Election odds? You mean the betting markets where 4 users dumped 30 million dollars on Trump coincidentally when Elon Musk started campaigning for him Pennsylvania? The odds that had her leading by 5 points that those 30 mil shifted to losing by 15?

Or are you talking about the polling, which has been an absolute shiteshow for 10 years because no one picks up their phones for random numbers anymore?

Whatever works for you.

Personally, I have none of the above issues with Unlock origin. Its deeply tunable, so after adding a few lists past the default, it stops all the above.

The Seattle bike blog post goes into it, but basically the “no” voters are being disingenuous by calling the renewed levy both a “huge waste of money” and saying “it doesn’t do enough.”

Their primary complaint is that “the food is terrible, and the portions are too small.”

It can’t be both, so I don’t read it as earnest disagreement. If they want a bigger levy to do more, they can vote for this one, and push for another one next election season. Killing this one, and then pretending that after a small levy fails that somehow a much larger, “perfect” levy will be put up to vote later and pass? Not likely, and obviously so.

Nah, that’s just people pretending to care about safe bridges/roads/sidewalks/bike paths, but who actually just care about their pocket books. They want to use “perfect” to prevent “good,” in a very cynical way, and I don’t find that compelling.

Here’s a deep breakdown by the Seattle bike blog:

“With fewer financial resources available, SDOT will focus on capital project delivery for existing work and commitments made in the levy,” the budget overview notes. “Less will be spent on maintenance and preservation of assets (roads, bridges, transit, pedestrian and bike facilities), while innovations and system enhancements will be delayed to a future time when more resources are available. This slowing of maintenance and asset preservation work will affect transportation safety, mobility of goods and services, and climate and environmental goals.”

The expiring levy has provided $103 million per year, and the only way to craft a budget without that $103 million is to slash pretty much everything.

TL;DR:

Without the levy, the current miniscule budget for fixes/improvements will be cut in half. Every major policy promise will basically die, and the bare minimum will be way more bare.

Use uBlock origin instead. Cost is $0 forever, and it has the best adblocking by far.

You can augment that with an NextDNS account to do ad filtering at the DNS level. It is a pay service technically, but their free tier is very generous.

Amazon countered price tracking by introducing coupons that only apply at checkout. Some products only use coupons for discounting now.

Just be aware that these prices may not be the true lows.

Apparently a league of legends character.

There is also a nerf gun version out there.

Redhook made two amazing games, the second being a tremendous leap forward from the first.

It’s sad that that quality is likely over, but at least those will stand the test of time.

It’s* super good

It’s super good

Ublock will likely catch up, but you should also install sponsorblock. It uses user generated data, I.e someoen clicks “ad started and stopped here in the video” to skip not only YouTube ads, but ads done by youtuber directly, sponsorships/calls to action like buying merc, etc.

Its super good, and will work on tons of video. You can even help by being the one to click the “ad started/stop” time if you see an ad.

They only paid 4 million for hoppo games? That’s an amazingly small amount for the rights to a niche but popular franchise.

Here is a big list of 24 sex comedies, many of them made in the last 5 years. Many of them were very popular and well made.

You might have missed some of them because the intended audience was women, but based on your post I’m sure those “don’t count.”

Best not to eat any, but it’s still a matter of dose. Plum/peach seeds may be more a choking hazard than any other.

The real question. Apple seeds have naturally occurring cyanide, but you would have to eat something like 30 to 300 apples worth of seeds to maybe have a health issue.

It’s the dose that makes the poison.

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.

Franklin was a big fan of older women as well.

I think he would have a good time today.

Ha, I only called you out because I knew about windhaven already and wanted to share a good book.

I appreciate the goofin’
