    Education basically (not k-12). My team changed and the veterans have been pushed to the side for newer ppl who are Yes men. I'm sick in explaining why things won't work or trying to fix all the screw ups. I'm over it and want to move on so I'm looking. I want to work in assessment either education or Healthcare but jobs in Buffalo are slim.

    Edit: Oh and there was some things done behind the teams back with one of newbies that hurt what we do but was initiated by management. I got slapped down pretty hard and unprofessionally when I questioned it and tried to show them the issue. The trust is broken and it's never coming back. 

    Oh, get out of there if you can. Management is not setting the old team up for good outcomes.

    Good thing he’s not a goalie, Sev is not a good nickname.

    If I were an above-average goalie, I'd absolutely use that nickname; it's hilarious.

    My concern with russian players is their patience. I am not convinced that Komarov will stay longer than two-three years in Rochester if he does not earn a spot in the Sabres line-up in that time.

    I'm not sure the KHL (if that's what you're thinking) is the draw it was a couple years ago given "outside factors".

    I just heard on WGR 550 a few minutes ago than i believe it was Darren Dreger is reporting coaches were never talked to at by Adams, berube said he never spoke to Adams at all. I caught the tail end of it but it's being reported that there was no search at all and it was Lindy Ruff from the get go. Like I said I caught the tail end did anyone else hear this?

    Maybe it was video coach scouting.

    You can google anything these days. 

    Olive oil is a big part of both the Mediterranean Diet and the Longevity Diet and both have held up to numerous studies as the healthiest for long life. Just saying. 

    Olive oil is probably the best oil, health-wise, for general cooking. Even so, it does tend to cause inflammation and some other issues. "Olive oil is healthy" comes from the standpoint of "it's better for the body than butter, margarine, lard, etc.". You're better off not using any oil, butter, or fat if you want the healthiest option.

    Loving and Hating this on such severe and equivalent levels that I collapse in on myself like a dying star, destroying all life in the universe in the flap of a butterfly's wings. 

    Poetic. Good to see you!

    I’m interested in seeing how much a one trick pony fetches on the open market. 

    Couple years, couple mil I'd bet. Probably more if he can convince people that that 20 goals is the norm for him (3 of last 5 seasons), not this season's 7 in 51 games.

    Have any ex-sabre coaches ever done an interview about coaching the Sabres? I can't remember any of them talking about it

    Is there a non-disclosure clause in their contracts or something?

    There might be, but more likely, you're in a profession where there are (currently) 32 positions available in the world. You don't air any dirty laundry or rock the boat, even inadvertently.

  8. Should note that even the Reddit OP says RUMOR a couple times about the funding the Tempe "No" campaign. Wouldn't surprise me.

    I found this interesting too:

    Quote

    Most of the money for the Tempe No side also came from trade unions. If Alex would have agreed to a certain percentage of union labor, that campaign would not have been that strong.

    This sounds like, to put it in Reddit terms, r/OhNoConsequences.

    If you’re asking is the poster Biron, the answer is can’t be. Biron is 46. Poster says he’s been a fan 50 years.

    I would hire Biron as an Assistant Coach in a skinny minute. Smart, huge hockey IQ, great analytical and communication skills, and enthusiasm for the Sabres and Buffalo.

    You know, that's not a terrible idea on the surface. I'm not sure he has the chops to be a skater coach, but Marty is awesome.

    Shocked this one was sponsored by Bud Light. Such a Buffalo Holiday/Event seems like low hanging fruit for this to be a Labatt Blue event/game/coozie.

    Yuengling is also the sponsor for the on screen score. 

     

    Not being sponsored by Tsykie or Zwiec is a travesty.

    Do you know why vehicles continually increase in size?  The federal CAFE standards are based on the length and wheel track of a vehicle.  Larger vehicles have less aggressive fuel economy requirements.  So rather than make vehicles more fuel efficient, it's easier to just make them bigger.

    And make them all "trucks" so the CAFE (and safety) standards are less stringent.

    I thought this article explained it well. 

    https://theconversation.com/baltimore-bridge-collapse-a-bridge-engineer-explains-what-happened-and-what-needs-to-change-226716

    Bottom line is really that the size of the container ships has increased so dramatically that older bridge safety standards are no longer adequate. The ships are simply too big and heavy now. I mean just look at all those containers. Never saw anything like that 30 years ago or back when this bridge was built. 

    Pretty much. On a smaller scale, the same thing has happened on the roads, the current F150 Super Scrodozer editions dwarf versions from the 90s in every way, other than having an actual 8-ft bed.
