Hello Reddit, the following is a new weekly series on SC dedicated to showing off a region of wrestling, such as the PNW, New York, Mexico City, ect. This is the first post and meant to be a template.
Behold, a very quick little pocket guide to Canada’s PNW Scene, if their is any wrestlers or companies I miss(A chunk of the 321 Battle! Roster) I apologize, as The Singh Brothers put it, The PNW Scene is a bit of a black hole where buzz rarely gets past the area, but it is an area that deserves buzz, with great wrestlers and good companies, though a lack of recent shows making tapes doesn't make it easier. With Local Promotion Defy wrestling airing on the Nov.30th episode of Impact with Randy Myers vs Sami Callihan, it is a great time to check the pmw scene out.
Feel free to comment on anything to add and I will happily add it to the post, or just discuss your thoughts on the PNW.
If there is anyone who would like to contribute to this series, please dm /u/skeach101. A joshi guide is already up on Squared Circle Sirens that is incredibly thorough and well done

... keep reading on reddit ➡Does the WWE own any of Don Owen's tv catalog? I've been watching WCCW and in late 84 - early 85, Rip Oliver and Billy Jack Haynes show up who were 2 of the biggest names in the northwest. I think WCCW sent Brian Adias up there for awhile. I think also "Lance Von Erich" wrestled up there as Ricky Vaughn.
Hi Reddit! We're Yuan Jiang, Dave Heldebrant, and Casie Davidson from the U.S. Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, and we're here to talk about carbon capture. Under DOE's Carbon Capture Program, researchers are working to both advance today's carbon capture technologies and uncover ways to reduce cost and energy requirements. We're happy to discuss capture goals, challenges, and concepts. Technologies range from aqueous amines - the water-rich solvents that run through modern, commercially available capture units - to energy-efficient membranes that filter CO2 from flue gas emitted by power plants. Our newest solvent, EEMPA, can accomplish the task for as little as $47.10 per metric ton - bringing post-combustion capture within reach of 45Q tax incentives.
We'll be on at 11am pacific (2 PM ET, 16 UT), ask us anything!

Hello all! I'm looking for a new shelter to use in the Pacific Northwest, specifically the Northern Cascades, Olympic Peninsula, and possibly Vancouver Island. I know the Peninsula and Vancouver Island are particularly wet, so I'm concerned a single wall shelter will just have too much condensation or have trouble with groundwater and splashing. I may also be bushwhacking or getting in some relatively untraveled areas, so it would be preferable if it has a smaller footprint and some degree of durability.
So far I've mostly been looking at single wall DCF shelters with a bug bivy (like solomid + borah gear) or something like the HMG echo ii (which is so expensive and not really ultralight, but seems to be really weatherproof and I like the modularity in case I don't want to bring the beak or inner) or Yama Cirriform DW. Also, I've heard good things about the Durston X-Mid, but I don't really know anything about it. I'd be happy to take a look at it if it's a good option.
Anyone have any ideas? I'm open to pretty much anything as long as it has bug protection or can be used with a mesh bivy/inner of some type.
Edit: Thank you all for your input, there's a ton of good ideas in here! Reddit comes in clutch once again (:
Specifically the punk, grunge, and indie movements. Like the history of Sub-pop and K records (from maybe the mid 80's all the way to the early 2000's).
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto! Hey Reddit, happy National Robotics Week!
These days, robots are not just fodder for 1980s Styx songs. Nor are they always famously featured in TV shows or movies, like Rosie from The Jetsons.
At the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, robots are the workhorses that help our scientists advance energy storage and bioenergy research.
For example, robotic platforms are integral to helping us investigate and develop materials for energy storage applications to bolster modernization of the nation's grid. These robotic partners help our scientists do more experiments with significantly lower labor and material costs than if conducted manually. They also allow us to effectively test formulations - literally thousands of them - for the most optimal materials conditions.
In the bioenergy realm, robots housed in our High Throughput Center handle routine and repetitive tasks and empower our researchers to investigate materials while accelerating understanding and production of biofuels and bioproducts. With the robots' help, multiple experiments can run in parallel, helping us perform hundreds more experiments than with manual methods. One catalyst testing instrument can reduce four months of research to just two weeks. Additionally, one sample preparation robot can produce more than 200 formulations in a single day, something that would take a researcher a full week to do - not to mention keeping track of it all, often with greater accuracy and precision, while avoiding repetitive strain injury.
Our research in grid energy storage and bioenergy is typically supported by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Electricity and Bioenergy Technologies Office, respectively.
We "bot" you think all this robot talk is cool! We sure do.
Come ask us questions about our cool energy storage and bioenergy breakthroughs and how our robots are helping. We will be back at noon PDT (3 PM ET, 19 UT) to answer your questions!

I was just curious if anyone could recommend any good towns to start over in. I was traveling across the country in a conversion van headed that way but my van and everything was stolen. I'm currently trying to decide where to move to and get an apartment and a job. I'm looking for a very low to medium cost of living area?!! Thanks for any help!
Noticing a huge trend lately where flipped kitchens don't have upper cabinets, just open shelves.
While some may say it's for style purposes (and they do have a place in some kitchens for sure) I can't help but think it's a flipper looking to save the ~1-2k of not installing some shitty Lowe's uppers.
These open shelves are rarely completely useful; basically you need to be able to make any dishes/food/etc. presentable to be able to use them.
No surprise, but it looks like flippers are reaching a new low where you don't even get cabinets in some houses.
Thanks for coming to my ted talk.
I recently watched the mini series Sasquatch on Hulu, which I thought was decent, but they dropped the supernatural element pretty quick. I found that setting really interesting though. I was wondering if anyone knows of any horror and/or thriller books set in rural northern california, or the pacific northwest in general. Ideally something regional, where the setting is fairly significant.
Recs would be much appreciated!!
I’m going to sound completely insane so bare with me.
But I’ve been thinking about this a lot. Brace and Liz occasionally have mentioned bad feelings from the Pacific Northwest which is where I grew up. I’ve had many strange experiences in those forests, so have all my friends. We all agree that there is something in the woods around our town. Plenty of evil forces in those woods, it feels exactly like Twin Peaks. As if the black lodge is real and is having an affect on everyone’s lives.
Have I gone insane or has anyone else had supernatural experiences in certain places particularly the Pacific Northwest ? Is David Lynch tapped into something?
I 100% believe that mystical forces are at play in the world at that they are particularly strong in certain places on Earth. Twin Peaks captures my feelings the best for anyone that’s watched the show. Either I really need sleep or there’s something beyond just humanity at play in the world.
I hope you guys aren't sick of posts like this, because my ideal fallout setting would be the Pacific Northwest. I think the PNW would be an interesting setting because it's so different from the landscapes we're accustomed to in the Fallout series. Rather than a vast empty desert upon which nothing grows, the wasteland of this game would be verdant forest teeming with mutant life. This landscape is inhospitable to humans, and as such what people remain stay close to cities. Large population centers, genuine cites, make up the vast majority of human settlement. In this fallout there are cities, and then there is wasteland, there is almost no non-urban human dwelling. What few towns fight through their daily hardships in the dense forests have become insular and entrenched in their strange ways, hostile to outlanders and making pacts with forces deep in the forest.
*The Forest* is the dominant wasteland terrain in this game, acting as the open desert in earlier instalments. The trees and soil are all irradiated, so that even being in these forests gives the player some dose of radiation. Because of this few venture into the woods, and few know what tread upon the glowing moss. The only true city in this part of the map is Victoria. Once a thriving trade community, Victoria has gone silent. No one knows what has become of Victoria or her people, but the answers may be borne on the voices that carry through the trees. The most dangerous part of the game world, comparable to FO4's Glowing Sea, is the Olympic Peninsula. Already intensely rugged before the war, *the peninsula* is a hostile land of nuclear jungle and otherworldly forces. Among the high peaks, and in the deep glens, bizarre and terrible monsters tread, and to venture there is a fools errand.
While the west of the map is dominated by inhospitable wilderness, the east of the map is where the cities of game lay. A part of Fallout I've always loved is that the communities feel like places people actually live in. People go to bars, eat in restaurants, and generally do more than just survive. In the far south of the map we have Portland. Portland is the largest of the Oregon city states, many of whom have already joined the NCR. Portland's status as an independent entity is contentious, as many see joining the NCR to be the surest route to true security. North of Portland we have Cascadia, a lose confederation made up of the cities of Tacoma, Everett, and Seattle. This confederacy is loosely con
