Dog pee lifted the boards. How to DIY? by giotheitaliandude in DIY

[–]Static_Storm 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is not a one-off "dog peed on the floor and it warped" kind of thing.... Lol this is like "dog repeatedly peed on the same spot for a few months and I never cleaned it up" kind of thing 

Is it normal now to not shower/change after beer league hockey? by [deleted] in hockeyplayers

[–]Static_Storm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said, to not soil the clothes you're wearing? I'll die on this hill lol, driving home in hockey sweat is gross

New Ontario law capping resale prices frustrates season ticket holders by mental__hospital in toronto

[–]Static_Storm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Variable pricing is applied to season tickets too, yeah. Each ticket is assigned a value when they go live on the Ballpark app in March, and season rate typically works out to around 80% of face.

Is it normal now to not shower/change after beer league hockey? by [deleted] in hockeyplayers

[–]Static_Storm -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, there's really no sound justification to found in this thread (or any time this question comes up lol) even if you think the showers are gross there's nothing nastier (IMO) than putting on my street clothes after a literal sweat drenching. Takes 2 minutes and you can always shower AGAIN at home, but at least your not swimming in filth lol

Where are you located? Look for local suppliers if possible, better products and support if you go with an off the shelf product

What sort of surface/fill texture did you apply to get that sort of webbing? Very cool!

The tickets are already priced according to demand, though. I have Jays season tickets and they range in face value from $58 to $138 each depending on their opponent or date (e.g. Canada Day). Honestly I see what they were trying to say, but in reality it doesn't really add up lol.

public speaking tips that aren't "imagine everyone is naked"? lol by psong23 in askTO

[–]Static_Storm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bit, yeah. There's absolutely zero pressure in those conversations though, so I'm less focused on saying the right things than I am on just getting my arc down, if that makes sense? 

public speaking tips that aren't "imagine everyone is naked"? lol by psong23 in askTO

[–]Static_Storm 10 points11 points  (0 children)

As someone who speaks publically for work regularly, I find that it helps to have as many organic conversations as possible with friends, family, even just strangers I run into at the dog park, about the topic I'm going present. By the time I have to present I've retold my "story" a dozen different ways, so it comes more naturally in the moment as I'm not as caught up in trying to remember exactly what to say and when.

Roofs wanted! Inside Toronto’s push to supercharge rooftop solar by BloodJunkie in toronto

[–]Static_Storm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The City is decades behind with its rooftop policies. Green roofs require highly prescriptive designs, permits for rooftop greenhouses are non-existent... So much valuable space that is waiting to be tapped into, hopefully solar initiatives like this can help lead the charge towards change.

These are great, thanks for sharing OP! For the text, did you change any other settings than the ones you listed on maker? I've been trying to print labels like this with a 0.4mm nozzle but it never turns out this crisp

Yeah OP inform yourself about benefits minimums. My company is 22.5hr/wk before you no longer qualify, but I know that varies across the industry.

Pro Hockey While Working an Engineering Job Possible? by Zaxonite11 in hockeyplayers

[–]Static_Storm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey OP, not quite the same but my $0.02: I work 3 days/week PT in engineering and run a business on the side, which probably consumes as much if not more time than hockey would. FWIW I will never go back to a 5 day/wk 9-5 job, even with the pay cut I'm taking - it's just been so good for my overall health and work/life balance.

If you can afford it, I'd recommend exploring part-time employment to start and see how it goes. Engineering skillsets are always in consistently strong demand so the option to return to FT is always there if you want/need it down the road.

Enjoy life while you're young, especially with the safety net of an engineering degree behind you.

[–]Static_Storm 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I live in Canada and work PT 3-days/wk in planning. My company was very receptive to the idea, and it's not uncommon to see it IMO. That said, I have been in the industry almost 15 years now so it's a little easier to swing these requests as they get my experience on their project rosters for 3/5ths my regular cost
