Just saw that they're letting him retire on Jan 31. So I guess he won't be there anymore but it's a bit of a let down. Probably indicative of others on the force.

It’s hella common. Political parties and candidates do it routinely. It’s how they decide how to market candidates to you. For example, if they see you only vote in presidential elections, they might not bother to market to you as heavily as someone who votes in every election. But if you vote in every election, you will get ALL THE FLYERS until you turn in your ballot. Yes, they track that, too. Flyers are pricey.

Do government employees build the roads?

Great argument. You got me.

Right! “Hey. You broke a federal law”. “Hacker”: oh. Whoops here you guys go. Sorry about that. I’ll just ask next time. Wanna go grab a coffee?

Right. On one hand it’s shocking, on the other, the ineptitude isn’t a surprise at all.

I know we can do better, it’s just takes that initiative, which I don’t have much faith in.

Are the roads in Washington State built by the state? Do state employees build the roads?

The problem being if you know the last four and their birthday and where they were born you can recreate their full ssn.

Gotcha! So as far as the Enchanted Valley is concerned, there's still snow on the ground at the chalet through March, but the grounds are open for use if you're into that sort of backpacking experience.

While this is a pretty shitty situation - I feel like you have to give out your last 4 to so many institutions, and there is no way to validate that any of them have decent security practices, so I generally assume that the 'last 4' might as well be treated as public info, already...

The power goes out here all the time… all over the place at the same time. Tens of thousands of people without power during windy or snowy days, and issues regularly resolved 24 hours. The northwest is fully capable of quickly repairing mass widespread power outages.

Really stupid plan if you have a brain.

Ok, but requests for voter registration info is sus, is it not? What’s their motivation and who has the time for that?

The roads in Judea were paved with the money collected by St. Matthew the tax collector.

Ah yeah, that’s kinda what I was thinking too. Any thoughts as to when it’d be safe trekking again, trail wise? Could we go in end March, for example? End April?

Oh that’s a good idea about calling, that hadn’t even occurred to me. Thanks!

Stunning!!

I know, I was looking to do forest/hiking though. I’m actually from the area, Olympia, just never hiked the actual trail mentioned in the OP.

Worked at dominos as a delivery driver. For some reason my manager sent my full name, address, social security number, and license number to someone I delivered to. I do not know why. He’s just dumb.

I did look online. It said May to October was the “best” time to go. My question was more like, could two experienced hikers with 3-season equipment go outside of that time period.

We don't need government
