  1. It'll flood our city with that riff raff from Bellevue 

  2. You think it’s bad now, but just imagine how bad 3rd and pine will be once this thing opens.

  3. With current interest rates pushing 8% and no substantial decrease in home values, they are not wildly out of line. It got vastly more expensive to buy a home in the last few years.

  4. I would consider this bare bones minimum in Boston. Honestly probably need more like $260k+. Housing is absurdly expensive. I’ve been priced out.

  5. If you find yourself in this scenario, go get yourself some Tecnu original, not the “extreme” one that has grit, that would be far too abrasive for this situation, trust me. Once you have a bottle you’ll want to generously apply the liquid directly to the affected area, let it sit for at least a minute or two, rub vigorously. Rinse with water and dry with a clean towel. The sap should dissolve right off, if not, repeat the steps again as needed until you are satisfied.

  6. Every Tuesday, the supermarket ads come in the mail. I flip through them and circle the best deals, and that's what I usually get. But honestly, that's how I was raised. We ate what was on sale. This week Albertsons has two pounds of cheese for $4.41. Can't beat that deal with a stick. Also chicken thighs were 99 cents per lb.

  7. I feed chatGPT all the ingredients I will have and request for meal ideas or full recipes. Usually works pretty well.

  8. Doesn’t Zimbabwe currently or recently have a white Vice President? Like there still a few descendants of the colonizers in the former African colonies.

  9. White people still definitely live in Zimbabwe. Just not nearly as many as when this photos taken.

  10. This stupid video is stretched vertically to exaggerate the height. Look closely at the cars and see each are abnormally tall.

  11. Almost every video showing mountains, valleys, bridges, and tall building has this now and it’s infuriating.

  12. For 3 billion dollars they wouldn't be able to finish the lobbying part of the project in the USA.

  13. The current estimate to replace the Interstate 5 bridge

  14. Yes, thought about it many, many times. Went through a bunch of online courses, but never felt proficient enough to pull the trigger on applying to programming jobs. I’m the best person at data management in my group now though, and have a decent job at this point so probably will just stay put. CS seems pretty saturated now too with everyone gunning for those sweet $300k+ FAANG jobs, probably much harder to get into now than it was a few years ago.

  15. Thanks. This sounds encouraging. I also learned some basics of data analysis and now figure out that env + data anlytics seems a good combination. Both sectors seem hot right now and some roles might lead to an interesting career.

  16. I would love to see what kind of atrocity the TJ think-tank would cook up for a parking lot downtown.

  17. The Capitol Hill Seattle TJs is probably what it would look like. In a car garage, Tight AF, and always full.

  18. I’ve reported specific clubs before for shower issues. Use this page:

  19. Welcome to Bakersfield California. Everyone else is moving here from the Bay Area and LA, so why not you?

  20. https://www.reddit.com/r/Bakersfield/comments/1c0sonr/fuck_the_haters/

  21. Drill down with a 10” hole, leave pipe in hole, remove 10” attachment, add 10’ attachment, pull up. Cuttings fall to the bottom of the hole with a mucker down there to clean it up.

  22. I work on mine cleanups, literally dealing with what you are talking about. Metal precipitation is often really pretty, tons of orange, white, and blues come out. The water is often crystal clear or sometimes a tinge of blue, green, or orange. But when you realize it’s like a pH of 3, completely saturated with heavy metals, and nothing is alive in it or the steam it’s entering it becomes a different thing.

  23. 6,000 feet is a very, very small mountain, and that length of a total haulage adit (tunnel is acceptable too, adits and tunnels both breach the surface, they’re fairly interchangeable terms) is considered normal or even on the short side in many mines.

  24. Iron is pretty common in mine drainage, I’m not sure you can accurately determine geography based just on that. I’ve seen this type of iron precipitation in many mines across the US. Cool right up though, lots of good info.

  25. You joke, but that’s essentially what is happening across the US west coast. Some places call them slums, townships, Hooverville, or something else, but that’s effectively the direction we are heading.

  26. A bag of Lays is $4.79. I remember when that shit was $2.50 not long ago.

  27. I swear I’ve seen them from $5-$7 in my area recently. I refuse to pay that much and haven’t purchased a bag in like 2 years.

  28. I was at $57k in a VHCOL like 5 years ago with several years experience and an MS degree. Gotta take what you can get sometimes.

  29. In addition to #3 is people who can’t fly or don’t want to for various reasons. They might be on a no-fly list, they might want to be as incognito as possible (or think they are being that way), or have a fear of flying. It can be an odd crowd, but I’ve met many people in this category.

  30. You think this is weird? Look into the human zoos and the orphan trains. It was real

  31. https://www.reddit.com/r/oddlyterrifying/s/lJ95gFbYxF

  32. If I were a president, I'd ban this outright. Same prices outside vs inside, or you cannot trade. We can't even bring anything with us because they won't let liquid through security.

  33. Portland Oregon International has mandated this. It’s great.

  34. Did not know this. Just went through PDX last night coming home. I could've swore the Burgerville cheeseburgers were more $$ than normal, but perhaps I was wrong, and it's just that ALL the Burgervilles are now charging more.

  35. Eswatini, since that's not what was always there.

  36. I was there not too long ago. Nice country, I had a good time.

  37. Join TimeLeft. It pairs you with people with similar interests and ages at a dinner. I’m going to one of their dinners this week.

  38. For anyone looking into this in the US, it’s only available in Boston, New York, Philly, and Washington DC.

  39. I've been doing this for a long time, so I don't really worry about things like showers and parking and bathrooms anymore because I basically know where to find everything easily now pretty much anywhere. The only places where I've ran into trouble is some homeless hot spots on the California coast where businesses will close down all of their bathrooms (no wonder people shit on the street).

  40. Can you provide insight into how you find places to park and sleep?

  41. Seattle is close, but so expensive. Maybe port Angeles, port Townsend, Astoria, Newport, or coos Bay?

  42. Newport and Coos Bay are very remote, just be aware of that. Very difficult to get to and few job opportunities. Astoria and Port Townsend are pushing it too, but slightly more connected.

  43. Do you live in Seattle? Is the rest of the year (outside summer) not so great then?

  44. If you like darkness, 42°F and rain it’s great. If not it’s terrible. Every winter is a little different, and people have strong opinions on what it’s actually like, but in my opinion it’s pretty dark and and we do occasionally get a month+ span without seeing the sun. It’s like the opposite of West Texas.

  45. In my experience, they will kill all your vegetation if they can get to it, and the smell of goats is ever present.

  46. I did this recently on two back to back flights from Johannesburg to London then London to the US. Just watched the map and did breathing exercises and meditated. Went pretty well actually.

  47. omg this. Now that I'm closer to retirement than youth, I have disposable income and we invested in a Saatva mattress. I never want to sleep away from home.
