Well that was somehow worse than I thought it would be.

It is difficult for me to square a need for law enforcement with the reality that the people doing it are often not the people you want doing it.

The old saying about how I’d never join a club that would have me seems apropos.

My councilperson is Rob Saka. His deep commitment to more cops being the answer strikes me as deeply unserious.

Wikipedia functionally ended the market for encyclopedias. When I was a kid I would go to the library and read an encyclopedia just to see what random knowledge was in there. Traveling salesman would sell encyclopedias door to door and they were hugely expensive. Then Encarta came along and it was mind blowing you could have all that information on some CDs. Then Wikipedia killed all of them and did it for free.

When computers began to take hold in middle class homes, one of the biggest gold rushes was to be the encyclopedia of choice on the computer, since consumers saw encyclopedia software as an obvious (and maybe best!) use case for a computer.

Where do you look for stuff like that?

My account has been locked up because my daughter has three separate BG3 games going with friends. Last week my son said we need to put a time limit on her because nobody else can play on Steam.

If you're ok with small spaces, the Seattle underground tours are really really fun.

I live in West Seattle so I'm biased, but I think the best park in the city is Lincoln park over on the west side of West Seattle. Grab some sandwiches (or ice cream) from Husky Deli in Alaska Junction then head down to Lincoln Park, get a bench down by the waterfront, and just hang out. The southern most part of Lincoln Park is the easiest way to get to the water. You can go thru the park too (which is a big beautiful urban forest) but the walk down to the water thru the park is a little steep, especially for people not used to hiking.

If dorky Americana type stuff is fun for you, there are lots of semi-pro sports happening around then. Our family likes going to the Dub Sea Fish Sticks games here in West Seattle, but there's teams all over Seattle. The Fish Sticks play low level baseball and it's much more people having a good time outside and screwing around than actual serious baseball. There's also Ballard FC for soccer, with the same vibe.

Imagine being so divorced from your community that you think only the actual act of being killed in their school affects children and not the practicing for active shooters, dealing with the fact that people walk into schools and murder children in your society, etc and not understanding the possible consequences of that on small children.

Very good statistical argument. You may have missed a very small issue though, the part where it's children and being murdered and them having to deal with that. Other than that, well done.

When is she coming and do you have a car?

KillerTofu got it right, I just wanted to post and agree rather than just upvote. Yeasts changed the flavor of my homebrewing pretty significantly as well.

He said he could connect to windows and fedora thru bluetooth.

I was having the same problem last night trying to connect an controller thru bluetoothctl on Mint.

 

We’re camping at Orcas, got a room at that hotel at Paradise in Rainier, and got season tickets to West Seattle FC. Also looking forward to my Dub Sea Fish Sticks.

Zoo concert series looked okay. Hoping the music festivals kill it this year.

Back ribs (lemmy.world)

Cherry smoke. 4 hours at 225, then wrapped in paper and back on for another hour at 275. I moved to Seattle a couple years ago and have been doing tons of briskets and boudin for the Seattle people that don’t know great bbq, but I was missing a nice rib. Cut em up and served em but kept the chonky ends for myself. Left the silverskin on and it came off crackly and delicious.

Damn ribs are good.

My first. 10 lbs, bone in. Cooked at 175 for 6 hours until temp hit 128. Out of the oven for a rest with a light foil tent for 45 mins. Internal temp rose to 133.5 during the rest. Back in to oven on air fryer at 500 degrees for 6 mins. Exterior was blistered and delicious. Medium rare and just right. Served with homemade chimmichurri and horseradish sauces. Both were a hit.

 

Hope he’s alright. Probably time to start that post playing coaching career.

 

god damn son.

United vs. Gala was a hilarious disaster of a game punctuated with some great moments.

I left Sevilla PSV when it was 2-0 in the 60th. Apparently that was one of the worst decisions I've made in a good long time. How about Pepi with the killer header to win it?

Arsenal stomped Lens.

Inter vs. Benfica was amazing.

That Athletico goal was some bullshit, but it looked pretty cool.

What did I miss?

 

I have no idea. Curious where you guys are.
