3rdnlng Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 The one thing Buffalo should get right they don't......ice. Too warm? I have a friend who posted pics of her and her daughters skating in downtown LA. It was 80 degrees. There's a temperature requirement for roller blades?

ExiledInIllinois Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Hey... LA is where the Zamboni was invented. It has always been a good skating/hockey town (FWIW) since the 1967 expansion (Kings). But not as good as BFLO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Jim Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 B word, B word, B word, B word, B word, B word, B word... You obviously have big issues with WNY. Duly noted once again. Go skate in LA if that's what makes you happy. Hopefully an earthquake doesn't knock a jumbotron on your inflated Cali-loving head. Bring some O2 in case the smog starts to get to you. B word?? No. Laugh....laugh...laugh. We don't worry about earthquakes or smog here. They happen here a hell of a less often as snow, sleet, and crap weather that other places have.

I'd actually take hippies over Canadiens. At least hippies don't talk funny eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The toque is a dead give-away... Can be seen from @ least 70 paces. That's about 200 feet. Ooops sorry. 60 meters.

Subsidized solar works. -solyndra I have a problem where I read elsewhere that a lot of the contracts and RFQs for the project were written in a way that only companies very friendly to Cuomo were able to bid on the projects. To me it's just a giant government sanctioned money laundering operation. Ultimately I hope it succeeds but it has potentially a dubious foundation. Curious where Sheldon silver's conviction goes if any dirt comes out here. Either way....Pegulas frac money is doing a fine job transforming downtown on his own.

Gene Frenkle Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 You've got to love that the picture for the article about solar panel manufacturing is a cloudy day. Because it's very important to have a lot of sunlight when manufacturing solar panels... Why can't you traitors ex-pats* just let us have nice things? Oh, right, it has to do with "green energy". I keep forgetting how bad that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would just be a lot funnier if it were a solar harvesting plant. Everybody's a critic, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
