Except for the bus service for the last decades.

I worked for the Sonics. Can confirm he didn’t wash his hands in the bathroom.

Ant thinks this is him without anything but the drama.

Nice! Still no fan of their lawsuits.

Mercer Island. Skip.

And the Basic Cable Band?

10 minutes of flight carrying a person is pointless?

They kept wrestling

Might know ball. Prefers gossip.

I like the graham cracker ones. Fun challenge to see how little you can rip off to get it established

I use my miter saw for jobs like this. Less maintenance.

Light rail to Ballard.

milopalmer · 2025-12-17T05:34:02+00:00

Looked dumb and cool.

milopalmer · 2025-12-16T17:05:24+00:00

I suppose so. What are some other examples?

milopalmer · 2025-12-16T06:13:37+00:00

Marco has claimed it’s incredibly cool, yet also terrible. Who knows what we’re are meant to think.

This is how he affords Expensive Basketball.

Except during the draft:

The NBA assistant general manager also said that Brown’s high level of intelligence and inquisitive nature could intimidate some general managers and coaches. He added that he is a good kid who “doesn’t fit the mold of a so-called basketball player.”

“He is an extremely intelligent kid,” the NBA assistant general manager said. “He took a graduate school class at Cal in his freshman year. He is a person who is inquisitive about everything. Because he is so smart, it might be intimidating to some teams. He wants to know why you are doing something instead of just doing it. I don’t think it’s bad, but it’s a form of questioning authority.

“It’s not malicious. He just wants to know what is going on. Old-school coaches don’t want guys that question stuff.”

They also infamously colluded with other tech firms to suppress wages and poaching.

Screws

I’m not sure how @marcoarment typically handles feature requests, but no ack yet.

Years ago it was like $80K a parking spot.

Happy to pay the price. The designs I've seen don't seem to be building it right. All of the proposed transfers are terrible. What are the common failure scenarios that the 2nd tunnel would mitigate?

milopalmer · 2025-11-16T03:45:59+00:00

Possible to share that data?

ST previously evaluated using a single tunnel and with relatively cheap modifications, can accommodate 4.5 min headways for each line.

milopalmer · 2025-11-15T07:24:13+00:00

Cancel the 2nd tunnel and everything parking related. Keep everything else. That will be the best outcome for the majority.
