    NHL 2024-2025: Definitely the Leafs year

    True, and there was an argument to be had for if Steel should have gotten a penalty shot from it. But the league isn't going to let an elimination game be decided in the last seconds on a penalty shot.

    Yeah, one of the things which broke my heart in the MCU was how they essentially ruined Planet Hulk and WWH story lines for what was "We need somewhere to have Act II of this movie". Not that I didn't enjoy Ragnarok, I did, but they could have used some other backdrop rather than Planet Hulk...

    Yeah, I feel honestly terrible for him. Lose your dad, then get the first goal in a must win playoff game for your team, only to then cause the penalty that puts the other team on the PP into OT and they win on it. But as I am a dyed in the wool Stars fan I'm still glad he didn't pull off the...

    Superman: Legacy (2025)

    I don't have much fear about Fillion as Guy. I think it would be hilarious after his short sting at TDK if he would just keep showing up as characters who never survive more than a movie, and rinse and repeat.... My other dream for him would be since they said the Reyes Blue Beetle is also...

    This is my exact goal. So we can get a Stars/Canes finals, and set the stage for "Stanky's Revenge!"

    It should also be noted that Moody's is the LAST of the big three to downgrade the US. S&P did it in 2011 Fitch did it in 2023 In both those cases there was a market downturn after. (I think it was 10% in 2011 and 8% in 2023). So the question is if this one will cause the same. There's...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    When @Mrs. Haus and I pull off "project peaches" there is a part of me that has thought about building a basic track that surrounds the perimeter of the land (which yes, would be moderately boring lest I throw in some variances, but still) under the auspices of "getting around the property". heh...

    Nice to see the Leafs pull one off before they had to start printing Matthews pic on the sides of milk cartons.... I'd much rather than win game 7 and advance than Florida for purely personal reasons. heh

    The way I see it right now, and this is probably my most optimistic take on it, is that right now everything is just re-arranging deck chairs on the Titanic while they desperately try to find a way to reboot/rebuild/recreate/recast the whole MCU, and that SHOULD happen in Secret Wars, since...

    Superman: Legacy (2025)

    I was thinking this as well. I think the big reason is probably that a comic accurate Mercy would also be a "do whatever boss man says" loyal woman working for a white man. And we can't have that these days, now can we? They can roll the Engineer in much the same functional role, while...

    Are you familiar with Guy in the comics? This was the Guy Gardner haircut long before it was the Lloyd ;) That hairstyle is pretty iconically attached to him. Although they have also done him with a buzz cut. That's the default Guy "look". You can tell from the visuals so far that Gunn is...

    Actually both. Vegas and Dallas both advance, then Dallas mauls Vegas IMHO. (Especially since Miro has a certain Knight he wants to see paid back for causing him to miss a huge chunk of the season and now has some moderately beefy enforcers to send to collect.) And I suspect Miro will take a...

    You just have to realize... The league itself was the other team in the Luka trade. Luka for AD and some scrap pick? Makes no sense.. Luka for AD and the 1st pick next year? That trade would make some sense. League gets the next Superstar in the premier market. Mavs get to start building...

    I wouldn't mind Vegas being shown the door by Edmonton. The only upside to Vegas advancing would be if they Stars also advance, as to see the Stars unleash some payback for the Miro injury. Well that and it would give me an excuse to price a game in LV to have an excuse for @Mrs. Haus and I...

    This is true, but what he can do, as Biden did, was mandate that "Medicare and medicaid simply won't pay over a certain amount for a given drug, and that price is determined by whatever we find the lowest price you're selling it for elsewhere is". They will fight it again, but since the...

    My bet is they will announce a "deal" which is really just establishing a framework for further discussions. Market will perk a little, but I don't think it will cause any big sustained rally. That will happen when a real and finalized deal emerges, which I bet they're just hoping to have by...

    Yes, the computational needs are definitely very serious. As I understand it, how current blockchains handle this is that they have nodes running which process transactions, and those nodes share in the transaction fee applied to each transaction. Right now, if I hop onto Metamask and want to...

    This was one of the primary real world use cases for NFTs. When we saw the NFT boom/bust recently it was really more of a proof of concept run for what NFTs could do. An NFT, by virtue of being "non fungible" means if functions like a cryptographically verifiable contract. When you think...
