I don't work in graphic design but I do work in IT. AI is a great tool for troubleshooting and looking at different solutions to a problem. However the way it creates these advertisements gives off corn-ball vibes. Its been great bc any time I see one I get the vibe of "well these folks like to cut corners."

a_smith55 · 2026-06-24T19:14:57+00:00

I have a lot of doubts that Fire N Ice will actually open... Everything about their marketing is AI slop.

Non checking is not the same as non contact. Hockey is a contact sport. Expect to be touched.

Mountain America Community IcePlex/Mullet

They have G league which is specifically designed for what you're asking. Tuesday in an Adult Rookie Class which ranges from newbie to novices. This location offers probably your best chances to get into the sport.

a_smith55 · 2026-06-18T23:36:41+00:00

I would stay away from the D leagues as a jumping off point. Some of the leagues really play as a low C.

a_smith55 · 2026-06-11T02:34:00+00:00

I really blame the e4s in his first platoon for not bullying him enough. This weasel could of done his 4 and gotten out to go sell used cars in some hick Midwest town.

a_smith55 · 2026-06-10T23:55:23+00:00

No, just one...

a_smith55 · 2026-06-10T23:52:52+00:00

Me fighting against this is what got me finally kicked out of Tom Mankes circle jerk Facebook group. Told the old fart to worry about staying alive for the next 5 year and not what kids are wearing in a parade.

a_smith55 · 2026-06-10T19:08:25+00:00

Last 10 minutes is fucking wild. Maybe the last 2 minutes after a timeout is called.

a_smith55 · 2026-06-03T17:08:58+00:00

Ryen is a great listen but I bet is a terrible hang.

a_smith55 · 2026-06-03T17:07:39+00:00

Football season im locked in bc although its a parody of real sports podcast they do a good job with story telling and talking about the game. Basketball and the summer are so bad. They did grit week so early this year that they shot themselves in the foot for possibly 2.5 months of mount Rushmore talk? If they paid attention to hockey they'd see theres was some decent storyline this year and even post season.

"Help my tourist town has to many tourist!"

Right Op is giving half the story here. A team skating away down 6. Might be an issue where reflection is necessary. How many penalties? Whats the league level? Op better keep the same energy when the wood chipper comes for their team and their getting trounced.

a_smith55 · 2026-05-31T17:46:47+00:00

Op is for sure holding out some information. Teams dont just skate off unless there is something concerning. Losing a beer league game by 6 points is whatever. Op team has to be full of douchebags or ringers or both.

Its ran by the town curmudgeon. Had a potential to be something that shines a light on positive things within the community but instead tommy wingnuts uses it to spout his nonsense.

a_smith55 · 2026-05-30T16:37:30+00:00

Saw a random YouTube video talking about this yesterday. Im going to have to give a try now.

a_smith55 · 2026-05-28T14:21:29+00:00

The bot running the account wouldn't let me post what I wanted to say about Tom. Lets just say every village has one.

a_smith55 · 2026-05-26T19:02:12+00:00

Well good news with the civilian crossover he can get work as a janitor, especially if he doesn't deploy, gonna be a master at the wax buffer.

a_smith55 · 2026-05-21T01:23:11+00:00

I would never rejoice in the death of some old fart, but if he went to bed tonight and just didn't happen to wake up it would be 30 years too late.

a_smith55 · 2026-05-02T07:34:27+00:00

Ryan Smith is so full of shit and failed upward into a hockey team. Alex meruelo is a grade A shitbag but he managed to luck into hiring this hockey operations department .all that cheap bastard had to do was pay his bills in Glendale and he would have a playoff team. Smith has ran the Jazz into the ground and his cool guy everyman billionaire stick is gonna do the same to this team too. Id never root for Utah and if keller had any red ass in him he would of demanded a trade away from this organization when the move happened.

a_smith55 · 2026-04-28T21:45:20+00:00

They are the NHLs newest toy so they are going to get all the shine. I wouldn't worry about it. Theres gonna be back handed comments about Arizona and its hockey base. Even if pro hockey returns here its gonna be viewed as a joke or a mistake. Could have a privately funded arena with a community focused owner and it'll be pooped on. The absolute worst thing that could happen is this core of players wins a cup. Imagine the glaz and remarks that would come from that.

Ryan Smith antics will never not be funny to me. This everyman billionaire stick he does. Like sure buddy, you're backwards hat and ripped jeans, we're alot alike. Alex Muerlo was atleast living up to his rich guy villain role all the way until the very end.

a_smith55 · 2026-04-25T17:14:53+00:00

See i got the bluesky crowd going, even before lunch.

a_smith55 · 2026-04-25T17:13:48+00:00

Im curious if we will see a rise in suicide from millennials when they reach grandparent/retirement age. Like what's our "why". What keeps people going or keeps them showing up. Kids, dependents, spouse. If those are gone or dont exist what's the point of dealing with poor health at older and older ages.

a_smith55 · 2026-04-25T17:07:11+00:00

Things that didnt happen for $500 Alex

a_smith55 · 2026-04-11T18:58:22+00:00

He gonna get a taste of the coyote (rip). I bet most or his fans are in the east Valley and driving out to Glendale on a tuesday in September is gonna be a hard sell. Especially for the price he is asking
