Poitras and Hagens both look great. Obviously a lot to work on but I think they both have played well. We actually have some offence now and look dangerous on the rush and can break the puck out (a little) better.
I downloaded Sly Cooper and played it for the first time in about 20 years. After playing I feel like that game was the gateway drug into the linear/area based bosses which eventually brought me to Dark Souls.

Looking for some input on which professional-level Aruba networking cert people would recommend.
I need one to maintain partner status for my company. I already have my CCNA and a few other vendor certs, so I’m familiar with networking exams in general.
I previously took the Campus Access Professional class and then HPE7-A01. I failed pretty badly, and honestly a lot of the exam felt very different from what was covered in the class. We also barely use Aruba Central, so most of that cert isn’t very relevant to my day to day work.
I’m thinking about HPE7-A08 Switching Professional instead since I’ve heard it’s more straightforward.
If you just needed to get a professional level Aruba networking cert, which one would you recommend?
She always wants me to go and they are so miserable. I just end up sitting there for 3 to 4 hours waiting until it's time to leave. I am never unpleasant to anyone but I really would rather do just about anything else on a Saturday night. It feels like such a waste of one of the only good nights of the week.
I've implied to her before that I don't like or want to go to these things and that they are uncomfortable to me. I don't know anyone there and they are always in a cramped house with screaming kids.
She usually just says that "she goes places for me" when I never ever tell her she has to go anywhere and the option is always available for her to not go. For some reason me going is me "being there for her"?? Which makes no sense, it's literally a babies birthday party... She knows and likes the people there. I don't know any of them.
I've tried to tell her this before but she gets so upset with me when I really don't think this is unreasonable at all.

For example - This is how they look half the time. Tried on multiple different browsers.
I have been having what I can only describe as insomnia (never been diagnosed) for the last few weeks. Looking for a good sleep aid to help quiet my brain because I get physically tired but my brain won’t turn off.
Melatonin and typical sleep aids have worked occasionally but I am super groggy in the morning.
What are some sleep aids yall use when your brain won’t shut off? I am hesitant to try anything with THC in it, in the past it has just made me more anxious which keeps me up.
I thought for the longest time Chud meant a communist? But now I see people who are right wing being called a Chud and I am very confused. Is it a term people just throw around as an insult (like bitch/retard/etc) or is there an agreed upon definition?
When I say random stat I mean the stats that pertain to an exact moment, not something they would have known was coming beforehand.
For example I was watching a clip where Marchand scored a short handed goal a few years back and the second he scored Jack Edwards said how many short handed goals he had in his career and how many more he needed to break a franchise record.
Things like that, I feel like every announcer does it several times per game. Do they have stat sheets for each player and are just really quick to find the numbers? It is very impressive imo.
I’m 27 and I feel like I’m constantly second-guessing whether I’m doing enough or putting money in the right places. I think for my age I have an okay amount saved but I stress about it constantly.
I’m not trying to retire at 40 or perfectly optimize every dollar. I just want to make sure future me is okay. Living in New England, buying a house is starting to feel like it might be out of reach for a long time, possibly another decade or more. That has been hard to accept because I always assumed buying a house would be the next big financial goal.
Since I may not be able to get comfortable in that way anytime soon, I at least want to make sure I can be comfortable when I’m older.
Right now I have about $48,000 total in pre-tax retirement accounts:
My current 401(k) was invested in a Vanguard Balanced Index Fund, but I recently changed my future contributions to a Fidelity Total Market Index Fund.
Outside of retirement, I have around $15,000 in cash, about $10,000 in investments (NVDA, a little in S&P 500), and roughly $2,500 in crypto for shits and giggles. The taxable amount may have moved a bit, but that is approximately where I’m at.
I’m finally in a position where I can put another $300–$500 per month into an S&P 500 fund, but now I’m getting overwhelmed trying to decide where that money should actually go.
Would you keep contributing to the 401(k), prioritize a Roth IRA, continue putting the extra money into a taxable S&P 500 fund, or keep more cash available in case buying a house becomes realistic?
I’m mostly looking for a simple plan I can stick with. I don’t want to keep checking everything and worrying that I’m making the wrong decision because I am stressed about money 24/7 already. I just want to know that I’m giving myself a real chance to be financially comfortable later in life, even if things feel expensive and uncertain right now.

Looking for practical advice on troubleshooting wireless across a large multi-vendor environment
I recently moved into a more senior engineering role at a company that supports thousands of sites, and I’m realizing that a huge amount of our recurring issues come back to poor wireless design.
We are very vendor-agnostic, so we support Ruckus, Aruba, Meraki, and a little bit of everything else. There has never really been one consistent wireless standard across the company, and a lot of the environments feel like they were set up with very little thought beyond getting the APs online.
I keep finding things like transmit power being set way too high, dense deployments with no real consideration for cell size, and 20, 40, or 80 MHz channels being used without much thought about the actual environment. A lot of troubleshooting also seems to stop at “the AP is online and the client has signal,” even when the problem is probably retries, channel utilization, interference, roaming.... etc.
The other challenge is that I’m not physically at any of these properties. All of my troubleshooting is done remotely, and the people on-site are generally not technical.
I’m currently studying for the CWNA, which has been helpful, but I’m really looking for practical advice from people who deal with wireless regularly.
When you inherit a site with little documentation and inconsistent configuration, what does your troubleshooting process usually look like? What do you check first, especially when you are troubleshooting remotely?
I’m also curious how people approach standardizing wireless across multiple vendors. Do you have general baselines for things like channel width, transmit power, minimum data rates, band steering, and AP density, or do you mostly treat every site as its own environment?
I know there is no universal configuration that works everywhere. I’m mainly trying to build a more repeatable remote troubleshooting process so we are not just making random RF changes and hoping something improves.
Cables are a work in progress, boxes will be moved and unpacked. Trying to get clutter under control as well. Aside from that, can anyone give me some suggestions on how to make this setup less sterile? I want to get an idea of what I should do before I fully unpack and set everything up to avoid needing to move things around later.
I'm chasing a really intermittent issue at a hotel with MR36s (roughly one AP per guest room). Every once in a while a guest will report they can't connect to the guest WiFi, but it's infrequent enough that it's been difficult to pin down. It doesn't seem to be isolated to one area or AP.
The APs are all running MR 31.1.8.
I've seen a few clients end up with 169.254.x.x addresses, but they eventually obtain a DHCP lease from the same AP without any intervention. The DHCP scope has plenty of available addresses, so I don't think it's simply scope exhaustion.
I've also noticed a few APs will randomly negotiate at 100 Mbps even though cable tests don't show any obvious issues.
Wireless Health doesn't really point to anything obvious, and I haven't found any VLAN tagging issues or anything concerning on the MX.
I know this is pretty vague, and I am opening a TAC case but I'm curious if anyone has run into something similar on MR36s or MR 31.1.8. Did it end up being firmware, cabling, DHCP, or something else?
Just seeing if we have any timeframe, I know it can take a while. I just don't want to keep paying for the sub if it's not going to be out for a while.
Just looking for info on one article that I can't find anywhere else.
I'm replacing both the front and rear brakes on my 2018 STI. I don't think I need OEM since I don't drive the car very hard, and I plan on selling it soon because I barely get to drive it anymore.
I'm always nervous buying brake parts because I'm worried I'll end up ordering the wrong thing. Are there any pad and rotor brands you guys would recommend? I've been looking at Power Stop, Centric/Akebono, and Raybestos, but I'm open to other suggestions.
