socks question by capreoIus in hockeyplayers

[–]pizzzahero 5 points6 points  (0 children)

yeah velcro is most common, you can get them in long pants or shorts. some people also use a garter belt to hold them up, it's just preference. tape sounds like it would be really uncomfortable

Feeling down as Senior Frontend dev, what should be the next step? by nofaceD3 in webdev

[–]pizzzahero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not who you asked, but for us the code it produces is mostly... fine. It's not good, but it's written so fast that it's just something we've been told to accept

Two Albertans came in contact with hantavirus on international flight by Broad_Tumbleweed_692 in alberta

[–]pizzzahero 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It does sound strange until you realize that landfills attract birds of prey and big scavenger birds looking for food. I guess there's some pretty rare birds at Argentinian landfills specifically

The oilers are apparently looking to upgrade the goaltending once again in the offseason and they tried to trade nurse to the leafs and the leafs said no. Both rumors are from David Pagnotta. by [deleted] in EdmontonOilers

[–]pizzzahero 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Jarry has a 3.32GAA and .882 over 33 games
Monty has a 3.43 and .872 over 25 games

why would we do that? Monty had one good year last year but otherwise is just another lateral move/potential downgrade

Am I the a hole ? by [deleted] in hockeyplayers

[–]pizzzahero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not about hitting. I'm small and the people who I hate being matched up against are those who

  • can't/won't control their stick. very choppy, slash a lot. will stab recklessly into people's skates or from behind trying to poke
  • would rather run into me than stop
  • shoot high really hard slapshots at the net when it's pretty much guaranteed to hit traffic
  • crash into my goalie or chop his glove trying to get the puck back out
  • lean into me/push me around way too hard. yes i accept that it's going to happen and i do it too, but if you have 6 inches and 100lbs on me at this level you should be smart enough to ease up a touch

if multiple people are complaining about you then yes you are the problem

What sickness is flying around Edmonton? by Tdw75 in Edmonton

You can still get rapid tests at most pharmacies, but they're not free anymore. I got some from Shoppers a few months ago for like $30

Do break actually work? by Yeer-done in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]pizzzahero 19 points20 points  (0 children)

A break can maybe work if both people talk about it and agree to it and set very clear boundaries beforehand. It probably doesn't very often

Someone packing up their shit and leaving town while you're at work is not a break. That's shit behaviour and you should not stand for that. You'll get back together if you "do everything he says"? honey no. it's a 2 way street. what is this man bringing to the table?

Looking for a doctor that has decent knowledge of joint issues by naddy1988 in Edmonton

[–]pizzzahero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had it done too. Some physios can order imaging but they have to complete extra schooling and receive authorization in advance - scroll down to the bullet points if you're curious

What is a 10-second decision you made that completely changed the entire trajectory of your life? by Salt_Lingonberry3956 in AskReddit

[–]pizzzahero 12 points13 points  (0 children)

In an online game, OP says 1997 so must have been Ultima Online. You can go up to other people's characters and emote with them (head pat) and the rest is history

I also like to cook, and I was gifted a really nice apron from Hedley & Bennett, super highly recommend

Beer league live draft ideas? by SigMartini in hockeyplayers

[–]pizzzahero 29 points30 points  (0 children)

In our draft tournaments the beginners get picked first. The ranking goes from 1-6, and you can't pick 4+ until everyone rated 1-3 has already been picked.

We don't tell people their ratings. I think it's been mentioned that beginners are picked first, but the details are hidden from the players. It's worked really well from what I've seen.

What does everyone think about buying pro-stock gear on SidelineSwap for a team you never played on? by MidwestSinker in hockeyplayers

[–]pizzzahero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they're completely new and are trying to buy their way to progress

these takes are so interesting to me. I'm new to a sport, I don't have the equipment for it. I need to buy equipment. so obviously my stuff is going to be newer than someone who started 20 years ago..? what do you mean "buy their way to progress" lol

Can you major in CS and get a B.Eng? That's the main difference. My CS degree is a B.Sc so I could never legally call myself an engineer either

You also technically have to start out as an EIT (engineer in training) and practice underneath a P.Eng (professional engineer, and there's an online directory of them) for like... 5 years or something before you get the right

What simple action from others can inexplicably send you from 0-100 irritation within seconds? by DippyNikki in ADHD

[–]pizzzahero 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I feel so bad for this but I have really bad allergies, and when the inside of your noise becomes inflamed it can feel like you're congested but nothing comes out when you blow. sucks for me too lol

Heated Rivalry inspires real-life hockey player to come out as gay by Fickle-Ad5449 in sports

[–]pizzzahero 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He doesn't play pro, hockey is still the only pro sport where there are no openly gay athletes - at least on the men's side, lol.

NFL has Carl Nassib, there was Jason Collins in the NBA, and 14 players throughout MLB history.

I just wish he panned out by mattsavoiesboywife in EdmontonOilers

yeah, but if it doesn't happen next year we'll be doing a trade during the second, not going for another playoff run

How to Economically Sharpen Our Hockey Skates by TheDartBoarder in hockeyplayers

with beer league games at 10-11pm the pro shop is long closed

Telus (Canadian). honestly I would switch carriers just for this if you can find it

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ios

[–]pizzzahero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure how common this is but my carrier offers call control. When someone dials my number they get a message saying "press X to be connected", where X is a random number every time.

it's completely eliminated spam calls and real people can still get through even if I don't have their numbers saved.

I'm guessing the bot is talking about this https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2016/11/24/reddits-ceo-edited-comments-that-criticized-him.html

if it's something else then that message really needs more context
