The end of Shoresy season 3 episode 4 is an amazing piece of television. If you know the game of hockey there is no way you didn't gasp at that ending. #HNOM

Narrowly avoided a Canadian standoff today at the coffee shop. Admittedly to diffuse the situation I needed to be slightly rude and go first. She came at me with a: "No please you go first, I have plenty of time"
I retreated behind a "Thank you so much". Clearly I had crossed swords with a master. :flag:

McDavid alone with the goalie down and out chokes. I know it's tough at game speed, but that's the game on your stick. Don't make me regret my patronage.

My partner told me I was right about something tonight. I don't know exactly when the world is going to end but I'd hug your loved ones very soon.

This is a prime example of why right to repair is a super big deal when it comes to environmental stewardship. In this example the consumers choice is to buy an entirely new transmission or dispose of an almost new vehicle just because a seal is leaking. https://youtube.com/shorts/uAjqRMWtfEs?si=CyDsChOLmbOUbMeJ

  1. I hear that Chevy is considering restarting the Camaro brand as an electric SUV.
    I have no problem with the next Camaro being an all electric vehicle but make it a performance EV coup not a glorified station wagon. No it's not going to sell like an SUV but you have other SUVs in your line for that. Why not embrace hot rodding again with new technologies? Make a performance coup with modular upgradable components. #Emaro

I honestly don't understand the anti vax movement. My cynical mind is thinking some group must have something to gain from convincing people to harm themselves and others, but I can't find any logical upside for anyone.

Is it simply to watch the world burn? Is it to discredit medical expertise in general? Or is it some stubborn misplaced sense of independence? Surely it can't simply be to thumb their noses at the "Woke"?

Wow #NHLCanucks you not only took your foot off the gas, you threw it in park and took a nap. Somebody needs to buy Peterson a first class ticket because he's a total passenger out there. Silovs makes 8000 amazing saves the let's one in from the blue line, under the armpit yet again... #HNOM

The best thing that could ever happen to Mastodon is if someone, someday builds a great instance coupled with a great client and hardly anyone cares that it's built on Mastodon.
If that where to happen it would be the moment that Mastodon fulfills its true potential. #mastodon #fediverse

The problem with Mastodon is that it's software not a service. That's where all the confusion starts.
@Gargron shouldve called the flagship instance something completely different. [insert platform name here] built on Mastodon. But of course hindsight is 20/20 and no one could've predicted the great migration. Perhaps people would've joined a Mastodon site as they previously browsed web sites? #mastodon #fediverse

The last solar storm I was moving machines from one DC to another and ended up with bad memory modules. It definately can cause some damage.

Shilov is completely out of his depth here. The #NHLCanucks are going nowhere with third, string goaltending. #HNOM

"Then there’s Netanyahu, whose political career should have ended in disgrace seven months ago when he failed to foresee and prevent the devastating Oct. 7 attack on Israel."
"Netanyahu also faces a probable conviction on corruption charges and even possible jail time if he loses office, not to mention an official inquiry into his pre-war actions that would destroy what remains of his reputation. This is not a man who will act in the higher interests of the nation" - Dyer

I love hearing AI advocares talk about "guard rails" and "safety procedures". We're actively building an intellegence that supercedes our own. It's like a monkey saying it's developed safety procedures to keep the humans in line.

#NHLJets fans and hockey fans across Mastodon, I love you all.

Thank you so much for sharing this season with me.

I hope you'll join me in cheering the remaining Canadian :flag: teams to our most cherished prize, The Stanley Cup.

The boy: "That's some minor hockey bullshit Pionk"

Such language. I have no idea where he gets it from. #HNOM #NHLJets

That's the most useless penalty I've ever seen anyone take. Pionk needs to sit after that. #HNOM #NHLJets

No damage to Dillons hand. If I had to guess I'd say he's going today. #HNOM #NHLJets https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nhl/2024/04/27/brenden-dillon-gashed-on-hand-during-jets-avalanche-scrum/73479925007/

24 hrs later. If there are not fundamental changes to the #NHLJETS style of play they will not win another game in their series. #HNOM. Everything from systems to work ethic needs to be adjusted. It's possible, this team is built for a deep run, but the chemistry needs to change.
