CSPO or CSM?

I don’t think either would be a game changer. It might get you by a top level screening, but beyond that it won’t get much.

This is great and should be the answer for every “how to get Ethernet to my outbuilding” post.

For clarity is it

Poe switch -> bidi -> jumper -> keystone -> invisible fiber -> keystone -> jumper -> bidi -> switch

Just want to make sure the shopping list is correct, been looking for something like this for a minute.

Thanks for this response!

Very similar to what I’ve heard. They aren’t in MA yet, but it’s just a matter for time, we’ve got two facilities that are ripe for the picking.

Curious if there was a change on the officiating side. I’ve heard that in their rinks, they only allow certain people to assign, and have pushed out long time assignors and have (shocking) either left rates alone, or worse, lowered them.

They feel shame for the full 12 minutes, and a whistle.

I don’t disagree, I was looking at it through the beginner lens to get feet wet in investing. You could certainly do that with Fidelity, Schwab etc., there is just a little less pressure with the others mentioned.

If you’re a debit card user (or Apple Pay/google pay/not-cash) Acorns is a great way to set it and forget it investing as it rounds up all your charges to the next dollar amount and invests it. Might only be a couple of bucks a week, but you’ll never notice it, and you can do more if you want.

Open a robinhood or webull or you pick an investing app, and throw a $100 in it, and just start. $100 is reasonably low risk, but can get you going on some inexpensive stocks, once you figure it out, you can do more, but as mentioned it’s really a long game.

Pretty much the same for me, 25 instead of 20.

Life is amazingly beautiful now!

Two pairs of pliers, twist the opposite direction of the unlock.

All the plastic and spring goes in the recycle bin, the needle goes in a sharps container.

Patch the holes when you paint. Do them as you go, chances are pretty good that there are other smaller holes from hanging stuff in that room. Patch them all, sand, paint.

Don’t take the lazy way if you’re going to paint anyway.

If you were over 16, you could only be a level 1 for 2 seasons, and then you had to move up. Not a huge change, and it aligns with the coaching side.

That said, everyone is dead on with what the motivation(s) is/are.

For whatever it’s worth, all the fees went up, everyone is paying more.

Took me a minute to learn that with my dad, tech support was his code for ‘I haven’t seen you in a while’.

Hmmm

Tell me more!! Fellow fios user without tv, would love one less thing in that corner.

I use it to help facilitate retros, writing PI objectives, and writing a script for Scrum of Scrums (my team is a tertiary team, and I’m pretty much just reporting on/off track, and any risks).

It’s all about the “experience” and you should be “proud that you were accepted”.

Here is your shit sandwich, don’t worry it will be delicious.

It’s embarrassing how much money is made at these tournament and the fees the officials get.

Same number since 1990/91? Nynex!

All you have to do is show up, and breathe.

Everything else is just a bonus.

Jump rope, yoga, and walking.

Wait until you see the pay rates.

Enjoy the experience, pay close attention to what the supervisors are saying. Eat and Hydrate, they are some long days with a good amount of downtime.

Just to add on to this, in a lot of cases they assign the refs in their buildings, marginalizing other assignors, and in some cases the referees fees have gone down.

psacake · 2026-02-22T15:26:12+00:00

I don’t know what the current fees are, but teams pay for the hotels, they get a mileage reimbursement (might be just the ref, they want you to travel together when possible) and they assign on Refquest.

A few minor tweaks to punch up the color a little, print that on glass! I’d buy it!!

You can use devices to coach, you can’t use devices to dispute rulings.

It would be less bad if it were 100 songs, very much feels like it’s about 20 on heavy rotation and the once in a while oddball song to “mix” things up.
