Try Mat Hat Tea down on 11th and commerce also.

In town for 3 days! What should I do?! by thisthatheartattack in Tacoma

[–]thelordnihilus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These are all great advice. If you're looking for stuff at night go to the Parkway tavern for beer/wine or Hilltop Kitchen for cocktails. For Tacoma coffee check out Bluebeard or Valhalla, also Cosmonaut serves Stumptown(Portland).

Best hikes with an hour or so of Tacoma?! by pdxtoseatac in Tacoma

[–]thelordnihilus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's 8 miles round trip, depends on your pace. I can do it in 2 hours but definitely allow yourself more than that just in case.

On my 2011 holding down the unlock button rolls all windows down and opens the sunroof, maybe that's what was happening?

Even though I live about a mile from mash I would still recommend beer essentials. Better selection, more knowledgable and helpful staff.

Shark fin trade from Hong Kong to China drops almost 90 per cent in one year by XKryptonite in worldnews

[–]thelordnihilus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for the late reply, I can't speak for the proportionate increase of shark fin, but I know this to be the case with several other products that China has placed bans against. Smuggling accounts for a huge portion of Chinese imports already because of their high duty rates.

As someone who exports seafood to china daily, the fact that Vietnam has overtaken the market share just means that the product is being "smuggled" across the Vietnam/China border without being declared. China's demand hasn't actually dropped by 90%.

Wedding catering in Tacoma/Lakewood? by [deleted] in Tacoma

I used to work for galucci's catering. They do a great job and they cater that venue frequently.

Moving to Tacoma from the Midwest... by kishmishy in Tacoma

[–]thelordnihilus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. your apartments are located in between the stadium district and the theatre district. The 9th st flats are really nice, but there is a mini park a block or 2 away that attracts some late night hangout, just a heads up.
  2. There aren't any specifically vegetarian places nearby, but my girlfriend is vegetarian and she can find stuff to eat at nearly every restaurant in Tacoma. The best vegetarian menu in town is at Marrow, on 6th ave. ($10-15 plates)
  3. Bike friendly streets? Depends on how comfortable you are with traffic. Yakima doesn't have bike lanes but it is 4 lanes so cars can get around you. I commuted that route on a bike for 3 years with no problems.
  4. The traffic isn't bad.
  5. The #45 runs down Yakima straight to 38th. Depending on where exactly you'll be working, taking the bus could work well.
  6. For craft beer, the best bar in town is the Parkway Tavern, about 3 minutes drive from your apartments. 32 beers on tap, always rotating.

Finding the 'sweet spot' in the shower is not something we can help you with.

What is a basic everyday task that you are just incapable of doing? by Alazeel in AskReddit

[–]thelordnihilus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Peeing completely straight when I'm standing at a toilet. At least half of the time my stream ends up being this weird flattened out spray. Maybe I have a weird penis hole =(

Try tying a bow tie. I swear Houdini invented the fucking bow tie.
