Eichel over Turgeon as well. I'm not sure that is justified.

Half full. Pretty good for a weeknight

Summer Sabrespace meet up....

Taking in some playoff baseball. Batavia Muckdogs, single A affiliate of Florida, won their division and game 1 is tonight.

The body metabolizes alcohol similar to how it metabolizes carbs but doesn’t produce insulin in response to alcohol intake.

Well, beer has carbs and alcohol, if your concern is the insulin response......

Alcohol actually is more energy dense (kcalories) when metabolized than carbohydrates, but doesn't produce the insulin response. I say drink em all.

My hopes, fears, and expectations revolve around two items, Casey Mittledstadt and goaltending. Hope they both see significant improvement over last season, fear that without significant improvement this team will be a bottom feeder once again, and I have no expectations regarding either. I feel like significant enough improvement of both is a a 50/50 shot.

After a roller coaster weekend (we put our dog down Saturday morning AND my 101yr old Grandmother passed peacefully Saturday night)), we needed something to brighten things up. We used to raise canaries and finches, but have been out of it for awhile. The last 2 Winters we both commented how much we missed singing birds brightening up cold Winter mornings. So, we hit a breeder in the Buffalo area and now have 4 finches and a male canary in a big flight cage in our family room. The singing and crooning was just what the doctor ordered at 7am this morning.

Are cashiers personally at risk legally for underage tobacco sales, like clerks that sell alcohol? If so, that would make me so serious about the joke.

We should go find a beer together. Misery loves company.

We’ve decided tonight that it is time to put our dog down. Making the appointment for Saturday morning. It was almost exactly 1 year ago that we found out he had cancer. Almost to the day. We got to have another full year with him before it got out of hand. Long faces in the Weave house tonight. And probably all weekend.

I don’t remember a time devoid of opinion among journalists, and I’m pretty grey.

I dunno. I think the problem is that “we” have lost the ability to discern what is news and what is opinion. This piece wasn’t passed off as news by the author as far as I could tell.

I have a face for radio and a voice for silent movies. edit- and the charisma of a damp mop.

According to the Partnership for the Public Good's 2018 Buffalo Brief Report, The City of Buffalo has 108,600 jobs. I don't think it is unreasonable at all to assume that 50% of them are downtown. A real estate downtown demographics report has a downtown resident population published as 930 people. If we assume half the City of Buffalo jobs are downtown, that gives us 54,300 workers downtown, with something less than 1,000 of them living downtown. I don't believe 10% of them carpool. Never saw any more than 1 in 10 vehicles with more than one person in it back in the days I called Buffalo home. Edit- Don't you folks know how to research and support your arguments?

Yup. Taxpayers paying for the trade war. Here's the really funny part. Follow the money. We put tariffs on China. Farmers get subsidies to keep them planting. How are those subsidy moneys obtained? Federal bonds. Who is the largest holder of publicly owned US debt? Yup. China. We're paying China to put tariffs on China.

You really don’t think there are 40k employees that travel from outside downtown?

Because this is a hockey forum and he is the biggest name in hockey right now. As such it is relevant to the fans here. And interesting to talk about as we have a star center in a similar boat.

Found on the twitters. Posted by a nobody, I assume. Re: the Pominville - Vesey convo Talking about Pominville last season. H8ers gonna H8 -Played with 9 forwards > 50 minutes last season. Every single one of them had higher Corsi w/29 than w/out. -GA>GF only with Sobotka and ERod -Best 2-way player on the team by xG. 15th overall in the league. But, please, tell me more about how horrible he was

I think he got this one correct. https://www.thebalance.com/current-u-s-federal-government-tax-revenue-3305762 Tax revenues went from 3.27T to 3.44T under Trump. I haven't found anything specifically tying it to any one reason. It's certainly possible that it is due to current employment levels being higher. Corporate tax contributions are down 2% so it certainly seems to be an increase in income tax revenues.

My prediction is that there will not be a happy ending to the Star Wars saga. The cowboys in the white hats don't overcome the cowboys in the black hats. I think the final message will be that power corrupts. Always.

Let me know where you ate at and we’ll meet up

Off to Knotfest in a few. D4rk, Josie? You going?
