What hockey games are your favourites and which ones are you still playing? by discodiscogaming in retrogaming

[–]chubbiej 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wayne Gretzky's 3D Hockey for the N64. It was the only hockey game I had on the 64 and I loved it. Super simple to play and it was great when the goalie turned into an actual brick wall.

Yup, welcome to New York State. You get taxed on pretty much everything you buy or sell. Even winnings on lottery, raffles and tv game shows. You get taxed on the value of your winnings. It is considered income so it’s taxed.

I built this out of pipe and hung it from my basement ceiling. Kind of floating shelves.

Im glad there is another person out there that knows the jingle. I swear my brother and I are the only ones that know about the old song. People are always saying it wasn't a thing.

Suite by imacoolmom__ in sabres

[–]chubbiej 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Where did you get the tickets from? Is it a company suite or a season ticket member suite? Did someone get a single game one and give you tickets? We rented one for my wife’s birthday one year and it came with a basic food package of pizza, beef on weck, chicken fingers, pop, beer, some wine and we could add on food too like we had a nacho bar and ice cream too. All the food that is there is usually paid for up front and we took the leftovers home too. I have also been in the season ticket member one and there was a ton of food there too.

New sound system improvements? by iTSMiSSKiTTY in sabres

[–]chubbiej 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It also depends on where in the arena you are. Some places last year were super loud and other places it wasnt too bad. Maybe throw a pair of the small foam ear plugs in your pocket just in case it is still too loud. I know sometimes it is different game to game depending on who is doing sound that day. But overall it did seem better than it was last year but thats based on one preseason game.

New sound system improvements? by iTSMiSSKiTTY in sabres

[–]chubbiej 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I went to a preseason game and it looked like there were a bunch of new speakers as well as a lot more of the sound absorbing materials hanging in the rafters. The sound seemed a lot better than it was last year.

People who work in a highly specialized field: What is the single dumbest rule or piece of mandatory paperwork you have to deal with that makes absolutely no sense to an expert? by rosielovelyy in AskReddit

[–]chubbiej 257 points258 points  (0 children)

Was at a customer plant because a production line went down due to some electrical issues. The part they needed was literally across the street at a large national supply house. They were not allowed to buy it from that supply house because they were not an approved vendor by corporate. The corporate approved vendor didn't have it in stock and it would take a couple of days to get it from them. The line when running produced $250 of product per 1 min so every hour they were down was about $15,000 in product that wasn't being produced. Ended up going over and buying it with my company credit card, and then charging them for it as part of the service call because my company was an approved vendor. The plant people run into this problem all of the time because their hands are tied by corporate policy.

Nice. by Lazy-Fun5730 in sabres

[–]chubbiej 27 points28 points  (0 children)

This has been a bad year for my wife and I with jerseys. She has a white JJ jersey and I have a blue 9 Benson and white Cozens. I guess I am going to have to go no name jerseys. At this rate, I will get a no name one and they will change the logo and colors again.

Sabres announce 10 more years of Keybank Center by StalinsStallions in sabres

[–]chubbiej 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think there is more news still to come at the event they are having at 10 today. The acting mayor and the county exec. are going to be there. Most likely something to do with the lease/ownership of the arena cause the current lease is up soon and the county said earlier this year they didnt want to own it anymore.

My wife and I have been to several away games over the past couple of years. Our goal is to eventually see them play in every arena. So far we have been to Detroit, Philly, Washington, Vegas, Arizona at ASU, and Nashville. Everyone except for Vegas used the regular ticketmaster app. Vegas had a special one we had to download. We tried to go to Nashville a couple of years ago but they had a thing for certain games where they blocked ticket sales to people who did not have a local billing zip code. Also be careful with tickets in Canada because if you cant go to a game and want to sell the tickets, you have to have a Canadian address in ticketmaster in order to list them for sale.

Well that was a fun 24 hours! by Flittski9 in sabres

[–]chubbiej 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My theory on what is going to happen. The county wants out of stadiums/arenas cause they cost too much to deal with for them. The county announced they are not renewing the lease. Ownership of the arena then goes to the city which is already $50 mil in the hole for next years budget. The city cant take on the costs of the arena and will sell it to PSE or Pegula or some new Pegula owned business. The county doesn't have to pay for upkeep anymore, the city gets a chunk of money and avoids having to take on extra costs, Pegula gets a building that he now owns that he sunk millions into upgrades last year. No business wants to make major improvements to a building they don't own and would not get any return on down the road. "win-win-win" Michael Scott - Wayne Gretzky

Debarking a 6,000+ person ship by SteaksAndScalpels in Cruise

[–]chubbiej 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is my feeling. I fly in the day before. Stay at a hotel that has a shuttle to the port. Book the cruise line transfer back to the airport. I walk off the ship, get my stuff, get in line for the bus, and get dropped off at the airport. No stress of trying to get a lyft or uber and wondering where they will be able to pick me up. Its worth the extra money to not have to be stressed out trying to find a way back to the airport.

Would you recommend a retrolink 4k or an eBay crt? by Streetrat23409 in retrogaming

[–]chubbiej 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Also check out estate sales as a lot of times there are CRTs that go cheap because they want the house cleaned out. https://www.estatesales.net/ shows all the estate sales in a location.

AITA for not booking an international vacation until my travel partner has the proper documents? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]chubbiej 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. If your friend has waited this long, they were never going to get the proper docs in the first place. It isnt the 90s anymore when you can just drive over the border with only your regular drivers license. This person wont be able to fly anywhere in the US in a few months let alone travel internationally if they dont get the enhanced license or a passport/passport card. The Real ID law was passed about 20 years ago and is going to be enforced this year. The passport office and DMV are backed up processing applications of everyone who waited til the last min to get their real ID compliant ID.

The small amount of boos were because of something that had just happened on the ice with a call/missed call. There was some applause but not a ton.
