I worked for a low income apartment complex that started doing AirBnB. It’s already a 2-3 year waiting list to get a rent controlled low income apartment but they were taking units off the market because they could make more money renting them by the night.

General Discharge is the name of my cover band. It’s mostly big brass covers of Sex Pistols songs.

Well dust is cheaper than pocket sand so…

So anyone have the original? For research purposes…

Well I certainly will be calling the big ladle “ULTIMATE” from now on, so thank you for that.

Soup everywhere.

I did maintenance for a low income building. They would have me upgrade specific units so they could Airbnb them while they denied low income applications to keep those units empty. Disabled people who needed housing were denied because it was more profitable to leave it empty and rent it out to tourists a few times a month.

We also didn’t do maintenance on specific units in order to get tenants to move out. There was a specific unit that was given to new tenants that would routinely flood. They used it to get rid of people that complained too much. If you only complained a little and cooperated with their bs, you could eventually move to a unit that stayed dry all year.

For your project you need an actual hammer drill. This might work to plow an anchor into some mortar between bricks but I would get the right tool.

Rent it or check to see if you have a local tool library.

But buy a new bit. Fresh bit makes a huge difference.

Here’s what makes me roll my eyes…

Most of the people making these comments won’t make a bit of effort in their own lives to make a difference for the planet and humans overall. Sure, recycling is still pretty messed up, but we can’t even get people to put trash in a bin. They certainly aren’t willing to consume less or put effort into creating less waste in the first place. And I’m willing to bet money that if they suddenly had a private plane and that kind of money they would be doing exactly the same thing.

It’s a ‘fuck you I got mine’ world, and most people are happily stepping on their neighbors hoping to get above the mass. I don’t know how to fix people, but if we can stop supporting the systems that are pushing us down that’d be a huge step in the right direction.

Not pro-life, but anti-choice.

You’ll notice this trend continues beyond the topic of women’s health.

Only entrapment if you have money. If you’re poor this is just referred to as ‘life’.

That’s easy! We only give ‘real americans’ food. There will be plenty. /s

When you’ve lost your ‘faith’ it doesn’t actually change who you are, remember that.

Also, it’s ok to admit that as humans, we don’t have all the answers. It doesn’t mean you need to believe a god of one kind or another is in charge. It just means we don’t see the full picture.

It’s SPD and WLCB, both like a good shakedown.

I ran a club for years and dealt with their bullshit often. Luckily I knew my local SPD so our checks were super easy. LCB didn’t like us though so when they decided to come by they would have a list of tickets to write up and if you didn’t know your RCWs front to back you’d have no choice but to accept the fines. (Much like police don’t know the laws they enforce, LCB agents don’t either.)

The shut down ones were usually Ladybug. They had different owner and different kind of staff. At cowgirl they had college coed and you paid a dollar or two more for your coffee and tipped well because they were super nice. The other place had skanky strippers on drugs, $20 coffee and you sometimes wondered if the coffee came with an STD.

Haven’t been to Seattle in years, I hear many didn’t survive.

Drive up coffee shops with barely clad baristas.

Unfortunately the guy who owns Ladybug (same concept) has purchased most of the bikini coffee shops. It’s now WAY over priced and the quality of service is WAY lower. You’re more likely to get skanky stripper flashing than college coed flirt. Also apparently that guy is an asshole on many levels according to the girls. Many of them are closed now.

And this is Seattle. If you want to ogle a bikini girl your choices are these shops or Alki during our annual one-week heat wave when you don’t need to wear multiple layers.

Traveling nurses?

I’m imagining little old ladies wandering from village to village but I’m certain there’s a more logical meaning?

Would make an excellent tattoo

I might still have that one in my box of old software.
