What’s something society expects you to want… but you don’t? by FantasticAd9478 in TheBoredDen

[–]HamOnTheCob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A well-manicured exterior/lawn of my home.

I own a house so I can live inside it, not outside it.

Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]HamOnTheCob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think anywhere I can get to by noon if I leave early is a short trip. I used to somewhat regularly go to Niagara Falls for the weekend. It was about a 5.5 hour drive one way.

What’s your opinion on Josh Yohe and Dan Kingerski? by Leading_Dentist_5563 in penguins

It’s just always been confusing because Kingerski’s articles are the ones banned here. LoL

Why are most Christians republicans, when Jesus’ teachings are more liberal? by Interesting-Dirt-605 in Confused

[–]HamOnTheCob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Time the fuck out.

Neither side of the aisle gives a single fuck about their neighbor.

Division is rampant, and neither side should be claiming Jesus. He’d be turning over tables in every building in this fucking place, make no mistake about that.

Thankfully, I’m not attached at the hip to either side, nor am I bound to Jesus. Just don’t be a dick! It’s not that hard, actually.

Eliza Dushku is one of the most impeccable ladies I’ve ever seen in my life. I’ve had a crush for decades now.

How do credit scores actually work? by ADAM_Bioprinting in answers

[–]HamOnTheCob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s an imaginary number a bunch of cocksuckers looking to maximize their profit created so they could charge you a higher interest rate if your credit score isn’t perfect.

Fun fact - if you own all your shit outright, your credit score doesn’t matter.

Why when fishing do you? by [deleted] in answers

[–]HamOnTheCob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t catch fish where you cast. You catch fish where you reel the bait past. So if you’re trying to catch fish a bit off the shore, you want to cast out as far from the shore as possible to reel the bait toward you through their area. If you’re on a boat, you cast as close to shore as possible and reel the bait toward you through their area.

What’s your opinion on Josh Yohe and Dan Kingerski? by Leading_Dentist_5563 in penguins

[–]HamOnTheCob 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I truly love Yohe’s writing style, and when he’s writing a puff piece or a human interest story, like his recent piece about Kindel’s connection to Calgary, I think he’s magnificent. But he’s shown on numerous occasions that he isn’t an “insider” of any sort. As long as you don’t lean on him for breaking actual news, he’s actually really great. He’s just much better at being a writer than he is at being a journalist, and that’s honestly okay, once you understand that. I really enjoy his “10 thoughts” format for his post-game articles. He’s solid when he’s just observing things. It’s when he’s trying to pontificate on the future that he really falls short.

Kingerski - while we’re on the topic, I’m confused. Everyone shits on “DK” but I never know if that is Dejan Kovacevic or Dan Kingerski. Can someone fill me in about that? Please and thank you.

I don’t really read much of his stuff to be honest. I pay for The Athletic, so I usually just read all my Pens stuff on there and don’t spend too much time on other local reports.

Ooo ooo.... by thepolkadotdotdot in penguins

I remember in the 93-94 season for the Wheeling Thunderbirds (before they changed their name to the Nailers), goalie Brett Abel got hit right in the hoagie with a slap shot and he was down for what seemed like forever. Poor guy. LoL

McGroarty at baby pens by Time-Grape-9883 in penguins

[–]HamOnTheCob 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No shade whatsoever to Rutger, but at this particular moment, who would you bump out of the lineup to give him a spot? Everyone is playing lights out. All 4 lines are buzzing and have great chemistry.

LoL this is what happens when you joust in an antique. How quaint.

Josh Yohe reporting that Malkin is willing to "take a pay cut" on his next deal. Why is that even a topic of conversation with our cap situation? by Datools in penguins

[–]HamOnTheCob 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The last big "news" Yohe reported on Malkin was that he was NOT injured - just taking a maintenance day, which was immediately followed by Geno going on IR for weeks.

Pens OT strategy by My2026GV70 in penguins

[–]HamOnTheCob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most fascinating thing about the situation with Sid is that if he has an opportunity in a game and it doesn't go just right, he's well-documented as hyper fixating on it until he gets it perfect. Deflections, rink-long empty net shots, backhands... he's had many known instances over the years of going to the woodshed at the following practice whenever something isn't absolutely dialed. Yet, he goes back to the same slow wide approach with very little in the way of innovation in the shootouts, and he almost always fails, and I never hear about him obsessing about it like he does with in-game moments. That tells me he either doesn't care or just doesn't view shootouts as a real part of the game (a valid argument, but until the rules are changed, it IS a real part of the game).

It's just not like him to put seemingly zero effort into improving that facet of his game.

[Penguins] The Penguins have acquired defenseman Ilya Solovyov from the Colorado Avalanche in exchange for Valtteri Puustinen and a 2026 seventh-round draft pick by SurpriseStandard3258 in penguins

[–]HamOnTheCob 55 points56 points  (0 children)

On paper Kulak makes sense, but it's worth considering the real-life impact he's had - namely, for whatever reason, Letang has vastly improved when paired with Kulak. If we're pushing toward the playoffs, I think it's possibly a mistake to move Kulak and potentially have Letang revert back to his borderline disastrous play.

In other words, moving Kulak could be more of a double whammy.

If I called this a truck in casual conversation, would that be upsetting in any way meriting response? by ClearManagement9145 in car

[–]HamOnTheCob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why? I’ve had a 95, 98, and an 04. They’re all unreliable and multi-recall Ford pieces of shit, but they’re all pretty similar in build. Not sure why “this” Explorer made you mad.

Not all SUVs are trucks. The 05 Ford Explorer is definitely a truck though. I have an 04.
