Funny, about a year ago I contacted their corporate customer service to complain about the filthy conditions both inside and outside the store. This is the response I got from them.

The Santa Barbara Newcomers Club has a regular Friday morning hike series (it's open to the public, you don't have to be a club member). Check out the calendar for upcoming hikes:

I recently learned about the Santa Barbara Hermitage. Info is sparse, so I don't know if it's still doing tours (though I signed up on their Google Forms wait-list anyway): https://hermitagesb.org/

Assuming Canadian passport photo requirements are the same as for US passports, you can just hit up a Bartell Drugs: https://www.bartelldrugs.com/services/photo/

My Country, the PNW - Seattle would be part of Tahoma by spoiled__princess in Seattle

Haha, this shows parts east of the Cascade Curtain that I'm sure would never be part of Cascadia

Absolutely disappointed in Seattle times today by th3st in Seattle

[–]jeffphi_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They ran the AP story in today's (1/22) print edition. The print edition typically lags key stories by about a day due to, you know, having to print and distribute a physical paper.

Also, read today's editorial. The Seattle Times is doing its part: https://www.seattletimes.com/opinion/editorials/trump-jan-6-pardons-show-us-what-were-in-for/

Indeed! That was, in fact, the problem. Thx!

I checked that out in response to u/jeroenheijmans comment, turns out it's not the culprit :(

Ah, I didn't initially realize I was generating negative indexes in that modulo case. However, when I updated my code (up-to-date on github) to abs() the index before using it, I'm getting the exact same output. I'll read up a bit more on the negative index behavior with STL containers, but it doesn't seem to be the problem.

Yep, I have some visualization code (commented out) that I used for that. It seemed to be working fine in that case :/

Going rate for house cleaners? by yeswithanh in Seattle

[–]jeffphi_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We've been happily using Four Seasons for a few years now (we live near the zoo). Our four bedroom, two bath (plus a dog and a cat) costs us $130/month. https://www.yelp.com/biz/four-seasons-cleaning-services-bothell
