Is it too early for me to laugh at the Laffs?

TBL makes it 2-1 with 7 mins left. That could be the game.

Organic creatures need a planetary surface environment on which life could emerge and evolve. But if post-humans make the transition to fully inorganic intelligence, they won’t need an atmosphere. They may even prefer zero-gravity, especially for constructing massive artifacts. It’s in deep space that non-biological brains may develop powers that humans can’t even imagine. There are chemical and metabolic limits to the size and processing power of organic brains. Maybe we are close to these limits already. But no such limits apply to or constrain electronic computers (still less, perhaps, quantum computers). So, by any definition of “thinking,” the amount and intensity that can be achieved by organic human-type brains will be swamped by the cerebrations of AI. We are perhaps near the end of Darwinian evolution, but technological evolution of intelligent beings is only just beginning. It may happen fastest away from Earth—we wouldn’t expect (and certainly wouldn’t wish for) such rapid changes in humanity here on the Earth, though our survival may depend on ensuring the AI on Earth remains “benevolent.” It is entirely likely that whatever is visiting, is inorganic, and is a technology that evolved itself from organic beings.

I tried La Nova last time I was in Buffalo. It was okay, nothing special. I left confused as to why it was so hyped up.

That’s...odd...almost every single local place I get pizza from in Roch has cup and char...

NHL Rumors and Trade Speculation 2021-22 Season
Andrew Amerk replied to Brawndo's topic in The Aud Club
And here I am, stuck with a dude named Ned Tolan for my yard guy. -
I am very interested in this.
-
Your opening line exemplifies why the Sabres should work more towards a resolution, than a trade.
-
I used to love Carvel. And Baskin Robbins. Where did they go?
-
He high sticked Mantha in front of a ref after a play. It’s only fitting.

Snow Caps are underrated -
Gross.
-
I was referring to the Charlie Coyle business prior to the goal. No call.
-
It’s always fun to watch players not good enough for the last place team in the league be useful players for teams who don’t finish dead last 4 of the last 8 years.
-
Bruins get away with ANOTHER call.
-
I’m sure Kahun is extremely sad having to playing on the top line with McJesus in the playoffs.
-
Very...unusual. Wilson gets tripped, but also gets a call. Marchand high sticks Mantha, Mantha also gets a call. Smith hits guy in the head twice, both get called. Unreal.
-
And Bruins get away with a couple more sticks to the head, courtesy of Smith.
-
Not really a fair call there against Wilson. Now Mantha is getting a penalty for taking a high stick to the head from that dirty Marchand? Refs favoring the Bruins is beyond old.
-
I do have to disagree. For certain players, it’s better for them to be getting 18-22 minutes a night in the AHL, and getting opportunities on special teams, than getting 6-8 minutes a night in the NHL. We have seen other teams use this very well, calling up players and plugging them in and they fit right away. The Sabres used to do this very well many years ago.
-
Yessssssssss! Go Craps!
-
I hope those fans go and get a Bruins “Stanley Cup Champians” tattoo.
-
It’s like the WWF. The ref is always somehow distracted when the folding chair comes out and is used to assault the opponent.
-
I'm being honest, I'd love to see Wilson deliver a nice heavy cheap shot on Marchand.
