    Just got this update from ESPN: Brad Marchand told by nhl to stop licking players

    NHL office, "Jesus, do we have to spell everything out?"

  2. Sometimes I'll be  watching TV and the wife and kids start having a conversation.  I'll look at them and ask them to be quiet once and it works for a little bit, but it inevitably gets louder.  Then, perhaps passive aggressive, I'll rewind and turn up the volume so I can hear what was said.  They are always, always, silent during the rewind but pick up conversation when the show starts.

  3. Toronto looks to be taking their series to game 7.

     

    After going 0-2, I was sure the Caps were done a series earlier than usual.  If they can hold a 2 goal lead for another 9 minutes, they'll face the Penguins without having to play a game 7/

    It's done any supposedly the boat is safe and on the lift, though I have my doubts.  Wasn't planning on going out next weekend, but probably will to take inventory of the damage.

    She did send a pic that they somehow scratched the back of the boat but don't know how.  Sounds like bullshit to me, there was no scratch before.

    Is it just me or is that quite a bit more than a scratch?  Hard to tell how big it is without context.

    I have a feeling you might find just a little bit of "normal wear and tear" on the rest of the property.

    I hate that Surly_unreadicon.pngmeans "Go to First Unread Post" within each forum, but THE EXACT SAME ICON means "Mark Forum as Read" on the main page.

    Read this yesterday and thought nothing of it.  Tonight I just marked the football forum as read on accident.

    I use LastPass but concerned that getting hacked on that will be losing the keys to the kingdom. Take advantage of two stage authentication whenever available.

    That brings up another question.  I have a few accounts with two stage authentication, but what happens if you lose your phone?  I can see that being a situation where you really need access to an account and then you're completely locked out, because you can't authenticate anything.

    You can get a password manager like lastpass.

    Does that manage usernames too?  I'm really an idiot on this stuff and have tried to keep it simple which has served me well for 20 something years, but I'm concerned enough now to try something else, realizing I may have to pay for security too.

  8. Other than this forum, I have been using the same username for almost everything for years including throwaway email addresses, bank accounts, retirement accounts, etc.  Today, I got an email that someone had logged into my Discover account and tried to change the password and email address.  No harm done in this case, but now I'm thinking everything is vulnerable, especially if they manage to get a password.  I have a hard enough time just managing passwords and I can't imagine trying to remember a bunch of different usernames.

    How do the rest of you mange this?  Do you use different logins for everything?  How do you remember all this shit?

    Last time we were both out there my wife wanted to take a video of me getting the boat ready to take out (taking cover off, lowering the lift, turning battery on, raising the tower).  We got 30 seconds in and she says "hold on, I just got a text" and for some reason it couldn't wait.  After she responded, I had to start over.  She then tells me to hold on again and I glance at her phone and it's on Instagram.  I lost it and just walked away before I shoved her in the lake.  It took her 5 minutes to realize I wasn't there anymore.

    The boat or the wife?

  10. Funny how you see this in hockey a lot.  I thought the Caps overall outplayed Columbus in games 1 and 2 but lost.  Tonight, I thought Columbus outplayed the Caps and the Caps won.
