How exactly would this fuck up our state? It actually sounds like a pretty beneficial program, and it pushes the cost of recycling back on distributors instead of the current system in Washington where we, the consumers, have to pay for the cost of recycling handling fees and pickups. https://obrc.com/oregons-bottle-bill/whats-special-about-the-oregon-model/

Or when it's a lifted truck, if their headlights aren't adjusted (which they never are) then they are pointing directly at the cars in front of them.

It would depend on your income. I'm putting about that much down on a home I'm currently in the process of buying in Western Washington, and I can afford it.

No, it was multiple routes. https://www.king5.com/article/travel/washington-state-ferries-reduced-schedules-staff-shortages/281-f58fd9f1-d657-48b8-81af-351e6ae797bf

I thought I remembered Bainbridge being affected as well. They had crazy long wait times, at least, but yeah, Kingston/Edmonds was the route I usually took. I'm glad to hear it's back to 2 boats.

I haven't taken the ferry in about 6 months. Has the situation gotten any better? The last time I rode, they still didn't have all the ferries and routes back at full service.

Good to hear they caught them.

This was the plot of the Brooklyn Nine-Nine episode Lights Out

I've traveled quite a bit and lived in multiple different parts of the world. Yet, I enjoy the weather in Western Washington more than anywhere else I've been. It's fairly mild, rarely gets too hot, or too cold. We have plenty of rain to keep things green, but our summers are absolutely beautiful. We get enough snow to make things interesting every once in a while, but not so much that we have to deal with it all winter. The black months can be a challenge, but I find that I am much less likely to take nice weather for granted living in a place like Seattle, as opposed to Hawaii or LA. I just appreciate the sun so much more here, and I really enjoy the balance of the seasons we have.

Oh, and to answer your question, supply and demand. Our region has grown rapidly over the past 20 years, with rapid job growth in a lot of high paying sectors. New home construction has not been able to keep pace.

10-A masterpiece. One of the greatest films I've ever seen

9-excellent

8-great

7-good

6-ok

5-not bad, but not good either (mostly forgettable)

4-not very good, definitely would not recommend

3-bad, just bad

2-terrible in almost every way

1-one of the worst movies I've ever seen. A complete waste of my time.

In terms of linguistic classification, when do two different dialects of the same language diverge into two entirely different languages?

9am-5pm

I don't disagree, and yeah, I love a lot of the stuff the satanic temple does, I'm just saying specifically I don't like the freedom from religion commercials. Like I said, they seem to do good work, it's just their marketing that rubs me the wrong way.

Vancouver WA. I've seen the commercials played in the Seattle area as well, though.

I'm a nontheist myself, but I'm not a huge fan of the freedom from religion commercials. That guy just comes off as pretentious. Sure, I don't want religious zealots telling me what to do, but I don't want atheists telling me not to be religious. It sounds like they do some good work, but maybe they just need some better advertising.

How is that any different than if you filled up your tank in Washington and then drove in Oregon? As for the GPS, almost everyone already has GPS on their phone, I could care less if they put one in my car too.

And how will those who don't fill up (EVs) pay taxes?

>I think it’s unfair to say that the EV charge is unfair because it doesn’t align with your consumption.

That is not why I am saying is unfair. As the article indicates, even gas-powered vehicles are becoming more fuel efficient. So, if you combine that with the fact there are more EVs on the road, that means there is less tax dollars coming in to fund the roads. So, my point was if I owned an EV and was driving an equal amount of mileage, I would be paying far less in taxes. Which becomes a problem for our state as a whole if we want to continue funding our roads.

A midsized SUV, why?

$150 for EVs. I pay over $400 a year in gas tax, that is not an equal share.

Makes sense, more and more EVs are on the roads nowadays, without that gas tax money, there needs to be some way to pay for those roads.

Yeah, I can understand that, it definitely could be isolating for teens that have no one like themselves to talk to, especially living in bigoted communities as you pointed out.

It would not be a law I would support, even though I do think their are a lot of negative effects of social media, especially for teens. I'm not sure what the answer is, but this bill does seem to go too far, and thank you for pointing out some of the possible motivations behind it.

I haven't read much into the story myself, besides this article, I was just pointing out why some may seeing it as uplifting news.

How specifically does it target trans kids though?

There are serious mental health risks with teenagers using social media https://www.newportacademy.com/resources/well-being/effect-of-social-media-on-teenagers/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=NA_leads_performancemax&utm_term=&kpid=go_cmp-17884784088_adg-_ad-__dev-m_ext-_prd-&gclid=Cj0KCQiA1sucBhDgARIsAFoytUsFE62RMG8LgE2ODEm88lMOQLcccJmXv1tfSwCbYUgjH90SosH41KMaAmZzEALw_wcB

I assumed they meant 40k, but I DEFINITELY wouldn't be taking a job for $40 a year haha.
