So with the Sabres off this week, my plan is to buy the game pass to watch Roch/Wilkes Barre on Wednesday and write about that. Looks like Wilkes Barre just had a game postponed though so we'll see if that game actually happens

You inspired me to get some last night for dinner. They were pulling it out of the fryer just as I walked up to the counter. Om nom.

So much cheaper, especially when you're only paying .25 cents a hour for your workers. My Company use to buy certain things from China knowing it wouldn't meet specifications but it was still cheaper to buy there rework in are Machine Shop then pay prices around here.

That’s the thing people want to female dog about china but I guarantee that they would be 50X more upset about the cost of goods if it were manufactured here.

Double edged sword.

Now that dear orange leader put his blessing on the vaccine and booster, I feel more comfortable discussing it.

Dr. Vinnie "Boombatz" Hinostroza is now on the Covid protocol list.

For all of you young (frank)s... That's a reference to Rodney Dangerfield's doctor.

It's also not just China.

Check the label on anything from Nike and it's been made in a country where the labor is super cheap.

We've priced ourselves out of the homemade Manufacturing Industry with wages and material cost. Even buying steel and certain other stuff from Canada is super expensive.

His appearances on Johnny Carson’s Tonight Show are classic.

We used to have huge steel cylinders made in China for us to use in some stuff we made for Earthquakes. We sent some reps over there and they took pictures of the kids using big rollers to grease up the parts before they were put on the ship so they didn't rust from the sea salt. Kids had to be around 10.

Could be, but think Tank Command will have to make some adjustments then. Not saying playoffs here we come, but bottom 5 might not happen with UPL.

Sources say there has been conversation today about a possible league-wide shutdown effective tomorrow. The situation remains very fluid. No decision yet.

Now just 7 games left before Christmas break.

44 games have been postponed this season, 39 in last 7 days.
