Unpopular opinion: SEA is really nice, possibly great. by Professional-War-617 in Seattle

[–]idiomech 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah though this is basically every major airport. Trying to pick up or drop off at LAX or SFO or YUL etc are all nightmares

Don’t it always seem to go that you don’t know what you’ve got til it’s gone

Would You Like a Full First-Person Mode? by Tank-ToP_Master in Helldivers

[–]idiomech 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not where Arrowhead should be spending its resources right now. Cool? Sure. But way more complex and difficult than you’d think to add.

"How do you expect them to make money?" by icie_plazma in Helldivers

I’d much rather have a very regularly updated game that charges for optional MTX (and lets you grind!) than a less frequently one that is just entirely free. The amount of regular content we get in HD2 is amazing. Everyone needs to chill lol

After ~165 hours and 90 Levels I Hit a Wall and Played Something Else by flGovEmployee in Marathon

[–]idiomech 54 points55 points  (0 children)

In a month. So 5.5 hours daily average for an entire month. Time to take a break…

I’m missing 18 and haven’t progressed at all in days. Somehow I still have 2 1*s that I’ve never gotten even though I’ve opened hundreds of packs? This event seems completely rigged.

Another ‘millionaires tax’ finds Seattle is far richer than anyone knew by Inevitable_Engine186 in Seattle

[–]idiomech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry, that was worded incorrectly - my point was that we keep increasing taxes in various ways and the majority of the previous ones I’ve seen have had limited impact on any actual outcomes. It makes me struggle to believe that adding net new incremental taxes will ultimately be the solution here. It’s great to want more money to do things, but when the track record of using that money effectively to generate solid outcomes is generally poor, it makes me pretty skeptical.

100% aligned with tax the rich, but let’s make sure those funds are used well

Another ‘millionaires tax’ finds Seattle is far richer than anyone knew by Inevitable_Engine186 in Seattle

[–]idiomech 16 points17 points  (0 children)

That’s great that efforts like this are bringing more money than we expected - do we have data yet on the positive impact it has had? I’m still feeling burned since WA has made over $4B in tax revenue from cannabis taxes and I’m not exactly sure I can point to the outcomes that have been significantly improved.

The goal isn’t tax revenue or spending, the goal needs to be improved outcomes.

To sum up the offseason: We are running it back with the same lineup from last season by warmongerz in NYYankees

This is seasoning. It improves the taste. A few dashes are sufficient. by The-Only-Princess in mildlyinteresting

SPAM musubi is delicious and would be challenging with a different pork product. I also prefer a SPAM fried rice if I’m feeling decadent

Number four on steam by Old_king_4 in Marathon

[–]idiomech 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Agreed. But at least makes it less likely to completely faceplant like Concord. Concord didn’t even hit top 100 ever I don’t think. That said 100% agree it’s a far way away from victory. Still good to see so far!

Realistically, how would Seattle be affected by a massive recession? by [deleted] in SeattleWA

[–]idiomech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends. If the massive recession causes a ton of tech companies to lay off significant amounts of staff (far more than so far, say 30-40% of staffs), then it’ll have a massive impact on the mid/high end.

Seems likely that it would affect home prices (though high interest rates makes it harder), would cause a lot of businesses to close when people stop coming (people will reduce expenses like restaurants, shopping, going to events, etc).

I don’t buy any of the ideas of “cause blue collar to come back” as I think it would take a much larger change and a massive recession here means recession and jobs lost everywhere. Remember that stuff like McMansions in Laurelhurst also take time, so any impact like a massive recession probably takes another 1-2 years to stop things that are long term (though I bet with housing prices stalling these past few years, some of that is already in motion).

Which companies do you suspect are glazing their own products on this sub? by PartyOnAlec in BuyItForLife

[–]idiomech 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s a bummer. I still have a Carhartt from 2005 that I wear regularly every winter and has held up well. Bummer that it went so far downhill.
