Put up plans for a monorail and then I’ll be listening. This is just bull hockey.

A gondola will never, ever meet the traffic demands that the west Seattle light rail will handle out of the gate. These gondolas are “projected” to hold 10 people each. To match the light rails 80,000/day current ridership, there would need to be 8000 gondola trips/day.

This is a clutch of NIMBY business owners who are either up to be eminent domain’ed working with rich residents that want west Seattle to continue to seperate from Seattle proper.

Its absolutely wild that the neighborhood that was effectively “islanded” for over a year because of a bridge failing is actively fighting mass transit options into and out of the neighborhood.

Sinclair owned Komo news to boot.

If you’re downtown, it’s a good time to stay. If you’re not in downtown, it’s a good time to stay away.

Man, imagine thinking that protesting and civic discourse is something you shouldn’t be doing in a institute of higher learning.

Dude thinks college is about getting golden check marks instead of learning how to engage with and improve society.

Walgreens has them installed in 700 stores because a previous ceo signed a deal with a company that provided them.

The CEO of the company providing them? Was also a previous, different CEO of Walgreens. Sure looks like a buddy did another buddies startup a favor, likely for a kickback.

The current Walgreens CEO canceled them, and is being sued for it.

Its walgreens CEOs all the way down.

In the bartenders defense, it was fake.

Obligatory "Oglaf, so holy fuck not safe for work"

Just to emphasize your point, the guy in this article is the 2nd in command of the seattle police union.

The guy he’s talking to on the phone about how worthless this woman’s life is that a fellow officer just hit and killed? The head of the police union.

Seattle pd has been under a federal consent degree due to racial policing and unwarranted violence for over a decade for context. They also made the news recently for illegally hanging a trump 2020 flag in the same break room where they had trophies from george Floyd protests displayed. Of course no one was reprimanded.

Real good people.

But man, can you look at some fucking corn.

Which ironically increases the password strength.

As i understand it, we have 70mph trains now. This guy’s group is proposing we spend a 10s of billions straightening out current sharp curves so we can go up to 110mph rail. Then, we run those trains way more often than we currently do. So it would take 2.5hrs to Portland instead of the 3.5hrs now, but if ran every 2 hours it would be useful and cheaper than spending 100billion on a separated track bullet train that did portland in 1hr.

Personally, based on taking the current sea+pdx amway train and being sidelined for at least 30min total for freight leasing to a 4+ trip, I think we should do both. Start work on the bullet train and correct the current one. Then we can have a good and excellent option that connect the region, and long term, the bullet train can connect to California’s network to form a pacific line.

2032 is gonna be really rad when this game goes into early access on steam and i can pay $90 for it and get these 48k ships as a preorder bonus.

2041 when it hits 1.0 is going to be even more lit. I expect by then it will be used to control an actual spaceship, as otherwise there is no way the CEO can escape his fan base after bilking them for billions of dollars.

My bad. For some reason I thought this was more Sodo, near the stadiums.

Gotta love the overall “this is doomed” tone from the conservative Seattle times. Converting buildings is challenging, but this is prime waterfront real estate near the light rail/amtrak. There are likely hundreds of old office buildings that could be converted into thousands of apartments/condos if the will is there, which would help solve real issues in Seattle.

Its a silver bullet if we can get the conversion process streamlined or improved. More housing means more people downtown, which means more business and culture and improved tax revenue for city improvements while retaining all the traffic, climate and employement benefits of work from home. The downtown becomes a place for people, making seattle more walkable and liveable.

Success here is a win in like 9 directions.

Now now. Dont be mean to the deciliter. It just wants to be like its big brother the liter.

As soon as it meets up with 9 of it’s friends, I think it might have what it takes.

.284 deciliters.

Get it there.

Sweden has hourly trains that go through 1-2k population mountain villages that connect to all the major cities.

100% possible if the political will is there.

Obligatory fuck amazon, but this shit helped my heartburn a lot long term.
