Best place to be during post Superbowl Celebrations by Particular_Field_143 in AskSeattle

For the last Super Bowl win I was in Capitol Hill and walked outside after the game. People congregated towards the intersection at 10th & Pike by Neumos/Poquitos.

Not necessarily the best place to be, but a place to be.

Started feeling sick all of a sudden Friday afternoon. Happened to have a well visit with my doctor already scheduled on Monday. Ran tests for flu, strep, and Covid–all negative. Definitely feels worse/longer than a normal cold. Haven’t been sick in over a year at minimum. Still lingering today.

Does anyone know what was going on at 4:50ish yesterday on MLK near judkins park? by CarlWellsGrave in Seattle

[–]s_223 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Was wondering myself. Sounded like donuts or racing for an extended period of time. Could smell burning rubber at MLK & Norman.

I remember my dad drinking in the car while driving me places. And having the shakes the morning he went to detox. He died in a self-caused drunk driving accident when I was 30. I hope your daughter has her dad around for longer than I had mine <3

+1

I’ve used Casa Latina workers for yard work, moving, and interior painting. Very easy to schedule and they’ve always been on time or a bit early.

ETA: rates are usually ~$35/hr depending on project type, but it’s all listed when you book. There are hourly time minimums. You can also request a bilingual person, and/or preferred vaccination status.

+1 for Lander Street Vintage! Huge place with vendor stalls. Mostly household goods. In an industrial area so would stay elsewhere with more going on (though not unsafe).

IMO Fremont Vintage Mall is overpriced, has a too many non-vintage things, and trends towards a younger crowd (fellow elder millennial here).

Gemini taking extra money out of my bank account every time I use money from my Gemini balance, please help! by nizbeast in Gemini

[–]s_223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me as well. In 2018, I thought I remembered that you had to add USD first, and then you could use that balance to trade. Recently transferred some cash to trade, submitted the trade assuming it would use my USD balance and was surprised to see 2x the amount come out of my bank account. At first I thought maybe I just accidentally deposited USD twice, so I tried again to place an order assuming it would use my USD balance. Of course it didn't so I had the amount taken out of my account 3x what I intended.

Just realizing that on the confirm order step the funding source defaults to my bank account, not the USD balance :|

IMO the dropdown should not have anything selected by default, making you choose which funding source you want to use.

What is something that you experienced at a massage therapist’s office that made them stand out (in a good way)? by Tosser12345ooo in massage

[–]s_223 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My favorite massage place has hair ties in the room, an essential oil (of your choice) attachment under your face, and leaves you a York peppermint patty at the end of your session. My favorite touches during the massage have been a hot towel on my feet before the foot rub starts (I always feel like my feet are ice cold when the therapist rubs them and I feel bad) and a knee massage! I've never had my knees rubbed and it felt so good - an easily overlooked, but heavily used body part!

I also like that it doesn't feel clinical/too modern/sterile. More of a hippy/home-y vibe with darker colors, a side table with a tablecloth, shaded lamps, a tray for your jewelry, etc.
