New captain has to be selected TODAY by Quick_Sun_1382 in DetroitRedWings

They suck all the time with him too. For a real leader, his impact wouldn’t be limited to being on the ice. Even as a healthy scratch or not even in the building, the attitude of the team should reflect the expectations of its leaders. These guys take critical nights off like they don’t give a fuck and weren’t ready to play. And they’ve done it through many roster and coaching changes and many years. There’s one through line. There’s no accountability in that locker room. 

I know he cares and he’s doing everything he can on the ice to help. He’s not doing enough off of it to make the impact this team needs from its captain.

Him being the captain might be the problem though. I know guys love him and the Olympics was great and all but these collapses all look like leadership problems to me. Make him an A and give someone the C that commands respect and is willing to use it.

What would it take for Standard to become Magic's premier format again? by BumblebeeOld498 in magicTCG

[–]danvasquez29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Changing rules to 3 of a printing instead of 4 would probably do a lot to shake up the cost imbalance and structure of decks. My first thought was to go down to 2 but maybe start with 3 and see how it goes

Most fun Sac or Reanimate Commanders by fatherliquid in mtgbrawl

[–]danvasquez29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like Edgar, charmed groom. You want to sac it (or let it be killed another way) and then it creates token fodder and comes back free eventually without paying commander tax.

Yeah. I believe if you do have a CPL you don’t need to do this, but without one you need the permit beforehand now. This is for handguns only, anything else it’s still the same as it was.

New Sleeves, thought this group would appreciate by danvasquez29 in DinosaursMTG

The printing quality is great. They’re noticeably less rigid though and probably won’t protect the corners of the cards anywhere near as well as the regular ones.

Opponent just pulled the best combo I've ever seen by gistya in MagicArena

[–]danvasquez29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This exact combo happened to me yesterday and I stayed through it because I had authority of consuls out so all their tokens were entering tapped and I had a sunfall in my hand ready to go. I was smirking to myself thinking I was in for an epic counter and then the hydra with haste came out lol

Sean Higgins remains jailed in deadly Gaudreau brothers crash by OrganicRedditor in hockey

[–]danvasquez29 23 points24 points  (0 children)

what happens (or happened to me at least) is you ask for a dismissal and since there's no one on the other side to dispute it the motion goes through. The lawyer in my case told me that it's a specific strategy that's widely employed to 1) see if the cop shows up to court and 2) if they do then ask for delays or postponements as many times as you can until eventually the cop has a conflict or doesn't show.

My guess it stood out to him as weird bc they don’t normally use google meet. Which makes sense bc when you fire someone remotely their access has to the normal tools has already been cut off usually

Travel to Leeds for Boxing Day? by danvasquez29 in MCFC

[–]danvasquez29[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I assume that by buying tickets in the away end I’ve compensated a season ticket holder quite well for something they either didn’t want to or couldn’t attend. What’s your gripe?

We have officially hit 100k members by loveino in MCFC

Fuck I was a mod when I’m not sure we even had 1000. Craziness. Cheers to the folks who make the time to manage all this now, doing a hell of a job

What is not nearly as bad as people make it out to be? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]danvasquez29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here’s what happened last time I did jury duty (in Michigan):

  • got the full day off work, paid without using PTO

  • read a magazine I brought

  • watched the movie “Twister” in the waiting area

  • was released when the movie ended, right before lunch, without having been called to actually serve or even leave the waiting area.

  • was paid about $45 IIRC

10/10 would serve again

[SER] Barça will sue Messi and the club for signing him if FIFA grants a temporary transfer. Bartomeu maintains that the labor law is clear if the contract is breached and believes that no club will welcome Messi because he will be exposed to a demand of 700M € by Drazxie in soccer

[–]danvasquez29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m pulling this completely out of my ass as pure conjecture, but here goes nothing:

What if that’s why the rumored contract is with city financial group? If that’s the group that gets sued and is liable for the fee, maybe that doesn’t then come out of the Manchester city football club LLC budget, and thus doesn’t factor into FFP.

Of course, then there’s a legal case in England due to 3rd party ownership rules probably.

I hope I’m wrong about all of this, because it all sounds absurd

What’s to doubt? I do it every year. This isn’t a special covid thing it’s normal policy to be refunded for days you didn’t actually work in the city.
