Yes please. Right on.

I just sent em $10. Thanks for posting the link.

SSL Certs were so god awful before certbot that it’s hard to explain now that it’s so easy and free.

I bet Jill Stein will help.

Not all of them, no.

I love you both very much.

I still play SSX3 GameCube version on my Wii.

what’s the recipe

I was a poll watcher in Texas. Electioneering was never a big deal before because you didn’t have people whose entire personality was being Donald Trump cult members. Electioneering violations were almost always small candidates trying to get name recognition at the last second. They’d have someone post up with a car with signs on it.

But the rules were good for reducing tension because the line to keep out was clear and it kept politicking out of the voting area.

Obviously the entire concept of reducing tension is foreign to the Trump nutters.

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?

They were amazing at the time and now they feel completely weird in the hand. The knockoffs feel even worse. Hoping this one is good.

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.

I heard it as little kids, little problems. Big kids, big problems.

I think it’s always important to keep perspective. Ultimately, you have very little control over the human they choose to be. I think back to my parents. They had influence, sure, but in reality I was the one driving. You can leave little Easter eggs in their psyche, but it’s a crapshoot if it works or not. I’ve always told mine since they were small that my best day will be the day they meet me as an equal. Both of mine held onto that and now see it as a marker in their own lives.

When they’re little, you’re something like a deity. You know everything and your word is as close to law as it gets. At some point, that stops. It felt to me like it happened in little bits then all at once.

Trauma not dealt with is passed on and someday you’ll see your negative traits (that you thought you were so clever in hiding) start to manifest in your kids. That was scary for me, but then I came realize I was no different. You’ll face yourself and that’s when you need to be your best self. You’ll fail sometimes, but that’s life. You’ll succeed too, and boy that feels great.

Self harm was the one that hurt me. It felt like a rejection of me and the world I’d constructed. It look me longer than it should have to get them help. I just wasn’t ready.

Big kids, big problems.

I dunno. Maybe that was a lot of words without purpose. What I can say is that each kid and each age comes with blessings and curses. Learn to take the win when you get them. Don’t be afraid to get help.

And honestly, giving a half a shit and not hardening your position is most of the battle.

Take care of yourself. They’ll be gone someday and you’ll be 20 years older and ready to have fun. You don’t get to have fun if you pop a hose in your brain because you treated yourself like shit for a couple of decades.

I’m just really glad I’m not fighting over them wiping their asses anymore.

Dude defender was great

That woman takes up a ton of cover tho

Lived long enough to see themselves become the villain.

Just the ability to be introspective and honest.

My brother is a plumber. The guy knows his shit. He’s been doing it a long time and he works hard as hell and he can talk you to death about piping a 40 story building. He also works for all his friends and family for free on the weekends. I act as his helper sometimes and his focus and attention to detail is amazing.

And he still has imposter syndrome sometimes.

He asked me how the fuck guys like Elon Musk can talk about stuff like they know what they’re talking about because it’s impossible to know everything about everything in a lifetime.

My brother, Elon is a dishonorable piece of shit that is too stupid to know he’s stupid.

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.
