Oilers need to trade for a real #1 goalie, trade everything necessary. Preferably including Nurse.

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.

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.

GitHub - velox-apps/velox: Velox is a port of Tauri to Swift. Velox is a port of Tauri to Swift. Contribute to velox-apps/velox development by creating an account on GitHub.

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.

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.

WestJet weight cap on power wheelchairs leaves some Canadians grounded, advocates say | CBC News Travellers and advocates say a rule of the Calgary-based airline that bars mobility aids of more than 136 kilograms from most of its planes discriminates against people living with a disability.

They routinely let people way heavier than 136kg fly, so that’s an insane policy.

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.
