I'm not sure why that company is even running ads for submarines...

Can we spread this single piece of information around a bit, not just on Bluesky. Send a paper printout to your grumpy old 'net zero will make us all poor' Uncle, or Auntie.

This also takes 30-40 seconds to run for one player, which is the more likely reason why this might remain on the shelf...

You were partially right though, it was Tyler Bertuzzi. 3/3 against Giroux, out of his 33 faceoff wins this season.

I've got a minimum threshold set at 3 faceoffs, otherwise you just get a huge mess of dots at 0% and 100%

Going through some old concepts, and still not sure how to improve this one.

But now I'm curious about who that one lonely player is that has beat G every time at the dot so far this season.

I swear GFR used to be... uh.. fine I guess back in the day? Nothing egregious at least.

They've been pretty awful for a few years now, but literally putting their astroturfing as a requirement in a job listing is pretty eye popping.

Don't ever take this site or anything it publishes seriously. It is actively looking to hire people who hate Starfleet Academy to write about it.

As of 8 pm on 10.3.2026, this is live on LinkedIn.

Ask me again why I think the anti-SFA sentiment is manufactured.

There was definitely no distress involved, just significant contentment.

As far as relationships go, they all suck! Even for 14 year olds! None of them are remotely capable of a stable, healthy relationship! And pretty much entirely for reasons beyond their control!

Hm. Think I need to rework how I check playoff clinching & elimination status. Around this time of year it makes my server cry.

How do you not even get a shot off on an odd man rush against an empty net...

I very much like it when the Sens penalty kill is agressive.

I am very much waiting for the goal against when they aren't.

cannot stress enough that "separate the art from the artist" was meant for private individuals reconciling the art they love with its flawed creators and not meant for the ceo of a company driving a dump truck of money up to a bigot's front porch

I wouldn't be surprised to see him start both games in some of those, tbh

If you're going to give Ullmark a break at all, against the worst team in the league is as good a choice as any.

Reimer goes way out of position to make the initial save and gets lucky with the rebound missing the wide open net.

Drink.

I say this every year, but:

The uni students I'm teaching are thoughtful, intelligent, will make everything they encounter better.

They deeply hate AI.

Two white nationalists I exposed in a recent article showed up to try to intimidate me in person last night.

This is a press freedom issue.

Here’s what happened:

Yeah, at least one of those calls was long distance. Not as pricey as the Help Line would have been, but still had to ask first too

They were WC2 by the GP tiebreaker with 67 points on the morning of March 6, 2025. Also happened to be the same number of games played at they have right now (61)

IIRC it's locally sourced too (in that the dev is from Ottawa)

But it's too strict for what I want, where I can still let scrapers that behave through
