Your thoughts on these proposed amendments...
LTS replied to Eleven's topic in The Oval Office (Politics)'s Topics
I agree with you for the most part. However improbable, it still feels like there is a level of possibility that won't go away. At some point within the next 10 years I suspect there will be a run for a political office that stems from some YouTube/Twitch star. I don't think that run will be a sham either. Now, one might argue that it could end up being a filtered choice put in place by the same powers you are referring to in an attempt to take over that medium as a means of disseminating their message and maintaining credibility and relativity. It's possible. The way in which we consume data is changing rapidly and I'm not entirely positive that the fossils in power have a full grasp on it. I'm not trying to say they won't figure it out. -
Is she represented by Strauss & Levi?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Incident_(album) It's a two CD concept album. I saw them at Town Ballroom when they released this and did the full album. Unbelievable show. Steven Wilson is far and away my favorite musical talent, from what he creates to his influence on production with other bands, and his remixes he's done. He remixed a ton of Yes songs recently I don't think they ever sounded better.

Ahhh I see the difference now... I am sure the word has been around a long time, it was just not needed because you could say "I had someone sew me some pants". Olde English perhaps... ?

The entire team defers to Eichel for who carries the puck. I don't see a problem with Thompson here. The only time Eichel doesn't get the puck straight away is when he's heavily covered (and even then sometimes they try). The Sabres play their coverage to free Eichel up from coverage so he's the one to get a breakout pass most often. I'm not worried. Thompson has shown an ability to get into space. I'm sure he's a smart kid and will get there. If not, we'll sit him down and let him watch Brett Hull videos (all except one) on how to be a shooter over a puck carrier. My guess is we will see Thompson going to the net to tie up that area and free up room for Eichel and Skinner.

The word has been getting used more lately. I blame the Food Network. They've made it cool to use obscure words to sound fancy. Like making a gastrique or crostini. It's sauce and toast you jackholes. In some ways, isn't what Eleven said both redundant and repetitive ( ? )? If it's tailored, isn't it bespoke?

When you use the average hit rate on a pick it ignores the success rate of the GM/organization making the pick. The stupidity of one GM cancels out the genius of another. Is Botterill the idiot or the genius?

Let's Go Buffalo! Not much else to say as the fates have not determined if I will be able to see the game or not.

Donald J Trump, your thoughts on his Presidency
LTS replied to LGR4GM's topic in The Oval Office (Politics)'s Topics
Weave beat me to it. The growth in the use of the presidential order and many other factors tell me that we don't have 3 equal branches anymore. It may be possible for the three branches to maintain checks and balances as we were taught in grade school, but I don't think it really happens anymore. -

All very valid points and the reason I have lost faith in our population. Despite being disagreed about in the main forum, we're a country that is marketed to on a constant basis and as such we allow our field of view to be narrowed by media outlets and other means. We are kept distracted while the power brokers manipulate the system. Here, watch something about Kim Kardashian and ignore what is taking money out of your back pocket. The concept that I mentioned and that Samson's Flow reiterated is that the TOOLS are there, we are just too stupid and unwilling to use them. Legislation won't fix that however. Forcing people out of the system doesn't change the system, it just increases the number of politicians who get free healthcare for life, etc. It will actually increase the costs of operating the government, not lessen it. Until the American public wants real change, it's not going to happen. I don't see it happening in my lifetime without some significant event occurring and honestly I'd rather we didn't suffer the kind of significant event that would cause that change. -
Dude.. this is the same reason people buy snowblowers. It's snow insurance. Ugh.. see what you did? (as I now look outside at 5 inches of now on the ground since last night)

Wow..lightning running away with the Presidents Trophy..
LTS replied to matter2003's topic in The Aud Club
Was that the Flyers game? I think I was listening to that on radio. Walked into one rink with Tampa up huge and came out a few minutes later and Philly had tied it and then TBL found a way to win. But yeah.. their offense is insane. -

Ever look up Louie Domingue's career stats? ? https://www.hockey-reference.com/players/d/dominlo01.html Let's just say Tampa's offensive capabilities were able to keep pace. -

And they did this without their starting goaltender for a month. -
Not sure, thought I read somewhere at one point that hot dogs could have 16 hairs... this was years ago though. I would imagine butter not being much different. ?
-
I'd think that, but Hunwick was sent down to rehab without waivers. I don't think he's a much different situation than Wilson is he?
-
Even if it did happen, the volume of butter churned from cream is about half the volume of the cream used. If the bucket were full of cream the mouse would swim out. Since it can't, we know it's not full. Once there was butter the bucket would be half full. Butter, presumable would be soft, so the mouse would be stuck in it and unable to jump out. Unless the butter hardened sufficiently. Of course the mouse would be dead by then from exhaustion, hunger, or dehydration. ?

One could hypothesize that they needed to move someone off the roster because he needed to be activated and they didn't want to do that because they are working a person off the roster via a trade. The trade hasn't happened so they needed to take a chance and hope Wilson clears. They could hope he gets picked up too. Or it could simply be... we've got guys like you here and you've not been playing all season so you are the odd man out. We hope you clear, but if not, enjoy your new home.

There was a reference to new Jersey in the opening... but hey.. who knows what it is at this point.

They will win.. because I am missing this one. There ya go. Let's Go Buffalo.

Bogo missed the net on both his shots... that's what I thought I read. I liked the stars on the sleeves and I didn't mind the larger crest. I get the Montreal reference, Florida too. I'm not sentimental to pine over uniforms of old per se. It's a business and they want to sell them. The old ones probably aren't going to sell as well. The jerseys are only up for auction. https://twitter.com/BuffaloSabres/status/1081989192677244928

GMT = Greenwich Mean Time. It's the time zone for Greenwich, London and the Royal Observatory. It's just a time zone, although it's also generally the same as Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) which is what all systems use to base their time variations on. But we should probably update the thread to reflect the game itself... despite superstition... they did go on a 10 game winning streak with normal GDTs this year.
