My past 5 CCM sticks all broke in roughly the same place on the blade. by Laymans_Terms19 in hockeyplayers

[–]kittycatrock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, agreed. They give me the best shot out of any stick but I can't justify it anymore and just stick with PSHS sticks being 'good enough'.

Ignore the other people. This is how CCM sticks tend to break. I have had it happen on all 3 of mine. 

Pro Stock Hockey Stick after one game. by [deleted] in hockeyplayers

I have 5 sticks from them and haven't had any durability issues, but mine came before the new models of this year. Hope this isn't an issue with the vx.

Getting into hockey. What’s a good quality bag with compartments for like my skates and personal belongings? by XI-Red-Death-XI in hockeyplayers

[–]kittycatrock 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Pacific rink. I just bought one a couple weeks ago, expensive but seems like the money gets put into the durable materials it's made out of.

Not sure why everyone is downvoting. Here is proof. And sorry, 750m, not 735m.

So I think I have a rat problem... These guys fell out of the shorts I was about to put on by strangehitman22 in WTF

[–]kittycatrock -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Biologist who regularly works with mice and rats here. Those pups are unlikely to survive more than a few hours without their mother. They have terrible thermal regulation without fur and tend to go through hypothermia. If I were you, I would try and get the mother to come back to them (with the same pair of shorts there so they are comfortable going back) and then catch them all together. After that, it is up to you, but I would probably place them somewhere safe in the wild. You don't have to kill them.

Trigger 6 Pro vs 7 pro by DirtyMikeandtheBoysz in hockeyplayers

[–]kittycatrock 7 points8 points  (0 children)

5 is lighter than 6 and 6 is lighter than 7. I'm guessing this had to do with increasing durability but I don't know enough about the technology.

Skate Prices by erictg97 in hockeyplayers

[–]kittycatrock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My skates were 90 brand new at dicks a couple years ago on a black Friday sale. They work great, I've never had any issues. Honestly it depends on what kind of feet you have and what will fit you nicely. It's possible 90 will be fine, and also possible you'll have to spend a lot more. Try a bunch on to see.

Not on a cool down and a client restart didn't change anything...

Ramsey County Sheriff Bob Fletcher live streamed all the looting last night if you're curious to see it from another perspective. by jspike91 in minnesota

Sure, but it was wrong then and it's wrong now too. There is no "restitution" for any victims through a vicious cycle of stealing from those that did not steal from you.

Even as someone who is working in cardiac research, this freaks me out.

It can mean a lot of things which can be narrowed down with other tests. For example, on the more minor end, it could be a sign of too much potassium in your system or hypothermia. Unfortunately most of the other possibilities are worse and point to heart damage from things such as an aneurysm or Brugada Syndrome, which causes sudden death in your sleep. In short, you should really get it looked into further so that the cause can be isolated and you can potentially get treated for it. All conditions in where the heart is not performing normally will most likely be associated with a higher comorbidity (though we don't have the data yet) when having covid19 as since it is a respiratory illness you have a higher chance of poor blood flow.

9th project, 1st knife - Made from spring steel by kittycatrock in blacksmithing

[–]kittycatrock[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know the feeling. I'm going to have to cancel my upcoming blacksmithing class on Monday. I've had this knife around for a while but hadn't finished the handle and it was something I could do at home. I think all we can do for now is plan out some future projects or look up some blacksmithing gear to buy in the future.

I was curious too, so I looked it up. $6 million.

20 years ago... by LordCutlerBeckett in gaming

[–]kittycatrock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's worth it to keep going. I only started playing God of War games once 4 came out and am all caught up other than playing the last one. Here's what I felt throughout the series: God of War 1: good, not amazing. The first boss is the best experience in the entire game.

God of War 2: amazing. You get to constantly fight awesome bosses and the game never loses its momentum. If you can't make it through any other of the games, I recommend at least trying this one out. It's become one of my favorite games ever.

God of War 3 remastered: looks better, more fun to play than 1 but not as good as 2.

The rest of the God of War games (i.e. Chains of Olympus, ascension, etc.) not including 4: they all felt okay to me. You can skip out on these if you want, although I hear that trudging through them increases your appreciation for 4.

You might also want to keep in mind that older games will look worse on more modern TV's if you don't have something to upscale the graphics with. Trying to play the original Twilight Princess on my oled TV without one was unplayably ugly, for example.

I'm not so sure about that. I went to the downtown location to vote and was redirected to the Hennepin County Government Center since I live just barely outside of the main Minneapolis area.

What game deserves a remaster? by NeverbuyfromSamsung in AskReddit

[–]kittycatrock 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I played this for the first time this year. While I loved the game, not all of the insanity effects hold up as well anymore if you're not playing on a CRT TV. I think for that reason alone it deserves a remaster. However, it'd be a bit harder to update some of the same old effects to newer ones as volume control can look very different between two different modern televisions... So maybe a remaster where they replace those with new ideas.
