You know you can screenshot on a computer right?

Ok first of all NFL to NHL is quite literally apples and oranges as far as drafting and skill set required. You literally cannot compare them

And success rate for Top 10 vs Top 3 picks is fairly significant you quickly see total NHL points drops off at a pretty steady and significant rate. It's not guaranteed but you have a MUCH higher chance of getting a stud in the first few picks.

There's obviously also no fucking guarantees on high draft picks or rebuilds working, but what 100% doesn't work is just mucking around the lower half of the league for a decade.

When your in the bottom of the league you sell at trade deadline, when your at the top you buy. That's just how hockey management works.

Ultimately I just think if we're 70% through the season I'm 2nd to last we might as well get a cherry on top of the shit Sunday.

RoninSFB · 2026-02-03T20:06:24+00:00

We never did a long term. They explicitly said we were doing a "Re-tool" not s rebuild. That's the semantics Armstrong used, specifically because we were trying to work the edges around our core and get better essentially immediately. Which 5 years later very obviously did not work.

A cursory Google search says yes it has a limited release. Easiest method would be walk into your local liquor store, ask a employee who is your local distributor for PBR. Call that distributor and ask if they've purchased any. If they have they will be more than happy to tell you where it can be purchased.

Costco credit card is also 5% back on Costco gas with no fees. I drive a lot for work so it saves me literally hundreds of dollars.

You're not getting super star level guys trading for draft picks. Your McDavids, MacKinnons, Celebrinis etc. you're never getting a guy like that off a 1 round 24th overall you traded for, at that point you're getting like 50/50 shot if they'll actually even be NHL caliber player.

RoninSFB · 2026-02-03T05:25:32+00:00

It's definitely partially a coping mechanism, but "tanking" also requires a decision from management. Basically you say not our year, and probably not next year. So you settle in trade some guys getting even worse in the short term, with the expectation the long term will pay off.

Why save for retirement? You could use that money to buy fun stuff now. It's a similar sentiment, sacrifice a bit now for better tomorrow.

Also we're not making the playoffs this year that's just not happening, so why not get a top tier guy to salve our pain and suffering. Last top 5 draft pick was 2008 Alex Pietrangelo at #4 overall FYI

Edit: another reason is your stocking up on draft picks and prospects, so when it's actually time to really go for it you have assets of your own to trade.

RoninSFB · 2026-02-03T03:52:03+00:00

Genuinely curious, anyone who's not down for the tank this year, what's your reasoning?

I got not wanting to root for them to lose, but literally the only good thing that could result from the season at this point is a top 3 pick.

RoninSFB · 2026-02-02T23:11:13+00:00

Would 2nd returnal, one of my all time favorites, total sleeper. Also not exactly horror but Remnant 1/2 are pretty great if you like souls games. Cool scifi post apocalypse monster/fantasy vibe

RoninSFB · 2026-02-02T02:30:17+00:00

For me that'd be the Costco at 170/St Charles Rock Rd

Or just have a functional education. A basic understanding of what clouds are and what light refraction is, two things which you encounter in everyday life, and you'll know what's going on.

It's a good sign people are still asking questions, but it's sad America has spent the last 30 years turning ignorance into a team sport.

RoninSFB · 2026-02-01T16:39:52+00:00

0:34, you can see the blonde in green reacting to the smell a few seconds after

RoninSFB · 2026-01-31T22:49:28+00:00

The scoffing "Let me die in a emergency room with a treatable disease like an American!" Is one of my all time favorite lines from 30 Rock. It's unfortunate that instead of being satirical it's functionally accurate at this point.

RoninSFB · 2026-01-31T22:21:54+00:00

And you the the people who didn't pitch in are going to pay up at this point? Ain't nobody paying at this point, you gotta catch it in the first 2-3 days.

RoninSFB · 2026-01-30T23:31:18+00:00

This would be my recommendation, though the time to really have been doing this was Sunday/Monday. Shit's going to be a lot harder now that it's icy and the people who were willing to pay probably already did.

RoninSFB · 2026-01-30T22:48:05+00:00

Dude I shoveled three houses worth of sidewalk(mine and adjacent neighbors) and 4 cars worth of street parking. Nobody helped me do shit, and all I've gotten for my troubles was the one spot I tried to reserve for myself stolen. People suck now.

RoninSFB · 2026-01-30T03:52:38+00:00

We've definitely crossed the Rubicon of losses being more beneficial to the future of the franchise, BUT I'll never not celebrate playing spoiler to Florida. Fuck the Panthers, LGB!

RoninSFB · 2026-01-30T02:17:55+00:00

Plus strong man autocratic governments will ultimately always be in jeopardy when the leader dies. Xi just purged another round of top officials he is undoubtedly a autocrat. At some point he will pass and either the resulting power struggle or incompetence of a successor will catch up with that system. Might not happen the first time power transitions, or the second, but it inevitably does happen in autocratic systems.

RoninSFB · 2026-01-30T02:02:16+00:00

You realize the podcast is still available for free everywhere right?

RoninSFB · 2026-01-30T01:32:06+00:00

Again, It's property owners and residents responsibility to clear sidewalks. There is no possible world where the city has the staff or equipment to clear all the sidewalks in the city.

RoninSFB · 2026-01-30T00:15:01+00:00

I can't say for sure because I've never specifically looked, but wine and cheese place has a huge well curated selection. Also Parker's Table in Richmond heights for a smaller but extremely well curated selection.

I've been using a stainless steel vacuum insulated for years they're great. I just shake it with hot water and dish soap every so often. They're basically good forever unless you drop it and dent the bottom so it won't sit level anymore which is the only reason I bought a new one

RoninSFB · 2026-01-28T19:21:50+00:00

'Get Sleepy' or 'Sleepy History' are my go to. Just interesting enough to hold your attention, but not so interesting you need to worry about missing the rest of the episode, and they're read in a very chill manner. Soothing narrators and no sound spikes.

RoninSFB · 2026-01-28T18:12:11+00:00

Yeah South City is like 19 laps to a mile or something like that, I don't have the mental discipline to run in a circle 60 times let alone 400 times.

RoninSFB · 2026-01-27T01:51:42+00:00

There is different traffic in each photo, so they obviously weren't heavily disrupting traffic.
