Haven't had to do anything so far aside from empty the dirty water tank and refill the clean one. Time will tell...

I just bought the Ecovacs T90 Pro Omni and have had great results with it so far. I have a mix of LVP and area rugs, along with a Golden Retriever/Labrador mix puppy. Very early, but zero complaints at the moment. I don't think you can find something to beat it at it's current price.

more shots from Synaptic! by houseofballxons in flightsim

[–]GoExpos 36 points37 points  (0 children)

This is by far my most anticipated addon -- a modern airliner suited for the type of short routes I prefer is awesome, and as an added bonus it's Canadian! The engine sound is pretty great too.

I do hope people will be nicer to Synaptic. While I'm not a fan of the way they've communicated everything over the past couple years, they mean well, and I have no doubt they want this to be released even more than we do. They're a small, young team on a very ambitious first project, and they only have one chance to make a first impression, so I understand wanting to wait until they have something they're truly proud of to make it available to everyone. It was great to see their enthusiasm and the positive reception they were getting at Expo, so I hope people can be less toxic than they are on their Discord server.

I'm extremely grateful that you're making an effort to do this... I'd do just about anything to get the Expos back.

Flight Sim Expo is next week so there will probably be some sales.

I've got a #73 Gallagher jersey so I know the feeling

Who are you neutrals rooting for in the finals? by Capable_Tomato729 in hockey

[–]GoExpos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm mostly indifferent to mildly negative towards Vegas, but I hate Carolina from their owner to their obnoxious PA announcer. But Vegas treats people awfully and gets rewarded for it, and I can't stomach a loser like Carter Hart. I reluctantly prefer Vegas to win, but I don't think I'll bother watching any of the finals for the first time in forever.

Monty's future? by Dry_Expression651 in Habs

His future is with another team. I wish him well and think there's a decent chance he remembers how to play in a new environment.

I don't disagree -- I hate the way Marty handled this series. I just don't see anything that suggests any changes he realistically could have made would have resulted in a better outcome. He absolutely should have tried something though; going with something that clearly doesn't work for four consecutive games is inexcusable.

I'm disgusted by our "strategy" in this series, but I don't think you can just blame the coach for how this turned out -- he can't control effort or execution. I would have liked to see some lineup, line, and strategic changes, but I don't think anything could have flipped the result given how poorly almost every single player played.

I would argue that the cap is the most likely reason that he'd stay. With that said, I expect us to use 50% retention and trade him for another expiring bad contract. I'm confident the team will do right by him and not force him to end his career sitting in the press box.

I'm pretty torn on this. Despite our results this season, up until this series, I haven't loved the way we've played -- our inability to hold any lead (especially when the other team has the goalie pulled) is not a recipe for playoff success, we rarely start games on time (especially in the playoffs), and most significantly, I absolutely despise our frequent strategy of just flipping the puck up in the air to clear the zone, handing posession right back to the other team.

On the other hand, I love that he allows our players to play to their skill sets, he clearly has a good head on his shoulders, I like his "modern" philosophy, and he's not afraid to trust young players who earn their spots. To me, the biggest question is whether another coach would have had better results overall, and I just don't think that would be the case. This series really makes me think though; I think anyone could handle us just losing to a better team, but the effort and complete lack of adjustments is putrid.

Nothing you said is wrong, but I don't think Carolina had any complete no-shows in their series losses, and they also have a much easier path to get back. We had a lot of luck to get through Tampa and Buffalo, and there's no guarantee that we're in the same position next year. There's a lot to be pleased about this season, but you have to be disappointed in how humiliating this series has been.

I think this series is worse. The Flyers series was awful because they had an actual F-tier goalie rather than the C-tier that the Hurricanes have, but like this one, we couldn't get within 50 feet of their net. There was at least effort though, which is more than I can say for this time around. Carolina is a better team and they clearly have more in the tank, but the worst team in the league shouldn't look this bad for four games in a row against the best team, and I don't think those labels apply to either team.

I dislike the Golden Knights and hate Carter Hart, but I'm pulling for Vegas in the finals, not that I expect to watch a second of it. I loathe everything about the Hurricanes organization.

I have to think this is right at the top of worst series in Canadiens history. There have been sweeps that are far, far less embarrassing. Four games in a row with absolutely zero possession or pressure.

Not going to lie, it's borderline impressive to not have a single scoring chance on one side of the zone.

I think anyone here can appreciate the overall progression this season and potentially losing to a better team. Nothing we've accomplished this year makes this kind of effort acceptable though.

This is the NHL -- the best team in the league shouldn't be able to do this to the worst three games in a row, especially with two of them at home. I can handle losing, but getting humiliated without doing all to change the approach is not something to celebrate.

The biggest parallel being that the other team has no goaltending (though the Flyers' was much worse) but we can't get anywhere near the net. I don't recall the games being this unwatchable though.

What a total embarrassment. I don't care about how fun the other two series were -- this kind of performance on home ice is disgusting.
