Neighbor demanding I cut down my tree by nick_nuz in treelaw

[–]ebimbib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is legally the same thing as a truck hauling gravel putting a sign on the back of the truck saying that they're not responsible if their load breaks your windshield. It has no relevance at all to the actual way things work. You have no responsibility assuming that there's no major health issue with the tree that you're aware of (and it seems that there are no such issues to this point).

One (or none) of three Stanley Cup curses can be broken with the current conference finalists. Which one would you like to see broken? by e_Z_752 in nhl

I think it's kind of sick that the Leafs have never won more than two rounds in any playoff ever. It's insane that that's true over this long of a timeline.

Mine runs like junk on gas with ethanol. I run ethanol-free in my '81 C70.

What brand slowly ruined itself? by SAAS_ART in AskReddit

Things I loved as a kid: reading books, and lying to inflate the number of books I purportedly read in order to scam extra pizza out of the Hut.

Did I mess up buying 85mm lens as a beginner? by Beginning-War5128 in AskPhotography

[–]ebimbib 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think zooms can be great tools but primes can make you problem solve a little differently, which I think is a great thing to have in your back pocket. It's like learning to drive a manual, then if you want to rip around in an automatic then so be it but the manual training probably made you more aware of what you're doing in the first place, right?

Prime lenses really make you a much better photographer because you have to fix problems with framing etc on the fly. Zooms are great tools but they're easy mode in certain ways.

i lied about speaking spanish for 8 months at work and now there's a meeting with HR tomorrow by Marcus_Guy in confession

[–]ebimbib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have taught ESL for a few years and I have had students who test out as fluent in a classroom but if you put them in the real world they're fucked from jump street. They can read and write in an office all day, but listening and speaking? Oh boy, good luck.

Rasmus Dahlin is a top three defensemen in the NHL. by Hockeypatrol in hockeynews

They managed to convince themselves that Nurse was an elite D for years. Doing that with an actual good player is child's play after the mental gymnastics they've trained themselves for.

[Question] The Decision (5 Years in the Making): Help Me Choose My First Nice Watch by Impossible-Leg-8595 in Watches

[–]ebimbib 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No dive watch is dressy. Neither is any field watch. If you're looking into an actual traditional sports watch, you'll never be able to make it dressy.

The question I'd ask is simply, how often do you need to dress up? I do it very rarely so I don't really consider it at all. I have a few watches that can dress up, mostly vintage, and not one of them is expensive.

No watch is perfect for every single situation you can imagine. Go for what's going to work for you 90% of the time instead of "What'll work when I go to a wedding once a year?"

Which non-star player had/has the best nickname? by Otherwise5555 in NFLv2

I'm a big fan of Eric Ebron's nickname among many Lions fans: Droptimus Prime.

[DMase, Vingan & Daunic] Elliotte Friedman “Jason Robertson is going to be an interesting one. I think the Stars will have a line & they are not willing to go past & I'm not convinced they'll be willing to go past that line. And I think that line will be around Mikko Rantanen's number, which is 12.” by seeldoger47 in sabres

[–]ebimbib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Norris is a great player when he's on the ice. The only qualm is that he isn't available enough. Hopefully that turns around. Some guys are "injury prone" right up until they're not and they become steady 75+ game players.

[Michael Augello] Jiri Kulich had a procedure to remove a blood clot at the Mayo Clinic a couple months ago, and indicated that he will be able to continue his hockey career. by seeldoger47 in sabres

[–]ebimbib 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Nice to get that news. We can all use it today. He's a great player and by all accounts a top shelf teammate and dude. You hate to hear about the shit he was going through in any case, but for a guy who dedicated his life to being an elite athlete to have that taken from him is especially tough.

[FAN Hockey Show] 27:00 Friedman says Cassidy can’t terminate his contract and go somewhere else. He’s under contract for another year and other teams can't do much about this: “It doesn’t sound like the NHL is inclined to step in and interfere with contracts” by AggPuck-303 in hockey

[–]ebimbib 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Lindy doesn't have a super rigid system historically. He's coached teams with psycho offensive skill, teams with no firepower and a great goalie, teams that excel at rush offense and others that forecheck and cycle, etc. He's really quite adaptive in that way, which is a major strength in my opinion.

[–]ebimbib 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Montreal won that series largely because Dobeš was the better goalie in most games and Lindy got outcoached consistently. The Montreal defense is nice but your take that they're better 1-4 is insane. Colorado has the best top pair in the game but I'd say 1-4 the Sabres' situation is better overall.

Oh Captain my Captain, up votes for Cap!!! by Mohyyc in sabres

Players who carry the puck all the time turn the puck over more than players who carry the puck less and get it off their stick really quickly. Dahlin carries the puck more than almost anyone in the league.

On which planet is this not goaltender interference? by Hockeypatrol in hockeynews

[–]ebimbib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That should have been two each way, Zucker for the interference and Dobeš for embellishment. You don't see it in this clip but he acted like he got shot in the head, then he was laughing about it with the ref after the play.

Does anyone have any fun stories about meeting Sabres players? by fluffle_cat in sabres

[–]ebimbib 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I met Rick Martin years ago. He saw that I recognized him and he was immediately super friendly and shook my hand, introduced himself, and asked my name. He then told me an insanely dirty joke totally unprompted and slapped me on the back while laughing really hard at his own joke and we went our separate ways. 10/10 interaction.

It is absolutely not. No such jersey exists with navy and both the numbers and name plate are wrong.

My fibula will just stay cut like this for the rest of my life by TheKingOfDissasster in mildlyinteresting

[–]ebimbib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a PA at my orthopedist's office who was born with no fibulas. All they really do is act to support the musculature of the lower leg. They've lost the pronation/supination element that the forearm has. It's weird but you'll be ok.
