I'd imagine this is what it's like watching your team play the Sabres. Get the puck in the O zone, and one of your teammates is open by 15 feet and you have a clear passing lane to get the puck to him. Almost every time.

Yeah, but tonight they're 2nd assists. Bust!

It's nice to hear that one guy trying to start the "Let's Go Oilers" chant.

No, you're right. I think pi needs to update his python packages, the version is behind my RHEL 7.4 system.

I'm actually GenX, but I identify more with Millenials

I've noticed the phone does look really nice; I'm not sure if it's the more-than 1080p screen or it's so small you don't notice the digital artifacts like you do on a larger screen. One of these days I need to try watching the game on my 4k computer monitor to see what NHL.tv does; if it runs in 4k and/or 60fps, it may be novel enough to watch a few Sabres games.

MrsPie spend nearly a decade in the PNW (Portland and Ashville, OR, mostly) and loves it there. I've never been. I did just look, Buffalo gets 93 days of precipitation per year, Asheville 114, and Seattle 152. I'd certainly give it a shot for vacation someday soon.

Nice. Seamonster theme: Seattle C'thulus Corporate sponsor theme: Seattle Surface 5 Pro (who cares if it doesn't make sense, Microsoft spent a ton of money for the sponsorship)

He's not whining, he's explaining the next play and where to throw the flag.

This and because I *do* have to work tonight. I probably wouldn't bother, but if I'm chained to my desk at home, I might as well put the game on my phone.

I made it myself! It kinda makes me want to set up one of those click-baitey boredpanda.com style things "Top 5 scoring tandems in the NFL -- you won't believe who's number 1!" Start off with Young/Rice, Kelly/Reed, etc.

I recall something like that too. Talk about a fundamental change in the game, can you imagine how the game would be different without out heading the ball?

I don't when that'll happen, but I know it'll be the Millennials' fault.

And after watching the Rangers game, I'm not sure he's bad at tracking the puck. On the third and fourth goals, he knew exactly where the puck was and was looking right at it. The problem was he was 4-5 feet from where he should have been and the net was empty.

Do we have a goalie the Jets might want? :)

MrsPie was just talking about Seattle's Best this morning and how much she liked it. There used to be a Seattle's Best cafe down the street from the shop I took my car. I'd drop it off, set up my laptop and work for a few hours while waiting. Those were the days! PA: If you don't actually like coffee, why not drink some tea? Far easier on your system and tastes better. I will say that (M-x snob-mode) cheap bag tea (Lipton, etc.) isn't that great, you taste way more wet paper than tea. For a test, get some relatively good black tea bags (Wegmans "Just Tea", Stash, or better) and give it a shot. Even better is get a couple scoops of loose tea from Wegs and one of those cheap ball infusers. One teaspoon of tea per 8oz/mug. The per-pound prices on tea are a little daunting, but a pound of tea lasts months, even drinking a couple pots a day. The little Wegmans loose tea bags they give you rarely go over $5 unless you really stuff it in.

It has to be rooted in implying the target of the insult is one of The Gays, and therefore bad/evil/stupid. See also, the person flinging the insult is homophobic. Your point at the end is critical; I don't think I've seen a woman called a xxxxsucker, if she was by a male, I'd think there'd be a fair bit of reverence in there too. EDIT: Perhaps an experiment is in order. Sometime today, men, call your SO a xxxsucker and report back if you still have a SO afterwards.

While the puck slid between his legs for a SOG.

Ugh, that beer is terrible. Victory is my local, so I should be offended. But realistically, I haven't had a new beer from there that has completely wow'd me in awhile. That used to happen a lot. There could be other factors in that for me; I rarely get wow'd by any beer these days. I'm inclined to think I've either become jaded, depressed, and/or old. Victory's food was certainly better years ago, I think that's objective truth.

LOL. I'm not sure why people think he'd be good making breakout passes given the way he handles the puck behind the net. :) Do be fair, I don't think he's that bad on break-aways. :)

Only if you don't try to fix them! I tore mine apart... hey, about 8 years after I got it... and replaced the assembly at the bottom that decides whether the tub freewheels or everything spins. Total cost: Maybe $140 in parts and tools, 4-5 beers, a few hours (not helped by the beers), and whatever electricity I spent streaming The Longest Day and In Harm's Way to my phone (also didn't help the time). Nice!

At best, he really needs to work on all his fundamentals. At worst, he has worked on them and they're not getting better.
