    Ok serious version of that - do current type-certified ATP's make themselves known? E.g. If you're taking a vacation trip? Obviously for commuting trips you're known anyway.

    Forecasting for COVID-19 has failed

    I have family who live in Dallas in a household with 3 positives. Initially one person in the household tested positive. Then the next person turned symptomatic, then tested positive, then the next person symptomatic, then tested positive. You'd think once the first test came back positive, the...

    Talk to me about Seattle....

    I also personally choose to live close to work and don't commute from Seattle. However, a lot of people that do that have the notion that: Well, instead of commuting 5 times a week, I'll stay in the outskirts and then just drive into Seattle twice a week when I want to 'hang out'. So best of...

    Talk to me about Seattle....

    We do have lots of (most?) summers that have 30 day+ dry spells. And then it’s absolutely gorgeous - probably the most pleasant summers in the US. Unfortunately 2 of the last 3 years those were accompanied by wildfires and weeks of smog.

    Talk to me about Seattle....

    No, Ron Wanttaja is right - it’s to protect against pepper spray (specifically OC projectiles) and flash-bangs. Here you can see it in action. The young women (Aubreanna Inda) who got hit didn’t have an umbrella. Her heart stopped, but I believe the medics were able to revive her.

    Talk to me about Seattle....

    Oh, I'm going to tomorrow, but let's just say I'm not impartial. So I would also like to learn how the other side is experiencing it, rather than just the Media & Talking head reports from 3000 miles away. When is 'back in the day'? Capitol Hill rents dropped through the floor in the early 70's...

    Talk to me about Seattle....

    Is that still true even since the police left two nights ago? I know residents (both protesting, and non-protesting) were complaining a lot last week when they heard flash-bangs at all hours of the night and had teargas entering their apartments. The words: "war zone" did come up. For the last...

    Talk to me about Seattle....

    Stay far away from main street media on this one. I have good friends in that area, and nothing in the press on either side is anywhere close to accurate of what's actually going on. The "siege" is basically a combination of a block party, street parade and farmers market with people freely...

    Please! Make it stop! (Stock market crash)

    Finally, I can now stop feeling like an idiot for having converted almost my entire portfolio to cash last week.

    [NA]What happened to Tiles?

    100 times better. I used to have Whistles for a couple of years and switched over to Fi last year. Fi actually works. It was common that Whistle wouldn’t register that a dog left the safe zone for up to 6 hours later. Fi is immediate. Also much more accurate with tracking. Battery also lasts...

    [NA]What happened to Tiles?

    I’ve had Tiles and renewed it 3 times. They don’t have a good implementation and I eventually gave up. 1) Battery life sucks - far less than the year they promise 2) The tiles tend to randomly unpair themselves from the account 3) Account sharing between e.g. husband and wife is horrible. E.g...
