You can really program people. Logic and reason have no impact .We have always been at war with Eastasia.

Seeing Stereolab (from France) at Babeville Tuesday.

I like the diagnosing of it not being about winning when I was screaming it 5 years ago lo

https://www.nhl.com/stats/teams?reportType=season&seasonFrom=20242025&seasonTo=20242025&gameType=2&sort=goalsFor&page=0&pageSize=50 This report on the team stats page on NHL.com has Montreal at 243 goals and the Sabres at 265. The Standings page https://www.nhl.com/sabres/standings/2025-04-17/division has Montreal at 245 and Buffalo at 265 Not sure where the 2 goals went. Those reports also have a 4 goal discrepancy between goals against for Montreal. The team stats page shows 261 against, while the standings page shows 265. Not sure the reason for that difference either.

It would make sense Pegula would rather win. Buffalo has never attracted high end players in free agency and we're on many no trade clause lists. When re-builds are decided on, it's like turning around a cruise ship. He's tried a lot of different things and nothing has worked. I'm glad the Sabres are worth a lot of money, in part it's a compliment to the fans. I hope we make the playoffs and think the roster is good enough to do it.

Last weekend I had the opportunity to see the incredible Ruthie Foster at a small music hall in Golden, CO. If you like Blues with a tinge of folk and rock in there, she's as good as it gets. Incredibly tight band. Her personality is like a ray of sunshine and comes through in her Aretha Franklin-esque singing. I am not exaggerating - if she's playing near you sometime do yourself a favor and check it out.

I mean if you think it’s funny people in general are doxxing and swatting, whatever. It puts families in danger which I’m guessing is why they wear masks. SWAT teams wear masks depending on what they’re doing. Undercover cops wear masks and they pose as not being cops. As far as vetting goes what you said is not true. Their vetting program lines up with programs I have seen for decades. https://www.ice.gov/careers/vetting The reason why I am familiar with their vetting program is because DHS uses the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency as its Cognizant Security Agency. DCSA is pretty much the largest CSA in terms of the number of agencies that do their vetting through them. As far throwing people around, the days of surrounding people and blocking vehicles are done. Regular citizens quit putting up with this. People aren’t intimidated by these tactics or being screamed at anymore. It is extremely dangerous to allow a crowd to surround your vehicles and block routes of movement. Protesting is fine but trying to intimidate doesn’t fly.

I do not give permission for this. At all.

Canadian friends. Remember Amanda Marshall? She was in town opening for Bryan Adams but before that show, she played a free mini show at Red Bird Brewing. My friend works there and saved us two seats. Incredible voice. Fantastic 5 song set.

Why did Rico Dowdle just eat me alive 😂 also Dak on my bench with 37 points.... I'm like the KA of fantasy football management 😛 2-0 to start the year, about to start my drought now 😉

Yep, I guess the AI scans started out as something like 68% accuracy, but now it's reading CT/MRI, etc somewhere north of 90%. Still not perfect but in some modalities are superior to human reads. As for students, I teach like 2 weeks a year in buffalo for MD/PA/Biomed students and we essentially let them use AI now, but if they don't proofread it then we take major points off.... Although we're more of a Pass/Fail now (which I also dislike) lol

I wish Krebs was a better playmaker but right now he just isn't. He is good at digging pucks and is strong enough to gain control but seldom seems to connect someone else after he has the puck. He trys to play fast and it's as if the other players have know idea what he is going to do. Often it's blind passes that result in turnovers. Seems if he played a more direct game he would be better off than trying to make a fancy play. I do wish there was bigger and stronger net front presence who could dig picks and screen the goalie more than Benson, but there is not one on the team right now unless you move Zucker up. Because both Norris and Tage can finish it seems like Benson can be effective digging pucks for them and he will not have to be a shooter himself. We will see if that line will be good on both sides of the ice. You would think so but until they play against the better lines you just don't know. From my point of view it's Benson or Zucker with Tage and Norris unless they get split up

I grabbed Norris in my hockey pool, so he must be good.

It would be great if his shoulder is fully healed and he plays a full season. Sadly, we have no idea if the shoulder is sound. Only time will tell. Until he proves healthy, he’ll remain a question mark.

I just don't see who the leader is on a Quinn, Kulich Doan line. I am not sure what to do with Quinn anymore. Kulich needs to play with Zuker or Tuch, assuming he is not playing with Thompson. He needs guidance on the ice.

Agree. Guessing the best we can hope for is our human AI experts stay one step ahead of self-actualizing AI. Genie is out of the box.

The best Josh Allen interview so far. IMHO. Insight into the player and the man.

From your keyboard to god’s ears

Grok, is this true?

I run into this with a lot of the younger medical professional I deal with. They will use chat gpt for an answer and reply with some snark "I've done extensive research" on said topic. Of course I have the ability (for now) to hammer them on the pathophysiology of the question, something chat gpt isn't able to do yet. But the same is going for writing papers and almost any written assignment. Rasiologists are already being phased out a bit with AI reading of scans, the percentages of correct reads by a robot are going up weekly. Not sure there is any way to slow any of this down.

The level of respect this franchise deserves. The charts can’t smell this org rotting from its core.

Naive in the sense that Pegula was new to the game and didn’t realize how rough it was gonna be on him. I think he genuinely meant it at the time so I can’t say it was a lie. I certainly agree with everything else you said here.
