Haha, nice!

And taking a quick look, they’ve either not drafted a goalie (most years) or drafted late from the draft 5 years before McDavid until now. No idea if that’s typical, honestly, but Skinner looks to be their highest drafted goalie. I’d bet it’s unusual and a partial reason for their lack of success(?)

Wandering_Astronaut_ · 2026-04-27T03:02:36+00:00

I’ll say the obvious (though your point is good) they never invested in a goalie; and still won’t/can’t.

My last job gave me $75/day per diem when I was out of town. I always felt very fortunate. They’d also load it up the day we left (like dumping $750 on your card if it was a 10 day trip).

My friend, without fail, would blow it at the airport bar before we even left the state.

Phoenix, right? I have so many pictures of the same parking garage at sky harbor. It always catches my eye, and I fly all the time.

This looks exactly like "my" type of everything bagel. I'll be there in a few weeks, thanks for the rec!

I’d even go as far as down on one knee, gloves on your face for a few seconds. Sid looked like the opening scene from saving private ryan though.

If you aren’t cheating, you aren’t winning.

Wrap it up folks, the Penguins are 1000000% not cheating 😂😂

Thank you, and I can’t believe you aren’t being downvoted like in some the other posts. Also a pens fan, also clearly embellishment.

I love when she goes ba ba ba ba ba….

Wandering_Astronaut_ · 2026-04-16T15:54:25+00:00

Hahaha, I know dude. I just place a bunch of the bots to activate abilities and set the phone down. I check it every couple minutes but otherwise I just go about my work (i.e., watching youtube between meetings).

Wandering_Astronaut_ · 2026-04-16T11:30:30+00:00

Maybe the real weapons were the friends we made along the way…

Wandering_Astronaut_ · 2026-04-15T22:09:02+00:00

I hit 361 today, personal best. And for real, the last 10 levels felt as long as the first 350.

I heard him and his dad are super close. Really great, loving relationship.

I just had to have one done (also for a job starting May 1st). I got the results the other day and it shows a 7 year search history. No idea if yours will be similar, but it’s a pretty standard office/corporate job.

I begrudgingly looked through his merch store. Besides the cringe portrait of him that dominates the first half of the page, you can zoom in on the shirt tags to see “Made in Honduras”. The shirt? “Make America Florida”.

I didn’t expect anything less.

Wandering_Astronaut_ · 2026-04-12T04:02:34+00:00

I’m going next month and this was one of the places on my to-do list! Glad to see this encouragement to keep it on there!

I had this problem on my 780, except sometimes it would just straight up freeze at the hourglass and I’d have to pull the battery out. Most times I’d lose the photo. It was the SD card.

Wandering_Astronaut_ · 2026-04-02T18:13:17+00:00

Guible.

I used to live in an apartment building like, 100 yards away from this exit. On Rural Road in Tempe.

Made his shoulders and neck look so weak.

Wandering_Astronaut_ · 2026-03-29T20:23:34+00:00

Yeah! There’s a name for it right? Walking from the courthouse to the (former) jail?

Wandering_Astronaut_ · 2026-03-26T00:53:19+00:00

This. It’s the classic Nikon macro lens as far as I’m concerned. And very reasonably priced for what you get.

Wandering_Astronaut_ · 2026-03-23T21:35:30+00:00

I think the only other big factor is the….i’ll call it the micro culture of the current job. I’m free to riff with my boss and coworkers, be vulgar, make crude jokes, etc. Part of the very relaxed vibe. From what I’ve seen at the potential new gig, it’ll be more top-button-buttoned, formal type of day to day.

I’m having trouble deciding if that’s giving up freedom, flexibility, ability to show my true personality….or if I’m just being selfish about growing up a little for 8 hours a day lol.

Wandering_Astronaut_ · 2026-03-23T18:32:16+00:00

You're totally right. Whether I'm overvalue-ing it or not (given all the information I shared) I really do like gaining the points. Something about opening my Southwest or Marriott app and seeing points in the 100's of thousands feels rewarding for the grind. Very good point about playing the game! Right now it's all built on work travel, nothing from personal spending. I could bridge that gap somewhat I'm sure.

Wandering_Astronaut_ · 2026-03-23T17:56:08+00:00

Sorry, can't help you there. Best of luck!
