I'm pretty sure they are also in for a rude awakening. The NHL literally just doesn't give a shit about the product or the long term results of these contracts, and instead just wants to chase short term payouts for the ownership groups. It'll be so front loaded it's not even funny, and probably involves a sizeable initial payment right up front to ownership. Their "grow the game" spiel is getting pretty tiring and is just lip service, grow their wallets would be a more apt description. They pretty clearly don't give a shit about their fanbases. Most of whom will continue to follow them like mindless robots, cheering for teams that haven't won since Reagan (or even Nixon) and have zero accountability for it.

The major league product is so over monetized that its comical to watch live, they play like two plays then everyone stands around for five minutes talking to each other while the TV commercials play. Can't go to a game affordably anymore anyways. $ea$ons becoming $o damn long it's turning into baseball, where the first half of the $ea$on arguably doesn't even matter. You need to fork out hundreds a year to follow along, half the games blacked out, and then listen to them piss and moan about piracy. It's nuts. Can't listen to it on the radio here because their Robellus Monopoly just shit canned any free method of watching or listening.

Fuck em.

Office wasn't in use as much back then, that was still Lotus and WordPerfect territory. DOS was ok if you knew how to really use it, and it took some learning. I've always been a simplicity over fancy UI kind of guy though, so maybe it was just me.

I played the lights off that 25th anniversary edition one. Even more so when someone got the walkthrough for me off the ol local BBS

You can say the same about any full sized truck at this point, everything's ginormous. Just drove my FIL's 1500 series Chevrolet the other day, that things ridiculous in size. It probably won't be any smaller, or maybe just a tiny bit (I'm unsure for exact dimensions).

It takes a lot of finagling. People like you and me, we can minimize it. Custom Roms, PiHoles, VPN, onionized, etc. But the general joe? No chance.

I also don't fully 100% believe that there isn't technology at this point that renders all of the above moot. We probably just don't fully know about it all yet.

BMW is like wha ha ha ha

Hold my beer, or whatever that is in German.

I'd really like to see some major changes on the conditioning fronts. They clearly need better trainers, better programs and better off-season conditioning regimes.

This goes for all Toronto sports teams btw.

So what do we do about my evil twin brother who is a supervillain?

I didn't believe this was a problem until I watched my wife and her twin sister unlocking each others phones (they aren't identical but they do look quite a lot alike)

I mean if you have a phone in your pocket, you are completely dicked. I'm not saying we should be accepting it (dont), but it's completely fucking hopeless right now. We are boxed in on all fronts.

It always booted fast enough (well as fast as computers were then). It was pretty fucking useless though. Dos was still way more useful and efficient in those days.

I'm not in America, but they are fairly rare where I live (Canada). Like if I go for a drive in traffic on a commute, I maybe will see one or two at the very most. And it's usually the same ones that I am seeing when I do see them.

I mean the market for a vehicle that's >100k, looks like the truck you drew as a child when you were asked to draw a truck, that has almost zero utility and almost certainly has to be awkward as fuck to drive and park due to its width and size, I mean that market is right next to zero. My seven year old is pretty into them though.

On the second part, why don't you just leave peoples vehicles alone? I mean I dont like Nissans either, but I'm not out laying subtle hints to damage people's property because I don't like them. That doesn't make anyone sympathetic to a cause, it makes them more steadfast for whatever you are against. Absolute 1d thinking.
