Meanwhile in New Zealand they're back in lockdown because they have a total of 78 cases inside the country right now. They've had a total of 3000 cases and 26 deaths.

It's amazing what good government means in different places. Hell, it's amazing to me that anyone could still think diversity is a benefit after looking how well homogeneous societies have done against covid as opposed to diverse nightmares like America, Great Britain, India and Western Europe

No, it's not. What's harsh is all the people who never aborted the mistakes they made who are now clogging up our hospitals being sick with a virus they could have avoided.

Have you decided what you will invest in: guns or butter?
- Atomic Wedgie



Crypto currency maaaaaaan

I was thinking more like car parts because those are at least being shipped over from overseas.

I am curious how the NHL season is going to go with players not getting their full supply of sticks and equipment. Both my CCM and Bauer reps have told me their shipping containers are getting bumped off of cargo ships because GM and other car makers are paying up to $40,000 for a shipping container to get sent over. Bauer and CCM both have shipping containers sitting on the docks...

So if I had to invest in something it would be cargo ships!

I would be very happy if he hit that

But to be fair I don't think he will get 20 minutes a night. I would be surprised if any forward gets 20 minutes a night.

Going back to the tank years where it was spread out there wasn't a Sabres forward that had 20 minutes a night. Ott was the closest at 19:42

I'm wildly optimistic every year. It's a problem.

I think Mitts puts up 60 points this year. That's my hot take. 20 mins a night with PP time

- Hank Balling


You and Taco are by far the most optimistic Sabres fans here every year, and I envy the optimism, as I'm a long time broken Sabres fan who's been beaten down by a decade of bad decision making.

I think they'll be entertaining on many nights, but they are going to bad, and will likely finished 32nd, or at best 30th.

I just don't see how their goaltending holds up.

I find it strange that just about the only thing that Trump got right was ending the unwinnable war in Afghanistan, and now Trump cult members won’t even take the win.

The 2013-2014 Sabres didn't have 1 60 point player on their roster, hell they didn't even have a 50 point player on their roster, neither did the 2014-2015 Sabres.

- Stripes77

I am absolutely disgusted that this is all being politicized. I once again stand by my statement: The chimp gene needs to die so the rest of us can clean up the mess.

Both sides have politicized the virus, the vaccine and everything related to them. Like I said, even Trump had a rally yesterday and told his people to get the vaccine and they booed him for it.

We need the chimp gene to be cleansed. If COVID and ignorance team up to do it, so be it. The problem is all the people who are caught in the cross-fire, like with any war - Be it a war of words, armies, ideals or ethics. Innocent people die and suffer because some people think they know everything and have actual "freedoms" - And further still, they think those freedoms mean they can make decisions for themselves regardless of how it effects others.

This isn't ending any time soon, either, unfortunately.

- Jet Jaguar BD



In your next post you state it’s people of one ethnicity not getting the vaccine (statistics say it’s African Americans by far the biggest group) and you keep saying “chimp gene”. You are disgusting….

It's an observation of reality post. Ostensibly, Japan and Great Britain should have similar numbers on Covid as both are islands with a large population and highly developed economies and medical infrastructure. One happens to be diverse; one happens to be homogenous.

Great Britain : 132,000 dead
Japan: 15,600 dead

Let's not even get into which is a safer society in normal times either as evidenced by crime rates.

Edit: Japan managed to host an Olympics during all of this too. Could you imagine the concentration camp numbers that would have come out if the Olympics were held in GB or America?

Hahahaha okay buddy, you're the one that made that correlation.

I honestly meant the Trump supporters when I said chimp-gene, but you can think whatever you want.

Highest percentage group to not be vaccinated are PhD holders. Take that for what it's worth

Overthinking things. I have a PHD and didn’t overthink things. Vaccine had a very simple molecular makeup and shouldn’t have future ramifications. Biggest q with it is how soon a booster will be needed.

How did non vaxing work for Dawkins?

There is a stark political divide in US vaccination rates, with counties that tilted toward Joe Biden in the last election showing higher rates than counties that leaned toward Donald Trump. Charles Gaba/ACASignups.net

Income is another dividing line. Lower-income brackets appear to have a higher share of unvaccinated people than higher-income brackets.


Yeah all those poor phD holders

Not sure exactly , but something harmless and fun.

We have some time to work out some provisions.

Cody. Eakin. (TM sbroads)


I posted that he was an upgrade from larry, who I also liked. It's a scar I'll continue to wear....

Maybe some injury protection provisions or possibly a buy out provision 🤔

Looks like this summer you could get a free vaccine shot with your lobster bisque and $399.99 sweatshirt on Nantucket.
