In my experience, one's opinion of this centers on one's politics. Usually these things are discussed in the context of large cities in the western US controlled by democrats. This leads to many who are farther on the left claimi

Reminds me of the fortifications you still find all over coastal WA state which were built to defend the waterways during WWII from a feared Japanese invasion. I loved running around them as a kid. https://www.atlasobscura.com&#

Does anyone remember the name of the 1-bit, bitmapped art you could get in the Amiga terminal? I seemed to remember you would just cat a text file and graphics would appear.

Most of my accomplishments were things that I threw myself into without thinking and then figured out how to dig myself out. It's hard advice to give to someone else but it has worked for me.

Yes and no. It's interesting to see the debate going on in Seattle regarding crime right now. What I can say is that, while crime rates may not be scary compared to, say, the early 90s, what is different is that in the 90s you had to

On one level, sure, the problem is temporary and will sort itself out. But it's a very practical problem right now for people with EVs and can be a significant factor in reducing the desirability of EVs. I'll say that charging

As I understand it, the entire region is on a flat(well, tilted), planar fault because of the way the crust subducts. So you can have earthquakes anywhere in the western PNW from that. But remember, the bay area is also home to many, many f
