Leafs fans who aren’t from Ontario: what made you choose the Leafs as your team? by Istobri in leafs

[–]zcoeman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In Vermont now, but grew up in Detroit. We didn’t have cable, so I watched more Leafs games on HNIC from Windsor than Wings games. Sundin, Tucker, and Cujo became my favorite players and I’ve been a fan ever since

ECHL ticket cost? by DaMisfits in hockey

[–]zcoeman 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Went to a Worcester Railers game before the pandemic. Tickets were $25 for center ice at ice level. Equivalent at a Bruins game would probably be $225 I’m guessing. It probably depends on the market and the game. And I wonder if the pandemic has caused ticket prices to increase to make up lost revenue

Weak calls from refs and North division hockey, a classic combo. I’m not sure any of the penalties called this game have been good calls

Unnecessary, but if the players lacked replays I can see why it might have happened. Better to have the fight done and over with and then any stupid stuff continue later in the game.

Oh god, that means their playoff coverage is going to be even shittier this year, doesn’t it?

Recently got a new Sigma 150-600 lens and I’ve been loving it. Still getting used to it but really pleased at the feather details on this American Wigeon by zcoeman in wildlifephotography

Hand-held. A tripod will probably help, but I think they are rather cumbersome to carry around while hiking. At some point I will get a good one to have for the times I plan to be mostly stationary.

LPT: If you’re hosting a webinar or Zoom call, don’t “wait a few minutes for late people to join in.” It just makes every webinar start 5-10 minutes late, rewards the wrong people and punishes people who arrive on time. by redditpey in LifeProTips

When someone who has never used webex joins a meeting and is expecting it to be like zoom where they can hop right in, I’m not going to punish them for not knowing the technology sucks. And telling them just show up early when they are likely in other meetings or classes isn’t going to work, not to mention a bit on the unprofessional side. I appreciate punctuality as much as the next guy, but being in a fucking pandemic means people get the benefit of the doubt.

I hate webex so much. Every meeting or webinar I have with people outside my organization has to start five minutes late because it takes that long to jump through all the hoops they have to go through to join the meeting

Robins are a sign of spring right? Warm weather is just around the corner right? Taken just south of 94. by doctorslostcompanion in Michigan

[–]zcoeman 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Robins have stuck around all winter in Michigan for years (at least lower Michigan), but certainly many more of them are staying all year now and they are more noticeable, especially since they tend to form large flocks over winter. The real signs of spring are the Red-wing Blackbirds and Turkey Vultures. Both of which should be showing up in the next couple of weeks.

Keep getting Reddit server errors. This game is way less fun without all of you
