OT: The Thread About Nothing

[RangerDoggo]

The more you know:

Is this a shock to anybody? I knew what FB was going to do with my phone number if I gave it to them, so I never did and never will. I don’t even have the app on my phone.

I technically have an active Twitter account but I haven’t used it in over three years. That site is an absolute cesspool.

 

[None Shall Pass]

Regardless of Facebook's malfeasance, you should be using MFA for any site that offers it.

Thanks

There's a lot to be concerned with at TSLA right now.

Now Add:

Press releases that look like they were done by someone learning how to use MS Word (see very bottom of tweet).

Is a vote of confidence as bad of a thing in the business world as it is in the sports world?

I was a hockey scout for many years in Europe. I will try my best to bring my abilities to the table.

Welcome to the nuttiness. Lots of good guys here... Lots of clowns too, but overall, pretty good, knowledgeable fans.

Anyone who goes to Mexico & leaves one of the few "green zones" is nuts. You're an immediate target. And those "green zones" (like Cancun) are NOT safe due to the police or government, but due to the fact its' been long rumored drug cartels are paid by the government to not operate there (tourist $$$$). And even in Cancun, murder has been up lately.

I almost got kidnapped in Cancun last NYE

You couldn't pay me to vacation in Mexico. Safe zones or not there's no f'ing way. I've been to the Bahamas which is sketchy as f and Jamaica. They're both dumps outside of resorts but Mexico is a different animal.

It's really too bad - all this talk of green zones and stuff...

I haven't been there in about 5 years, but I used to make trips regularly.

There's serious gang-related drug crime at the border, and there's 'tourist' crime near the resorts - (and I guess some drug/gang stuff too now) but my family and I (with little kids) drove all over the Quintana Roo, and all over Baja multiple times - and once you get outside the tourist bubble and border, it was really very safe in the towns and smaller cities...

definitely want to hear the kidnapping story.

welcome! not only is this a fun place where one can argue about anything and everything hockey related, but it's also a great place to boost ones hockey ego

curious - are you allowed to say who you scouted for? and what leagues did you watch?

Facebook says accounts of nearly 50 million users were breached in attack

Yep. And the masses continue to spill their personal lives to FB. What bad could come of it?

 

[Davegarri]

I went to Mexico City many years ago, over a decade now. It was really nice actually. I really enjoyed it there. The best steak I've ever eaten was at a restaurant in Mexico City. I wish I remembered the name of it

I know (or more like knew) a guy from Jersey that packed up and moved down to Jamaica. Just a fairly ordinary white guy, of no prior connections to Jamaica. He was a stay at home dad and left his wife and their daughter, so he was kind of a doosh in the end, but he just wanted to go there for the weather and surfing. He still keeps in touch with a guy that's a friend of ours. He says he likes it and he's been there almost 4 years now. He's a huge Bruins fan and apparently he still watches them and gets all the games down there. He always texts my friend when the Bruins beat the Devils, which we all know is almost every time we play them.

I thought it was Costa Rica he moved to, although it was apparently Jamaica.

Jamaica is gorgeous but outside of resorts it's sketchy as hell. We had to sign a waiver that we were leaving the resort to cross the street to some shops. As soon as we crossed the streets we were offered ANY drugs we wanted. Not just weed. It was crazy.

Doesn't seem like a guy with a full deck

I think he lives in a pretty decent area and runs some kind of tour boat type thing. Where they take tourists out on a little boat? Something like that.

He seemed pretty fine, outside of the fact that he left his wife and daughter.

Like I said, he started up a business and he's doing okay with it, from what I've heard. I don't speak to him first hand.

Not to mention hookers everywhere. Apparently Canadians love to bang hookers when they vacation to Jamaica

I used to ride dirtbikes with him back in the late 90's/early 00's. I remember he got a DWI and lost his license for 6 months or something, and my friend (the one who still keeps in touch with him) was his roommate.

As far as leaving his wife goes, it seems like a scumbag move, but I don't know the situation enough to definitely comment on it. For all I know, his wife may have been the terrible one here, I don't think I ever even met her, so I wouldn't know about it.

Oddly enough, I have a friend (one that I actually grew up with and was friends with) who pulled a similar maneuver. He left his wife a their multiple children and hightailed it to Popoyo, Nicaragua to enjoy surfing. Both he and the wife were a trainwreck.

Well yea, leaving the spouse is one thing (more marriages don’t work out than ones that do) but to abandon your children I could never imagine.

Damn, I do love you stories Bleed!
