Monsanto agrees to $160 million settlement with Seattle over pollution in the Duwamish River
  • The article says the city built a water processing plant to help remove stuff including PCBs from the river flow in 2014, before the suit started in 2016.

    It's not enough, but let's consider the $160 million as repaying the city for that initial capital expenditure.

  • It's tough everywhere I guess. Countryside is quiet, but there's no shoulder in some curvy spots, and some drivers didn't want to wait to pass.

  • sigh...
  • I ride almost everywhere, but that does sound quite risky. Plenty of spots like that in the US as well when you're in the countryside, unfortunately.

  • Shocking
  • The ones I met at my current job are both laid back, the journey(wo)man is a kind older church-going lady who likes pink work gloves while working on 3ph 480 lines, the apprentice is my age and speaks softly but has a lot of excellent tattoos and probably dirt bikes.

    So iunno. Other than being good and reliable electricians, they may be crazy in different ways, but I like em both.

  • Nice job, looks like fun.

    Q for you: what grease did you pick, as it's important.

  • Stuck between an XSR900 or a z900rs

    Anyone have input here?

    I'm trying to decide which I like, yammie noob had a cool vid comparing the two with the xsr seemingly on top, but spec-wise, the z900 should be wild. I'm aware there are tune and exhaust kits to wake the undertuned z900 up.

    I like spirited riding, but mostly on straights as I roar off to a campsite in the mountains. What do you folks think?

    Google Pay alternative?

    Hey there, I'm looking for an alternative to Google pay that'll allow me to use NFC payments etc. Thoughts?

    I don't have a Google account, nor am I interested in opening one.

    E: Just to clarify, the payment part would be convenient, more annoying is how I don't get to use a single place for my subway/gym/ticketmaster passes.

    Who kicks a sparkplug??

    What a way to start the day. Had a spare, so it added a few minutes to my morning. Carefully cleaned the dust from around the plug, swapped, started and rode.

    NBD, but what the fuck?

    Anyone ride in Seattle?

    How's the weather up there for riding? Not afraid of water, just careful with it.

    Prusa MK3s+, PETG and a 0.6 nozzle

    Hey everyone.

    I built an mk3s+ from its kit form successfully, tested a few PLA prints with the stock 0.4 nozzle.

    I've set prusaslicer to use a 0.6 nozzle now that I've upgraded, and am using PETG. Prints look pretty bad, in spite of calibrating z-offset etc.

    If you were doing something like this for the first time, what would your setup steps be like?

    To be specific, using a diamondback 0.6 nozzle, matterhackers PETG at 235c.

    Issues I'm seeing are a really bad loss of detail, lots of stringing, etc.

    eta: added a photo of a moderately post-processed part. Notice how rough the top surface looks, there's a disconnect between perimeter loops, etc.
