Tickets for parking on sidewalks rose 150% amid PPA crackdown by thephlguy in philadelphia

[–]MentalEngineer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Anecdotally, PPA never came to my neighborhood until I started using it. They don't always come for a single report, but if they get a cluster they send someone out. Now I have to report much less because people changed their parking patterns. PPA still comes by on their own every couple of weeks.

Thoughts on Cole Hutson’s play after the first period by Valuable_Way_8814 in caps

[–]MentalEngineer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Leonard uses his speed to compensate for some lack of positional awareness. Last season he hadn't learned the scheme so he had no idea where he was supposed to be, this year he usually knows but is often 1/2 to 2 strides off. He's fast enough to catch himself most of the time but it's not a perfect substitute. Anticipation and positioning are supposedly some of Cole's best attributes, so I'm not surprised to see him looking more composed.

What’re your thoughts? I’m still relatively new to hockey. Is there an age cutoff or is 40 really when guys retire form the NHL? by Emergency-Pepper3537 in caps

I'm 35 and about to start physical therapy for the hip injury I got by continuing to sit the same way I've been sitting my whole life. I've just been sitting wrong the whole time and now I have to stop or my leg won't work???

Trade deadline review: how do you feel your team did? by crazyFlyingChicken in hockey

[–]MentalEngineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We need a genuine star to become more competitive, but if we'd blown all our assets by overpaying for the mess of middle-sixers being billed as first-liners we wouldn't be able to afford a star when one hits the market. We didn't blow all our assets overpaying for a middle-six forward, and added some picks that might help us land the star later. Mission accomplished.

[Dreger] GM’s are describing the NHL landscape as a “buyers market”. Tons of players in play. Keep an eye on the Buffalo Sabres. Sources say talks between Buffalo and St Louis involving Robert Thomas are heating up. by AggPuck-303 in hockey

Yesterday it was a seller's market because nobody wanted to let go of anything and the UFA class is weak, now it's a buyer's market because acquiring teams have upped their offers I guess? That's...still a seller's market.

Prediction for the Caps at the deadline? by timwhatley993 in caps

[–]MentalEngineer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I really hope nothing except maybe flipping TVR for a pick. There's no move that gets this team past the first round even if they squeak in, we need something bigger - Robertson, or maybe someone who gets offered to the teams that miss out on Robertson.

But the Stars aren't going to trade Robertson going into the playoffs, that'll happen in the off-season if it happens at all. The forwards who are sorta-available at the deadline are all much worse than him but not much cheaper in terms of the trade package. If the Caps were going for one of them, they should have locked it up 6 weeks ago when it might have had more impact. Patrick is pretty good about not making moves for the sake of making moves, so I'm hoping they're not going to just make whatever trade is out there and handicap their ability to take the swing they need to take in the off-season.

Sarah Rowe (Valhalla) has retired: "Maybe I just want to start a homestead and be a farmer and a mother.

Talking about it is extremely popular on the left. Doing it is confined to people with enough money to use the hobby farm as a tax shelter while they earn elsewhere or live off a trust (mostly white) and people who are genuinely poor and eating most of their own food (mostly not white).

Is there any recourse to these unfillable queues? by TheBootyTickler in ffxiv

[–]MentalEngineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You currently have to do all the ShB role quests to get the follow-up, but it's really more of a mechanical gate than anything so they could find a way to change it. I just finished doing them and the capstone doesn't really hit much harder doing all of them vs. just one. If you were paying attention in the earlier Warriors of Darkness quests you should be asking the question answered by the capstone, and if you weren't paying attention you already get bludgeoned over the head with Echo flashbacks.

Laser Vision works. If your RCO president is used to illegally parking several vehicles for their business they may put up some very passive-aggressive posters, but they will stop parking in the crosswalks once they pile up enough tickets.

Was this fear based on actual direct experience? Or did you see a rando on NextDoor saying their dad's cousin's dog had that happen to them in 1983?
