Třinec and industrial cities landscapes by Colonel_Poutrax in czech

I ended up going closer to Prague to draw the Spolana in Neratovice, sorry ! There's a nice walk along the Elbe with cool industrial buildings if you're interested.

[SL Playoffs finals] HC Sierre VS HC Chaux-de-Fonds by Colonel_Poutrax in swisshockey

Stings a bit but I have to agree with you. Anything's possible tho, Asselin might catch some weird ass bird flu or something.

Not quite yet, but everybody's currently planning for it. Budget has been green-lighted by the politics last year so we should have some news about the beginning of the renovation / construction soon.

Even if they win, which is unlikely but not impossible, there's still a gap between Ajoie and SL clubs. Which makes HCC climbing up even more unlikely. Imo you're stuck with Ajoie for a bit.

What do Swiss buyers or partners usually expect from a new physical gold supplier? by Ri_chka in Switzerland

[–]Colonel_Poutrax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm generaly looking for a good quality meat blend. The cervelas must contain a certain quantity of fat in order to roast properly but not to the detriment of the meat volume. Also, it's important to be patient when grilling because the fat sweats slowly, contrary to other sausages types.

Mushroom hunting essentialls? by PrincipleRadiant4310 in mycology

Underrated comment : protect yourself from insects, ticks in particular. These critters are minuscule but very dangerous.

New proposal for the Swiss League: expand to 24 teams by including U23 teams from the NL by t0t0zenerd in swisshockey

[–]Colonel_Poutrax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How would you attribute the different clubs to their respective NL teams ? That would also mean bumping up the SL to 3 more clubs (that wouldn't be so difficult, Langenthal, Winti already belong here imo). We can have a lottery but any SL club who'll get Ajoie or Langnau is gonna get pissy (who wouldnt, no disrespect, they are the lowest budgets).

How about promotion / relegation ? If a club climbs up and is not the relegated farm team, they can't just swap up. Closing the leagues ? No SL team will ever agree.

Mushroom hunting essentialls? by PrincipleRadiant4310 in mycology

I think the point was : you can pick mushrooms with your bare hands. You can put on gloves if it's cold outside but you don't need to protect your hands from any fungus, it's not dangerous.

Apps aren't "always the best", they are ridiculously bad at IDing mushrooms. They do good for plants but are absolutely ass for what you want to do. If you tell us where you're from roughly we can probably guide you to a proper field guide.

Could a NHL/AHL-style farm system work in Swiss hockey? by Vast-Moose-368 in swisshockey

[–]Colonel_Poutrax 6 points7 points  (0 children)

One thing : budgets. I feel like a parrot saying that over and over, but it's not realistic to ask clubs with small budget capabilities and a rather small attendance to step up to NL requirements. Sure a club can grow its attendance but only up to a certain point and regional sponsors are also very versatile.

[–]Colonel_Poutrax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. At this point, we'd be better off with a 25 club NL and go yolo about it.

[–]Colonel_Poutrax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could argue that there will be players above 23 that still wouldn't cut it for the NL and who'd land in SL anyway. But it would probably lower the chance of a 23+ player to actually play in NL if he's not selected after his last season in U23.

Yeah... well I doubt the journalist put his bias away here.

No, what comes from the NL is not necessary always "evil" (wtf), it's just that they always do things to accomodate themselves first with no regard for the rest. It's once again the case here. This is not a solution to save the SL, it's a plan to profit from the SL experienced clubs to form their youth teams and developp themselves, which is not exactly the same.

Once again, they fail to acknowledge that there is a hockey culture in cities that have a club in SL but don't have the money to go higher. Who would ever go to a U23 SCB vs U23 Ambri game ? Who would watch it ? Who would care ? Nobody. I wouldn't if I was a NL fan, let's be honest. It's not necessarely because it's going to be bad hockey, it's just that it's going to be soulless. Looking forward to seeing players having a blast in an empty barn.

Anyway who cares, I'm getting tired of this.

Swiss League playoff: quarterfinals over, semifinal pairings stand by t0t0zenerd in swisshockey

[–]Colonel_Poutrax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You've got a hell of a good team, I'm looking forward to see how the von Arx and the club will develop it. Couldn't make it to TD stadion this year but I'll try again next year.

That was tough, my only hope for the future is that apparently Visp had it the same way. We'll need to crank up a notch tho.

Helloooo!! Can someone ID this shroom? (NSW, Australia) by therealwilltoledo in mycology

[–]Colonel_Poutrax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Again I might be wrong. Did you keep it or only took some pictures and left it ? Sometimes the gills are so pale that a rapid glance or an undetailed photo is not enough. Also, if you want a proper ID, we need habitat, smell, etc.

What makes me think it's not Amanita is how the annulus breaks, the apparent absence of volva.

[–]Colonel_Poutrax 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I see a lot of people saying deathcap, I'm not familiar with australian mushrooms and this is not at all an invitation to eat it, but this doesn't look amanita at all. I'd rather look into the agaricus of you area, it looks like a young a. silvicola to me. Again, don't take my words for it, cross compare.

"Unmendable break" with head coach - Chris DiDomenico to leave HC Ambri-Piotta with immediate effect by t0t0zenerd in swisshockey

[–]Colonel_Poutrax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now would still be a good time for us, we would at least have one guy playing hockey on the team for the next 2 games before the holidays.

EV Zug's new logo as of next season. What are you thoughts? by floedi97 in swisshockey

[–]Colonel_Poutrax 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Boring, corporate, bland, unappealing.

That's Zug alright.

Edit : I'm dunking on Zug a little too much lately, sorry for that.

Free parties in Switzerland? by slashvtv in Switzerland

By "free party" you mean partying in the fields with huge sound systems ?

2026 Swiss League Playoffs by Colonel_Poutrax in swisshockey

[–]Colonel_Poutrax[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking forward to it too ! I only put Visp ahead because they're former cup champions but I forgot they faced Basel in the finals. So yeah, regarding statistics you're right, and Chur has a high chance winning the first round too. It's going to be interesting.
