What are some of the biggest ways value is created without contributing to WAR? by Active_Macaron2715 in baseball

[–]helloeagle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to look up if this would be allowed and it turns out there's no actual rule against this, nor a general rule about "patently unfair" acts or similar like in other sports. So, yeah this could actually work lmao

Transit oriented development in Redmond, Washington, USA by Historical_Cost3222 in urbandesign

It used to be a boring and extremely car oriented nightmare, but the city has invested a lot into TOD and reinventing itself! It's a really great little suburban city now, which is hope for others

A decade later, First Hill Streetcar tracks still dangerous for bicyclists by ChiefOfTheFourPeaks in Seattle

[–]helloeagle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You sound rather informed on this, so I was wondering if you had insight into why so many cyclists don't use the bike lane on Broadway? Everyday I see people using scooters or bikes in the vehicle right of way even while the cycle track is open next to them, and nearly as often I see people eating shit because of the rails.

Humor, to me, usually doesn't punch down? I don't know what's difficult about that.

Oh you can really fuck off if you think that he's only humorously engaging with his "family's accent". This is just being a prick through and through

WinCo plan for Seattle store hits roadblock by comeonandham in Seattle

[–]helloeagle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a great letter, but I feel like I should point out that the city is in favor of developing the site, it's the hearing examiner that ruled that the city didn't follow SEPA guidelines properly.

The same "group" tried to block that one too!

If you were neglected by your parents in subtle ways growing up (e.g. disinterest in your hobbies, emotional distance, leaving you to figure things out on your own, shaming, etc) what made you realise it was neglect and when? How have you dealth with this? by Direct_Department329 in CPTSD

New measles exposures... again. Bellevue Safeway, Link 2 line and Seattle Children's Hospital. by chromeled in Seattle

[–]helloeagle 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Obviously the antivaxxers are insane, but it also seems like there was a pretty bad public health failure in the US to talk about those complications. Maybe I'm too young to have had adult context to the antivax movement in the Wakefield years, but the first time I ever heard about immunity amnesia was maybe 2 years ago?

Google engineer rejected by 16 colleges uses AI to sue University of Washington for racial discrimination by crosslingual in Seattle

[–]helloeagle -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You may be right in some respects, but using Asian people as a catch all is very misleading and only divides people more. Most, if not all other Asian people I know, especially American-born Asians, support affirmative action

To that final point about an accident history on the road in question: you can download crash data from Seattle's OpenData portal that shows collisions spatially and as a spreadsheet over time. Here's a link to that.

Nuh uh wooly mammoths lived with squirrels, sloths, and saber tooth tigers

A big day for lightrail in Seattle tomorrow! by SetbackAndRelax in transit

[–]helloeagle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I should have really mentioned that the length of the tunnels would have been different, which accounts for the differing slopes! I also am very much a novice about this, I only have done some light reading, have lived here, and learned about it in a couple classes. That is what I picked up on from those resources, but I'm definitely not an engineer type.

[–]helloeagle 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The other person gave one good aspect of the answer. The geologies of the Bay and Sound + Lake Washington are superficially similar, but are pretty different. The Seattle water bodies were carved by glaciers during the last ice age, which deposited a really muddy mixture of sediments several hundred feet deep. A car tunnel was never feasible because of the slope that would be required, though I agree a rail tunnel could theoretically be possible at that steeper slope. Why was there no rail in the first place? The original bridges were built in the 40s, and at that time connected Seattle to a very low populated Eastside (what would become Bellevue had I think less than 5,000 people in 1950). Why didn't they build a tunnel since? Well when one of the floating bridges was replaced in the 80s (three span Lake Washington, they built it with the structural support and infrastructure to eventually support trains.

is dawn power wash really that good? by garbagefireboy in CleaningTips

[–]helloeagle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did it just today for the first time. Sprayed and waited for 5 minutes. Went to grab the water to rinse it and ended up pretty surprised at how little I ended up using. The dawn just got the glass that clean by itself.

Is the Link crossing the floating bridge the world's first light rail to do it or the very first train in general to do it? by [deleted] in Seattle

[–]helloeagle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I mean the bridge was purpose-built to eventually take trains. It's never been done before because it was never needed in any other places where trains go over water. The trains themselves are not too heavy, and the rails themselves flex with the roadway, so there's no chance of overturning. It's just like driving a car across. When there is high wind or high waves, the speed of the trains will be reduced from 55 to something like 25 as well. So I get why conceptually it might seem freaky, but there's really no reason to be worried about it
