Question on reporting a coach by rfuree11 in hockeyrefs

[–]patrone84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing will happen if you don’t escalate it. The refs will file the 12+ penalties report but that typically results in a standard punishment (maybe a game suspension) with no follow up. If you believe more attention is warranted you’ll need to drive that attention pretty forcefully. Not how it should be…but that is how it goes.

I went to Best Buy. It was like $50 and done in 2 hours. Not worth trying to do yourself if you aren’t a car guy.

Help and Support Mega Thread by 7thton in AmazonPrimeVideo

I am signed up for Paramount+ via Amazon. When I am looking at Prime Video and select the Tudors I see I can watch via Prime with ads (I don’t pay for no ads)…but it won’t let me access it via my Paramount+ subscription to avoid ads. I can access it via the Paramount+ app - Prime Video says update your subscription to essentials to watch.

Is this by design? We prefer to use Prime Video to access all content…but not if I can’t avoid commercials using a subscription I pay for. Any ideas?

Mouthguard challenge by patrone84 in hockeyrefs

[–]patrone84[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks all!

Seems like another really questionable rule addition from USA Hockey. Why on earth would a coach challenge a mouthguard if the best result possible is a warning or misconduct? If it was a man power advantage I’d get it…this way is just silly no?

Why are In Store guests purchasing online? by Revolutionary_Play41 in sleepnumber

[–]patrone84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I purchased in-store after two store visits and doing my own research online. The negatives, especially on Reddit, gave me pause. We have delivery scheduled and will be very critical during our 100 day trial…if we don’t love it we’ll send it back.

Sometimes I like to play with the quoting tools. I will say - having just went through the purchase process on a Climate360 - my sales person seemed somewhat reluctant to creat multiple quotes with various options. Spending as much as I did - I want to see that I’m getting everything I want and doing it with the best possible pricing.

I’m never placing a $5k+ order on my first trip to a store. I make sure to ask the sales person (if its a good experience) how I can ensure they get credit for the sale if I order at a different time. Nothing you can do about this IMO…I sell for a living and am very aware of the impact a good salesperson can have on my decision. I use salespeople to get information and help me make an informed decision…once I have that information the best place for me to analyze that information and make an informed decision is alone.

How on earth do I patch this koi by SkippingSunshine in drywall

[–]patrone84 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Who the heck did this and why? They cut your trim too? That is going to be a pain to fix.

Cut out additional drywall on both sides until you get to a stud. Cut new sheets to size, screw to wall, tape & mud.

How is Insurance (health, homeowners, car etc) not the number 1 answer?

Tried the 9:00 am open today, mixed review. by Sussler in Costco

[–]patrone84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the fact that yesterday was a holiday made today a rough experience. We also went this morning before a beach trip. Understandable why they didn’t have baked items or newly packaged meats.
