25 games left, 52 points. To get to 93, that's 41 points. Let's call that 19-4-2. Not likely, the Sabres can only leave 10 points on the table before it becomes unlikely they end up #8.. Even 80 is 28 points, so 12-11-4, which seems reasonable give the current team, but deadline selling probably makes that optimistic.

I think you just divide the amount of line out by the number of lines supporting the load, so 8 ft out / 4 lines = load drops 2 ft. The worker, BTW, only has to hold up 1/4 of the load weight. In general terms, block and tackle systems don't alter the amount of work required to lift a load, they just change the force - distance ratio. If you quarter the force required to lift or hold the load, you need to put four times the line through the system (distance) to lift the load to the same height..

I like your optimism. Yandle has been talked about around here, but last I heard he's off the block for the trade deadline due to injuries on the Blueshirt Blue Line. I don't follow that closely, so I have no idea what his contract situation is.

If they're really paying attention, could they be betting on GMTM fire sale and the likes of Schaller and whatnot regularly skating the last 20 games?

Do we all get to declare victory if Kane is traded in a hockey trade, such as for a #3/4 LHD? Or does it have to be that he's be run out of town for antics? Realistically, they guy is good but I could see moving him for the right return.

This year? Almost no chance barring something like losing 3 games for the rest of the season. So no, it's not going to happen.

This is going to sound snarky, but you're advocating that everything was going in the right direction at the culmination of 4 years of nearly unrestrained government spending (creating jobs in the war industries), which itself was at the end of 8 years of massive government jobs programs before that, all of which were fairly tightly regulated. And, that the government should be re-educating the population to think the right way.

Kane has been trapped for weeks in a time-loop like Groundhog Day and the Star Trek TNG episode "Time Squared", only in his case he keeps finding a crazed GMTM in a car on Ohio Street on his way to a guest appearance at HarborCenter. Yesterday he actually hit the magic combo that got him out of the loop (throwing GMTM in Lake Erie to snap him out of it and stopping for Tim Horton's to buy donuts for everyone at HC), but didn't realize and didn't get out of bed.

Whoops.

He was traded near the deadline. That's not being thrown off a team, Mike Richards was thrown off a team. There were never any charges against him in the assault "case", so he wasn't being investigated. But I suspect you're trolling, so I'm not sure this is going to clear things up.

It's a smoke-screen to drive up the deadline price!

Trade for Stamkos!

Interesting observation. This is where the good separate from the bad. If Lehner has a hole, he needs to work with his GT coach to fix it. If he can't or won't fix it, he going to flame out. And with him, it should be incredible to watch.

This came up somewhere else, but I like it. I think the Nucks should really embrace retro and wear the V's for the few games.

Trump 2016, book it!

I didn't think they'd do a twist ending have have Lehner win it either!

Porcupines grow on trees? Huh!

I've done that method before, it works pretty well. The only possible mistake (or good tip) was I left the meat in the pan while it was resting and it ended up medium-well (presumably from the cast iron residual heat). I say tip because it's a good way to cook a steak for someone that wants their cut overdone.

Wow, what a great version of that song.

Natalite Marchant, it was a celebrity tournament.

Fixed.

But the Repubs rule polo and yachting.

Sucks. Another recommendation is (if the remote system is Linux) get comfortable with a Windows (I assume your personal system is Windows) version of the tool rsync. Rsync will log into a remote system and synchronize your files on that system with your local system (or vice versa). (an alternative is WinSCP, which has file mirroring functions too). That way you can work locally and sync to the server, or keep a copy of the stuff on the server local. Github is a better solution, but rsync is easier to learn, all you really need is to learn a command or two and you're off. I know these are tough lessons now, but learn from every mistake. There's probably some pretty way to do it WIndows Server to Windows Client, but I don't know what it is. The rsync tool you find (grsync rings a bell) should be able to sync two directories, so you could probably sync local and a Windows share.

You have the talent of being nice to (or at least civil with) people you probably vehemently disagree with. Plus you seem to want to learn. Those earn anyone a lot of slack.

I think you're doing computer-related stuff, and one of the best things I can recommend is to get used to using a code versioning tool and back up the repo regularly. It makes it a lot easier to figure out what you did to break you code. Even for non-code things, it's a better way to save copies of documents than save as.. and file_1.doc, file_2.doc, etc. I don't have a recommendation for a particular tool (since no one uses CVS any more and Subversion is kinda hard to run on your own), but git/github probably is worth learning since you'll probably see it later. I'd do it for all my personal files (recipts, taxes, etc.) if I wasn't lazy and didn't have to worry about my wife getting to stuff (and privacy issues).
