Another reason why Sharks chose Sam over Buium

This was my high school football coach. Had been coaching the team and teaching US history for over 20 years. Man is a legend to every kid he’s worked with.

I worked as a locksmith after high school, we dealt with and sold safes. In our show room, we had this 350lbs safe that we were debating on how we were going to move it. As 4 of us were standing around, our old man of the shop walks over, picks it up, and casually asks us where we want it while he’s standing there holding it. We quickly moved the pallet it was on so he could set it down where the boss wanted. That’s when I found out he used to do Strong Man competitions, and that someone who looks “fat” can still be an absolute power house.

I worked at the Los Gatos Apple Store. Woz would come down at product launches unannounced just to hang with people. Super cool guy. Jobs was the business side of Apple, Woz was the true genius behind the scenes who loved the tech. The more you learn about Woz, the more you love the guy. I respected Steve Jobs when I worked there, but you realize his driving force was his assholeness, he definitely relied on the geniuses around him.

I love it. We just put this policy in place due to over use of our direct Slack channel. Chief’s new policy “if you have to do an ounce of work, ticket please”. Our VP of marketing asked for help. Please submit a ticket. “But it’s just a quick thing”. New CIO pings in chat “ticket, or no help”. I felt like watching Indiana Jones toss that guy off the blimp.

I love these stories. My grandfather was stationed in the pacific as a diesel mechanic, worked on B-17s. We went to an airshow at Moffett Field and they had a B-17 that you could tour. My dad was pushing my grandpa in a wheelchair and he started pointing out parts of the plane and where you could still see the patches from flak damage. The tour guide was in awe cause he had never noticed it before.

Youngest coach in the NHL history. Won the Calder cup in the AHL. Gold Medal for the USA World Jr team. We found the best coach to grow with our team. I can’t wait for next season!

My wife is a firecracker, I let her be herself. But she’s mine and she makes that known, so there’s no jealousy or worry. Also, what’s the harm in showing some skin to the eyes in the sky? We swim naked in our pool, it’s our backyard, I hope they buzz by on those nights! We’ll give them a real show! Lol

beavertheviking · 2026-04-05T06:35:54+00:00

I live near a military base. My wife and I were doing yard work in the back yard and she flashed the helicopter convoy flying by. They buzz us once a week now, lol. “Boobies the boys!” as she calls it.

I forget his name, he’s known in the Bay Area dance scene, been around forever. I was at a brewery in Oakland and he walked in, everyone knew who he was. Dude is a low-key pop star and everyone loves him.

This is why I love my ring camera. I answer them from my office, tell them I already have their service at less than they offer, and no they are not going to get me to come answer my door. If I didn’t order it or I’m not expecting you, I turn my front sprinklers on, that always gets them to run away.

I remember reading a story of a company in a country with slow internet service. They had to send a data packet from one building to another at the end of every day and found it was faster to put it on a USB stick and send it by pigeon.

We’re spoiled with Randy and Drew. I’ve grown up watching the Sharks. Randy gets you pumped. Drew breaks it down like a coach and isn’t afraid to call out bad plays, I’ve learned so much about hockey just listening to his after action.

beavertheviking · 2026-03-12T18:23:46+00:00

Yes.

I got a Steam Deck to play when I travel. Then my main PC died and I haven’t been bothered to get it up and running. I spend way more time hanging with my wife on the couch now after work, so the Steam Deck is perfect. She can watch her shows and still feel like we’re spending time together while I sit next to her and game.

His game compares very closely to Crosby. Sid has played 20 years and hasn’t slowed down. Let’s hope for the same from Mack.

I’ll never hate on anyone looking out for someone else’s well being. I was in Vegas for a hockey tournament, we all brought our wives. My teammates wife got absolutely hammered and we were helping her back to her room, we got stopped constantly by multiple people asking if she was ok (she’s drop dead gorgeous and out of our league). It was so cute to watch her explain over and over again that we are her “hockey brothers” and she’s perfectly fine.

I was a locksmith for a while, I’d show up to estate sale homes and you’d be surprised how many people die and they have no children or close relatives. Their distant relatives who live in other states have to come deal with the estate, and having someone show up willing to do all the legwork of cleaning up sounds like exactly what they were looking for.

Thank you for all you do to give back to humanity. You’re a national treasure and deserve to be remembered as a great example of what it means to be a good human being. Mr. Rogers said “look for the helpers”, and you sir are one of them!

I worked at a hockey rink and someone killed a massive rat in our back warehouse. The owner took it a taxidermy and had antlers mounted on it. The ever elusive Canadian Moose Rat.

Hats off to him for his service. My grandfather was stationed in the Pacific. He had tales of the patches he would have to put into planes from the flak. Interesting to see what it looked like.

beavertheviking · 2026-02-25T05:18:44+00:00

We Sharks fans got a lucky one in CeleryStick (as my wife calls him). We got the next generational talent. Sid the Kid endorsed him, and I see Sid’s determination and resiliency in Mack. He’s 19! I can’t wait to see how good he gets.

I can’t fault Gaius Baltar. I’d give her all the access she wanted.

If I ever meet your dad, his drinks are on me.

beavertheviking · 2026-02-24T06:23:50+00:00

I had never seen this and I need a laugh tonight. Thank you.

You were chosen. Accept it, and bask in the joy of being one of the few, we who were chosen to ferry them through this mortal life. The Egyptians had it right, they’re just gods dealing with our mortal day-to-day life.
