Roundabouts have to have splitters and other features that traffic calming circles lack. Also, technically you can go whichever way you want around a traffic calming circle: counterclockwise is recommended, but many trucks physically cannot navigate them that way. And there are zero traffic laws distinguishing a traffic calming circle from an uncontrolled intersection.

He's the currently serving incumbent. When he gives me an email address, it's not as if I'm going to be contacting him inquiring about the details of his campaign. It's more likely I'm going to contact him about why the police are dragging their heels to assign more patrols around Ballard high School where more than five students have been mugged, some at gunpoint, in recent weeks.

This is why city council member Dan Strauss, when going door to door campaigning, gives out his personal Gmail address rather than his city of Seattle address.

Is this legal? It sure doesn't seem ethical

I guess they are not familiar with the reprap philosophy or self-sourced 3d printers like the Voron.

Perot Systems (later became EDS) was famous for this in the 80s with their college hires.

Lawyers, tax advisors, sales & marketing...all are "necessary" evils that would never exist in a perfect world. We should be looking for methods of limiting and discouraging the "need" for these professions wherever possible.

They go hand in hand. Having the ability to provide a team to execute on the plan the management consultants sell is a powerful business model.

Lots of Fortune 500 to 1000 companies lack the ability to recruit the best and brightest. And mostly they don't really need them. But when they do, consultants offer a ready made solution to get a project done.

The term "creative" has always bothered me as it seems to usually be applied to roles that don't actually create anything other than pretty pictures/designs/words. I guess it makes sense from the aspect of "creativity" but it seems like those who glom onto the appellation of "creative" almost always rely on someone else to do the heavy lifting of building (the actual creation of a product) and bringing anything to market.

Yes that's it

Which Victron app? My install of Victron Connect doesn't seem to do this.

I still remember having my mind blown at a Pirates of Puget Sound party in the 80s where there were banks of 1541 drives connected in pairs happily copying disks with no C64 connected to the drives. Just insert two disks and it would copy from A to B. That was when I realized the 1541 drives weren't just drives, they were computers themselves.

Can the museum turn around and sell it at a profit?

That's impressive! Mine was over $100. The SCD40 in module format is $45.

A similar project can be done without soldering using parts from Adafruit, including a module for the Sensiron chip. Here is a project I made using Adafruit's e-ink module and the SCD41 module they sell: https://www.printables.com/model/121265-salud-co2-monitor

Who is this surprising? 50 year olds grew up on Asteroids, Donkey Kong, and Zork.

It is 4x the density of the Victron LiFePO4 batteries I have on my sailboat.

De La Rue also printed (maybe they still do?) the Microsoft COAs (certificate of authenticity stickers) which have many of the same security features as currency.

If you don't have any crack houses handy, Requiem for a Dream is also pretty effective.

is there anything preventing a continuous "rinse and repeat" cycle of creating Mormon dating sites for purchase and shutdown by the church?

Sounds like the conclusion of Candide. When confronted by the misery of Pangloss' best of all possible worlds, we must cultivate our garden.

> Nowadays college is a baseline consumer good that "almost everyone" is expected to consume

I think this depends quite a bit on your socioeconomic class. Overall in the US, only about 1/3 finish a college degree

Slack is prohibitively expensive if you need more than 90 days of history, and Discord isn't very open or great for search.

The costs seem inflated. There are no monthly charges for operating an AIS transponder, which costs about $1000 and is simple to install.

The Coast Guard collects all AIS track data, and publishes it on a 6 month delay via the NOAA Marine Cadastre program.

Maybe the requirement was for some other technology rather than AIS.

Also was a key plot device in Luther season 5

The one and only reason I've had an Apple Developer account is to accept Apple Pay payments through Stripe for my small business' web site that has existed since 2008, and I can't get them to accept my perfectly good credit card for the $100 annual fee for that privilege. This time around I just threw in the towel.

A Sense of the World by Jason Roberts is a book about the man who invented the use of the cane as a device for the blind to use for echolocation. The book doesn't really focus much on that detail, but it's an incredible story of his life and the many adventures he had despite being blind.

You are correct. But Seattle's history with desegregation bussing had a major impact on the nature of the schools in Seattle today. It was very common for students to spend a total of 90 minutes each day being bussed across town rather than walking 15 minutes to their closest school. It gave birth to a thriving ecosystem of private schools that still dominates the social fabric of the city today. Over 25% of all students in Seattle are in private schools, with that figure being much higher in the wealthier North Seattle neighborhoods.

Seattle proper has no proper/modern roundabouts.

It has hundreds of traffic calming circles which are often confused with roundabouts, but are not in the same class. Roundabouts have dividers at each entry/exit point which are lacking in neighborhood traffic calming circles.

Technically you can go any way around a traffic calming circle you want to, because they are too small to accommodate delivery trucks going counterclockwise. It is highly recommended to go counterclockwise if you can, but not legally required. They have no more legal significance than a speed bump.

My brother in law has a successful Etsy shop where he mostly sells "charcuterie boards" he makes in his home workshop as a side gig from his job as a VP of a civil engineering firm. There isn't much to them: no joinery, just a slab with a live edge. He just fills any voids or defects with epoxy, puts it through his surface sander, and applies a nice clear durable finish. Every piece is unique. He does seek out spalted and other interesting grain features to highlight. It helps that almost all of his wood is locally salvaged at almost zero expense other than his time. He loves to hunt down recently fallen trees to make a deal with the property owner to take the wood off their hands.

He gets a lot of repeat business from people like realtors who use his boards as housewarming gifts for their clients.
