So you're suggesting that he didn't want to get the sun pregnant?

You should probably get that checked on.

I watched it at Duke and it was pretty uneventful. Was that really 95%? The change to the sky was only noticeable if I turned around and looked away from the sun. I guess I was expecting it to be slightly darker. It just goes to show you how much of the sun really needs to be blocked out in order for it to get dark.

My work is having a big event in this courtyard out front. I can never turn down something like this when it is happening during work hours on their dime. And yeah, my commute was much slower this morning. You could tell that it was the people not used to being on the highway at that hour. All of the congestion was at every single on ramp merge. They really have no idea how to do that out here.

Has anyone started the Defenders yet?

He actually jumped over to sabrespace. Can you please take him back?

Gophers and explosives would help too.

That's the end goal for a weekday meal after work. I think a few more dinners cooked in the anova will fully win her over. I think we'll wind up sticking with thawed out meat that we can season however we'd like right before dropping it in the water.

I'm still waiting for the day where the people reporting on this stuff will actually figure out the difference between the words "gender" and "sex". I have no idea whether or not they've read it, but when the report starts with "manifesto about biological differences" and then ends with "gender discrimination", they confirm to me that they have no idea what they're talking about.

It's a good option if you need something fairly quickly. It was a one hour process. I'm not sure how that timing stacks up against anything else yet. I've had chicken with that texture, but only at restaurants. I get the feeling I'll still grill chicken more often if that's the meal of the night. I'm typically getting home at around 7, so I really don't want to wait until after 8 to eat. The wife gets home much earlier, but she's reluctant to try using the anova. I'm guessing that mindset changes after the steak on sunday though.

I took my anova on it's maiden voyage on monday. I didn't have much time for much beyond a basic test, so I went with some chicken breasts. I need to work on the seasoning a bit, but the chicken itself was awesome. I used the first thing I could find for that, so I'm sure I'll find something better in the future (my chavetta's stash maybe). We will finally be getting our cuts of the cow on saturday, so I know what's for dinner on sunday night!

If you burn a year of an ELC in exchange for a handful of games in the AHL, it can pay off pretty quickly.

Sweet, my neighbor is 600 or so spots ahead of him.

I don't know if I'd say it's all than guaranteed. With this team not quite being there yet, I could see that late season signing actually getting him a handful of games in the AHL as opposed to that playoff rush. I'll be curious to see how quickly he adds that weight you're talking about though. I'm much more familiar with which training staffs out east have good reputations, but I imagine that being a big money Big 10 school means Minnesota is strong in that department.

I wanted to say two years of college, but it seems like lately the truly elite NCAA guys have been jumping one year after being drafted. Either way, we won't be waiting very long to see him in the Sabres system. As for that contract, he'll wind up with a ton of bonuses, so he'll get more than that $850k. I've never really seen much detail on what those are, but I'd imagine that he'd be cashing in on a few of them even if he was in the AHL. So there's definitely potential to increase that money significantly.

I'm getting a smaller share than the others. It's just the wife and me. Everyone else has multiple kids. I have no idea how much I'll end up with though but I get the feeling I'll be eating beef every single day.

Tom Hardy is in it, right? I'm. Has he hit A-list status yet?

Ambitious, the cow? My neighbors dad raises cattle and he gets one every year. I think he used to split it with former neighbors but now it's ours.

I would guess that Nolan's prior work winds up being at least a small draw for that demographic.

We are about to split an entire cow between a handful of houses in the neighborhood. It was the perfect time to finally cave and order an ANOVA. It should be delivered today, well before the first steak gets to my house. I'm only a few pages in, but I'll be scanning through the entire thread looking for ideas.

It was really good. I'm with Tom on the whole thing about how Serkis needs to get some awards for what he has done throughout this series. One of my favorite characters from movies in recent years and one that I find myself pulling for more than most... and it's a CGI ape (Maurice has been a great sidekick too). I find that stuff distracting most of the time with how cartoony it feels, but that thought never once crossed my mind with these movies. They're a great example of how good these graphics can be when used properly and not to excess. On a side note, I haven't seen the original in ages and I was never really much of a fan. Still, I'm amazed how many of the references to that series that I caught from this movie and the earlier ones. I couldn't tell you much of anything beyond the basic plot of Planet of the Apes, yet I immediately recognize certain names when they're dropped. I have no idea why.

What's the bar for success for either of these guys, just making the team? I suppose Cardale has a shot at future playing time, but not EJ.

Apes later today

That had to have been absolutely brutal for teams like LA and Vancouver. The league was almost 75% in the northeast during those days. Their travel costs must have dwarfed those of teams like Buffalo.

The closet case to a balanced schedule can be found within the division. And that's why when determining the playoffs, you are first compared against those other teams in the division. There will never be an ideal system as long as schedules aren't balanced, and schedules will never be balanced.
