Welllll, I can't defend that one as well 😂

Wasn't singling you out, or anyone. Just recall browsing the other Johnson thread and seeing a lot of hate/anger at him in general.

I think that's my issue, it's politics protecting big insurance, with the illusion of personal safety. If they cared about safety, the driving test process would be actually useful 😂😂

Wasn't he dead to the board less than a week ago? How the tide turns.... Group think is a dangerous game.

See, this is where I throw a twist in... If I'm in someone else's car, I put it on if I'm the passenger. It's not my car, so I won't be disrespectful that way.

In my youth I bought a motorcycle from my brother in Indiana, no helmet law in any state but NY. I didn't wear a helmet from South Bend all the way up the 90 until I got to NY state line. Got to NY and pulled off and had to put it on. I still ride, I'm not sure if I'd ride without one now, but if legal, I would probably make quick little trips without a lid. It's a similar argument to the seat belt, in PA "I belive" you don't need a helmet but must wear Eyewear. That makes complete sense. A helmet protects me, but again, if over 18, it should be my call.

This is a more rational take on reasoning. I sometimes wear it, sometimes I'm aloof. I known I've shared that a close friend of mind drowned because he couldn't get the seat belt off and yes this is rare. But it's where my seat belt aversion came from initially. I'm surprised that was censored

If I'm dead? Sure, it could. My argument here isn't if it's smart or not for me to wear it (I know the answer) it's about the enforcement of a law that isn't really for the benefit of anyone but me. I'll make that decision.

His timing for his own career would be perfect with Buffalo "finally" on the upswing

We're all hockey fans here.... Or else we wouldn't be watching other teams playing it out. I don't think it's the most famous, but it may be the most difficult to acquire.... 2 months, needing to win 16 out of a possible 28 games. An intensity that has seen players endure through broken ribs, acl tears and etc.. Let's see a golfer deal with that... Yeah, not so much. My own opinion, it's the most fun trophy to watch get acquired.

This may be controversial (shocking) but I don't understand seat belt laws. I got a ticket for not wearing my seatbelt which is fine, I deserved it. It was a checkpoint and I didn't even try to put it on. I'll gladly pay the ticket and didn't give the trooper a hard time. I work in medicine and know that it's the smart thing to do, much like a motorcycle helmet. But it's a safety issue for me, not the general public. Speeding, reckless driving, not signaling, etc.... These are public safety issues. Me not strapping in my belt (while not smart) doesn't affect anyone else on the road. Spare me with the whole "driving is a priveledge not a right" I get that, but I have always and always will continue to find this law intrusive. Up to 18 wear your seatbelt, make sure your kids are strapped in. Rant over, I'll pay the fine and maybe consider putting it on more, I still don't agree with it.

Sadly Eichel is in the 3rd round so talking about him isn't "completely" off topic. How bout Benn though eh?

Holes in the yard

I'll be honest Were using the house to film the next season of letterkenny. Also, concubines galore.

Wellllll You're right, it's bigger than I need. But the basement is a full separate apartment with 4 bedrooms, kitchen and bathrooms, the traveling nurses are paying between 2-4k a month for a place to stay, it has a separate entrance and everything. So it'll be a solid game room when not in use, and will help pay the mortgage when there are some hospital staff staying there. It's much newer and the price was solid, my home, while nice and looks nice is outdated and needs more work than I want to invest. The market is crap for buyers right now so this was a steal all things considered. The land and escaping the HOA were big perks, also I'm going to be pocketing wayyyy more than I ever expected by selling now. I'm almost in shock with how much people offered for my house. Timing is huge I guess. I need to install 4 GFIs and purchase 4 bidets 😂😂😂 they will all have heated seats, I will settle for no less! 😁

Sammy on the spot

I make a pretty good living and I still realize how much money insurance companies and the administrators are making off of me. It's infuriating. So I'm not fully against some of this shift in thinking since Covid. But like many things, it's seems to have swung too far in the opposite direction. There's wanting fair pay and balancing work/life, then there's having a terrible time staffing almost anywhere. It's tough, inflation is up, cost of doing business is up, recouping losses from Covid has to be awful for some business owners.

It's hard for me as I've worked in Healthcare for so long. I also work as a 1099, so I don't get time off/sick time /vacation time, etc. If I show up I get paid, if I miss time, I don't make a penny. So I've definitely worked through things that I would have loved to called in for. I wouldn't even know a good answer to that question. Generally speaking, I find work ethic has declined quite a bit in the recent years, for better or worse.

3 strikes?

Liver king is what is wrong with society, so is Tik tok and Twitter. This place is technically "social media" so I can't say that I avoid it completely

Losing 2-1 to the Panthers during the last week of the season isn't making me feel so bad right now, they are just rolling.

Panthers have beaten Boston and Toronto, adding Carolina to that list would be quite impressive. By comparison, Carolina had the NYI and Devils (neither had a real chance to be honest)

In the few times that I've gone and paid for said junk... The food was just terrible in general, pizza was cardboard, nachos stale, pretzels hard, dogs were basically poorly boiled tasting, etc etc. Even when I got a Tim Hortons coffee they didn't have any cream or sugar for it (black coffee is fine) but cmon (not sure this is a DN issue or not) I've been to games in DC, hockey games in Vegas and etc, it's night and day different. Even when I went to the amerks game in Laval, the food and drink was 5000% better and that arena sold out with a large number of fans often.

Sad I missed this one, but glad to see the final score.

Last call, 2 free tickets! Someone take them lol.
