Leftover fortune cookies and a Kind Hickory Smoked granola bar.

I'd almost guess BBQ wings existed (in other places) before Buffalo chicken wings did. I normally order them if I'm out as "Buffalo" wings usually leave a lot to be desired.

Yep. He's not exactly an expert at making money, he started with a ton of money, and has used that money in highly visible ways to "make" money, that apparently haven't beat the stock market over the same timeframe. Everything has risks, but I really worry about Trump taking risks with the National Economy. I don't necessarily want the President (and government) to play it safe, but I do want them to play it smart. That's not something I can see Trump doing.

There's a clutch in a washing machine; it's how it goes from wash to spin cycle.

Speaking in logistics, if the President shows up every person there needs to be background checked, searched, etc. I'm sure there's a fair bit of that anyways considering the others that would be involved, but I have to think it levels up when POTUS is on the attendee list.

Well, right. I just meant the particular guy that started the current dust-up.

Ah, he's not Vermin Supreme, never mind. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vermin_Supreme

Huh, I never heard that. I knew the circumference around the equator is larger than from pole to pole (the spinning fattens it up a bit) though. It's some rapper guy. I'm not convinced it's real since I'd never heard of him and now a ton more people do; viral marketing and all that. I'm not sure it works though, since I can't remember his name.

Kids these days, that's Fred Gwynne's final role. Heaven is coming to get you, Herman Munster, we're sending Car 54 to pick you up.

He is? Is he the guy with a boot on his head?

The 24-inch mohawk guys (and girls) certainly exist, but in my experience many really talented people just look like normal people. John McAfee is falling for the movie hacker image. Even more so, the really careful guys make it a point to fit in because the tallest nail gets hammered down.

WGR's podcast strategery. I wouldn't mind catching Hockey Hotline, but I can only get "WGR Sabres Hockey" on my app which gets me a ton of nonsense like post-game interviews, pregame show, NASCAR, Howard Simon, John Murphy, etc.

I didn't realize that guy I graduated Iroquois with was a widely known chef.

Pulling a girl from Toronto and getting her to come home with you to Buffalo is some epic game.

Let's put the Kane oversleeping thing behind us, OK? Water under the bridge.

Just to note on Parise and Suter, while the total value of their contracts are around $100M, their cap hits are $7.5M, which isn't anything egregious. Their numbers are actually $7,538,462, which is only $38,462 more than Ryan O'Reilly. There are certainly other good teams out there that have two guys in that neighborhood at the top (Chicago, Anaheim, St Louis, NYR, Pittsburgh).

Dolph Lundgren (wait, he's already case as Risto).

Concrete is surprisingly awesome. https://gimletmedia.com/episode/3-concrete/

I considered Devito, but he'd make Bettman human.

Nice. I'm trying to think of whom to cast as Bettman. I'd have to say Rob Schneider or John Lovitz because those two are insufferable and I want to punch their faces in whenever I see them. Sound familiar?

FWIW, my initial thought was "you so did bang on about how Terry might start the series back up for the cold hard Loonies". Seeing the posts quoted by nFreeman, I think you have to be cutting it pretty fine to deny it. I'm not trying to run you off or anything, your posts often offer insight (which is more than can be said of mine).

I wasn't speaking to commerce directly (as I know about the interstate commerce stuff), but more about regulations, such as the EPA rules, minimum wage, NHTSA rules for cars, etc. We already see a little of that with California's different rules for cars, which manufacturers either make a California version of a car and a 49-state version, or just sell the CA version everywhere. You'd undoubtedly run into situations where states would end up with conflicting regulations on something so you'd have to create several versions of an item to meet state rules. It's nice to say that rights cannot be abrogated by individual states, but for at least 100 years the Southern states did exactly that and many states are trying to do that right now with LGBT rights. Someone mentioned you could move, but that's not really available for people in lower income brackets (as easily) or if there are other factors that tie people to an area.

Oh, interesting. I haven't been using it lately; I didn't even install is on my current phone. I played around one day with OsmAnd and its tracking capability. It does work but OsmAnd is kinda round around the edges in general.

OK, that's fair. I don't ride enough but haven't noticed anything the phone app is missing. I have used either Mytracks, Runtastic Pro, or Runtastic Road Bike depending when we're talking about.

These seem like pretty reasonable assessments to me. We've seen penalty-taking Myers too; it always seemed like that's not at all natural for him so he does what he thinks is tough but doesn't do it with the nuance that helps other guys get away with it. He's the awkward guy at a party talking to women and not doing anything obviously wrong, but just doesn't do it right.
