Read the comments. Apple, stop acting like IBM in the 1990s. My goodness.

If I ever develop a game there will be a MCDAVID cheat code.
Enjoyed what I saw of the first episode of SNLUK.
Prediction: If the Oilers make the playoffs, and this is not a guarantee, Calvin Pickard starts game 1.
Oilers need to trade for a real #1 goalie, trade everything necessary. Preferably including Nurse.
For example, “please clarify what the text on the bottom of the card means.”
We’re playing Clank Legacy 2 and there’s a lot of rules, every game there’s a lot going on, and I can’t help but think an LLM with that info in its context would be extremely helpful while playing.
Board game publishers: train an LLM on your games‘ rules and make chatbots available for your customers, or, make skill files available for users to download and use with tools like Claude Cowork.
He even realized that bigger stores closer to the US border could get it way cheaper by "hand-carrying" them across the border. We weren't close or big enough, most stores aren't. He didn't care that either my customers would have to pay way more or that we couldn't be competitive selling his games.
Not sad to see AEG has finally moved on from Ryan Dancey.
Here's his response when I asked for an affordable way to ship AEG games to my (now defunct) Canadian FLGS from their "Alpha Store" for retailers. $80USD shipping on a $320USD order was way too much.
He replied in the Zendesk thread. Wow.
Anyone in Quebec want a sweet border collie? This one looks adorable but I already have one and I’m in BC.

I wonder if he was considered redundant, that is, you "don't need or want" two players like Makar on the same team.
I'm not sure that's their thinking, but that sounds like something "hockey men" would think makes sense to them.
I also wonder if Bouchard would be considered if Toews opts out.
Great article about Simon Lizotte and Disc Golf in the Financial Post financialpost.com/news/how-dis...
I love what Tauri has done, a lightweight version of Electron, where you author the backend code in Rust.
But while I love Rust, I do not love it for app building, and I wanted to have that HTML-model for programming but available in Swift.

Inconceivable 💔
I was there and had no idea how it wasn’t in the net until I saw the replay on the Jumbotron.
One of the best saves I’ve ever seen. If it was a Toronto save it would have been a standing-O and honestly I think it should have been one anyway.
Scene from OFFICE SPACE with Michael Bolton replying to Samir Nagheenanajar: “No way. Why should I change? He's the one who sucks.”
when someone tells me not to use em dashes because AI uses em dashes

Hey, hockey media: "Pre-scout" is irredundant. #grindsmygears
They routinely let people way heavier than 136kg fly, so that’s an insane policy.

Make the educational programs that lead to these skills free for young people and see what happens.

2 minutes in tonight he drops the gloves. He got rocked but obviously the message was sent and received and he did what he should have done against Colorado.
THINGS ARE PRETTY GOOD HERE 🇨🇦

Also, this is why you don’t give energy guys 8 year deals. TF MIA tonight.
They lost 9-1. I wonder if McDavid has ever been in a game where his team gave up 9 goals before.
I assume Wise advertises & features middle aged / elderly because if they didn’t people would wonder why so many people of those demographics transfer money abroad using their app.
Like my mom did because someone told her they were Amazon tech support and they needed her help catching a scammer.
