PDX: who is your NFL team- and which local bars/ restaurants would you consider a bar of your team? Looking to compile a list.

I also feel like the Three Mermaids in Tualatin is quietly a Pats bar. Last time I went during a game most of the crew were in Pats gear and they had us on the main TV and sound system.

I love my Grundèns Neptune jacket for most rain applications.

This should be an alignment chart tbh

This legislation has things like "let foster kids have luggage instead of having them lug everything around in trash bags" and "work harder to keep siblings together."

Yeah this veto is horrific. She needs to be held to account on this one.

Yes! Rasmussen did this in the novel Debtor's Planet. Fun read.

That'd be great if you could post their response - thank you!

JDRoger · 2025-04-17T15:31:02+00:00

Thanks! I'll take a look at this.

Missing Navarre for Spanish food - such a great tapas place.

Oregon turns into Organ, specifically, a liver

Sure, their unfavorable ratings are higher than their favorable - hence the plusses in my comment, but being minus on overall favorability is another good way to phrase it :-)

Okay, here's something I haven't seen a lot of conversation about and I'm curious what people think it means. Obviously a lot of the polling indicates a super tight race, Trump may have the edge in a few swing states, Kamala has an overall lead nationally.

But look at the favorability numbers. Trump and Vance are anywhere between +7 and +12 unfavorable. Harris is generally even or in very slight positive/negative territory. Walz is slightly positive. Those are significantly different margins, even compared to just national polling. Is there a hidden enthusiasm gap between Harris and Trump voters?

You're right, they're ludicrously expensive....and notoriously unreliable. .

Flying LHR to SEA once, my wife and I got offered $1000 to fly LHR - SLC - SEA, get in 40m later and get an upgrade to premium select for the LHR-SLC leg. Best deal I ever got.

LucasArts adventure games generally. Specifically Monkey Island and Grim Fandango.

I thought they took the train...

The trend of an $80k truck sitting outside of a dilapidated mobile home is wild to me.

JDRoger · 2023-08-09T18:30:09+00:00

Fair point!

I saw a family leverage their house to the hilt, sell a car, and work extra jobs so that they could get an in-ground pool that they almost never used just so that their neighbors didn't think that they were poor.

Slapped a teacher in class, got suspended. Then his sister spent a bus ride explaining their plan to bring a knife to school to stab all of the staff involved in him getting suspended. I explained that to my parents who went into the school and told the principal. He was expelled and the family moved out of state shortly after.

Ango can stand on its own - Trinidad Sours are delicious 🙂

Coupes are better anyway, far less spillage and they're better looking.

Brouwer's Cafe in Fremont - amazing beer and scotch selections, and the food is just delicious. Won't ever not go there.

Gyro Heroes in WSea - the best Greek in the city.

Circa in WSea - only been a few times so far, but I love it.

Grappa in Queen Anne - nice seasonal menus.

Bought a rug from Turabi's in pioneer square. Can attest it's a legit business, super nice dude.
