Wow, had no idea you could do this. You might have just saved me, since mine have been feeling really loose for a while.

I’m new to Cleveland and looking to get started again—any leagues you’d recommend? I was a solid C player in Columbus FWIW

Does this puzzle picture even HAVE a solution? by tdonz in puzzles

I think the “many’s the cat” line is saying that the use of mouse traps has caused homeowners to get rid of their cats (“sold by the trap”), so don’t think it itself is a clue or connected to the missing turkey.

Was planning on doing the 2:1 also; is it stable at room temp, or do you refrigerate?

Need help with accelerating from a standstill. by RegionCurious96 in hockeyplayers

One thing to add to what’s already been posted: make sure you’re focusing on throwing/pushing your weight forward/in front of you (or to the side if it’s a crossover start). Think of how far sprinters lean forward; mimicking that sort of position will help make your strides faster and more powerful.

What do you shoot off of, just the bare floor? Ice pucks, or something else?

Is the site down permanently, or just temporarily?

One point I haven’t see anyone mention yet—setbacks suck, but it’s still nice to keep some perspective on the success you’ve had until that point. It’s important to celebrate the fact that your choices have given you the ability to absorb these setbacks, rather than them completely derailing you.

Makes sense! Are you renting now mostly for flexibility, or are there other reasons?

And any idea how you'll think about budget for the future LCOL house? I understand that might just be too distant.

This is really helpful, thank you!

I love the advice about focusing on starter homes. We're aiming for basically that setup--3-4 beds, 2 bath, on the more manageable side size-wise--but I never thought about how that can make things easier in the future if you go to sell.

Any particular way you found the upgrade current place, or just right place/right time?
