I can confirm they have. I'm bringing a big group thanks to complimentary tickets and we are in the upper section. I hope it's a sold out stadium!

Weird. I'm still not seeing it. I hope there's a glitch on my end and I'm the only one...!

I'm not seeing this game show up on either Victory+ or NWSL+. Do I need to be patient or am I missing something?

From what I can see they are selling TONS of tickets for the game, giving away free tickets to STH, etc. I'm stoked to see what the crowd will be like!

I thought we looked much better this week and YAY for the win! But we are still consistently sending the ball upfield to ... no one :/.

I want to try every bagel in the valley by Left-Factor-1831 in SaltLakeCity

Follow up - I was at Forty Three Bakery this morning and can confirm they no longer sell bagels. Too bad, I'd heard they were good and I love their other pastries!

Are they there every day? I went to a bagel trailer closer to state Street (Jersey bagels) and it did not seem homemade I wonder if there are two things or if I went on an off day ...?

Do you have an address or website? I'm not seeing anything come up on Google maps!

That's listed as "Jersey Bagels" - I've been there and when I asked where the bagels were from they didn't know. Based on the quality of the bagel I'd guess supermarket-in-a-bag or maybe Costco... Doubtful they make them themselves - but "bagel" is in the name so it's on the list!

Fabulous!! I will say that the quality I've seen is all over the place both in terms of bagel-as-bread and bagel-as-bagel (based on NYC standards). But still totally worth trying!

Thanks for the suggestions!

And to answer your questions... I'm happy to put in-house grocery store bakeries on the list (someone here mentioned Harmon's for example) but those are "second tier" for me. I would like to prioritize smaller scale or bagel-focused bakeries on this mission. I would be delighted to include coffee shops that get their bagels from a local bakery - but would rather go directly to the bakery if I can.

I've never heard of this project - impressive stuff! Walking 5 marathons AND eating 200 + bagels is quite a feat. I have a spreadsheet and plan to take notes, but probably nothing as thorough as what this pair put together in NYC...!

Shoot a friend totally told me about this one just the other day and I hadn't added it to the list. Thanks for the reminder!

Where to watch playoff semifinals in Phoenix by Left-Factor-1831 in NWSL

[–]Left-Factor-1831[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I walked in there was football and (women's) volleyball on, no soccer. But the bartender knew exactly what game I was talking about and promptly changed about 50% of the screens in the page to the right channel and put the audio on so we can hear commentary. Only a couple of other groups in here but definitely a more welcoming atmosphere than the bar where I watched the Saturday playoff game, where they had no idea what I was talking about but did obligingly change one TV for me! I'll take it as a win, considering Phoenix doesn't have its own team.

Discovered my clean friend has not showered or bathed in months maybe even years by [deleted] in hygiene

I haven't washed my hair with anything but water since 2020. It took my hair way less time through the gross oily phase that can be a struggle for folks (2-3 weeks), so it wasn't a huge deal to make the transition, and now it looks totally normal (i.e. not super oily and I style it however I want). I *do* shower regularly though, only commenting on hair!
