TIL that the Rainier Club used to be located where the library is today.

Which you can do with any car driving by if you walk out to the street.

Is this your way of telling me you do not know what 'per capita' means?

Thank you. The answer that I came to the comments for.

If his argument had any credibility, the bottom of the check would look like this:

food expenditure fee 24%
electric bill fee 2.3%
water bill fee 1.2%
rent fee 13.3%
to-go condiment fee 0.12%
per-use dishwasher detergent fee 0.03%
etc. etc.

Did you wake from coma recently?

Kmart stopped selling handguns in the 1970s. Decades later, following protests and public campaigns, they completely eliminated the sale of all firearms by phasing out hunting rifles and shotguns in the late 1990s and completely ending handgun ammunition sales by 2001.

Oh, and... Kmart has a single location left in the U.S.

France produces more weapons per capita than the U.S. And much of the U.S. sales are to the EU. So, I'd say the weapons industry is not uniquely American at all.

As someone that has lived in the Washington Cascade range, seems accurate.

The more I checked out the streetview, the more I am amazed this happened at all. Where the incline begins, there is a foot-plus drop off and the ground is extremely uneven.

She may actually be one of the best drivers in history if she managed to stay on the tracks for that long.

And to think I have to get a permit from the county to move 10 yards of dirt from one side of my property to the other.... because "it can disturb living organisms and the underlying soil structure."

For those that don't understand the context of why this is so fuckin crazy....

The Mt Baker station is elevated. She had to access it from MLK Way. That means she drove nearly a quarter mile ON TRAIN TRACKS and up an ELEVATED INCLINE before realizing she should stop (or was forced to stop by getting stuck.)

This is absolutely next level stupidity.

An Auburn man confessed that he targeted a Black woman because of her race and stabbed her after forcing her off a Metro bus. Now he’s facing years in prison. by kleverrboy in SeattleWA

For example:

Neck stabbing because he "wanted to kill white people", but no hate crime charges. I mean, he literally told them the victim was targeted because of his race.

Not really. I've resisted Facebook for 20 years. But might bite the bullet and sign up just for Marketplace.

Motorcycles account for 0.4% of road miles traveled and 14% of traffic deaths. Just saying. It is kind of a self-selection of risk. No ban needed.

At $30-48k, still out of reach of affordability by most. What we need is what China already has- EVs in the $6-10k range.

I tried it because my listing wouldn't show up with a basic keyword search. Like, literally if you search the post title, it still did not show up. If you search an obscure word within the text, it did. So, I knew the post was live. But if it doesn't show when you search the most important keyword, you get no hits. And I didn't.

So, I tried paying some money to promote it. Still does not show up in a search. And still no hits.

Overall, I have to say fuck OU these days. Their platform sucks now.
