  1. You know how when you're opening a can of soup and you go too far and the lid falls into the can? There has to be a name for that.
  2. If you're interested, I highly recommend reading Walter Rauschenbusch. Local guy to boot.
  3. There are few things in this world better than a hot tub in the snow
  4. I've always been a fan of the classic oval track. I love the local "speedways" and the grit and grime that comes with them. Dirt tracks are glorious. NASCAR used to be cool precisely because it was deliberately unrefined compared to Indy and F1. Now it's too homogenized. I stopped watching around when Mark Martin retired. They could bring me back if they wanted to. But they don't.
  5. Yeah, it'd definitely not going to stimulate anything. I'm not planning to use it, but if I have to it will be to pay rent, which basically does nothing for the economy.
  6. It's gotta be a tie between Edwards and Miller.
  7. The Phoenix one? I watched it too. Man NASCAR used to be sketchy lol
  8. FWIW, I think the speed you get it will depend on whether or not you filed your taxes yet. I filed mine pretty much right away this year because I needed that refund, so I think that put me closer to the front of the line?
  9. Got mine a couple days ago.
  10. Amen. I like pro sports, but I've also been following it for a long time. Taking a break isn't really killing me, which means I probably don't need it in my life that badly.
  11. Seriously though, I'll buy one. The hibiscus pattern is a thing from my more active days in paintball and I'd love to have one.
  12. Got any more of that hibiscus pattern? I'll buy one.
  13. Botterill taking the most comical L to date on Scandella is something else.
  14. Such assets. Much management. Wow.
  15. I think Murray might have been more successful if Darcy hadn't burned the whole damn thing to the ground.
  16. That's kinda what I'm saying. There was certainly something he could have done, right? Instead his legacy is that he failed to re-sign them both, fired his best friend coach, started a tank when he shouldn't have, and sold off too many parts to do it. He destroyed his reputation AND the team, and it all started with rolling over for LQ.
  17. I'm tired of blaming Quinn. Regier was the GM. It was his job to build the team. If Quinn was in his way then he needed to figure out a solution.
  18. I think they probably wanted to prevent people from panic buying and hoarding masks (more than they did.)
  19. Yeah, GMTM might have worked out. We'll never know. But Darcy? Jesus. Even if he did some good things in his career, we cannot allow for the devastation he caused down the stretch. The complete destruction of the development pipeline, the mishandling of important players contracts, and the ill-timed fire sale that went way too far and resulted in a forever tank? Screw Regier. He doesn't get to blame this whole mess on Quinn, or OSP, or whatever other fall guy we've created in this fan base.
  20. Also, picking Regier in this poll is unforgivable. None of this happens if not for his poorly timed tank. And blame whoever you want for Drury/Briere, but it was Regier's JOB to get one of those guys signed and he failed. He failed so hard we're still talking about it. Regier destroyed the Buffalo Sabres. Eff him into the sun.
  21. Assuming time is a construct we're willing to throw in the trash for this thought experiment, I'm picking Botterill but putting him in as Regier's replacement in the timeline. I think Jason would have been a better Tank Commander than filling the role he currently is. I don't think things would be as bad if the GMTM era had never happened.
  22. I've had this happen and in my experience you can typically sub carafes from one Mr Coffee into another Mr. Coffee if you do some digging to see what replacement carafes fit what machines. Then what I do is order the replacement carafe for the old machine AND a new Mr Coffee that fits the replacement carafe. That way you have a new carafe for your existing Mr Coffee, and when that machine inevitably dies, you'll already have a replacement carafe on hand for the new Mr Coffee when its carafe inevitably breaks. Then you just keep the cycle going until your children have to handle your estate.
  23. Interesting stuff. This all lines up perfectly with the good ol eye test.
