This might be a weird criticism but... making photos taken in the dark look like they are not actually dark seems kind of like a weird thing to do? I've struggled with my micro 4/3 camera to capture accurate night photographs, but

Vancouver is most notably home to white supremacy/far right groups. Also, the very thought of commuting across the Columbia river is enough to drive me crazy.

Which is precisely why I do not shop at corporate mega stores that make it impossible for smaller businesses to compete using shady practices to lower prices. Once Amazon or Wal-Mart are the only company left, they will be free to raise the

I wonder who will be left to pay for the deficit when all is said and done?

I'm actually rather happy with the choices that I've made in this economy. I would be much worse off not making these choices - however, almost everything I want is unaffordable....things that I view to be human rights. Whatever y

I'm a systems engineer in Seattle. Thanks to my student loans I can't afford a house, I can't afford to have a child with my wife - thankfully my employer is kind enough to provide health insurance or else I'd probably b

I feel similarly, but if you look at where the DJI and NASDAQ are now compared to where they were in January the year starts to look a lot more bearish. I'm not very well educated in finance though And if anyone wants to correct me or

What better way to fight for states rights than to fight for the rights of the states that, you know, you govern?

That's part of the problem with sites like reddit and exactly what I'm getting at - is it healthy to have forums Where we can air our craziest ideas anonymously? Or maybe should we have to think critically and be kind before doing

Ironic that liberal states such as California and Washington fight the hardest for states rights and are then criticized by conservatives(even in their own states!) for doing so.

A bit off topic, but I lived in Kansas City for a couple years. I heard gunshots almost every night. There were shootings, stabbings on an almost monthly basis down in Westport. The library branch my wife worked at had a bullet go through t

Funny that you're being downvoted. These issues are very real in many parts of the country(other cities have drug problems, expensive housing, homelessness, traffic) and yet SF bears the brunt of these criticisms. Anyway - I agree - I

I did this a while ago and it really ain't bad at all. Unfortunately to the lay person to search the Internet is "to google."

I think this is super healthy and a really sensible approach - but it does seem unorthodox in today's internet. People see it as a right to say whatever they want to whomever they want, but really should we be able to do that without c

Olympia would be a good stop too. When Worked down there for the State there were people that commuted all the way from Renton and even Portland(Seriously). Not to mention I reckon there is a lot of traffic from Seattle <-> Olympia. N

I used to commute by car every day. Now I take the Sounder out of the city. It's incredible how much better it is even though it takes twice as long as driving would... But, people ain't smart and they love their cars. Here's

Right...I'm somewhat of a "militant" cyclist. I think it has the capacity to radically change how people get to and from work if we can shift people's perspectives regarding using them, and build protected bike lanes&#x2

I wouldn't be too concerned with what other people think. Be honest and move on. I read it, after all.

What if there were "battery stations" with charged swappable, standardized batteries? You could do your own charging at home or at work otherwise.

I'm not so sure how to fix that. It's definitely a problem that I have- here I am having this conversation with you after all.

I agree with the first part, but not the second. Also, I've found uninstalling any apps the you find even slightly addicting to help. You more than likely won't miss them. Once I realized I was only using snapchat and instagram to

I agree with one exception- Seattle. For all of Seattle's faults the drivers are very aware of pedestrians and very courteous towards them.

I have a casual theory that driving in the US relies upon every individual enforcing their own idea of what the rules should be, inherent to our culture. I really enjoy driving in Europe, but maybe it's delusional. There's an aggr

> Amazon? I click a few times, possibly put in some information, and I wait for my package. You can do the exact same thing at walmart.com - not that I advocate shopping with either company.
