  1. I love the NHL bot accounts on Twitter.
  2. Yes, that was my point. And protocol would have been a better word than convention. It's more formal than just a generally accepted convention.
  3. That's normal convention. Any person who serves in office or in the military is called by their highest title/rank thereafter.
  4. When Kadri scored his hat trick goal, the organ started playing "Self Esteem" by The Offspring. For what it's worth.
  5. Once they sign, their professional rights belong to the team that holds their ELC. It works well enough for players in juniors. The problem on the college side is they can't sign if they intend on playing more in college because as soon as they sign a professional contract (even if it doesn't kick in right away) they lose their college eligibility so they have to turn pro immediately if they want to play. That's how you end up with players like Cal Peterson and potentially Johnson, Portillo and Levi walking. You can't lock them up.
  6. My brain has so thoroughly moved on from Eich/Reino/Risto I seriously struggled to figure out who in the heck you were talking about.
  7. Well, and I think the Amerks have adapted to some veteran-nasty tactics themselves. Crush 'em!
  8. This morning during my breakfast ride: 95 degrees, wind at 16 mph out of the south. This evening walking the dogs: 70 degrees, wind at 14 mph out of the north.
  9. Not my term. I heard it on Bikeforums.net over a decade ago.
  10. Besides, engineers don't care what we look like.
  11. Clear to you. Not to me. If I were going to have work done I wouldn't look like that when it was finished.
  12. No, he spoke quite clearly to why he wore it. He explained it in the clip I posted. It's quite clearly (to me anyway) in the context of the Tops shooting.
  13. Sometimes they never do. Minor league sports apparently have a small fraction of the resources compared to major league.
  14. The video in the first post cuts out the moment where he talks about Buffalo.
  15. Interesting that the Amerks *barely* squeaked in among those 23 of 31 teams but they're knocking off teams way above them in the standings. ❤️
  16. I just picked up a Suteki Track 10 mixte, 49 cm frame size. It was sitting by the curb on big trash night. Shimano 600 derailleurs, full (perfect) fenders. Covered in dust and the tires have dry rot, but they hold air. As far as I can tell everything is complete and original. On the stand it shifts perfectly and the brakes are well adjusted. It's gorgeous but too small for me. Great bike porn though.
  17. But they didn't shoot anyone, as it turns out. From stories I'm seeing: Guy approaches the gate without a badge. He asks them to find someone for him in the plant. While they're talking to him and not letting him proceed, they notice a brief case in the back seat. Worried about possible explosives, they detain him further. He kills himself.
  18. Now they're calling it "an apparent suicide." Quite an odd place to do that though.
  19. I think many/most of the front gate guards are ex-military so they've had some level of training and perhaps some combat service.
  20. One dead but I think the shooter was one of the guards and the shootee was IDed as a threat.
