  1. 3 months in and the Corona hype is gone? What will happen to all those people with hoarded up cleaning supplies and toilet paper? 

     

    I am hoping phase 2 doesn't come in like the plague....

      the virus is not gone

      it is overshadowed by other issues

      it should still be a significant concern for everyone

      be smart, distance, wash hands, wear a mask if you cannot distance, try to avoid anywhere indoors where there are more then a couple of people

       

      not sure what you mean by phase 2 and plague"

      but i hope the second wave of the virus is not worse.. i'm guessing that is maybe what you meant to say

      what is dating?

      please explain

      i remember something vaguely about that

      might have tried it when much younger

      canada does have its own problems

      but suggesting that canada is in the same realm as the usa

      is like suggesting trudeau is as asinine as trump

      believe all the above if you wish

      i do not

      i have lived in both places and elsewhere as well

      canada is nothing like the usa

  4. Judd Brackett is so good that even when he picks his nose someone wants to sign it. 

     

     

     

    I hope he can live up to all the hype our asinine local media gave him.

  5. So Yoko Ono and Bryan Adams are both trending. Adams sent out a unprofessional tweet about Covid that isn't racist (yet people are assuming it is), and a large contingent of twitter are cancelling him. At the same damn time, people are praising Yoko Ono despite the fact that she used the N word in her music, was an adulter, and drove John Lennon into addiction. 

     

    Seriously? People are wild.

  6. If this year's draft used standings from the season before, would you defer our first round pick or use it? 

    1. coastal.view

      coastal.view

      ok

      though we speak the same language

      we are speaking it differently

      but not worth debating further

      no you have it wrong goalie13

      if nucks miss the playoffs the pick stays

      so you are missing all the points of the question

       

      if the nucks have an option

      i say they use the pick asap

      and happily give up the pick next off season

      team is on the upswing

      and using the pick now only strengthens the team a year early

  8. Imagine if losing these games are enough to cost Ovi a real shot at breaking the goals record...

    1. coastal.view

      coastal.view

      um

      i think gretzky endured work stoppages in his career

      why should ovi get uninterrupted service time

      get the goals record

      and everyone ignore that difference

      work stoppages impact all modern great players stats records

      just another issue they need to overcome

  9. I wanna go to a pub and eat pub food and drink their craft beer 

     

    But alas, it won't happen for a good while 

    1. coastal.view

      coastal.view

      great

      i'll open a pub in my back yard

      keep the chairs 6 feet apart

      burgers and dogs on the bbq

      a couple types of beer and cooler/cider chilling on ice in coolers

      seems like that could be easy enough

      i think it comes down to rapid testing

      and pubs ensuring the distancing requirement

      volume of business will be down

      so not sure how that works in terms of operating with lower revenues

      they'd almost have to raise food and drink prices

  11. Need internet help/advice.

    Having connectivity issues with devices.  Here is some history:

    1.  Internet started to crap out just over a year so bought a new router.  Seemed to correct the issues.

    2.  Bought a new laptop a year ago.  First the sound goes haywire then it starts to have connectivity issues.  After about 2 months dealing with Staples/HP they fix the motherboard and that fixes the sound.  Wifi connectivity not so much.  All other devices work reasonably fine.  Brought the laptop to work and it worked fine there.

    3.  Laptop worked okay when it was on the same floor as the router, so buy a splitter to put the router on the main floor.  Laptop connection is marginally better but all other devices are suffering now.  Especially when streaming on smart tv which was never an issue before.

    4.  Now also notice that my wife's phone will not even recognize the wifi signal.

     

    At a loss for what to do.  Is it a laptop issue, a router issue (or both), a strength of internet signal?  Any tips to trouble shoot would be greatly appreciated.

  12. Looking to start baking my own bread, any tips(no breadmaker) like where to get some yeast?  Thx.

    1. coastal.view

      coastal.view

      good luck

      i actually baked bread for a couple of years in a bakery

      people under estimate the value of a good proofer (a climate where humidity and warm conditions allow yeast to properly flourish and rise your bread)

      the break maker provides this quite well

      it is harder to get that environment in the standard kitchen

      that is an undervalued benefit i was simply wanting to point out

      too bad you bought a mixer

      expensive

      i have used bread makers as a mixer and proofer for my bread

       

      when it has risen the last to final time

      i remove the dough from the mixer

      knead it into 2 loaves

      put in traditional loaf pans

      let them rise a final time

      and put them in a regular oven

       

      you get proper sized slices that way

      and the breadmaker provides a double function as a mixer and proofer

      it is usually way cheaper then a mixer

      i just don't like the size and style of bread it makes

      if i let the breadmaker bake the dough

    Any ideas on what to take or do to fall asleep?

      i agree with the exercise thing

      this isolating stuff makes most of us way more idle

      keep those limbs moving

      and you'll be more tired at night

    I will probably order groceries at the end of the month.  Doing with what I have.  And I have not had wine and champagne for a while.

    1. coastal.view

      coastal.view

      i filled mine,

      it was:

       

      fruit (bananas and apples)

      fruit juice

      ice cream (or some other frozen treat)

      milk

      chicken breasts (final ingredient for a large cooking so i have frozen home made meals available)

      hot cross buns

      chocolate covered raisins

      pepper garlic whipped cream cheese

      veggies

      frozen pizza (but could not get any on sale)

      tp for my mom (but could not get any)

       

      (am well stocked on wines/beer/etc - but am a pretty low volume consumer of these things)

       

      and i'll go out and shop as long as i feel it is safe

      it is becoming entertainment for me .. .

      damn this isolation is changing way too many things :P

  16. Can you imagine what all the bars and clubs would be like the first day they're allowed to reopen?《•¿•》

    1. coastal.view

      coastal.view

      they will put taped circles on the ground

      6 feet apart

      and you will have to stay in a circle once in the place

      keeping your mask on

      and drink your drink through a straw (not plastic of course)

      and wipe your hands with a disinfecting wipe every 20 minutes

      will be way too much fun

       

      :P

  25. on a compliance buyout, how does that have to be paid? all at once or a percent of owed money over twice the length of the contract. say louie's contract of 8 mil?

    1. coastal.view

      coastal.view

      same as any buyout

      over time

      you can review the lacavalier buyout from the lightening

      if you need a refresher on how this works

       

      (he was also subsequently bought out by flyers, but that was not a compliance buy out)

       

      to my knowledge vincent is the buy out king of the nhl
