I about messed my drawers just watching that vid.
I'm not a pilot, but I'm an engineer and for a few years I tested flight controls systems. Part of that involved regular opportunities to fly in a very realistic simulator. I got pretty good in the sim, but I couldn't come close to what that guy did. Love the way he canceled out the Dutch roll just as he touched down. Bumpy approach but looked like a pretty smooth landing.

Quick! Someone throw RE a rope! He's getting sucked into the Youtube Vortex!!!!
Well there sure as hell ain't much hockey to talk about.

Speaking of personal problems, I have an apostrophe to share with you. '
I think you should know, I'm a married man.

I got a new grill last fall. Big Lots: $89. If it breaks after a year or two, who cares?

I was saying that Gleason's source seemed to be talking about how the organizations were run, internally -- and that the Pegulas found Brandon's Bills to be a much better run business and that they apparently had concerns with how Black ran his division within PSE. That despite the fact that the Bills are, I presume, a (much?) larger operation than the Sabres. (Is that true? I have not tried to check.)
As for who's better at selling, developing, and leveraging, I'm sure that played into it as well.
Also: Pat who?
I was assuming PLF... maybe this has been brewing for a while?

I'm only 26.
Get off my lawn you rotten kid.

Does Russ shoot right or left?
He swings either way.

CrossFit just seems too contrived to me.
That's pretty much the way I feel about the X Games. However I'm sure that's how people felt about football a hundred years ago. We may or may not be on the wrong side of history. These Cross Fit games are simply filler while the only sport going on is baseball. If it gets a following it may continue and may become some kind of big deal. If the ratings don't come, though, they'll move onto the next filler.

(also does my q look capitalized to you?)
Sounds like a personal problem.

New Jersey Devils is to Lou Lamoriello is to Toronto Maple Leafs as
Buffalo Sabres is to Darcy Regier is to Arizona Coyotes
I don't see a big bounce-back from from Toronto.

There are far too many miles of interstate to do in Autobahn-quality construction. :(
Actually, Autobahn-quality construction can be cheaper than interstates (at least on a life-cycle basis). The problem is that the US has federal standards for interstates. As long as a construction company meets that minimum standard, is capable of doing the work, and is the lowest price, they get the construction job.
In Europe, most countries get their roads built by the same companies that will maintain them, and they do so on a life-cycle basis (like, 30 years). They're free to use different materials (don't have to just use the "minimum spec" as they do in the US) and can pay more up front for a roadway that will require less maintenance. There are paving materials that are far more durable and resistant to potholes than the federally mandated concrete and blacktop used in the US.

If it had been a McDonald's, he probably would have gotten

...since I am fast approaching my 19th wedding anniversary and I am only 42 I will say that it was definitely not a regrettable decision at age 21 to get engaged and married at 23.
Didn't have a kid until 31..
We got married at 22 (well for me, almost 22) and first kid three years later. I'm ten years older than you but I'm already pretty much an empty nester (my youngest who turns 25 next month is home for a few months, maybe a year, while he gets his teaching credentials and finds a job).

Bank of America charged me a $10 fee for my savings account falling below $300 for a period of less than 12 hours. It's a small amount, but stealing money seems like a crappy thing to do to someone who has been with them for around 15 years. I'm oddly tempted to close the account over this.
Did you call them? I've had them for something like 30 years, and I've found that they do that kind of stuff once in a while. If you're a longtime customer and don't constantly incur fees like that, they'll usually remove them if you call (at least in my experience).
Not only are there signs along the Thruway indicating that slower traffic should keep left,...
It's really simple. 1. Keep right except to pass.
See, this is a problem with the jackwagons, but also with the signage. The sign should read per your words: "KEEP RIGHT EXCEPT TO PASS". When it says "SLOW TRAFFIC KEEP RIGHT" or whatever it says on the Thruway (I forget the exact wording), it sends the wrong connotation; it says that if you're in the right lane, you're slow, and no one likes to think of themselves as traveling slowly on the Thruway. They need to remove the reference to speed from the signage and say left lane is for passing only. Period.

I think you might have a few death notices if you tried to take on all 366 taps over a few days.
When I went to see the Bills play in Houston a few years back, the Bills Backers drank several downtown Houston bars dry.
Just sayin'. :angel:

True dat, it's one of the few careers left you can make a go of with a bachelors.
My BS has kept me employed for 30+ years as an engineer. :angel:

If Larsson is the emerging Hecht, Marcus could be our new Grier.
I like that parallel, especially with Marcus being 2" taller. I just checked, he's only 23. He could still have significant upside, especially considering the awful teams he's played with. I've mentioned my hope that the Sabres have a big jump in the standings this year and hope they contend for a playoff spot. One of the reasons I think it's possible is that there are several players like Foligno that were part of the awful teams and played to the level of the team. If the overall level of the team increases, I think several of the younger holdovers will follow the lead and perform at a level much higher than we've seen.

Know who else kept a team in Buffalo? Gary Bettman. That doesn't mean we should pretend No Goal didn't happen.
Not sure that analogy works here....

There's been some talk of TPegs rebooting Empire Sports Network. I'd consider calling it One Buffalo.
Alternately, I wouldn't mind joining ROOT sports network. I think they're owned by DirecTV, but my sense is that the ROOT sports cities are a little more individually tailored than FoxSportsWhatever. And with ROOT being in neighboring Pittsburgh they might be able to get some regional WNY/WPA coverage going.
