The Oilers have a good goalie now, that's how.

And that is fucking terrifying.

Skinner gave up 9 goals on 63 shots in the first 2 games of the series though.

Whatever Edmonton changed from Game 2 to Game 3 is crazy.

Bruh how you limit the Oilers to THIRTEEN SHOTS and fucking LOSE THE GAME

Literally the exact result everyone expected in this series

I'm honestly confused what anyone who could afford that monthly payment would possibly need to take a loan like this out for.

Absolute insanity

Can't believe 6 of the first 12 picks were QBs and then the 7th wasn't taken until pick 150.

I was like, Why are we here? You cant time the finish,' Smart said. Dolphins coach Nick Saban, a friend and former colleague of Belichicks, had the answer, according to Smart: Bill likes to look and see how big their ass is when they get down in a 40-yard stance because he wants to sign the biggest-assed defensive linemen he can sign.

The GOAT coach has chosen a side so that settles that argument once and for all

The Guardian literally changed the headline

I dunno about unpaid being illegal but uncompensated should be illegal. Like, if I work an extra 4 hours, I want that 4 hours back as PTO, or paid, or to be reflected in the bonus.

Yeah that's what I meant.

Unpaid overtime just needs to be outright illegal

I don't understand how the fuck you get X links, when you go to Twitter the address bar still shows Twitter, there is no reason to ever change it to X and then copypaste the link.

If you copy the link from the app you get an X link

Ukraine's government (at the time) passed a law in 2017 requiring all education passed the 5th grade to be done solely in Ukrainian. It was mainly targeted at the Russians but of course also impacted the Hungarians/Romanians/etc in the country as well.

It should be. Takes like two seconds to change it to twitter and leave a properly embedded link.

I wish someone would take the ~30 seconds it would to make the X links embed though

This was one her submitted amendments to the Ukraine aid bill that passed Congress:

Amendment to H.R. 8035 Ukraine Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024
No funding shall be made available to Ukraine unless restrictions on ethnic minorities,
including Hungarians in Transcarpathia, right to use their native languages in schools are
lifted.

(To be clear the amendment was not passed/included).

Hungary's crazy far right party wants to reclaim that region and we all know how connected to Russia all these crazy far right parties are.

Did I actually see that Phoenix is already back on the short list for the next group of expansion teams? I understand wanting that market, but maybe give everyone some time to reconsider the mistakes you made last time.

Yes, apparently Meruelo negotiated a clause into the terms of the sale that he has 5 years to "reactivate" the franchise, which includes requiring them to win a land auction and get an arena built.

Good lord

0 points on 0-10 shooting (0-6 from 3), 4 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 turnover, 2 personal fouls and -12 in 32 minutes

What the fuck my dudes

and still in last place in the AL East

Like my personal record for running is 11.5 km, I can't imagine running nearly another 10 km on top of that just to do a half marathon >_>

https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/wayne/2024/04/09/dearborn-mayor-rejects-death-to-america-chants-at-protest/73254682007/

A group called Al Quds Committee Detroit held an April 5 protest outside the library along Michigan Avenue in support of Palestinians that featured several speakers. During the protest, some could be heard on a livestream of the rally chanting in Arabic "Al-mout li Amreeka," which means "Death to America," and also "Al-mout li Israel," or "Death to Israel." Such chants are sometimes used in Iran or by Iranian-backed groups to protest U.S. foreign policy. Protests held in Michigan over the years by the Al Quds Committee tend to feature speakers who praise Iran's leaders. It's unclear who uttered the chants Friday.

Totally normal people

It could just be them hating Israeli's rather than Jewish people as a whole.

At this point, given their other actions as a group, they absolutely do not deserve the benefit of the doubt.

think i still have some old 261ers tagged as Iran simps...

A few of them definitely showed up in this topic lol

Tyranthraxus posted...

It just goes to show they don't really care about Palestine their primary purpose was just hating Jews the whole time.

Exactly.

And it's not even Iranians cheering this on either, because at this point the vast majority of Iran's diaspora, a significant chunk of Iran's remaining population, and Israel actually want the same thing!

These people are absolute fucking lunatics

It's kind of funny that TWO volcano-related movies released a couple months apart in 1997.

Hollywood needs to go back to making natural disaster movies.

That's the only scene from that movie I actually remember.

Also Dante's Peak with the boat in the acid water.

This motherfucker's really gonna do it lmao

Yeah the GI Joe end credits scene was the most hype part of the movie lmao

I'm confused as to exactly which "blue states" this is supposed to apply to.

I was going to say "He's the one with the n-word incident" but I don't know if that narrows it down enough.

https://www.tmz.com/2024/04/08/morgan-wallen-arrested-throw-chair-nashville-rooftop-bar/

Per legal docs, obtained by TMZ, detailing the alleged incident -- a chair came hurtling down 6 stories to the ground outside of Chiefs Bar Sunday evening ... which landed just a few feet away from some Nashville PD officers who happened to be standing outside.

As if we didn't have enough proof the guy is an absolute dumbass piece of shit

For a lot of families their kid getting a good scholarship is the only way theyre going to a good college.

Kids are also very competitive and want to be the best too. Im not saying that we should force kids to throw their arms off, but this is just the reality of becoming a top tier athlete in the modern day.

We're not talking about the same thing.

The families that are trying to turn their kid(s) into a sports phenom from a young age do not need their kids to get a "good scholarship" to go to a "good college". They can afford it, just like they can afford sending their kid(s) to all these camps and tournaments across the country year-round.

hate to break it to you but the most common reason in history to have children was so you could have more hands on the farm

I mean that's a little different than spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to try and force your kid into becoming a sports phenom.

Iowa didn't even score a single point in the last what, 3.5 minutes of the game?

Ngl this game is closer than I expected

I don't know if this is a worse look for Toronto or Houston

And yet all the "purists" want to blame the pitch clock
