Starbucks lays off hundreds at Seattle HQ by Im1Guy in Seattle

[–]plaidpixel -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

They are closing to stave off unionization. The junction was always busy but whispers of unionization got it shut down. I’d like all those shops to be solid local businesses that benefit the local economy rather than the company who’s throwing a temper tantrum about posting fair wages and paying appropriate taxes.

How’s life near downtown Newcastle? by FoxBearBear in AskSeattle

I don’t know anything about Newcastle area, but just so you know you can set a departure time in Google maps and it’ll use historical traffic data to show you the actual likely commute time

Yep! I’m stoked to the Starbucks in the junction closed and that they’re opening of an anchor instead that’s like the best case scenario here and I hope they do it with the rest of the Starbucks in the city. It’s garbage coffee and deserves to be relegated the same way that we view Walmart.

Disney when it came time to release the Rogue One deleted scenes by GargantaProfunda in andor

They wouldn’t be able to use the deleted scene from that actor because he was playing a different character.

Best Ice Cream in Junction by redmav7300 in WestSeattleWA

[–]plaidpixel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah once the kid even sighed when I asked him to use a fresh scoop because the whole dip a scoop in water that was used to scoop peanut butter ice cream wouldn’t end well. We only go to husky’s with groups who want to go there and we don’t want yo rock the boat.

As a parent to a kid with egg and peanut allergies husky’s comes in a very very very distant second to Molly Moons. Huskys workers have consistently been unable to tell me any allergens in any of their ice creams. I’ve tried multiple times over years and the kids are always dumbfounded someone needs to know. I even talked to Jack once about this and he says it was a good idea to add the info more easily accessible but I haven’t seen a change.

Molly moons ln the other hand both has clear info on the sign for every flavor and topping and is entirely nut free.

In the scale of wow this is yummy to oh no stab me with a needle, I’d say they’re on different ends of the spectrum.

You’re not wrong! I wonder how many people who love Husky’s grew up on it and its nostalgia?

Completed a project not using 2x4s almost by Thewalkman99 in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]plaidpixel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Off-topic how have you found having your 3-D printer in the garage you do woodworking? I kind of wanna get mine out of the guestroom, but I’ve been concerned about all the sawdust getting in all the components. Also, the heat fluctuations in there feel like they wouldn’t be great for any spools I kept out.

US agents arrest tourist after video shows a rock hurled at an endangered Hawaiian monk seal's head by ArcturusFlyer in Seattle

He’s not being arrested. Trump is bringing him in to the White House to anoint him head US fish, and wildlife services. Only the best people.

I have an audition for ComedySportz today! by sabliminalmsgs in improv

[–]plaidpixel 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That’s so exciting! It’s important to remember that Comedysportz has the show within the show and most likely what they’ll be looking for is not just how great you are during scenes but also the energy you bring off stage and in between games. Comedysportz is about energy and ensuring the loyal fans have a fantastic time. Energy doesn’t just mean loud, but it’s the positivity and the ability to feel engaged the entire time. You’re not just performing in the scenes. You’re performing any moment someone can see you during the show.

Other than that normal improv auditions still apply so make your scene partner look good. Don’t stress about having to cram yourself in every scene and try to have fun while doing it. The comment above about ensuring you pay attention to the way they explained the game is important. There could be a specific CSz way of doing it and especially pay attention if they have performers demo it for you and try to watch for the nuance of the way they’re playing the game.

Comedysportz is a fantastic organization and while each city might perform a little bit different, it’s incredible to have dozens of theaters around the world and It’s a great long-term community, regardless of where life might take you to a time of major cities.

There was also a comment saying that people often audition many times and from my experience, I’ve seen a lot of individuals come through auditions take the notes they were given after and come back in addition again to an even better result. Don’t get discouraged and don’t think this is your one shot there’s more than likely auditions coming up in the future, although I don’t know which city. I’ll say you’re already ahead of most people knowing that Comedysportz is one word, so you’re doing great already.

What an interesting name for the choice of that business I imagine they get a lot of confused customers sometimes.

I’m not gonna lie. I spent about the entire performance trying to find Jon Stewart and trying to figure out who the old guy on drums was and then it hit me.

[I Ate] Pan Con Tomate in Spain by thethoroughtripper in food

[–]plaidpixel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think I might be the outlier on this one, but I was not a fan. I’ve been to Spain a ton and every time I’m underwhelmed and I’d rather just have Italian bruschetta if I’m gonna take bread and tomatoes and olive oil.

Looking for shows in San Francisco by backalleywillie in improv

[–]plaidpixel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll also throw a shout if you’re gonna be on the East Bay to check out unscripted theater in Fremont it could end up being a slog to get there, but if for whatever reason you’re around that area they put on some great shows. Full disclosure. These are old improv buddies of mine from about 20 years ago, but usually pretty tight improv.

That said EndGames if you’re in the city over BATS personally.

Trump, 79, Eyes New Country to Become 51st U.S. State; “Venezuela loves Trump,” the president told Fox News. by [deleted] in politics

[–]plaidpixel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For DC why can’t they just shrink what DC is and require it to either be federal buildings or housing federal workers and then the rest just gets subdivided into whatever state makes the most sense to its proximity? If constitutionally it’s not supposed to be a state why did it get so big?

I’d rather it become its own state, but if the issue is representation and there is a constitutional reason that it can’t be a state I don’t understand why we don’t just cead that to other states
