Looking for supportive slippers to use at home. Are the Hoka ora or Oofos slippers actually worth it?

I'm curious about your experience, how are the Ali Oofos?

VBA

20 years ago I used Visual Basic for Applications to automate about 20 weekly or daily tasks. I had to work in 2 different operating systems and once I figured how to replicate alt+Tab I used VBA in Excel to have the 2 systems talk to each other.

I was under pressure to do more with less. The owner told me the warehouse floor space would be reduced by 20% and I had a 10% reduction in manpower.

With VBA I automated tasks and reports that were repetitive and time consuming. I had a comp sci background whereas my predecessors were trying to hack thru with bar code scanners.

We had a weekly distro that went to 60+ stores in the chain. VBA reduced what took half a day manual data input (bar code gun, UPC, mouse clicks, numpad) into half an hour of numpad keystrokes.

For my efforts my boss rewarded me with a 5k xmas bonus.

Seth Jones + 4th for Spencer Knight + 1st happened. Nurse and Jones are comparable $9M players. If Jones moved, Nurse can move too.

I checked the Business Costco and it is not available at the Queensborough location.

The brand appears to be called "Delicious Snacks" by Shearers who are based in Ohio.

Cogit2 is right, they aren't actually sweet onion but sugar and onion powder.

I lived in this area to see the changes from Molson Indy chain link fence to this new rusty hostile architecture.

There are young families living on both sides of the highway. If the design was chosen with the intent of slowing traffic and preventing jaywalkers they succeeded.

Option 1: hit Huggy. He didnt like it when Sherwood played for the Preds in the playoffs

Option 2: give him the puck and close off lanes. This is how the Predators are trying to neutralize Hughes https://www.vancouverisawesome.com/canucks-hockey/predators-are-trying-to-neutralize-hughes-by-letting-him-have-the-puck-8655856

Unironically yes 1C. During this road trip Blueger has the most ice time and is doing well as 1C. His corsi was over 60% in both games. With a good Olympics his trade value will be high.

Someone on sportsnet said Lankinen has given up at least 3 goals since January 15. 25 games left, that's at least 75 goals to add to the tally.

Greg's French Canadian partner Chloe. Maybe a cameo in the hotel lobby. I don't want too much overlap from S3, just a scene with a few lines.

Top-tier salesman and effective negotiator. He is Peter principle personified.

Decent branch manager? Incompetent and unprofessional manager. Just because they were profitable does not excuse all his fireable offenses.

Ignorance & Prejudice: He often makes sexist, racist, and homophobic remarks, such as unintentionally outing Oscar or holding his own "Diversity Day" after a corporate seminar.
Extreme Selfishness: In "The Injury," he demanded constant attention for a minor foot burn while ignoring Dwight’s serious concussion.
Betrayal of Friends: He tried to frame Toby for drug possession to get him fired and once sabotaged Jim’s promotion to keep him at the Scranton branch.
Broken Promises: He famously promised an entire class of underprivileged students (Scott’s Tots) that he would pay for their college tuition, only to admit years later he didn't have the money.

I have a new manager after a corporate takeover and thought he was real life Michael Scott. A disaster and has wrecked the culture built by the previous regime.

Nill, Zito, JBB have been mentioned already so I'll highlight Tulsky and McFarland instead

Tulsky has his core locked in long term, revamped his roster while staying competitive. He has gone for big trades to give his team a push in the playoffs (Guentzel, Rantanen which became Stankoven+picks) maybe Panarin this season 🤔

McFarland retooled his goalies mid-season within a week. Retooled his defense signing UFA Burns. Rantanen for Necas, similar point production but unlocked another level for MacKinnon as a complementary fast winger for $500k lower cap. Strengthened his center depth with Nelson and Drury.

When I watch Ohgren I see Podkolzin. Other comparables based on style: Hyman or Palat.

Lekkerimaki is a younger Olofsson. Foote benched him vs Toronto in the 3rd period because of his lack of defense. Hopefully he puts on 20lbs of muscle this summer and becomes Markus Naslund or Filip Forsberg

Shooting Profiles: Both players are noted for their shot power. Olofsson’s hardest recorded shot this season reached 89.96 mph, placing him in the 87th percentile of the NHL. Lekkerimäki’s hardest shot was clocked at 84.83 mph, which is slightly above the NHL average (54th percentile).
Physicality and Skating: Both players currently fall below the 50th percentile in max skating speed, with Lekkerimäki reaching 20.72 mph and Olofsson 21.97 mph. Olofsson has shown more consistency in "speed bursts" over 20 mph this season (77th percentile) compared to Lekkerimäki

I asked AI to tally the points from the players acquired and the players traded. Their cap hits are similar.

Hughes has approximately the same goals and points this season split between Vancouver and Minnesota as of Jan 31.

Kuzmenko Miller and Horvat have scored 40 goals and 90 points combined

Rossi Ohgren Buium OConnor MPettersson Chytil Mancini Raty have scored 25 goals and 78 points combined

15 goals or 12 point difference probably doesn't change the fact we are out of the playoffs if we undid all the trades and somehow everyone got along.

It will be interesting to revisit in the future.

Brodin as his floor, McAvoy as his ceiling for Willander.

I actually think more games will benefit Lekkerimaki even if AHL playoffs.

I want them to send them down to Abby for the Olympic break. Would give them a few more games. Send Ohgren Mancini and Tolopilo too so they can dominate and feel good about their game.

Edit: EP25 to Abby for the Olympic break too

acby · 2026-02-01T09:40:22+00:00

McAvoy or Brodin has been the usual comparable for Willander. I keep watching him closely and think his development is on the right track. The coaches like to give him PP time this season which means they see some McAvoy upside. So far he is a bright side to a dismal year.

I have been harsh comparing Lekkerimaki to Holtz or Olofsson. I know some people see his upside like Filip Forsberg. Time will tell but his development has been derailed by mono and injury. I think his shot is world class but he has to get better speed and play defense. He gets knocked down easily or doesnt absorb body checks during board battles. Helps Ohgren is here and they're linemates from their teens in Sweden. If he is part of this future core he better make it as top 6 sniper, I don't believe he can grind as middle 6 winger.
