EDIT: I don't know what got me a thumbs-down, so I whole-heartedly say: I had no malicious intent and I'm sorry.

Sabres’ Refusal to “Salute” Fans Confirmed
MattPie replied to That Aud Smell's topic in The Aud Club
Y'all kinda sound like entitled customers. I'd be damned if I'd go salute a bunch of people that have been booing me for the last three hours. It's funny, we all love stories when some customer throws a tantrum, demands to have someone fired, and they get schooled. If you don't like the product, don't go. To be fair, a few hundred people is half the crowd. -
I was going to answer, but Marvin's is better. AI will kinda throw stuff out there that kinda works for general cases, but you need to be careful about QA on the code. It reminds me of how a friend described the initial wave of offshoring manufacturing to the far east. You cut costs on creation, but you better be on your A game with test and QA processes. Especially at the time, the far east would just kinda ship it and it was up to you to make sure it met the requirements. AI is no different; it doesn't actually understand or care about your problem, it just creates something that looks like the way someone else solved it. You and me both. I might have a move left in the next couple years if I have to, but there are certainly people that aren't going to look twice at an IT resume going back to the 90s. I am lucky that my current gig is doing AI infrastructure, so I have a certain amount of leverage there.

Dude, that sucks. I've been there. I hope you make out OK.

Yep, time for "Buffalo Bills 2024 - This is our year!"

New Bike Day!

Only if other teams go mining the Chiefs staff for new coaches and coordinators, or players want big paydays.

Opinions Wanted: Controversy in a mens hockey league
MattPie replied to Quint's topic in The Aud Club
FWIW, I 100% believe a bunch of bros "chased [her] around for the entire game post-hit" chripping. That's like the most plausible bro thing I can think of, other than one taking another run at her to really "teach her a lesson". Have you been around sports bros? (I'm asking in jest, I'm sure you have) If I was trying to do something I enjoyed and a bunch of bros kept harassing me, I'd probably be driven to tears too. I aware of myself enough to know that. FWIW, I wouldn't have waited around after the game though, toxic bros gonna toxic and there's nothing that's going to break through that tough-guy shell to the fragile little child inside. -
Huh, Google translate has the translation as "A beautiful bone". Anyone know if that's the case? 😉 (I really kid you not: https://translate.google.com/?sl=fi&tl=en&text=Uopea luuonen&op=translate; but it's one of those where you translate the English and the Finnish comes out completely different, so 🤷♂️)

It doesn't have anything to do with bar league hockey, poster is just spouting drivel to because they're so tough. -
Have You Missed Seeing Them Play During This Break? Be Honest!
MattPie replied to bob_sauve28's topic in The Aud Club
Not me, lol! I broke the cycle of toxicity a few years ago. Now this place, I can't get the Sabrespace monkey off my back. -
Realistically, the Sabres aren't going to make the playoffs without a really improbable run (like 12 wins in a row and then still being better than they've shown so far). If this is one of those, "you'll be fully healed by the fall things" then might as well.

Philly isn't the only city that can throw batteries; just sayin'.

I honestly found a repeatable difference in the after-effects of even moderate doses Genny Cream vs the other beers I was drinking at the time. I was drinking craft beer, however, so it's possible that other beer that comes in 30-packs would have the same effect, but I didn't really drink those regularly. I seem to remember it giving an out-sized headache compared to other beers too, but Yuenling and Sam Adams Boston Lager do the same thing to me. 2-3 of those and I'd be hurting the next morning, where other beers I could drink more and be fine. This is the end of my Ted talk.

Sabres on 7-4 "run" in 2024 lose ground in playoff race
MattPie replied to Stoner's topic in The Aud Club
7-4 is only like 0.8 points above safe playoff pace, so I'm not surprised they didn't gain any ground. Now, if they'd have gone 11-0, we'd be talking. Or 9-2 and then 7-2 over 20 games. The Sabres are very much in "need to be one of the the best teams in hockey for the rest of the season" territory with the start they got. Until the end of the season, watching the other teams doesn't really matter much. There are plenty of teams hovering around the same place, just take care of your own games and the standings will come. The Sabres are not taking care of their games. -
I get you, I really do, but the Bills and Chiefs aren't nearly as far apart as the Lost-in-the-woods Bills and probably the best NFL team in recent history. Even then, the Bills won 3 games against Brady. Even as it is, the Bills have been down to a play either way with the Chiefs in two of the three recent playoff games. That's strongly into a lucky bounce changes everything territory.
