I was getting nginx error pages today. Bad gateway, error 502. Since this is the random thread and we're talking numbers, when driving I'll see highway numbers that have some significance in tech and they make me chuckle. My two favorites are PA443 (The HTTP over SSL Highway) and DE404, Highway not found.

My first though above was, "I wonder where you get those ear tags to mark the mouse". Paint's a way better solution. Would you rather fight 100 mouse-sized cats or one cat-sized mouse?

On a related note, Case #6 in our annual ethics training today was essentially, "gigantic, bald, tattooed guy at work gets harassed because he turned in the previous manager for cutting corners. And, he's scary."

That reminds me, I need to get that clean-shaven, wearing a suit, 3/4 turn head shot taken for my email profile picture at work. :)

Mostly agreed, although I bought a semi-matching couch and recliner from Sam's for my first apartment and those did well for a decade. If you were closer, I'd give you my gigantic red couch in the basement since I'm (read: MrsPie) looking to get rid of it. It's the mirror image of this: https://www.raymourflanigan.com/foresthill-2-pc-microfiber-sectional-sofa-294931956.aspx I know d4rk disagrees, but IKEA is a decent option for cheap furniture that'll probably survive a few moves, some of which only requires minimal assembly!

90 points == miss!

My in-depth knowledge in Polish says that's pronounced, "push". :)

The more I think about it, I'm not sure "huge leap" is correct. Pominville replaces Gionta, which is an upgrade but not huge. The new D could be promising, but the loss of Foligno and Ennis means Pouliot and one or two of the Rochester-3 will have to take a step otherwise they could be in the same place for goals, which isn't good. strange as it is to say, the season may hang on depth wingers becoming NHLers and if the new system can really boost everyone's stats.

Paging Mike Richards....

You can call it bias, but he's never played more than 74 games in a season and usually is somewhere in the 60s. That seems like prediction based on past data. 448 games in seven full seasons, 64 per on average. He did play 48 of 48 in the lockout year (which I didn't count in the average).

I now have this vision of Tedislaus Nolanzcz screaming into his phone and holding it up to the players to speak the translation.

I'd think it was one of the Adjunct Captains from last year, but I think that's Gorges and ???, so maybe not. Anyone up for monthly rotating Captains?

Realistically, it's possible he's only been to Buffalo a few times and then only the sad drive down the 33 for an overnight and a game the next day. All he has to go on is the waterfront in winter and Pominville's assurances. I'm sure he'll warm up; I have a tough time thinking Buffalo is worse than Minnesooooohta. Maybe not better, but not worse either.

I kind of wonder if Kane and Pominville would make good wingers for Samson. Pominville skates down the wing and fires the puck at the GT and creates a rebound; Kane either cashes it or passes to the trailing Reinhart who then sauces an incredible pass to one of them or a D coming down into the slot.

I've only interacted with one at a friends' house. It's kinda amusing to be able to say "play some Journey" or "order 18 cases of Preparation H", but otherwise I'm not sure what I'd do with one.

$3M is nice money, but he'd still have to work or live lower-middle class if he tried to ride out the rest of his life on that $3M. $3M / 70 years == $42K / yr. Sure there's investing and whatnot, but inflation means he needs another contract to be truly set. Weird world of only getting paid for a short period of your life.

Same here, although not quite to that level. It wasn't bad with my old glass bottle since it'd warm up pretty quickly. I now have an insulated water bottle and the water stays cold too long (1st world problem), so I do exactly that. Also, I drink a lot of green tea, which is better around 175 deg F than the near-boiling water out of the water machine so I put a little cold in first, and then fill with hot.

Am I doing this right?

Best change the name, though. (xkcd 1807)

Also casual from the resident baseball fan. :)

Random thought about that clip: the Devils were skating three guys name -son, one -sen, and Zacha.

Good hockey name there, eh?

I wonder if "How I met your Mother" stole that or vice versa. Whichever, HIMYM got the axes wrong.

Reminded of the exact wording of that quote, I'm curious what Lehner is going to say about a new system that is entirely the bolded.

Same here. I've seen an instance where someone was using the English phonetic spelling of my last name as their last name (presumably changed while immigrating by the ancestor or immigration person). I. E., Using the Bowlyou spelling instead of Beaulieu.
