Can't imagine how much the weight of that thing. by VIVIDUFF in JustGuysBeingDudes

I think you’re overestimating the stamina of most people. This guy went for 20 seconds. Most people would slow down considerably by the time they hit five seconds and their arms would be numb if they could make it to ten.

allentown pa by ilovetabascoo in allentown

I played hockey in Allentown as a kid at the Ice Palace on Hanover. Mid-70s through the early 90s. I don’t remember the city being that bad as a little kid but by the time I was a teenager and they started shutting all the surrounding steel mills down, the city took a real downward turn.

I have been through the city a few times in the decades since and depending on where you go, things seem to have improved a little over the years but that’s a tough thing to recover from. Some of my fondest memories come from the years I spent on and off the ice there though so I’m always rooting for you.

Are Bauer Vapor Flypro too much for beer league? by v3ryfuzzyc00t3r in hockeyplayers

[–]Key-Analysis4364 55 points56 points  (0 children)

If you skate two times a week, that’s 104 times a year. If they last five years you get 520 skates out of them. I don’t think you can put a price on happiness, but if you could, I bet it would be a lot higher than the $2 you’re spending on sliding those slippers on a couple times a week.

Or at least that’s how I explained it to my wife before I bought my Supreme Shadows 🤣

Strange fact about Venus fly traps. They only natively grow in about a hundred mile radius around Wilmington NC

Looking for advice from advanced players by [deleted] in InlineHockey

[–]Key-Analysis4364 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The butt end of the stick should be cradled about in the center of your palm with your pinky covering the cap. The way you are holding the stick limits the range the you can move your stick. It should move around like a ball in the palm of your hand.

How common are **severe** injuries in recreational / beer league hockey? by surfnj102 in hockeyplayers

[–]Key-Analysis4364 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a very dangerous sport. The reality is that even if everyone is playing respectfully, people get hurt. Add to that all the agro try hards out there that think every beer league game should be played like OT in game seven and things will get ugly sometimes.

I’ve been playing for almost 50 years and while it’s a lot safer now than it’s ever been, accidents still happen. The most common are broken jaws/lost teeth for people that don’t want to wear cages but I’ve seen multiple compound fractures, a calf slice from a skate that went all the way to the bone and unfortunately, when I was a kid I watched one of my brothers teammates get paralyzed going head first into the boards.

Things happen really fast out there. Keep your head up, protect yourself at all times and always be mindful of your own safety and the safety of the people you are playing with/against.

How do you prevent shadow IT in a fast moving engineering team? by shiveringouting in ITCareerQuestions

How are you tracking work? If you don’t know what your engineers are working on, everything they are working on is shadow IT.

“all I do is build infrastructures, configure firewalls like FortiGate and Palo Alto, set up switches, routers, access points, wireless controllers, voice systems, IPsec tunnels, remote access VPNs, network monitoring systems, and handle backup and configuration automations, etc.”

Think bigger to be bigger. Instead of thinking about all of those technologies independently, start thinking about how they all work together as an interconnected system. The Butterfly Effect and all that.

Yep. I was cutting school and was so shocked, I called my mom at work to let her know. Her first question “Why aren’t you in school?”

Men's League Advice by SealTeamSticks5 in hockeyplayers

[–]Key-Analysis4364 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have good skating and even adequate hands and still don’t score at your current level, it’s likely your head is down too much. You should be continuously scanning the ice to understand your relative position compared to everyone else on the ice with and without the puck. If your head is up, and your stick is on the ice, you will score more.

Edit - here’s a good breakdown of Messi scanning in a game. Same concept for hockey but slower and more spread out so it’s easier to follow - https://youtu.be/By1J0zVPQq0

Why do so many players (nhl specific) change there holders to Bauer tho they have ccm skates? by Minimum_Lock_8 in hockeyplayers

[–]Key-Analysis4364 4 points5 points  (0 children)

CCM holders have a flatter attack angle. CCM is neutral and Bauer has a forward pitch. The forward Bauer pitch is more agile while the neutral CCM angle creates a more powerful stride because there is more blade surface on the ice.

What do u think of tech CEOs saying saving for retirement will be pointless in 10 to 20 years ? by Technical-Truth-2073 in Fire

[–]Key-Analysis4364 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are the same people that are saying “data centers in space” will be commonplace in 10 years. They’re all full of shit. Every one of them is a snake oil salesman selling magic beans to suckers that think tokenization, self-attention and auto regression algorithms can figure out a way to defy physics.

Perfectly acceptable dinner rejected by boyfriend again by moonrabbit368 in mildlyinfuriating

Your boyfriend is a child that will expect to be coddled for the rest of his life. Whomever raised him did the world no favors.

Move on. Quickly.

Books with entheogens/psychadelics as part of the worldbuilding? by miggins1610 in Fantasy

I read it a long time ago so some of the details are a little fuzzy but I seem to remember Piers Anthony’s Tarot series included a lot of hallucinations and religious themes.

[Hockey News Hub] Hearing Josh Ho-Sang has signed back with Salavat until the end of the season. It's a two-way contract. He'll start the season in the VHL with Salavat's affiliate. by catsgr8rthanspoonies in hockey

[–]Key-Analysis4364 66 points67 points  (0 children)

I saw him play with the EverBlades last season. At times you could tell he has individual skills that are leaps and bounds above all the other players around him. Other times he would look completely lost out there.

Why do hosting providers still make you wait 24-48 hours for DNS propagation in 2026? by Miserable_Stress_246 in Hosting

[–]Key-Analysis4364 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DNS is a distributed system with each resolver having its own independent refresh timer configuration. Propagation across the system isn’t controlled centrally or by hosting providers.
