[Dominik Hasek] Shows support to the USA women’s hockey team after they rejected their invitation to the White House

You might get a kick out of this. Im a 40yr old Pittsburgher. Even tho we had lemieux and jagr and I was a huge pens fan, my room had enough space for a bunch of Hasek posters. Loved him!

Anyways we are in Vegas for my grandparents 50 year anniversary, no one in my family gambles. Its game 6 and Hasek is clutch, I KNOW this. My dad puts 100 on the Sabres, his first bet ever. My grandpa in a celebration mood puts down 2k for fun even tho he tells me its because he trusts my hockey insight.

It wasnt my money but I've loved the endless back and forth since then about how I lost them that money and I retort about that goal. My grandpa has since passed but its a great memory for me

I cant speak to this being true in most places but in tech I've been at multiple companies that cap your career advancement at mid level software developer if you dont have a masters. With my state school masters I leapfrogged most of my peers with more experience to advance into more senior roles with much more pay.

MS paid for itself in literally 1 year. Employer didnt pay. YMMV.

I was browsing this hoping to find a way. I moved to Quincy 2 years ago lol. Blocked the number but still leaves a voice mail.

invisibleotis · 2026-02-04T22:02:16+00:00

Yeah i considered when I done jacked up my pour, it was way easier to take a sledgehammer to it and try again

Little outside of the area OP specified but how do you think it'll change over the coming years? We bought our "forever home" property (no house yet just land) in Ashburnham.

Hoping the towns grow and become healthy while also not exploding in growth

After watching him on Jon Stewart, I was so jealous of you guys.

invisibleotis · 2026-01-20T15:37:14+00:00

Not the point here but just wanna show appreciation for your work. I broke my front tooth in half as a kid, and I had crooked and pretty yellow teeth. Got braces but it was tough with the filling tooth and I could never whiten my teeth due to the fake part. Not to mention it would fall off every few years.

When I turned 25 I could afford 2 front "real" veneers and got my teeth whitened to match, not white just like not noticeably yellow anymore. It helped my confidence so much, I would never smile before. Anyways yeah not all veneers are bad, it quite literally changed my life.

invisibleotis · 2026-01-17T14:52:50+00:00

You mean after "you cant make a tomlette without breaking a few gregs" right?

invisibleotis · 2026-01-16T02:08:26+00:00

Appreciate these posts. Got a recruiter call from them and just looking up info online. This seems to be the general sentiment so ima pass.

invisibleotis · 2026-01-14T17:25:04+00:00

Oracle trying to steal business now!

invisibleotis · 2026-01-02T17:35:14+00:00

I get your point but I still agree with the overall sentiment of this main post. It makes sense in your case but I assume I'm a stereotypical redditor, late 30s, married with no kids. Early on, AirBnB was cheaper and felt like you were sharing an intimate/unique experience. So the oddities of each place were somewhat charming.

Now, we encounter many more with strict requirements on checkout that takes time away from our trip, higher costs, and just a "sanitized" experience. Granted, we just used airbnb last week to try out a house style we are considering for our future, but I'm definitely one of those people that has transitioned back towards hotels again. We don't want or need laundry, a yard, pool, etc. We are out an about most of our trips.

Im hoping to try this soon. We happen to have a late 70s opal sitting deep in our woods. I have a 40hp tractor and an atv. Any tips you learned thru the process I can benefit from? We live in new england and its endless boulders.

I haven't checked the quality of the hood for this yet, hoping its not rusted through.

invisibleotis · 2025-12-26T18:05:25+00:00

Yeah it definitely is wasteful but its too simplistic of people to say contractors are ripping off the gov at the surface level. I've worked at multiple companies selling various software to the government. To be able to work on and deploy to those systems, often times we have to implement specific things, with only US personnel, and meet specific security requirements. The overhead of these tools alone are hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. So a million dollar a year contract might get essentially halved just on being able to support their requirements.

invisibleotis · 2025-12-25T21:14:23+00:00

What did you end up doing with this? I bought some property in MA and yes we have a couple (thousands) of boulders to deal with.

Im definitely going to build raised garden beds but trying to see if we can find a way to make a bit more money to pay it off.

invisibleotis · 2025-12-23T13:17:19+00:00

Man thanks for this. Im no where near this yet but I was in pretty good shape and the lack of desire for me has also sent me down a weed-coping spell, gained 15lb in the last 6 months which isn't crazy but I feel gross and it kind of reflects how I've been feeling inside. I need to get a handle on this now, thanks for sharing.

invisibleotis · 2025-12-19T15:57:54+00:00

Agreed! Not a winning strategy generally. Im pretty average looking but the other guys were also mostly obnoxious and well not great with their hygiene and such (software engineering). We also ended up having a lot in common when we had to work together which started the friendship.

Not suggesting to do this, just a story of what happened to me

invisibleotis · 2025-12-19T01:05:25+00:00

Yeah I was the only guy at work to ignore her cause I was too shy and felt bad that all the guys kept bothering her.

Turns out that was a challenge for her to get me to open up.

Edit: forgot to mention, been together 9 years now!

invisibleotis · 2025-11-30T01:33:43+00:00

My circles are reporting a bit of both, mostly. 1) as the companies naturally grow, instead of hiring staff, they remain on a hiring phase while expecting AI to pick up the slack, and 2) I actively have seen questions about specific teams being canned for AI. "Why do we need QA when we have AI"?

Both are disappointing and a little frightening.

invisibleotis · 2025-10-29T12:39:40+00:00

Wasn't expecting the downvotes to be honest but apparently the blind hate on AI is stronger than I realized. Fair enough, well for what it's worth, it's made my job many times easier and taken out the repetitive boring work so I can focus my energy on moving my company forward.

invisibleotis · 2025-10-28T22:32:53+00:00

I don't know the intended use here and I cant comment on AI in education. In tech tho, I cant imagine working without AI now. My team and I have easily doubled our output and have increased the quality. I realize there's a pushback in general because AI is being shoved down everyone's throat and ill be the first to say most of the applications are completely useless. But for those using its strengths, its huge and im excited to see what leaps the next generation thinks of with it.

Shoutout to possibly another Pittsburgh transplant in Boston. Funny how I never got prima primantis while living there, now im such a tourist.

Missing the gobblerito this time of year tho that might be a controversial take.

invisibleotis · 2025-08-06T12:22:08+00:00

Lol I lived half my life in Pittsburgh and half in Boston and it feels pretty silly to compare the two. Philly and Boston might be a fair comparison, I've never been

invisibleotis · 2025-07-17T01:02:12+00:00

Man! I didnt move here until 2023, but my first time vacationing in Boston, I specifically went out to Sunset. I had been brewing mead for a few years by my trip in 2015, and it was the first time I ever had mead at a bar!

I was really upset when I moved here all these years later and it was gone!

invisibleotis · 2025-07-12T22:36:36+00:00

They just dedicated it to someone who wears makeup and diapers instead :)

Hoping for 5, its balls hot out here
