So Pi day is Monday, and even though PA has told everyone, "let them eat cake", I think I'm going to bake this weekend. What is everyone else making? I'm debating making my "usual" Maple Sweet Potato Pie, Key Lime, or something new.

A few notes to add: - If my Nexus 6 is anything to go by, you won't need as many cables around the house. It's rare that I run the thing out over the course of a day, unlike my old phone which I had to keep plugged in unless it was in my pocket. I keep a cord next to my bed and at work (even if I don't really need to keep it charged at work, it'll last the day), and rarely use others. This is even with doing things like having it stream Netflix or NHL for a couple hours while I'm working. I keep the fast charger in the living room in a box and plug it in in the kitchen in case I need it. - I've read the fast charger may (big "may") wear out the battery faster. I don't know if I believe it entirely, but since I had a bunch of normal chargers I use those for daily and overnight charging. - The fast charger is a Qualcomm standard (I'm assuming LG uses the same one as Samsung and Motorola), so there are a number of chargers that should work. Caveat emptor, but my Motorola charger works on my wife's Samsung and vice versa. It also works with various MicroUSB cables I already had. As I understand it, the trick is instead of sending just 5V (normal USB voltage) the phone can negotiate with the charger to send 9V (or maybe 12V) so there's more power available. It should work with any cable as long as the cable is wired right. - I have a Supcase Unicorn Beetle Hybrid (the really thin one that's essentially a strip of TPU and a clear plastic back) that's pretty nice, I've dropped the phone a couple times (most recently in the garage yesterday) with no issues. Plus my phone is gigantic so the slimmest case is good. - Enjoy the new phone!

I think once you get into the later second and third rounds on the NHL draft those picks aren't even that likely to stick in the AHL long-term.

FWIW, you're right that this is the example of when personal gun ownership works, even if it took the criminal a bone-head move (letting the wife go do something) for it to work out. I don't think most people advocating gun control would even argue. The counter argument, however, is that the handful of times per year something like this happens doesn't offset the thousands of people per year that are killed by guns even if you only look at the suicides and accidental deaths. That's why there's debate about the 2nd amendment. For example, gun activist mom shot by her 4-year-old son this week. http://edition.cnn.com/2016/03/09/us/gun-activist-shot-florida/index.html

From the article: I'm always confused by this. There's "committed to the check" as in not being able to turn or stop, but watching the video somehow moving towards the player, crouching, and pushing the shoulder up into the player doesn't seem like "there's nothing I could do".

Can we use "Le Toronto Francais" for them? Or "L'est Toronto"?

I picked up a nice double bicycle trailer for the kiddo last weekend at a consignment sale. With the nice weather this week, I'm hoping to get her out in it tonight for a little to see how it goes. Hopefully everyone involved will be happy!

Yep. Aldi , Wegmans, the local place that makes horseradish and mustard (and horseradish mustard; move over Webers), everyone.

Obligatory.

You'd think with the PhD he'd know to put the Exec Summary or Abstract at the top! :) :)

The turdburger fits Rex.

s/Pommen/Pommin/ gets the stein.

Yep, that one.

At that point, why not just popular vote. A proportional EC just ends up being a bit more "power" for small states and adding a bunch of rounding error.

Victory has built two new facilities in the last few years, a new restaurant in Kennet Square and the just-opened Parkesburg plant/pub, I'd be surprised if they closed up shop in SE PA. http://www.victorybeer.com/2015/12/tour-victorys-parkesburg-brewing-facility-today-make-stop-new-brewpub/

I saw a documentary about babies last year and a mom in Africa used a corn cob to clean up the kiddo. If this stretches into the summer it might help.

It seems to me that being better than six teams, or 20% of the league, is pretty much the definition of mediocre. As in, "barely adequate". Bad, medicore, OK, good, top-shelf, each in six-team blocks.

Yep, figured that out after posting. I'm as bad as the media. :)

My Nexus 6 (and my wife's Galaxy) preclude me from taking a hard look at this, but from what I saw the coverage map looks like AT&T. That means large swaths of PA where I end up driving and riding are 2G. The web site mentioned two LTE networks, but didn't say which they were. Anyone know who the partners are? EDIT: Nope, Sprint and T-mobile. I'm not sure they'd cover my usage very well.

Only if you write up a hammered game summary after.

For some reason, Dennis Leary springs to mind.

I have a few in a tin somewhere left over from when I used to travel to NYC; the NJ Path ticket machines would give them back as change. I even got a few Susan B Anthony daolars back from those here and there (in the late 90s/early 00s).

Get Paul Byron in there too!

There's a reason I don't start GDTs, apparently. :)

I don't think I've ever started a GDT. Wildcard didn't ask me to, he's got visions of figures, words, and diagrams dancing in his head for mid-terms. And not even good figures or diagrams. Buffalo comes home after a mildly chippy shoot-out win against the Marlies last night, looking to give the Rangers fits and cause Henrick to flip his net for some reason. http://sabres.nhl.com/gamecenter/en/preview?id=2015020993 Odds are Lehner is in net for the back-to-back. Whether the Rangers will go Swede for Swede remains to be saw. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdGA8wXWPd0
