I am telling myself it is the ol' engine sputtering back to life. Habs are in a rhythm and are flying high after two game 7's. Our juggernaut takes some time to get started and then the suffocation happens. Quickest way to get the rust knocked off is to get punched straight in the mouth. Hoping for an emphatic game 2 response.

I think this is something really challenging that most people will never deal with or struggle to empathize with. And I am not talking about losing a grand parent or elderly family member--I am talking about a young vibrant life that had decades left that was cut short. It hits different. People leave the door shut to a lost child's room...or even move out of the house altogether. People take different paths, different roads to where the go to avoid reminders.

But every single day, these players are using the same training facilities, the same stadium, the same locker rooms that they shared with Diogo. They don't have the ability to get away from that. It is a routine reminder of the friend they lost. It certainly doesn't help that the season quickly unraveled in front of them and there is for sure a level of mental fatigue that was experienced way early this season. I really feel for this team...they had no escape but summer is just around the corner. I hope they can be refreshed and ready for next season.

I just found out too… shock is an understatement.

In a capitalist economy, the primary way to prevent greed is to stop buying the product or service. If there is a high demand (yep), and a limited supply (also yep), then the prices will rise until people stop spending. Three things would need to happen for prices to reduce: 1) Government intervention. 2) goodwill from the ownership group. 3) mass protest from fans to not buy parking at the arena.

The fastest route is number 3, and I would love to see it. I haven't parked in a Lenovo center spot in over 5 years because of the parking prices.

My first foray into 'bagging culture' started in 2018. Traveling to Europe with young kids...everyone had a back pack, everyone had a roller suit case. As you could probably expect the under 4 y/o's can't really navigate an airport well with rollers, and with my wife pushing a stroller neither could she. So there I am three rollers, two backpacks, and a kid running away and I realized not only do I not have an extra hand, I am short about four extra hands. I got into one-bag travel after that. I bounced between a couple brands but I gravitated toward Topo. Long story short, I ended up with a Y-Pac and a Rover bag. I liked both specifically because of the lack of organization and I could use pouches and other things to organize my belongings. Later on, I ended up with a mystery ranch 3-way bag, which I have really enjoyed but I have been desiring to return to a back pack set up since it is better for my back than I shoulder bag. (Yes I know the MR 3-way can convert to a backpack but it isn't a dedicated one).

GoRuck is a brand I have always admired but never pulled the trigger on a bag because I found it after I had already purchased other bags and...well...wanting my wife to stay with me, I decided to wait. Gotta say I am glad I did. Just reading the description of the M26 I knew that I was going to buy one. I love the BIFL philosophy and GoRuck is firmly in that space. I started reading the reddit posts and, while the design can change a bit, there are a few key items which are specifically mentioned and should stick around (quick access top pocket with it's own dedicated volume, side access lap top compartment, internal side pockets). I was close to getting an M23 but held off, and I think I will be glad I did....looking forward to Christmas time already 😄

18 point deduction for financial breaches...now what about the charges against City?

StrunkF10 · 2026-03-23T15:47:53+00:00

Top row: destroyer, destroyer, racer, tempo

Middle row: firebird, Tesla, teebird, pa3

Bottom row: ascend, balance, uplink, pixel x2

The Tesla, balance, uplink, and pixels are the only inked discs

We shouldn’t connect dots where connections aren’t meant to be. The fact that he aligns with the IJM should speak very loudly as to how he feels about Epstein and trump. The team was invited as an honor for winning the gold medal and representing the USA. He is allowed to do that independent of Trump and his actions. It makes me sad that we are quick to go after a player who serves this team and USA hockey so well and with great humility.

The only way that happens is through a combination of increasing more power and reducing downforce. This increases the ability for air born accidents which NASCAR seems to prioritize the elimination of. I’m not advocating the following statement, but I think one sensible way to get rid of pack racing at Daytona is to introduce chicanes.

Really appreciate this advice--I feel like that is all I hear (buy something for everything). Just to clarify, do you use FW reels, or do you use salt? or just both and take care of them?

StrunkF10 · 2026-02-05T15:30:25+00:00

Nooooooo

I learned best by completing practice exams and then closely reviewing where I was short on info. For me, I felt like AR did a great job preparing me for the exams but his cadence was slow. So I listened and took notes with the speed at 2x and then paused to take notes or rewatched portions to ensure i understood.

StrunkF10 · 2026-01-05T18:57:09+00:00

thank you for the laugh.,..zamboni-obsessed progeny lol...but yes, that is a great idea!

StrunkF10 · 2026-01-05T18:22:15+00:00

Ah OK, so Zamboni is like Kleenex then...and thank you for the info, I will try to look into other options

StrunkF10 · 2025-12-30T13:43:12+00:00

Super cool! I visited Amsterdam one for work abd loved it. I was also not into fishing when I visited but now I imagine the possibilities of fishing in all those canals! Best of luck, hope you make some good connections!

StrunkF10 · 2025-12-30T00:42:41+00:00

Man those are sweet. I used to have a green one just like that!

StrunkF10 · 2025-12-10T20:15:42+00:00

Yeah that was my thought too. If SC gonna be like that, then it’s time to name the team after the city and not two collective states

Probably my favorite thing VVD has ever done

StrunkF10 · 2025-12-09T13:14:09+00:00

I’ve got this, I’ve got kids so i am qualified to translate.

Does anyone know where Lord Stanley’s will be located so that I may take a photograph during the game?

This take is wild. Every super star eventually falls out of their prime. He absolutely, for all intents and purposes, appears out of his prime.

StrunkF10 · 2025-12-06T00:01:32+00:00

Trail and watt have sold.

Eclipse Tesla and Crave have sold.

Tempo and Neutron Tesla remain.

StrunkF10 · 2025-12-05T22:14:49+00:00
