How is your first summer in Seattle going? ;)

The full list for those of us that don’t live in Seattle proper:

Yep. I visited London for the first time last summer. They have protected pedestrian crossings everywhere and it’s really nice. A very walkable city.

I’d be curious what the rationale is for publishers charging libraries more for digital copies than they do for print.

Pretty much exactly my thoughts. It doesn’t make sense for protestors to demand Seattle fund housing in a different city. But this quote:

“It is not appropriate” for protesters to be disruptive, Moore, a former King County Superior Court judge, continued. “We need to make sure that this does not happen going forward. We are shutting down the operations of a democracy because of a mob action. It is not to be tolerated.”

That just seems intentionally obtuse. The entire point of a protest is to be disruptive so that someone pays attention to their demands. In this case they just seem a little mis-directed. So let them speak then say “I appreciate your concerns, but you’re talking to the wrong people. Here’s what you should do instead…”

Arguably, there is a debate among the general public. There is no debate among those with expertise in the relevant medical and psychiatric fields, and there hasn’t been for about 50 years.

I certainly try to understand how the 4th amendment works. Sadly I think most people stopped paying attention after 2.

Ten people were put into jail, mostly on outstanding felony warrants for offenses that included rape, domestic violence and assault, Diaz said. Two of the 10 were jailed on new offenses, including possession of drugs with intent to deliver and possession of a stolen firearm, the chief said. Police “might not have come into contact” with the suspects if not for the new drug law, he said.

So… 8 out of 10 of the people arrested were not arrested for drug charges, but for existing felony warrants. If they were only contacted because of the new law, shouldn’t there have been clear evidence that they were also using or possessing illegal drugs? Or are they just admitting that they openly accosted everyone in the area regardless of reasonable suspicion?

Right? Unfortunately this sort of crap happens to female reporters all the time and they don’t usually feel like they can stop reporting to deal with what is essentially an assault. Good job anchor person for calling it out and reassuring her that she had nothing to apologize for.

Sorry to hear that. Be assured there are places you can go where you will feel more welcome.

I had a 2nd Gen moto x. It had proximity sensors around the screen that allowed you to make gestures over the phone to do things like check notifications, pause music, dismiss calls, etc. They also offered a lot more customization options than any other phone I know of. Mine had a leather back, which was available in a few colors. They also had several options for wood backs. It was a really nice phone and I was sad when it died.

Olympia area is still very affordable.

There are so many… Here are some that I probably spent the most time with:

• Master of Orion
• XCom (the original)
• unreal tournament
• Elder Scrolls Daggerfall
• Falcon 3.0
• Mechwarrior 2

I use Google assistant in my car all the time. It came with android auto built into the head unit. So I can tell it to navigate to a location, play a specific song on Spotify, call my wife, read and respond to text messages… All using voice commands. I don’t have enough smart home devices to make it worth having an assistant constantly listening at home, though.

Didn’t know about winget. But I’ve been using Chocolatey for years.

Horizon: Zero Dawn was pretty good in this respect.
