Agreed. I hope that situation gets worked out eventually.
I really want there to be a Central Europe team in the next iteration as well, give players like Draisaitl and Pastrnak a chance to participate.
A typical bike-riding leftist urbanite who also happens to be a hockey-crazy Western Canadian.

I love listening to solo piano or ambient music while reading. Any other type of music is too much for my brain to handle.
It’s an adjustment I had to make when everyone started working from home in 2020, and I find it works well on transit too. Might just be that I’ve trained my brain to go into focus mode when I hear that type of music.
Late push by Finland, we might have a game here
It sounds like he’ll be good for Thursday, but we’ll see when we get there. I agree, he’s kind of a spiritual leader on that team and not the type of guy to sit out over being banged up.
Dominant first period by Canada. We play this way against the US, I like our chances.
Also it’s weird to see McDavid and Doughty being pals
No family day where you live? Or work just not giving you the holiday? Either way I feel your pain, bud
McDavid and Mackinnon off to a hot start! Finland taking their timeout 5 minutes into the 1st.
This reminded me of Long Long Man
Ads are a bigger business than you might expect. Get enough eyeballs in one place and brands will be tripping over themselves to give you money just to mention their name. Take the superbowl for example. It’s usually the most viewed event every year in the US, so naturally there is a tradition of advertisers pulling out all the stops and making high-budget bombastic commercials for that specific occasion. You can imagine how attractive it is for brands to want to put their ads on big social media sites, where psychological tricks are used to capture as much attention as possible at all times, instead of just once per year.
Then there’s the user data angle. The big sites all have millions of users who constantly give away personal information without even being prompted, and that makes it really easy for the companies who run them to analyze what makes each user tick and serve ads to the people who are most likely to click on them. This elevates the rate brands are willing to pay even further.
Those two things, along with a suite of anti-competitive practices, are enough to get sites to the point of being mostly profitable. Venture capital and hype-based market speculation get them the rest of the way.
Yup. Oilers and this team have a very similar makeup. USA has has a bunch of players who antagonize the oilers as well.
Binnington coming up big on the PK, let’s gooo
Mcdavid is the closest thing we have to a superhuman
Having both tkachucks immediately taking themselves out of the game is a bold stratagy
There used to be a bot posting game threads last season but the comments were alway deserted. I’ve been waiting for more users to show up so we can have an active discussion here, maybe that time has finally come.
There is a decently active hashtag on mastodon (#HNOM) so I’m thinking I’ll create a game thread for tonight here and invite people on masto to participate and see how it goes.
I agree with what you’re saying, but developing the technology right now is quite counterproductive. The stopping of carbon emissions needs to happen first, and it needs to happen quickly. Every bit of energy spent on carbon capture projects would be better spent implementing renewable processes.
Furthermore, the technology currently functions as an accountability sink for heavy polluters. It allows them to hand-waive away the entire problem of emissions since there is this “panacea” just around the corner, thus slowing down actual meaningful climate action.
Carbon capture needs to be discredited as a solution until its purpose stops being the continuation of the status quo.
Does anyone remember the spongebob edits people used to upload in the early days of youtube? Idk if they’re still around but I remember watching the pizza delivery one about 10 times in a row and just dying laughing.
I wonder if any of those videos are still funny, a lot has changed since 2009
Linus himself uses a macbook, I’m sure the mainline kernel has decent support for somewhat recent hardware
Not gonna lie, the performatively anti-vegan rhetoric is cringe af.
Not sure why it’s so popular on lemmy of all places, but there’s been some really terrible behaviour towards vegans whenever I’ve seen the topic pop up. Just flooding the platform with hate particles for absolutely no reason.
Yeah, I really wish people would be a little more tactful when they go on performative tirades like this. It’s giving “old man yells at cloud” energy. Ridiculous behaviour when you think about it. People can block clouds, yelling is worse than useless.
Still waiting for the Pettersson Miller feud to pop off
