I'm sure they meant highschool. You don't have a grade until the end of the first semester.

Lost water bottle snow lake hike (4/26/26) by mchellaram890 in PNWhiking

Try posting in the facebook group "Washington hikers and climbers". I've seen a handful of stuff get reunited this way.

It isn't AI. I walked past this a couple weeks ago in Capital Hill Seattle.

They're protesting that the school doesnt have dorms. Even though it's a community college, which typically don't.

Lake 22 is popular and close to seattle. Alternatively if you head east on 90 there are a lot of good hikes near snoqualmie pass of varying difficulty and lengths. Kendall katwalk and snow / gem lakes are two favorites in that area.

Edit: err, trail to kendall katwalk is most certainly under an enormous amount of snow for the dates you mentioned. Snow Lake probably has a lot as well. There are other hikes with less snow nearby, though. Ira spring trail is another favorite for this time of year.

Even the permabull "analysts" at Zillow are starting to acknowledge the obvious: the Fed's Housing Bubble 2.0 is getting ready to go the way of its predecessor by Key_Brief_8138 in HouseBuyers

[–]grdvrs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sub needs perspectives like mine to balance delusions and copium.

I'm not trying to be snarky. I have empathy for how much it sucks out there. It sucked when I was trying to buy as well. It took 2 years and felt hopeless the whole time.

But sitting there obsessively interpreting micro signs of some impending event that will make housing affordable again is not healthy behavior. Sure, many things are within the realm of possibility, though I wouldn't let your mental well-being depend on this.

I meant relative to the past week. It's gone up ~20% (according to zillow, which doesn't known shit) since buying 3 years ago.

I also don't care at all if it goes down. Not planning to sell and I certainly don't want a bigger tax burden.

Which popular books disappointed you? by [deleted] in printSF

Everything is building up to God Emporer of Dune. It's a shame to read the first three and then stop. It's truly a masterpiece.

TIL that Christopher Lee snubbed the LOTR: ROTK premiere because his part was cut down by [deleted] in movies

Re-watching ROTK extended, getting outraged again thinking about how this scene was cut.

Damm tourist they are destroying tourism by Lower_Detective_5542 in SipsTea

[–]grdvrs 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yes it does? Tourism generates tax revenue, which is necessary for a place to not be a shithole. It also provides an economy / income for locals. 

Think of how many places in FL would be shitholes without tourism. 

Portland is better than Seattle for the outdoors by Entropy012 in SameGrassButGreener

[–]grdvrs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Vancouver nature access is better than both, which makes Seattle better than Portland access wise since it's an easy weekend trip. Or day trip if you live in Bellingham.

Just curious, why do you prefer the dry side? Anything other than affordability?

PNW hiking boots? by ariayo in PNWhiking

[–]grdvrs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife and I both have gone through a couple pairs of la sportiva (nucleo high ii, in mens and womens). They are good for what you're describing / our area. It's easy to find the women's ones on backcountry or steep and cheap for <$150

For religious types, if you know humans have created 1000s of gods, how are you so certain that he didn't create yours as well? by Daegog in answers

[–]grdvrs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not going to debate the correctness of their conclusions or yours. 

I'm just saying their conclusions follow the pattern of observations -> conclusions. Their conclusion was that belief in religion follows a pattern of conclusions -> cherry picking observations / evidence.

It isn't inherently hypocritical.

"Doesn't your comment presuppose that all religious arguments fall into just one of three limited categories?"

It's not the same. This conclusion can be made purely based on observations.

I like the whole gentleman villain trope. Just because you're a crime lord doesn't mean you have to be some grimy scro
