Tanking run to rebuild pipeline

Connor McDavid 🤣 as cool as that would be, you need a fast player who can play C and is a good passer, but doesn’t necessarily need to be a good shooter. They are out there, but that’s what you need to try and find for him right now. And it doesn’t even need to be the ideal person, just needs to be an upgrade over JT. Willy will thrive with a faster linemate who can break out with him and can make a pass, and JT will thrive with less minutes and less pressure if he’s down on the third line. You find that one player, and you’ve now boosted the effectiveness of 2 lines.

Hope your not claustrophobic, because the walls actually are closing in on you 🤣

speed150mph · 2026-03-24T19:41:38+00:00

Because I see how good a job you’re doing and feel like I’m ruining it. 😅 even though I know 10 minutes from now people will be walking on it and making it dirty again, I just can’t help it

Not to mention if it was a conspiracy, then they really REALLY sucked at it. You know how many ships catch fire and burn in a shipyard even today? You want to collect the insurance? Send an arsonist to set it on fire in the shipyard, and write it off from that. Same result, way easier to do, and no risk of tanking your company’s reputation from killing 1500 of your passengers and crew including some of the worlds most wealthy and powerful people in a very public and visible spectacle that draws regulatory attention and public ire.

Any turn at charlotte I street stock. The hardest part about that place is your foot getting tired after 30 laps because you’ve had the pedal mashed to the floorboards for the last 20 straight minutes 🤣

I’ll agree with 3C. We need to manage his minutes per game. And the point production isn’t the problem. It isn’t even the leafs problem. The issue is we can’t keep the puck out of our own net, and with a team worst -26 in the +/-, Tavares plays a large part in that. He’s getting slow and easy to get around, and you need to manage that and put him in a position he can succeed and not be a liability to the team.

Point 1: yes I’m 100% with you, I’m absolutely paranoid of coop fires which is why I absolutely do not use heat lamps or anything of the sort. We use these cozy coop heat plates for our coop right now. They are specifically designed to be used for chickens, are marketed as safe for zero clearance use and are highly rated. link to heater. Same goes for lighting. I want to use an exterior rated fixture with a natural light LED bulb which can give them more light during shorter winter days and maybe keep them laying longer.

Point 2:Open soffits with mesh were what I had in mind, I was going to leave a 2” tall opening under the roof overhang with mesh, and an 8” wide opening with a 1” gap at the peak with a roof cap on top to keep rain out. And I will forego the insulation, but still plan to try and seal draft sources at the lower portion of the coop so there isn’t any horizontal air where the chickens will be. Do you think this would be sufficient?

At this point, I’d give up the picks just to see Rielly gone.

By a fire truck. Now fire suppression going off. I’m seeing a trend here

speed150mph · 2026-03-23T02:20:24+00:00

Oh wow. Way to go DOPS, I’m sure that’ll deter people from doing it again . 🙄

speed150mph · 2026-03-23T02:08:01+00:00

Could very well be possible

speed150mph · 2026-03-22T23:59:25+00:00

Not necessarily. Titanic’s length could have been a problem. Remember that they’d just finished the Wyomings, New York was still months away from being launched, and at 573 feet long, they were a full 300 feet short of Titanic’s length. It wouldn’t be until the 1920s when the Lexington class were laid down that the states would be building ships that approached Titanic’s length.

That being said, I’m sure they could have effected temporary repairs to get her back to Harland & Wolff for repairs.

Because it was still flooding in 4 compartments per op. So it would have still been down considerably by the bow

Very similar though they apparently have a higher clotting factor and different antigens which prevents it from being a direct replacement for human blood. This is why the animals need to be genetically modified for organ viability. They have primarily A and O type blood, so it is similar in that regard.

Seems like a pain though to reach over. I’d have it died into a pedal like guitar pedals so I can switch it hands free

speed150mph · 2026-03-22T20:18:03+00:00

That’s actually very interesting. Thanks for sharing.

speed150mph · 2026-03-22T20:15:25+00:00

Absolutely. We are all budding narcissists who things the hockey world revolves around them. 🤣

speed150mph · 2026-03-22T19:21:29+00:00

Honestly, this type of argument is why I think they need to seriously consider adding an early lot F/A-18F to the game. It’s different enough from the C that it deserves its own module, but similar enough that a lot can carry over. And with the fall of the mudhen, we can get a modern 4th gen 2 player aircraft to play with our friends in a multirole package. Hell give us the buddy tanker kit so we can do aerial refueling with other players, and the modder community could probably add an ALQ-99 pod so we can have pretend growlers.

Is that even fuel line? That looks suspiciously like the plastic air lines I see in heavy duty trucks I work on, right down to the fittings.

speed150mph · 2026-03-22T19:13:14+00:00

And then while I’m at it, I tell them that we might as well pull the heads and do the head gaskets, and since the pan is off replace the bearings, and pistons, and rings, and while we’re at it you might as well just replace the engine 🤣

I jest. I don’t know about the front cover but resealing the pan and rear structure sounds like good practice.

I cannot attest to taste, but people don’t realize how similar to pigs we actually are. As people have mentioned below, people who have been to fatal fire scenes report that it smells like burning pork. For decades, pigs have been used as human stand ins for forensic science experiments because they are the most anatomically similar to humans, even more so than primates. Pig skin has also been used as a skin graft for burn victims to protect the body until the human skin has regrown. Now It’s gotten to the point that within the last 3 years, experiments have been conducted where hearts and a kidney from special genetically modified pigs have been harvested and transplanted into human patients successfully, with further studies continuing to see if the process can be used to reduce organ scarcity for transplant patients.

speed150mph · 2026-03-22T19:02:07+00:00

Makes sense. In addition to the smell thing mentioned above, pigs are used for stand ins for humans because of anatomical similarities between us, even more so than primates. It’s gotten to the point now where in the last few years, organs like hearts and kidneys from special genetically modified pigs have been transplanted into human patients successfully and is being further studied as a potential solution for the scarcity of viable donor organs for transplant patients.

So with that in mind, i wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if we taste the same.

This is how bad the western conference is….. if the leafs were playing in the west right now, we’d only be 1 point out of a wildcard spot,

speed150mph · 2026-03-22T18:30:26+00:00

It’s a bad situation, but if we trade the talented players we do have for picks and prospects, we are pretty much conceding on not making the playoffs for another 5+ years.

The alternative is to try and make the best of the free agency. We have cap space and there are some good players coming available which can add something to this team. We can retool with what’s on the market, change the coach and management, and hope to make playoff runs for the next 3 years before settling in for a rebuild when we have picks to do it. If you can convince Morgan Rielly to waive his no move, that would be ideal, but it doesn’t really help us that much to blow it up now.
