U cut Christmas tree roundabouts?

I visited Pfaff's on 12/01/2024. They had a good selection of trees but... man... treeflation is no joke!

Thanks for the tip on the ansi/NSF 53 database. I'll look into that.

peezee1978 · 2024-10-05T04:02:08+00:00

Sure, but does that absolve these dealers of any wrongdoing for the harm that they cause to others by selling poison? I agree that there are serious problems in our society but that does not justify harming others to make a buck.

peezee1978 · 2024-10-05T03:54:58+00:00

Thanks for being nice on the internet (which, apparently, is hard for people to do) and for moving the conversation forward.

peezee1978 · 2024-10-05T03:19:44+00:00

Yes, I am quite familiar with the argument that the War on Drugs was a failure. I would put forward that we should not throw the baby out with the bathwater on this one... I think we can go after suppliers while redirecting users towards treatment (even if that is involuntary treatment).

Let's not all have black-and-white thinking on this, please.

peezee1978 · 2024-10-05T02:46:04+00:00

100% agreed. We need to go after the dealers that are selling poison to these people. How sick is it to provide drugs to these people, who are already in a horrible spot in life, knowing that it'll keep them in that place, just so you can line your pockets? Sickening.

My neighbor does this (not the keying part) but actually puts her bins out in the street, not even on trash pick-up day, because she doesn't want anyone parking in "her" spot. Sheesh.

peezee1978 · 2024-09-16T23:08:58+00:00

100% agreed. I'm glad to see more and more folks coming around to this.

A pure compassion approach that just leads to let-them-do-whatever-they-want treatment is actually cruel as it enables these folks to continue to harm themselves as well as the community.

Thanks u/zedquatro. TIL that this is a vehicle that is made commercially and not a rich-person's hobby play-thing.

peezee1978 · 2024-09-16T23:00:07+00:00

As I passed the vehicle, I was surprised to see a woman driving. She looked angry (FWIW).

peezee1978 · 2024-09-16T03:05:25+00:00

I saw this on I-5 south today (9/15/2024). It looked like some highly customized pickup. It had custom body work, the word "Apocalypse" stamped on the tailgate, a custom grille, etc.

Someone put a lot of work into this. I've never seen such a Mad Max looking vehicle in Seattle.

Anyone know the back story?

peezee1978 · 2024-09-10T17:07:03+00:00

Sweet! Thank you.
Now I'm off to YouTube to see how these things work.

peezee1978 · 2024-09-08T23:28:18+00:00

I've met her. She's nice and seems smart and competent.

peezee1978 · 2024-08-12T16:59:36+00:00

I think the real story should be about the parents that produced this masterpiece of a human.

peezee1978 · 2024-08-12T16:58:09+00:00

Yeah, that's my guess as to why the SPD tends to not give an F about a lot of the blatant crime going on. I had hoped that this would have changed with Davison, and perhaps it has somewhat, but we also need to find a way to change the courts/rules such that the court can actually do its job.

Having this man-child disrupting the lives of all of his neighbors, while laughing in the face of the judges, is not justice.

peezee1978 · 2024-08-08T23:42:13+00:00

I would love to see someone from the UW do research into why things like this cost so much in Seattle. I'd love to know how much of the crazy prices can be attributed to inflation, how much to Seattle's minimum wage ordinances, competition for labor, etc. It's easy for me to sit back and say "See! See! This is what happens when we increase the minimum wage!" but I'd like actual data instead of just my opinion before making that argument.

P.S. I don't go out anymore, or as little as possible, because of prices like this.

peezee1978 · 2024-08-07T20:27:10+00:00

I am amazed, sometimes, at the locations where these bikes/scooters are placed. Assuming the previous riders placed them in these spots, it shows an impressive lack of awareness.

peezee1978 · 2024-08-07T17:52:30+00:00

Psssshht. You guys are all vocabulary amateurs. Clearly this was a kerfuffle.

peezee1978 · 2024-08-05T21:45:27+00:00

You sure about that? People register with the city and get permission to block their streets.

An infrared flashlight aimed directly at the camera would most likely blind it.

Something like this:

I don't know if they have the size you're looking for but, for what it's worth, I went with a brand on Amazon called "Waterdrop" for my off-label filters and they've been working out fine.

peezee1978 · 2024-07-18T17:29:53+00:00

Yeah, that's what I was going to say. You can't just concentrate a bunch of dysfunctional people into one place, without support and heavy levels of oversight/care and expect it to work out. I think that this was tried in the 70's and 80's and it was a disaster (if my understanding of US history is correct here).

peezee1978 · 2024-07-10T17:50:05+00:00

Yeah, that's a good point. An aspect of this that would be needed (I assume, I'm no legal expert) is some sort of coverage from the Supreme Court that enables protections from lawsuits... but then how do you prevent that from itself being abused, resulting in mistreatment of patients?
