I love you both very much.

I still play SSX3 GameCube version on my Wii.

I don’t know what that means and it’s giving me anxiety.

For sure. I know you’re not the author. I’m stating that again in case there’s confusion for anyone else.

Man it used to piss me off when people would throw stones from outside. Like be involved, sure. That’s great.

But we’re in here with budgets and stakeholders tryna find a path forward that works that isn’t kicking the can and instead makes real decisions about the future of the city and when the fuckin answer is the same old tired ass conservative shit, man it’ll drive you crazy. You start dismissing them out of hand but that sucks because they’re your citizens too.

At least the libs had interesting positions. It was questions of fairness and justice and stuff like that.

It was always either No from conservatives because of money or kicking the can cause they want to say no but can’t for some reason.

My brothers and sisters in Christ when we get fuckin consent decreed and the feds break their whole foot off in our ass I promise the cost will be worse

Sorry. Trauma dumping.

What is it with posting haters of the West Seattle rail project?

I would encourage readers, as I would for anyone reading anything, to do a quick background check on the author. He will show you who he is very quickly.

I worked in government and I think voices from across the spectrum is only a good thing when we sit down to figure out how to proceed. However, I don’t have to take that shit seriously once they retire and roll over to their think tank and shit all over process because they checked responsibility for outcomes at the door. I worked at public works and I rarely comment on the actual deliberations happening today cause it’s really hard to do when you’re there but really easy to shit on from the outside, like the author is.

But hey, conservative think tanks always paid the best for trashing the process. I wish I could have just sat my integrity aside to cash their checks. Libs don’t pay shit for it.

As for the author, my question is what in your piece went unexamined that would support a rail link and why did you choose to leave that part out? What is the strongest argument for the rail? What’s the second strongest? There have been many big rail projects that were called out for expense but ended up defining regions and positively transforming them. Would you have argued against those too?

My brother is a journeyman plumber in Seattle WA. He only does new pipe on metal frame (big buildings) for new build. He makes $130k a year not counting overtime.

Great job. Amazing job.

This was a long time ago in a different world. I’m an old man now. My job now is coaching soccer and gardening and baking, but thanks for writing that. Hopefully new admins see it.

And it was literally.

Lived long enough to see themselves become the villain.

It depends on the environment for sure. That was standard at the end of my career but definitely not at the beginning.

No but it’s a good start. The problem is that literally everyone would do it, from directors to the lowest paid people on the job. EVERYBODY does it. We detected and blocked, so then they started hardwire connecting to switches that they saw in offices. We had blocked those, so they started trying to connect to industrial switches out in the factories.

It was maddening.

You would be shocked at the amount of times employees would bring devices into our air gapped network.

All those taxes we pay to antifa and what do we have to show for it smh

I’ve got tix to see them in Seattle on Sept 30!

I’ve got tix at the end of the month!

Hey there

My neighbor does this and I hate them. I have peanut shells all over my property. I can’t walk barefoot because there’s so fucking many shells.

They’re in my drains. They’re in my flower and veggie beds. Birds pick them up and take them to my roof and try to crack them at 6am and wake us up.

I HATE HATE HATE my peanut throwing neighbors.

I subscribe to this community by RSS feed. I saw the headline and ran over to this thread as fast as I could.

The light rail is going to come with displacement. My kids go to Mode Music, which will be displaced. We love the Skylark and hang out there regularly, which will also get the axe.

It’s a super bummer because we love those places, but a gondola is fuckin crazy talk.

Ain’t. Fuckin. Happenin.

Dense residential is the future and the Delridge neighborhood is primed to do it. It’s affordable by Seattle standards and there’s a ton of ground ready to build to the sky.

You didn’t think the right note to go out on was with Ewoks doing fat rails and partying to that banger song Love The One You’re With?

The first pc I bought had a Cyrix processor cause I couldn’t afford Intel.

I shorted them hard once. They stayed solvent longer than I could.

Outlets like them never stay the same. They either get better or get worse. I sure hope they get better.

I send em a fiver every month.
