Amtrak food is pretty good but expensive. Growing up I always got the ham and swiss sandwich and had them heat it up...it was sooooo good. Sadly, did not have this option on any of the trains I have been on lately. Dining car food is really good if you are on one of the long distance trains, plus it is always fun to socialize with people from different places.

Redhouse on Broadway in Depew is exceptional

Ehh, there is probably a 50/50 shot of snow. And realistically our plows are so good that i would rather drive here after a foot of snow than most other places after 2 or 3 inches...even some places that SHOULD know how to plow like Cleveland who has some of the worst plowing Ive seen for a snowy place... Most roads will be cleared within a few hours here, especially the I90 which has some of the best plowing in the US outside of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Many places literally send their plow teams to the them to teach them how to plow properly.

I've taken hundreds of trains in my life since i was a little kid. I simply love them and am a train buff. But if you need to be somewhere at a certain time, train is not the mode of transportation for you. Amtrak doesn't own the tracks so at times they have to sit and wait for freight trains to go through as they have the right of way. Also other things like track maintenance, engine issues, etc can cause delays. Recently we were stuck at the last station before Chicago for over 3 hours because a person was literally found dead in their sleeper car. As we were already running about 3 hours late it ended up being over 6 hours late due to this unexpected incident... In short, never take a train somewhere if you don't have at least 8 hours to spare. However at least 80% of the trains i have been on have run within 20 minutes of the expected arrival time, some even arriving early. That being said, when there are delays they can be multiple, unexpected and very LONG delays...you can quickly go from being on time to being 3 hours late with no warning.

Yeah its pretty safe there...i worked right across from the arena for 3 years without issue... Both the Harbor Center Marriott and Courtyard Marriott are within walking distance from the arena.

I think it's more likely that Kreuger does what he has always done his whole life no matter what he has tried...succeed

Do they really tho? As a software engineer i literally cant wait to go to work everyday because it feels like im having fun doing what i love. People may think they are doing "their best" at jobs they hate but really they are just convincing themselves of that more than they are actually doing it.

Don't have a link but I heard him address it a few times in his interviews on WGR and stated that he doesn't like them and that they would probably not be doing them.

JBot has gone on record saying he doesnt like buyouts.

Phil Esposito shooting on Glen Hanlon...I'm feeling pretty good that I'm living to see tomorrow...

I'd be really interested in seeing what all those picks we had accumulated turned into. I know many of them were traded but just a list of who those players weer would be interesting to see just how many good players we ended up missing out on with them. Granted we got some good players in return but they didn't really pan out the way we had hoped.

How does he keep acquiring players for spare parts??

Good explanation: “Using an overhead projector back at the Interior Ministry, Mr. Wuoma attempts to explain the math. He takes out a piece of paper covered with long equations, which seem more appropriate for a college class in nuclear physics. The equations start with a motorist’s net monthly income. The figure comes into play whenever a driver is caught going at least 12 miles an hour over the posted limit (below that, the fine is a fixed amount, ranging from $63 to $110). To begin, the driver’s monthly net income is reduced by 255 Euros ($235) and that total is divided by 60. This figure is supposed to represent a person’s daily disposable income. … [That] figure, called a day fine, is then multiplied by a number ranging between one and 120, representing the severity of the violation as determined by the traffic officer. For example, a person driving 20 miles an hour over the limit on a highway in good weather might be assessed 12 day fines.” Using this information, you can get the rough formula of: Money owed = Daily disposable income * severity of violation Breaking it down further you get: Money owed = ((Motorist’s net monthly income – 255) / 60) * severity of violation If we assume that we are dealing with “Speeding 25 km/h, speed limit over 60 km/h” as described in the story (12 day fines) we get: Money owed = ((Motorist’s net monthly income – 255) / 60) * 12 or y = 12((x – 255)/60) where y represents the money owed and x represents the motorist’s net monthly income. https://opencurriculum.org/9383/how-did-someone-get-a-103000-speeding-ticket-in-finland/

Terry doesnt care about money remember? If he needs money he will go dig another well.

Vesey is not a bad player...he can probably get 20 goals here...we need scoring depth in the worst way so this definitely hekps with that.

Cozens is NOT going to be here this year. JBots believes in letting guys develop in junior / the minors

No...he sucks at center, this has been tried and failed multiple times. He is actually turning into a really good winger...leave him there.

What makes you qualified to even know if they are?

But I hear Doug Armstrong called up JBotts last night and threw in a free private Laura Branigan concert for the entire front office...thats gotta count for something doesnt it??

Phish playing in Saint Louis last night when they won the Cup in their set break and then coming out and opening their 2nd set with Gloria... https://mobile.twitter.com/barstoolsports/status/1139009012429676545

The houses that cost 15 times as much in the most expensive housing market in the nation where 1 bedroom, 1200 square foot shacks go for $1.5 million dollars...

He basically sums up what it means to live in Buffalo...its a special place and the longer people stay the more they realize it...its hard to know exactly what it is about here but its a real thing and its palpable...it was the thing i missed most when I was living in other places.

Skinner is 3rd to only Auston Matthews and Connor McDavid since 2016-2017 in even strength goals... Matthews 79 McDavid 75 Skinner 72 Ovechkin 70

Uh the dude is 40 years old...only 13 years difference but yeah lets just jump off the deep end
