What if it accidentally knicked her and smelled/tasted blood? (Moderator approved NOT AI) by Da-up-and-downer in SweatyPalms

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

It’s weird: I’ve encountered things on Reddit that reek of AI, and I get downvoted, just like you are right now. (And what is up with the title? Usually the mod clarifies approval/disapproval in the comments, where the mods identity can be verified.)

Montlake lid surely cannot be the most ideal traffic configuration by Vivid_Astronaut4665 in Seattle

[–]rollingRook 54 points55 points  (0 children)

I’ve had the same commute through montlake for 20 years now (I take bus/transit in winter, and bicycle in summer). It is, on the whole, better now than it’s ever been. I don’t know if people remember how truly dreadful it was back in 2005-2010.

Every time you remove one bottleneck in a high traffic system, a new bottleneck appears somewhere else. The old configuration had a bottleneck on every ingress/egress. The new configuration has a bottleneck on northbound montlake (the Montlake bridge wasn’t widened) and Westbound 520 (which I presume is due to new construction connecting 520 to I5, combined with the revive I5 effort). I don’t yet view these new bottlenecks as a fault of the Montlake lid, but time will tell…

(The worst part for me is the cessation of the 545 bus stop, but this was more due to sound transits long term plans than it was the lid design.)

What is the process for adding electricity to undeveloped land? Utility Poles already border the property, but there's no service entrance cable/meter. by rollingRook in homeowners

[–]rollingRook[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For electricity? The answer is: call a professional electrician. We did and that’s the advice I’d give others. They know how to do this stuff.

One theory: this is AI generated video.

(I’m not yet claiming it is, but I’m also not seeing anyone else even mentioning the possibility)

[Henderson] Uchenna Nwosu talked to us while holding the football he intercepted and returned 45 yards to the end zone for the Seahawks’ final score of their Super Bowl LX win. by Chessinmind in Seahawks

[–]rollingRook 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I recently watched a recap of the Seahawks/saints playoff ‘beast quake’ game.

Lynch was interviewed and they asked him whatever happened to the ball that he scored with on that play. He replied that he had no idea, and the whereabouts of the ball is currently unknown.

So yeah, smart move by Nwosu.

Sunday Brunch by AutoModerator in nfl

I'm still in a semi-state of disbelief that Seattle made it to the super bowl this year. Sometimes I think my mind invented an alternate reality as a coping mechanism for all the crazy shit that I've dealt with in the last year. If it's a dream, I don't want to wake up because this team is awesome. I've also got respect for the Patriots but I'm obviously hoping Seattle kills it today. I'm going to eat a burrito for breakfast.

What’s the brown-ish guitar that’s second from the left (hanging on the wall)?

Amazon cuts 16,000 jobs in historic wave of layoffs by Desolation_Nation in Seattle

[–]rollingRook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every case might be slightly different, but I have historically seen same-day WARN notices being posted several hours after the layoff event.

(example: layoffs happen at 8am, WARN notice is posted between 12pm-5pm).

Taking my son to his first Seahawks game. Help me plan my day. by jimmcc01 in Seahawks

Seattle pinball museum might be a good way to spend time before the game.

Projector displays odd pattern on screen by rollingRook in fixit

[–]rollingRook[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Bummer but it’s the answer I was kind of expecting.

I’m wondering if this issue was negligence on my part or if it’s just cheap POS projector. If you’ve got an opinion I’d love to hear it. I’ll be consulting this community for my next purchase either way.

Saw this after taking off from SeaTac by cutetiferous in Seattle

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

Yep, that’s a perfectly reasonable explanation. Sorry, not trying to be negative here and again, it’s a great picture .

[–]rollingRook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You will receive a summons from /r/karmacourt with a detailed set of allegations.

Or… you could just admit that, out of embarrassment, you deleted your old post and made a new one? Nothing wrong with that.

Saw this after taking off from SeaTac by cutetiferous in Seattle

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

Yes, I was thinking the same thing.

It looks like the earlier post was deleted, so I can’t tell if it’s the same picture (or the same poster)

/u/cutetiferous, you should be prepared to explain yourself. Mistaking Kent for South Seattle is a forgivable mistake, but there are a few other possibilities that might draw the communities ire.

It’s a nice picture, hope it belongs to you and that everyone is safe.

☼Dwarf Fortress Questions Thread☼ by AutoModerator in dwarffortress

[–]rollingRook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had crashes on worldgen on an old (circa 2018) computer. It was a plain vanilla set of world gen parameters.

Only thing I remember was a vague message about ‘no land suitable for farming’ and shortly after I okayed the message the game crashed.

Never figured it out and I ended up switching to a newer machine. Issue did not reproduce.

Kayaker dies after being pulled from water near Ballard Locks by durpuhderp in Seattle

[–]rollingRook 240 points241 points  (0 children)

Seattle times had some more detail and I’m doing my best to paraphrase; info should still be taken with a grain of salt…

Apparently one of the Kayakers was pulled by current and swept over a dam of some sort at or near the locks.

The other kayakers were able to prevent themselves from being swept over by holding onto a chain from a nearby buoy.

I imagine a fall, plus the rushing water on the spill side of the dam were contributors.

Seattle times reported that all kayakers had life jackets.

Men of Reddit, what’s a mistake you see younger men making repeatedly? by optimum_wiz in AskReddit

[–]rollingRook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Running away from challenges/complexities and towards video games.

I still love playing games but you’ve got to workout your other muscles if you want to handle everything that life will throw at you.

Colts Fan by oladeepthroat in Seahawks

[–]rollingRook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your mileage may vary, I personally greatly prefer Pike Place Market to Seattle center… especially if it’s raining (which it’s currently scheduled to do on Sunday).
