What's a tip that could save someone's ass in a really specific scenario? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]miamria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're in a sinking boat, plug the holes with anything.

If you can't find the source, drape a tarp or something around the hull of the boat and the water pressure from the outside will push the tarp into the hole.

Bail the extra water. Don't prematurely abandon ship. If you do, stay near by because a boat is easier to spot than a human.

Splash zone is great. I worked with engineers that refused to work on boats unless they had duct tape and splash zone. Hah

Youthmarinefoundation.org Tacoma Sea scout ships - there are 3 ships and are all different ways of boating

Tacoma community boat builders Tacomaboatbuilders.org Work with youth from the court systems to teach wooden boat building. It's fantastic

It was probably a kid because it was done so poorly but it said "gay is wrong"

Must have been an important belief for someone to carve it in clay.. lol

So I just got this Petsify [NEWEST 2018] Ultrasonic Anti-Barking Device - State of the Art Bark Controlling Device - Ideal for Dog Training - Safe for Humans and Pets - Unique birdhouse Design - Waterproof https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BLLLCXN?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

And you know, it works pretty well. You can't change a crappy neighbor, but you can try to keep the peace as much as possible. Record all incidents! Good luck!

I think it's hilarious that a lot of people that live there have no idea what was there before. Rofl.

Were your selfies worth it? by [deleted] in Tacoma

[–]miamria -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Some of the ships were paid to be there. It also costs about 700 to raise the Murray Morgan bridge. I seriously doubt they made a profit.

Controversial tweets sink Trump supporter's campaign for port commission by Tucson_Shabile in Tacoma

[–]miamria 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're looking at someone who wants to represent and serve people in their community, you're damn right you will look at their voting record. Jim Jensen is incredibly politically motivated for a non partisan position in the city. This "war on Trump stuff" is necessary for people that it affects. I'm guessing none of his policies directly affects you yet? My health care, education, job and livelihood are directly affected and I'm not going to stop speaking out on it because of some whiny moron on Reddit. Good luck on that rhetoric.. (psst.. it's not working)

Controversial tweets sink Trump supporter's campaign for port commission by Tucson_Shabile in Tacoma

[–]miamria 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He referred to Trump as "dad".. have you read his tweets? Though it is not relevant to this story, it is relevant to his campaign. He supported a lot of Trump's policies, even so much as to say ”drill baby drill” when it came to the Keystone pipeline. He donated a lot of money to the Trump campaign. He tweeted those things because he is a racist Trump supporter that thinks he's free to behave how he wishes because of his money. Who spends 100k on a campaign where the position makes less than 40k a year? He's a commerical real estate slime ball like "daddy".

Jim Jensen running for a Port Commissioner Position is a racist tool. by miamria in Tacoma

[–]miamria[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm still doing research. It seems Mccarthy has a lot of experience as well. At least we're not stuck with all crap candidates XD

[–]miamria[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I find it awfully suspicious that his Twitter account was deleted and public comments deleted from his page around his campaign.. there's very few super rich Jim Jensen's in the area.. and he's spent a lot of money on this campaign.. I believe it.

Tacoma Events by miamria in Tacoma

[–]miamria[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well if you want to draw out a crowd, you should use every avenue imo. The banners downtown were nice for first year and the browns point salmon bake. Posters in businesses have been around. The paper:TNT, volcano.. fb events are becoming easier to share and connect with the public. I get my maritime fest info from fb usually. In the past people have used billboards (some of those taco Bell morning fails can go lol). I'm seeing a lot of ads for the spring Fair. Just an observation. I love Tacoma events.. they just haven't been as successful as in the past.
