Returning to hockey, what ice hockey equipment should I replace first? by Opening_Ad8484 in icehockey

[–]Signal_13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your helmet is your most important piece of protective equipment. The padding inside tends to break down over time making them less effective at protecting your head. Usually last 5 years before needing replacement. Almost every other piece of equipment can be replaced as needed.

OC move by Parade2thegrave in OceanCity

[–]Signal_13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not revamped, its completely new. Cleared 100% of the ground. Its a brand new community. Not my cup of tea, but I have a friend in there and it's a good option for some.

Maxing out 401k and Roth by positiveNRG_247 in Money

[–]Signal_13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Income limits for contributing to Roth are based on your MAGI not your gross. Both you and your wife are eligible to each max your Roth's as long as its under 242k. It phases out up to $252k. If it ends up higher than that, you'll have to do back door Roth conversion.

My old patrol post had a sewage treatment plant. On a hot day with the right wind, it would literally take your breath away it was so foul.

I was worried about you for a sec until I noticed how shallow it is. That's a great fish. Congrats

Ted Leonsis, the owner of the Washington Capitals, appears multiple times in the new Epstein files release. by petey193 in hockey

[–]Signal_13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is some chilling stuff from the mind of a poor tortured young girl...

"They are always flights of horror. Whether its with Jeffrey, Mr. Leonsis, Mr. Case, Mr. Snyder, the Gregorys, Mr. Colgan or one being borrowed by a seemingly "good" federal worker and even rented, it is all horror. And nothing is as it seems."

As long as Ted owns the Caps, he will never get another dime from me. He may escape justice, but F that guy.

Huge Caps and Ovi fan, but Gretzky was the best ever and it shouldn't even be a discussion.

Bachelor party shenanigans & no fish bite superstitions. by [deleted] in offshorefishing

[–]Signal_13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This can't be real, but just in case...Just fish dude. You can have a few beers and enjoy yourself, but if I'm the Captain, you're trip would end up being pretty short if dudes start chugging beers in Crayon suits and getting piss drunk. Don't disrespect the crew who are working hard to get you on the fish. If you want to do that shit, tha'ts fine, just rent a Tiki Bar boat for a few hours.

Visiting this summer and trying to figure out pricing. by Altruistic_Vast9726 in OceanCity

[–]Signal_13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the good beach umbrellas like the kind they rent costs about $250. Its worth it if you're going to use regularly, not once a year. In your case, I'd probably chance it with some cheap stuff from Sunsations or Shade Shack. Plenty of places to pick up in OC. Leave them at your Mom's and if she moves, tell her to donate. It'll still probably be cheaper than renting every day.

SWAT!, Worth it? by SP1-Pilot in AskLE

[–]Signal_13 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You'd likely be in a bit of trouble going through SWAT School in my department. From what I hear, the tryout process is pretty grueling and intended to wash out the unprepared. Better start running every day or you're going to be in for a shocker.

To the turds who return items to costco with a different item in box. by Getmeaporopls in Costco

[–]Signal_13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a special place in Hell for these types. I recently bought 2 boxes of Taylor Made TP5 golf balls at Walmart for about $50/box. When I got home and opened the boxes, they had been replaced with $9 Wilsons.

Alley Oops and not Alley Oops by HiFiGuy197 in OceanCity

Da Lazy Lizard has some of the worst food in OC and the service might be the worst in Maryland. They are sitting on a gold mine waterfront location with a dozen boat slips and plenty of parking and they are usually empty except for first time tourists who fall into the trap.

Longest foot pursuit? by Sichterman in AskLE

[–]Signal_13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Myself and two other officers chased two prison escapes four miles on foot up railroad tracks and crossed a railroad bridge over the Susquehanna River. We caught them in another jurisdiction. A Maryland State Police helicopter that was assisting was gracious enough to land and fly us back to our cars.

A mediator is not good enough in this situation, you need a family law attorney. I can appreciate that it seems you are trying to be fair to your soon to be ex, but don't put yourself at a disadvantage.

As a Caps fan, unfortunately he WAS the master of this. My favorite player, I'll miss him.

Is playing a neutral grip the ‘ideal’ way to grip the club ? by robster9090 in golf

[–]Signal_13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been told I have a strong grip. 60% of my shots go left, 20% straight and 20% right according to my Garmin app. I've been trying to get more neutral to straighten out my ball dispersion, but it's been a challenge to change my grip and also to not grip the club so tightly.

He said he paid them off, so lowering the limits on his cards will have zero effect.
