  1. The game was in Boston right? Good luck on that one. People are all up-in-arms about the knockout game, though, maybe they'll make Thornton an example for playing it. (ha, ha)
  2. No, that's a great example of non-intent. The driver in your example (presumably) didn't *intend* to crash his car into other people. He's guilty of gross negligence though.
  3. Was it the Islanders that last year were picking up everyone on waivers?
  4. I don't know that I've ever had a beer that was too hoppy for my tastes, but I've had quite a few that were mediocre beer with a lot of hop added. A good, really hoppy beer is fantastic. :)
  5. That looks like a Cannon design, all glass (I used to work there). It really doesn't fit into the rest of Buffalo's skyline though, I'd love to see something that complements the other deco buildings.
  6. :) I forget if I posted this before, forgive me: http://www.woebermustard.com/products.shtml Blasphemy!
  7. Good to have my math checked. :P
  8. Sammich. Whole wheat bread (not that great though, just mushy), Muenster, arugula, Weber's mustard, and Lebanon Bologna.
  9. I prefer Franks, but both have their place. Sriracha tends to overpower stuff, and being thicker it's a lot harder to distribute evenly. But, my wife stocked up when she heard anyway, she likes it more than me.
  10. I'm pretty rusty on my probability, but picking 1st both times (via the lottery and being in last) would be 25% * 25%, or 6.3%. Picking #1 zero times (again from last place) is 75% * 75%, or 56% (ouch). The remainder is 37.5%, which is picking #1 once in two years. (25% * 75% + 75% * 25%).
  11. I get what you're saying, but I'm not sure what we really need (a top-3 forward) could be had for one of our D-prospects. I'd be thinking of trading pick #2 for someone's 3-6 pick *and* a solid forward prospect (I'm looking at you, Edmonton!). That being said, I'm not sure top-3 prospect+pick 3-6 == #2 (Ekbald) alone.
  12. Dude, you're so in if you're Sriracha-worthy.
  13. I'm grabbing a case of Victory Beer and heading over. Good enough?
  14. Been washing your Superbowl spirit on the gentle cycle for the last twenty years? Or even hand washing? No more, my friends! New stock! http://www.zubaz.com/Bills-Zubaz-_-1769923250_PG.html
  15. I have, but it's not something I care to remember. :(
  16. You'd think they'd just close off the upper seats and let everyone have free reign on the lower bowl. At least it would look full on camera. So I popped the game on, there looks to be at least an entire empty row in each section you can see from the center ice camera, maybe 50% full in those sections. There's a block directly behind the benches of 4 rows a section+ wide with *no one* in them. Granted, this is early in the second, but I have a hard time believing folks are waiting in line on the concourse.
  17. Or I might have just spelled it wrong. :blush: The quick look for a recipe I made earlier leads me to believe that biryani is like the term "BBQ" or "curry". There's a lot of variation in there depending on where you are.
  18. Thanks! I'll have to look closely too see if it'll fit in the 4-qt Dutch oven that I use as a "slow cooker". Briyani paste is an Indian spice paste that (I'd guess, I've never made it at home) you'd use to make "Briyani". :) which is kind of like an Indian-spiced version of Chinese fried rice. This paste has a little bit of a Mexican feel to it, since corriander, cumin, and chilies are the first few ingredients. The lentil concept would work with any curry paste I'd think, I just happened to have a jar of that in the fridge from a different recipe. Next time around I'm going to try adding coconut milk and some Thai curry paste (red, green, or penang).
  19. Sounds good, I was on a lentil kick last weekend, make Rice and Lentil Risotto and Briyani lentils (lentils with a bunch of Briyani paste). I happen to have quinoa, lentils, and sweet potatoes to use up, recipe?
  20. Fantastic sub. It was my favorite overall until I found Primo's (PA/NJ chain) Sharp Italian. Prosciutto, Sharp Provolone, Thumanns Capacola & Natural Casing Genoa Salami. Great cold cuts and probably the best sub rolls I've ever had. I just wish they wouldn't call them hoagies.
  21. We're getting way off-topic in terms of tablets, but: I wonder the same thing, but I think it comes down to two thing: games and lack of maintenance. I spend all day on Sabrespace fixing and maintaining servers and networks. Once upon a time I did the same at home as a hobby, now it's the last thing I want to do. I don't want to work on my home computers, and Windows PC are work. For most techies, Mac is the obvious choice because they're not really system people. I know Linux really well from work and once you know how, it doesn't consume much time to maintain. I run a command (or I could use the silly graphical program) every few days and it updates all the software on the system in the background. Not just the OS, but the browser, office, music player, etc.. I'd consider a Mac (especially for the wife), but they start out expensive so not to cut into iPad sales. Macs are very good at what they do, and very well suited to their customer base. And, for most people they're a better choice than Windows or Android. I think they'd truly take over if they gave up the premium good thing and sold less-expensive models. They're not for me though, they're "computing appliances". They work well but there's no "fun" to it. It's like a playoff game vs. an all-star game.
  22. That's fantastic! :) The Lemmy card sounds pretty awesome too!
  23. What's interesting (to me at least) is that I find iPhones (and Macs) to be completely unintuitive. Maybe I'm "used" to Android or something. :) As for the the list above, scanning (other than taking a photo) and printing are not that well developed in the tablets I've tried (iPad and Android). If you're looking for something that works in the car, you might need a laptop (possibly Touch-friendly "convertable tablet/laptop) running Windows. I don't know business and customers, but it'd be a lot easier if the estimate forms were electronic on the tablet, then emailed to the customer.
  24. I'd be disabling that light. Any way possible.
