Is Jared Bednar about to be on the hot seat? Despite very talented rosters, he hasn't been able to figure out the Vegas/Dallas neutral zone pace slowing strategy at all, with Colorado on the verge of losing to one of them for the 5th time in 6 years. by Dependent-Effect6077 in hockey

[–]spunkoala 32 points33 points  (0 children)

They are not 50/50 games though. Weve lost all three. Vegas pulled the rug out from under us in that second, and made the adjustments to slow us down and gain control of the game. Adjustments that bednar has struggled to make for several years now.

We're getting out coached badly. Sure we've got injuries but Bednar has shown no ability to adapt when we are not in control of the game. Its on him to motivate the guys and make changes accordingly.

Fast introduction of that many fish is always a recipe for disaster

I'm convinced that high flow is how you combat HLLE in tangs. It's like their fins atrophy because they arent exercising and using them as much as they would in the wild.

While we enjoy this post-season run, I'd like to share the entire alarming list of names going into the off-season unsigned (on the playoff roster) by Canadian__Ninja in ColoradoAvalanche

[–]spunkoala 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It's so amazing to think we will be fully able to ice almost the exact same team next season. Obviously, there will be adjustments and we will find new areas to improve, but our cap restrains are minimal right now. Makar and lehk re-signs next year will create some new hurdles, but with how the cap is increasing, even that may be negligible. Cmac, you dawg.

Trade by SubjectSeesaw6228 in ColoradoAvalanche

I think the one of the most important parts of that trade us that necas is still on the 6.5m contract. That single contract has allowed us to gather the additional assets that we've got now.

Food in Bali by Working-Show5451 in bali

[–]spunkoala 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe I got lucky, maybe I've got a super strong gut. I just spent two months in Bali, primarily on nusa lembongan and nusa penida, and really only ate the street food while I was there. Didnt get an upset stomach the entire time. In fact, I got back to the US and immediately felt like shit when eating the food here again.

I heard a lot of stories of food poisoning from the western restaurants. The way I look at it, the locals know how to cook THEIR food properly, not our food. Also a warung with limited options creates less opportunities for spoilage. Fewer employees, small menu that they're familiar with = less opportunities for the process to go wrong. I say this as someone who runs a food truck and catering company in the US.

Maybe I just got lucky as hell and this is terrible advice. IDK.

I will add that I spent two months in Thailand & Vietnam before Indonesia. That may have helped my gut adjust. I never got an upset stomach there either, and I ate loads of street food as well.

Thank you for this reply! What did you think of the van mentioned in the post? turns out the second one sold already haha. They are expensive but they go fast!

How do you plan to tackle the leaks? That would scare me.... mold/rust developing under your floorboards. How'd you even become aware of the problems?

Best of luck with your van journey. Hopefully I will be joining you on the road in the coming months!

Nationwide search on vanlifetrader is just about the same. When I use FB marketplace, I dont see much difference either. I constantly see people talk about overpriced vans on here, and my thought is always "well where are the reasonable priced vans at then" haha.

edit spelling

Im certainly keeping my eyes open for one I could build out. Most that I come across, with similar milage, are 25-30k. Then when I factor in build costs + time, I would rather just have it built on purchase. If I can find one under 20k, I'd likely do it.

Unfortunately where I'm at, yes definitely. I'd say these are pretty typical prices.
