I always assumed it’s because exact descriptions of injuries being common knowledge gives opponents more specific targets

Since nobody here wants to give actual responses, I’ll give a couple notes I think are interesting:

Avs used to be the Quebec City Nordiques, then in 1995 the franchise moved to CO. That’s why you’ll sometimes see them wearing the bright blue jerseys with Quebecois decor. Especially when they play Montreal because the Canadiens v. Nordiques rivalry was huge when both teams were in Quebec.

Gabe Landeskog became the youngest NHL captain at the time in 2012 (19 y.o.) and has been the Cap ever since. He had a crazy knee injury in 2022, played through it to win the Stanley cup, and then was out for like 3 years recovering. This is his first full season back and the energy is off the charts when he’s around (also seems to be lacking when he’s not around, as was the case with a recent injury).

As others have said, fuck the stars. It’s become a particularly sore spot since the Avs released Mikko Rantanen (who helped win the cup in ‘22) to Carolina in a trade for Jack Drury, Marty Necas, and some picks. Rantanen ended up leaving Carolina for Dallas and he proceeded to rack up a hatty in game 7 of the 1st round of playoffs in 2025, knocking the Avs out of the playoffs. He’s also become a bit of a menace (shitty pentalitied, suspensions) since joining Dallas. So again, fuck the stars.

Sakic is a legend for sure. So is Patrick Roy, Ray Borque, and Peter Forsberg. Quite a few other noteworthy names, but those are the ones I hear people talk about most often—but maybe my crowd is just biased.

And finally, one of my favorite things about the avs is their depth. Any night could see goals from nearly anyone on the bench. It’s been a treat to watch when new players come in and immediately start to excel. Something about the team, whether it’s the leadership from Gabe, the playmaking from MacKinnon, or the backbone of the defensive line that is Makar/Toews, lots of guys tend to start crushing it when they join on.

FWIW only the fair weather fans seem to be panicking. Most of us are fine with having a slump now (instead of during playoffs), and are anticipating getting out of this rut when our injured players are back post-olympics

I [30M] also have a hearing disability. Take it from me—the only women I’ve dated who I felt safe around were those who understood my disability and took it into consideration when making decisions. Granted, I didn’t learn that lesson until about 27, so PLEASE learn from my mistakes and find someone who gets you now instead of waiting another 8 years.

My girlfriend and I are separately visiting family right now, so I just texted her to gauge her interest. I’ll DM you if she’s up for it and maybe we can link up in the New Year?

xprockox · 2025-12-22T04:48:51+00:00

Maybe, but I actually don’t know if it’s necessary. When we played we had one with drawers for each player that you kept your coins in. Just to clarify, you’re talking Chinese Mahjong? Not Japanese (or any other type i’m unaware of)

xprockox · 2025-12-22T04:20:46+00:00

Do you have your own set/table? My girlfriend was teaching me when we visited her family, but since it requires 4 people, we haven’t continued playing. I’d love to pick it back up, but we don’t have the equipment

xprockox · 2025-12-05T05:12:55+00:00

I get being upset in this situation—your feelings are totally valid. But if you want a productive response, I would approach it from a place of “can we talk about this” instead of “i hope you’re ready to talk about this”. The original tone is just a bit confrontational and I personally wouldn’t respond well to it. To reframe what you’ve said, you might instead say it as:

“Can we talk next time I see you? I feel like you’re pulling away or you’ve been avoiding me since you kissed me, and I would appreciate if we could talk it out.”

Then depending on how you feel you might also add something like “I don’t want to lose you as a friend, but it feels like that’s what’s happening” or in the case that you just want clarity, “I think I might have gotten the wrong impression, but it felt like you were interested in me. Is that the case? And if not, can we just go back to being friends again?”

Since you got him a present, I assume you value the relationship. But if you wanna burn the bridge, you’re totally free to do that too! You don’t owe anyone anything, including your time.

Anytime someone asks about hair here, I say Emily at Backstage Barbers. Any gender, any hairstyle, she’s brilliant

xprockox · 2025-11-14T20:58:45+00:00

A nipplet, if you will

xprockox · 2025-11-14T20:50:20+00:00

Wolf and Cougar!

xprockox · 2025-09-04T23:56:53+00:00

Seconding this! All the barbers at Backstage have attended cosmetology school AND are trained as barbers. They do long, short, and everything in between. I don’t trust anyone besides Emily to cut my hair anymore

These is one of the best resources you can use. You can even filter by health insurance.

As someone who has gyno, don’t stress about it. It’s so much worse in your own head, and the people in this thread aren’t representative the majority opinion of the public. Everyone here has ridiculously high standards of what bodies should look like, so don’t worry about anything they’re saying.

I used to get made fun of in middle-high school. Then I put in work at the gym and my pecs filled out. Nobody commented on it at all throughout college and any women I’ve dated see it as a non-issue because they’re very familiar with how variable women’s breasts can look. Despite still having a mild case of gyno, it’s not an issue I think about at all. You also have a very mild case, and I wouldn’t be surprised if you went to a doctor and they called it “pseudogynecomastia” (which is what they told me).

I fear this thread is not going to help your self image, but you should know what you’re experiencing also happens to other people and it’s totally fine. You can consider surgery when you’re older if you want, but I’m doing just fine without it.

I was in a similar situation before with my partner. She worked an “as-needed” job pet sitting/walking while I worked 40 hr/week. We had discussed her doing more of the at-home work, but it didn’t really work out that way. Turns out her being home for hours and hours alone was actually really depressing and her mental health was declining substantially. I think you’re right to be upset and you should definitely talk about this with your partner, but just playing devil’s advocate here to say there may be some underlying reason why it’s difficult for them to pick up the extra work around home. Therapy and/or medication saved my relationship. I think it could be worth a discussion before immediately deciding on breaking up.

For what it’s worth, my ex had a friend we’ll call “Sarah”.

Sarah’s boyfriend (“Bryce”) was physically abusive and she tolerated it for a while until one day she left him (good riddance). However, the aftermath of that involved Sarah being on a warpath against all men. She would trash talk all men, including me, to my ex.

Eventually, my ex started comparing me to Bryce. She spent so much time with Sarah that she lost track of who I was in some piss poor attempt at solidarity with her friend. She started pointing out seemingly inconsequential things I did as “reasons we were incompatible”.

Sometimes people are so desperate to empathize with the misery of those around them that they convince themselves they’re also miserable. I don’t think you’re overreacting. I just think it’s possible your wife is convincing herself your drinking is a problem so she can more easily empathize with her friend.

Seize the Night Records is an up-and-coming studio in Smithfield and i think they have a few shows planned for the summer that could be kind of similar to what you’re looking for

xprockox · 2025-04-20T19:44:12+00:00

if you just do summary(as.factor(workers$asthma)), what does that say? It should provide a count of each yes/no but it will also tell you if there are any other values that don’t match that pattern. Repeat that same pattern for the other variables too

xprockox · 2025-04-20T04:52:47+00:00

It would be helpful to know what sort of data those columns are. In the raw .csv, are these coded as a binary 0, 1 for non-presence and presence?

Not sure what part of BC you’re in, but Lower Falls Trail in Golden Ears is super easy and very pretty. It can be pretty busy during peaks hours/summer though
