  Should I set my rat free?

  0 0 Out of consideration for the other human beings in this city, please keep your filthy little rodent to yourself. I can't think of many things you could possibly do to your neighbors that would be worse than intentionally infesting their homes with disease-carrying critters. deadlyfingers answered in Whatever over 2 years ago Answer, comment & read 6 more answers »

  my steel frame bicycle is out of alignment. where is a good/recommended place to have it cold set?

  0 0 I had the same problem a couple of years ago. I bought a used bike, and think the previous owner must have had a mix-up with a truck or something... Anyhow, I took mine to 2020 Cycles (2020 E Union) and the dude there bent the frame back into shape in just a few minutes. Don't remember exactly what it cost me, maybe $40 or something. deadlyfingers answered in Cars, Bikes & Transit over 2 years ago Answer, comment & read 2 more answers »

  How does shifting into Neutral figure into this Toyota "unintended acceleration" mess?

  0 0 Also: notice how the cars are Japanese, and this is America. If the folks all around the world who've been driving the exact same cars for the last decade or whatever were reporting the same sorts of problems - perhaps, then, this would be a problem worth taking seriously enough to consider logical questions like, "how does one actually go about stopping an out-of-control car?" deadlyfingers answered in News & Politics over 2 years ago Answer, comment & read 3 more answers »

  Why are Seattle drivers such bullies to cyclists?

  1 0 I call shenanigans. I don't believe you're from New York at all. If you were a real East Coaster, you'd be complaining about how annoyingly passive Seattle drivers are that they will even stop their cars in the middle of the street to wave pedestrians across. deadlyfingers answered in Cars, Bikes & Transit over 2 years ago Answer, comment & read 8 more answers »

  0 0 If you don't feel comfortable leaving your stuff on the table for a minute, then you should probably find another place to frequent. There are plenty of safe, cozy & friendly coffee shops around town, so this shouldn't be much of a problem. In general, the fewer people there are in the cafe, the more aware everyone will be of who you are and whose stuff is on that table, so it'll be safe. If you're the only person with a laptop in a crowded shop with lots of foot traffic - well, how are you even getting any work done? deadlyfingers commented over 2 years ago

  where's the best used book store to sell books to in seattle these days now that elliott bay is no longer buying?

  0 0 Is this just a temporary condition for while they're moving, or will Elliott Bay on Cap Hill be completely out of the used book business? deadlyfingers answered in Books & Writing over 2 years ago Answer, comment & read 4 more answers »

  Why is Chutney's on 15th Ave on Capitol Hill always empty?

  0 0 I used to work just a few blocks away from there. Seems like whenever I walked by at around 7:45 AM or so, it was completely full with what looked like an AA meeting or a prayer group or something. You should check it out, it looked like a party. deadlyfingers answered in Food & Drink over 2 years ago Answer, comment & read 2 more answers »

  0 0 I'd recommend Chris Bacheldor to most anybody. He's got two novels - both hilarious in a horrified-by-the-state-of-reality kind of way. If you like the moralizing humor of Vonnegut & South Park, you should check him out. deadlyfingers commented over 2 years ago
