The totems is an awful name. I'd be fine with the sockeyes if the logo looked more like

That's just a Seattle Times poll. That probably won't be the final choice.

It's going to be the Totems because people love appearing to support native cultural heritage without actually having to do so

Shifty Nipples posted:gently caress infrastructure or social service improvements, what you really need is another sports team. The city has a profit-sharing deal with this team, and it's my understanding that no public money is being spent on this. Am I mistaken? I don't really give a poo poo about hockey, but if there's going to be pro sports, this seems to be a reasonable and responsible way to do it.

The KeyArena deal ranks as "least bad" when it comes to stadium deals: https://www.google.com/amp/s/deadspin.com/want-to-avoid-getting-screwed-on-arena-deals-look-to-s-1800657108/amp Like there's still gonna be some public money and some tax fuckery, but nowhere near what the city got hosed on with Safeco and Centurylink fields.

anthonypants posted:Safeco Field was getting $135m but there might be a referendum on that money instead https://www.king5.com/article/sports/mlb/mariners/petition-filed-to-put-safeco-field-public-funding-measure-on-ballot/281-598921607 That's great to hear, Safeco can get hosed as far as I'm concerned. The profit sharing is pretty insane in that league so it's nuts that they don't pay their own way. Frankly, large teams should be owned municipally anyway, given the amount of support they claim to need.

Comcast/Xfinity works just fine where I currently live. Both are bad, one just might be a little less bad based on location.

I live in Oregon so I don't have any idea and don't really care, but it looks bad to be like "how bout that new sports team" when there are more pressing issues to address.

https://www.burgerville.com/security/ posted:On August 22, 2018, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) notified Burgerville of a cybersecurity breach impacting a number of the company’s systems. The breach was perpetrated by Fin7 and was a sophisticated attack targeting companies with locations in the Pacific Northwest. Burgerville agreed to cooperate fully with the FBI investigation, and immediately began a forensic investigation of its own to determine the full extent of the breach.

punk rebel ecks posted:What's the best internet provider in Portland? Can't say it's "best" but I like the fixed point-to-point wireless providers like Stephouse or Freewire (bad name, since it's not free). Comcast is expensive and support is a crapshoot for residential. Centurylink DSL is terrible, and the support I've encountered is even worse than comcast, if you can believe it.
