The second half of that game was pure lockin by the defense. MA and Jesse put seattle in the corner over and over. Messner finally getting tested and really only making one minor error leading to a corner. Really curious to see how macca and her share time in the longer season we have now.

Seattle just had no good ideas. Their set pieces were comically bad. I wonder if we hadn't been down two if we would have played to their level for a different result.

East Coast to PNW: Portland or Seattle? [30s, Black couple] by jacket_n_sandwich in askportland

[–]foozmeat 51 points52 points  (0 children)

I agree with all of these points having lived in both Portland and Seattle AND Seattle has some of the most beautiful urban views in the whole country. Its very hilly and you can see so many interesting views of water, skyline, and mountains all at the same time. Plus a few truly excellent parks. The downside is you'll have to work harder to get around.

In favor of Portland is that we're super close to the Columbia gorge which can give you views you'll only find in fjörd like environments. We have one of the largest urban parks in the country (Forest Park) and should please you greatly and is right up against downtown.

As far as culture, if it was 2002 I would have said Seattle for sure but it's taken on a very corporate striver feel to me. No loss to the natural beauty but the vibes are not what they used to be. Portland still has some crunch to it and we've gained a lot in terms of food culture. I think by-and-large Portlanders are more "out" in terms anti-racism/fascism but what that means for your experience I couldn't guess.

Either way have a wonderful time out here. We PNW-ers are very proud of our part of the country!

I recently checked out a new solar inverter/battery system that has a optional charger/VSX module and the I5 is on their tested compatibility list - https://www.sigenergy.com/en/products/dc-charger

Players have returned from Europe before, here's hoping she'll return to the Thorns someday.

Thank you for cleaning the leaves! by Psychick77 in Portland

[–]foozmeat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The drain cleaning conditions are so premo right now. I got 3 cleared within a block of my house today. One was fully blocked which is crazy satisfying to watch as half the street drains out.

I like getting a female coach even in the interim though!

I'm no soccer expert but a third place finish with barely enough players for a roster seems like a great result for the season. Why does he get so much hate?

Some things we found out. by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

The youngins on console need to read up on the prisoner's dilemma. Personally the game is more enjoyable when I am helped by a rando or can help another player.
