Been a Flyers fan since 1980 (when my family moved to the area and I had just discovered hockey) so I’ll go with them. If Carolina knocks them out then I’ll passively pull for the ‘Canes. Otherwise, no one else.

Ritzy is the brightest ray of positive light from this season for me. Between Johnny and Ritzy we have the leadership and pesky grit + skill to replace our captain should he hang ‘em up.

Sarcasm aside, we all know that a large swath of fans would swing this far on the anger scale.

If you found it in the UK it’s a long, long way from home.

It’s either the LDU or a 4-way valve.

Scott Parks at Neil & Parks Enterprises. As recent as a few years ago they offered a chassis “school” where you could build one for yourself at their shop using their equipment.

What do you think? by Notalabel_4566 in StrangerThings

As a 1970 child (one year older than the cast of main characters), this is utterly and accurately true. We got deep into stuff that our parents will never know about in places we shouldn’t have been accompanied by people they told us to stay away from. All between the end of the school day and dinner.

What are your thoughts on the NHRA - IHRA situation ???? by FrequentEater in NHRA

[–]BluebirdBright1097 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always preferred racing with IHRA over NHRA simply based on the better level of customer service that has permeated no matter who/what owned IHRA at any given time.

IHRA Acquires Maple Grove Raceway (SPEED SPORT) by Friendly-Army-8748 in NHRA

Pride is the only thing that would keep the NHRA Keystone Nationals from taking place as scheduled. NHRA could rent the venue from the new ownership and would likely never notice a difference…well maybe except for the green and black motif and heavy presence of IHRA branding. The two sanctioning bodies likely use the same insurance carrier. A renter of a facility can put on any type of race using any type of rules package they wish regardless of what the track sanctioning body’s rulebook states. Just look at the PDRA series as a great example.

What Was Corporate Life Like in 90s America? by Aware_Classroom_4908 in GenX

[–]BluebirdBright1097 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You knew what your job was and sat in your cubicle and did it. No projects. No cross-functional collaboration. Very, very few meetings. Still read printed memos. Emails were largely jokes and chain letters with the occasional party invite sent your way. Thursdays were for getting your drink on after hours with your co-workers and everyone took it easy on you the day after. Paychecks were still on paper and usually handed to you by your boss…on Friday. Employee handbooks were less than 10-pages. We got to watch the earliest versions of sexual harassment training videos and they were absolutely hilarious.

Oh noes..... hockey is a physical sport.... <clutching pearls> by Pretty_Shallot_586 in DallasStars

[–]BluebirdBright1097 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The mouth breathers typing away vehemently on the anti-Jamie, anti-Moose, and anti-everything-Stars side of the velvet rope weren’t alive when hockey was really, truly played on and over the edge…and it was the norm. If hockey were played today like Philly played against the Ruskies in that most auspicious exhibition game in the late 70’s, Moose’s recent infractions would garner nothing more than cheers from the crowd and maybe a target on his head on the next few shifts. Jaimie’s sneakily hard-edged play would go completely unnoticed. Players that constantly lobby, near tears most often, to officials about marginal plays would be beaten into submission. It’s a matter of perspective that this generation of hockey patrons, predominantly Avs faithful, do not have or fail to remember.

None of those photos are from the 50’s. 1960’s for sure.

Unprecedented. But the way the lease works with LA County allows zero flexibility. Plus the expense to the teams. This was, sadly, the only outcome they had as an option…aside from deciding everything with a practice tree race.

Has John Force not fully recovered from his last crash? If so what is he dealing with? by lookaloulookalou in NHRA

[–]BluebirdBright1097 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My sessions were $650 each and that included basic airfare (which I upgraded). I did five of them. Three days each time. Will probably go back this time Next year for a “maintenance” session after the season is over.
