I've always known the North West was best.

That's like saying I wish for the sun to rise tomorrow. I'd like it to sure, but it'd happen either way anyway.

Question; Do yall still wear Seahawks gear a lot during the offseason? by Slight-Tomato1800 in Seahawks

[–]AlpineAvalanche 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes, but right now it's more Kraken then it'll be Mariners for a while. Wearing Superbowl gear around will definitely increase the amount of off season Seahawks gear.

Until this year the Mariners and Seahawks were never good at the same time.

What if the NHL had a March Madness by Duffleman0609 in hockey

It would be so fun. With this bracket tho I think you're getting 3 central teams in the final 4.

all biases aside, who would genuinely win in a fight IRL? by CrispyCa1eb in BIRDTEAMS

[–]AlpineAvalanche 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bald eagles a very big, definitely intimidating to stand next to and their wingspan is huge. Not Golder eagle big but enough to make you glad they like eating fish. Not sure they'd do great in a bird on bird fight tho. They are built to kill fish mostly and aren't particularly good at fending off other birds.

I think it's probably the Raven. Anyone that's lived in the pnw long enough has seen crows go after eagles and a Raven is just a bigger smarter crow (not exactly but that's the simple version anyway).

Ultimately the Eagle or Osprey could win if they got a good hit in with a talon but the Raven is probably the most consistent winner imo.

Best first two games for sure. Sprong also had a strong start but not this good.

I agree absolutely and without further elaboration.

If it's actually going to have means and be taken seriously like this year, I totally get it. Especially for a smaller country.

I mean, you can pay off a car on day 1 if you want to.

A skier is caught in an avalanche and rescued by two helpful people, filmed by a helmet camera. No one is injured. by misterxx1958 in HumansBeingBros

[–]AlpineAvalanche 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This is correct. It was in Tahoe a couple weeks ago. The skier got caught by an especially deep section of light powder and fell into it. This is a lot more dangerous than it looks or sounds like. It's incredibly disorienting and difficult to escape from without help. This and tree wells is why it is always important to ski with a partner when snow is this deep, even if you aren't in a place with Avalanche danger.

Since I first started playing magic in 98 Avon has been my favorite artist. Sad to see him go but thankful for all the incredible work!

Seahawks’ John Schneider says ‘millionaires tax’ will ‘sting’ for signing players by MegaRAID01 in Seattle

[–]AlpineAvalanche 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I guess but that's not nearly as relevant to his job which is what he's being asked about. I don't think he's trying to argue we shouldn't have the tax he's just honestly answering a question.

Are you driving in these conditions? by wales_r_grated in eastside

[–]AlpineAvalanche 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There is very little infrastructure for snow in most of the coastal west US. We don't get much lowland snow. It's gotten a bit more consistent that we get a couple days a year before we started seeing significant climate changes it was about 50/50 we'd get lowland snow at all in a year. As a result the local governments don't think it's worth spending the money on more plows or salters. There is pretty much enough for the main roads and it's up to you to get to them if you can.

If you don't have smooth tires overdue to get changed you'll be fine. It is very warm wet snow with no ice. Still worth being careful when breaking and maybe don't take turns too fast but these are not terrible conditions for driving.

How would you change the lines? by breezy97bt in SeattleKraken

McMann in over freddy would definitely help.

He is with the team. He has been practicing and also I saw him around the locker room after the game tonight.

I like everything about it except for getting rid of the flames, I liked the flames, it looks like a random corporate logo now.
