its 5 (6?) "open world" areas with fast travel points. one of the zones is rather linear. the movement tech you unlock speeds up traversal, and there's unlockable fast travel spots you can move between. great game, i...kind of beat it already unfortunately.

I miss the one off episodes that don't further the overall plot outside of some character development. Let the characters become cowboys or time travel to an important historic event just because you need a filler episode

I-5 is a monstrosity that cuts the city down the middle. There was a pretty big revolt over what's labeled 290 (the "rh thompson expressway") as it would have removed the arboretum and a chunk of the central district (a historically black neighborhood), everything else fell apart shortly after.

Seattle had this monstrosity (the legend is bad, I couldn't find a better map: 5/90 were built, 99 has existed forever and is mostly surface roads on the north half, 520 was built)

basically! the us government cannot copyright anything by statute post 1909-ish, it's all public domain (this is why sites like court listener can republish court documents you generally have to pay to get access to)

I've been watching the stream for a couple hours now, it's just republicans yelling about how this is going to impact everyone who doesn't make enough money to have to pay the tax. They're maybe 15% of the way through amendments.

Two things for @mayorofseattle.bsky.social and @alexis4seattle.bsky.social: 1. We need to know how and why this happened tomorrow, and have a proposed solution to prevent it. 2. We need to immediately spin up a Vision Zero Response Team with more funding than the 2026 graffiti abatement budget.

TLDR for all of this: amazon cannot run a grocery store. I assume Whole Foods is isolated enough they're continuing to exist out of past experience, but holy shit these stores closing does not surprise me in the slightest. Every single time i went in was a new horror.

Tom Powell @waffles.fun · 04/02/2026

It was pretty normal to go in on a random afternoon and for them to be out of anything not stocked by a third party. In this area they means they had some bread, soda, and chips. More than once they ran out of meat, dairy, and produce on an arbitrary weekday.

Tom Powell @waffles.fun · 04/02/2026

I haven't been able to have normal bakery things for years due to celiac, but before that happened every single thing they made fresh was an abomination. It's like someone played a game of telephone and they got the shape right but totally missed out on what pizza or donuts or bread tastes like.

Tom Powell @waffles.fun · 04/02/2026

Sometimes the hand baskets went missing. I'd need 3-4 more things than I could carry (but not enough to justify a cart). Once the manager asked me what i was looking for and they said "we got rid of them because it takes out cashiers too long to put them back". A whopping 4 feet.

The security guard once stopped me while I was walking inside and said i "looked suspicious" due to wearing all black, and he was "keeping an eye on me". I had blue jeans on and a pair of bright green shoes.

The normal carts would randomly disappear so you'd have to use their self checkout carts. These would yell at you if you scanned items individually. If you added 4 of the same item, it'd fail to charge you for more than one. If you could find an employee to fix it, they couldn't do anything.

Tom Powell @waffles.fun · 04/02/2026

I have some stories from this place. Once, they were unable to figure out how to sell me a bag of chips. Because the computer said they were out of stock. Except! I had them in front of me. The checkout just flat out refused to allow me to pay for the bag of chips, because they were out of stock.

I tend to pick a team based entirely on the color of their costumes and refuse to learn their names (or really anything about American football tbh). This could actually work If I didn't hate hosting things at my house so much, I'd invite a bunch of people over and ask them to bring cheese.

010

Tom Powell @waffles.fun · 31/01/2026

Almost every year I go to a Super Bowl party and gorge myself on cheese and pretend to have never heard of either team. I am just there for the cheese. This year Seattle is playing. I cannot pretend to have not heard of them. I think this means I have to buy my own cheese and skip the parties.

Sorry, assessed not taxed. As far as i can tell the values are pulled out of someone's rear end and not based in reality.

I really hope you get an answer. The land for my townhouse is taxed at $247/sqft; the sfh lot next door (that's also in an LR3 zone) is $170/sqft. The assessors office wouldn't give me a straight answer here, and just told me to appeal it if i disagree.

I've run into this! I can tell which side of the aisle a given candidate is depending on which address they sent shit to (for reasons my townhouse is either 123C or 123 apt 3, idk why usps has two entries).

There's a bunch of books I enjoyed in middle school. I can't tell you who wrote them, or what they were about, or what they looked like. I can tell you which shelf they were on in the middle school's library.

I've been following this since the start, I'm amazed at how far she's made it! I found a chocolate store (intrigue in pioneer square) on TikTok a few weeks before Christmas. I don't see this kind of thing on reels or shorts. I'm going to miss it.
