@FriedgeHNIC I think the question about teams making the finals without a top five draft pick player had the intent of the player being the teams own high pick. Trading for a high pick player means a tank for the player was not necessary.

32 Thoughts Monday morning pod. We taped something weeks ago with Mathew Barzal & Matthew Schaefer. While the Islanders season did not as hoped, the interview was still very good. So we're running it Links here: sportsnet.ca/podcasts/32-th… Have an awesome week

@RussoHockey How many times does Tarasenko need to show he can’t play on a line where he isn’t “the man” before they stop trying it?

Johansson now with Kaprizov and Hartman. Was about time. Tarasenko and Kaprizov wasn't working at all

@RussoHockey @nytimes Great work! I really enjoyed this piece, well written.

@JessRMyers I miss section games at the Coliseum… nothing has replaced it imo

Section title games are way, way better than anything you’ll see at GCA next week. Best hockey of the season, at any level.

@BigBearButt Dungeons of Eternity is great fun, good to hear you're getting Steam VR working too. If you haven't tried it yet, Google Earth in Steam VR is a blast: superman your way across the city/state/country. The Quest 3 battery is pretty sad, I use amazon.com/dp/B0CLGK5YK6 to extend play

Just played Dungeons of Eternity on Steam VR (with a Quest 3 headset) with my son for two hours. It has up to 4 player co-op. And it feels like you’re playing Diablo in person. Throwing an axe across a room to split a skeleton skull is amazing. I’m thrilled rn.

@BigBearButt He’s one of the few aui reached out by email to thank. Wish I still had his reply, but it was kind. A beauty for sure.

@ronenelson Only convention dedicated to a single author I ever attended was for Terry Pratchett, I had to travel out of state, wife and son came with me, dropped me off at the con and toured the city without me so I could geek out alone. Blessed to be there and see him.

Some of my favorite books of all time. The greatest. Armor by John Steakley. Sten series by Allen Cole and Chris Bunch. Mayflies by Kevin O’Donnell Jr. The Count of Monte Cristo. Spenser series by Robert Parker. Hunter’s Moon series by Walt Robillard. What are some of yours?

@PaulTassi Facebook marketplace price here is under $105, several available every time I check (PS5 about the same price)

Please show me a single person who is spending $650 on an Xbox Series X five years after release

Any donation is tremendous but even just a share of give.fightingblindness.org/team/758969 or @FightBlindness would be awesome. The VisionWalk is 9/20 at the Lake Harriet bandshell and my buddy @NordyWild along with @OriolesHSHockey. Hope to see you there too and THANKS!

I got on!

Sadness is @Delta manager not letting me go on standby because my flight is a red-eye boarding at 11:55 PM but not leaving until 12:35 AM. It’s not a today flight so enjoy the extra 6 hots in the terminal…

@emlovessleep Yeah true, all I could share is for Twin Cities Geeks :)

@ronenelson Yeah but you can’t just find a discord server, you have to have an invite code or link

I miss message boards. It’s so hard to find an online community to connect with these days

@pwns0uls @CraigHRowland I think this is a valid point. The fact that there has been public audits and reviews of open source software projects means that there is more then zero external review. Math tells me that's more external review then closed source software gets.

@CraigHRowland I get the point, but I’d still trust open source more, at least anyone can look at the code. With closed source, you’re just hoping someone did things right, but you can’t really know / check

Open source being more secure has always been a myth. Very few devs want to spend time auditing code. If the original author didn't find the bug at time of writing it, it almost never gets seen because nobody is taking the time to go back and look (except red team).

@BigBearButt Loot did strange things to people… sad

That moment when I randomly remember leading a Black Temple guild raid in WoW with a group of ‘friends’ for my wife Cassie the Rogue to get a chance for the Warglaives of Azzinoth to drop, one does, and one of the friends demands it. Not when it was current content.

@shaynagoldman_ It’s abuse of season ticket holders as well as players. Cash grab

an 82 game season is long enough to mix-and-match and test things. no need for this many preseason games on top of that

i know preseason is a chance for up-and-comers to make the team/coaches to test our their full lineups... but this is far too long

Here is what they should've told you. When websites get hacked, it's common for all the logins/passwords to be scraped and traded on the dark net to other hackers. Hackers build up these databases that are now decades old. An average hacker can have over a billion records in their personal database, though it's mostly duplicates, invalids, error filled, or otherwise junk. Just because some cybersecurity researcher saw one database briefly exposed doesn't really mean anything. When you use the same password for all your accounts, that means the hack of one website will let hackers break into your other accounts. They broke into basktweavers.com (a crappy website), stole your password that they can use against gmail.com. The solution is to use different passwords for different websites. It's the #1 thing you can do to improve your cybersecurity. If you don't do it, then nothing else you do to secure your computer/accounts matters. One solution is to write them down on paper. This sounds bad as burglars can steal the paper, but in practice it's pretty safe. The recommended solution is to use "Password Managers". Apple has their own solution built into iPhone and macOS. I use a separate product that also works on Windows, Android, and Linux.
