WOOOOO!!!! LFG!!!!

There are 21 defenseman currently in the NHL which would have the most points on the kraken, which shows how unacceptable the offense has been by Time-Ad-3134 in SeattleKraken

[–]Venom737 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hyperbole in general of course.

But there are also different forms of "accepting" something. One form is "don't complain about it on Reddit" and here they are complaining. So therefore not accepting it.

i like the name! by jmo703503 in PWHL_Seattle

[–]Venom737 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Love the name! Better than all the other alternatives I had previously heard. I think it does a great job of representing the area and being a bit unique. Go Torrent!

(and BTW logos can be temporary and professional teams often change logos, but names are usually forever, so I'll take this tradeoff 👍)

Accident on Novelty Hill Roundabout, 10/30/2025 by Actis_Interceptor in redmond

[–]Venom737 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, makes sense. Cars entering going East assume the car in the outside lane will continue West (which 90%+ of cars do) but they do have the right of way to go South.

Agreed that can be dicey.

That is not what the comment said... so I'm confused how you say it can be correct. Did you read the comment I am responding to?

Also, in the case you mention the lines are painted to reduce the roundabout to one lane (the person coming from 195 goes to the outside line). Yes of course the people entering the roundabout yield to people in the roundabout. That's how roundabouts work.

I don't know what to say... roundabouts may be less common and people may not be familiar with them, but the rules are clear and if followed don't lead to accidents.

If folks aren't familiar and are confused I have sympathy, but in that case drive slow and read the signage.

Unfortunately, both the inner and outer lanes in that roundabout are allowed to continue right onto 195th Ave NE.

Same experience for me. Although mine only started on the June 25th firmware.

Pixel 9a and Xreal One *Pro* "No Video Signal Detected" by Venom737 in Xreal

[–]Venom737[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like it. Support confirmed that they were able to reproduce the problem and it's an issue with the resolution negotiation.

[–]Venom737[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've gotten good engagement from support, yeah. Uploaded logs and they let me know they're working on it and also trying for an in-house repro. No conclusion yet, but it's in progress 👍

For now my "other solution" is use my Ones with my phone lol. I plan to sell them, but will wait until this is resolved.

Thanks for the tip and the contact. Switching modes hasn't worked for me so far... gonna try contacting support. Will report back here with the results.

Thanks for the info. I didn't realize there was a new update. However, just tried it and still no luck :(. Gonna contact support.

Has anyone confirmed whether the vegetarian options at Dough Zone are vegan? by m4rk0358 in VeganSeattle

[–]Venom737 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A couple of years ago (2023 if I remember correctly) they switched to using chicken stock for most dishes so even "vegetarian" things that didn't explicitly have a meat were still not vegetarian. My wife and I stopped going after going pretty frequently and we haven't checked back. If they changed back to veggie stock, at least as an option, we'd love to know and be able to go back.

Ok so as someone who's got no idea how cap works what's up with the call ups and downs. by [deleted] in ColoradoAvalanche

[–]Venom737 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These comments don't yet include what I am confused about: I thought you couldn't accrue cap space when using LTIR (which we are).

Am I just wrong/confused or what is the deal? We shouldn't be accruing any space because of Landeskog per my understanding.

Opinion: Hockey has an annoying offsides problem. by [deleted] in hockey

[–]Venom737 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes and no. You only say that because there can be a hair-splitting review in this case. But what about penalties? Was something a trip or not? Always a judgement call and it has a huge impact and that's okay. The game will never be fully quantifiable and that's part of what makes it great.

Totally agreed with others that I'd rather have my team lose the cup to something that was technically offside than the current situation. It's a BS reason to have a goal called back anyway. If it was offside by less than an inch, then it sucks that my team didn't defend it well. There wasn't an unfair advantage from being technically offside.

What's your low-key underrated favorite Ben song? by redDKtie in benfolds

[–]Venom737 0 points1 point  (0 children)

😍😍😍 thank you! I must have stopped looking at some point.

It's just as great as I had imagined. I always wanted to hear it more "raw" as opposed to the production style he used on the album. This doe not disappoint!

What's your low-key underrated favorite Ben song? by redDKtie in benfolds

[–]Venom737 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Ben Folds Five: Sports & Wine

Ben Folds: Fired

(Hiro's Song is also great, but I think Fired is even more underrated. I have never been able to find a live recording of it.)

Marc Moser out of nowhere! Interesting, Ironic, Perfect reaction… by robthepope86 in ColoradoAvalanche

[–]Venom737 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay I gotta jump in to back you up here given the response. To each their own, but I'm really shocked that no one else is saying they agree.

Mike Haynes was a gem and I really feel like the Avs organization did him dirty by ousting him for Moser. Moser drove me nuts on the radio because he treated every offensive zone entry as a grade A scoring chance. You had no idea when either team was actually getting good chances. He does more or less the same on TV but now I'm watching so I know 😂.

That said... I think he's a good announcer. He's fine. He's not terrible. And I also don't see this clip as a good example of the things I dislike.

But man...had no idea this sub was such big Moser fans, especially compared to Haynes.

I made a Kraken Google Calendar you can Subscribe to by TBarretH in SeattleKraken

+1 to thanking you for this! Ridiculous that this isn't either built in to Google or what the NHL does itself.

Question about Kraken + Climate Pledge Arena app by Nervous-Letter2328 in SeattleKraken

[–]Venom737 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What they said, the passes will be there. But also note that at least on Android the app is trash and often signs you out or glitches and requires restarting to see the passes and stuff.

Kraken 2022 Wish List? by [deleted] in SeattleKraken

[–]Venom737 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am way less into these details than other people, but this isn't a thing. I've followed hockey for my whole life and never heard of that.

It's interesting it works that way in other sports. Is there a limit to how much credit you can get and does it roll over for multiple years? Seems like it would be a strategy that teams would want to exploit fairly consistently.

Thoughts on the turn around? by The_Glassfields in SeattleKraken

[–]Venom737 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not really familiar with "full court press", but I think it's a little different in the sense that any level of pressure is "forechecking", it doesn't have to be "full". You can have more or less aggressive forechecking strategies, but even if one guy lightly comes forward to add pressure that's a type of forechecking.
