@JeremyWGR Will be their undoing in the 1st round. Need to fix it ASAP.

Obligatory PP is trash tweet. Sabres Power Play: Drop passes - like 5 Seconds of ozone poss - also like 5

@Idcidk2024 @buffalofoodslut Not once you get outside the cities.

@buffalofoodslut You live in the wrong state for that homie. NY/Buffalo is filled with liberal soy boy anime gamer he/hims. Good luck and Happy Easter to you and your family 🙏

Just wanna make out with a real manly man

@buffalofoodslut Great news, I’m available. I have many leather-bound books, and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.

@prairiehsewife Got a pair of dishwasher safe tumblers with handles and lids that can use a straw or just the flip thing. From BJ’s.

Guys, all I want are water bottles for my kids that are -Single-walled stainless steel -Top without a straw where you don’t touch the mouthpiece to open/close -Dishwasher safe -Come in colors It’s like a unicorn

@joemillerwired Too expensive and too much of a hassle to go out regularly.

The village of Hamburg is turning into the place to be on Friday and Saturday night, thanks in large part to Sandbaggers, which is spilling into the sidewalk tonight with the garage doors open. Are people beginning to realize that it’s more fun to go out and stay locked in your houses finally?

If you’re not from Buffalo it’s difficult to explain how iconic RJ is. He was by far the best play by play guy in hockey. #nhl #sabrehood

@smaho13 I’m thinking of Pappas tonight for beers and the Sabres game. Maybe some Golden Tee. I don’t know, might get crazy with some darts too.

@alon_mizrahi Where you’re wrong here is this isn’t the USA calling the shots. It’s Israel.

Some vital additional context: This war, if it does break, will take place right at the doorstep of both Russia and China. And this is highly significant for a number of reasons: 1. Logistically, this proximity guarantees Iran will have easy access to virtually unlimited shipments of arms and munitions by land, sea, and air. The Western logistical mission will be 100 times more difficult. 2. Both Russia and China must hate very much the idea of an American takeover of Iran. Russia because it knows this new territory will be used for further hostilities against it, potentially complicating its Ukraine campaign. Russia has never had to seriously defend against strategic hostile activity from this area, and it knows it cannot allow this to happen. China knows that an American takeover of Iran will put its Belt and Road initiative in shambles, and will provide the American a huge new platform to mess with China and try to destabilize it. 3. This is not 2002. By now it is clear to everyone involved that US influence is poisonous and destructive on a massive scale. We all saw Iraq, Libya, Yemen, Syria, and Afghanistan. By now it is exceedingly clear the US it literally destroying human society to remain the sole source of power, money, and stability. Opposition to US interventionism today is much more deeply rooted and widespread than 30 years ago. The Americans will be perceived as reckless destructive imperialists, and Russia and China will be the ones working for order and normalcy. In going to war against Iran the US will undertake not only an impossible military task, it will have to relinquish any remaining pretense it has as a civilizational power for good. This will have a major, major impact on American anti-war movements at home. No one can anticipate what this new political awareness (already crystalizing over Gaza) will do to America itself, as regards its relative political stability.

Let's spend coffee time playing a little wargame in which the US decides to take on Iran and commit to a full war against it Look at this map. Where could the US stage an invasion of Iran? To Iran's east, you'll find Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Turkmenistan. A big triple no. To Iran's south: the Persian Gulf which it completely dominates. No good. To Iran's west: Iraq and Turkiye. The first a definite no, the second, a no so probable it must be considered a certain. Turkiye will not go to war with Iran for the US and Israel - a war not only sure to decimate it, but a war Turkich people will be fanatically against. To Iran's north is the Caspian Sea. No use. Azerbaijan and Armenia present an opening, but how will hundreds of thousands of NATO soldiers get there (let alone undetected)? If they go by sea, they will need to traverse the Mediterranean and the Black Sea and virtually physically go through Istanbul. Not only politically complicated, but a long long journey that gives Iran tons of time to prepare. Remember the months and months the US took to amass forces for the Iraq invasion? It took 6 months or so - with no interruptions. The problem is, with Iran, there's no way they're going to simply build up forces near the designated target's borders. Iran has an arsenal of hundreds of thousands of guided and precise ballistic missiles, satellites in space and eyes almost everywhere. If a war is declared or started, every American asset within 0-3000 kilometers of Iran's borders will be bombarded so viciously no missile defense system will be able to stop it. And all those dozens and dozens of American bases scattered throughout the vast area surrounding Iran? How will the US defend them under an attack on a scale of 1000 October 7th's combined? Additionally, Iran has the most sophisticated anti-ship missiles in the world (Russia's Yakhont), of which it probably has thousands by now. This means no surface ship is going to be able to come close enough to Iran to make it an effective striking weapon (is this going to be the first time we get to see an aircraft carrier drowning? I believe potentially yes). The US will have to rely on air superiority, but this is going to prove a very difficult, almost impossible task. US planes will have to fly a long way to get to Iran (and back), and it has invested massively in air defense systems, including some of the most sophisticated in Russia's arsenal. The US will lose many planes which will take years to replenish, and Iran will be able to target with ballistic missiles and drones all the bases from which they take off in Europe or the Middle East. Another tool the US will use is cruise missiles fired from submarines: but this, too, does not win wars, and can be costly against a rival that prepared for this. A full-scale invasion of Iran will require potentially millions of soldiers and will take years. The West is simply incapable of an effort of this kind: where will they find millions of young men willing to die at sea in order to occupy a country thousands of miles away? Today? Give me a break. All this time the Iranians will be defending their home and their independence. The West will be trying to colonize and destroy them. They will have Gaza on their minds. - I didn't mention Israel because it is virtually irrelevant in this war. Hizbullah alone is enough to paralyze it and keep its military busy for months. - Bonus point: think about what happens to energy prices in an actual war with Iran. 500$ for an oil barrel? 1000$? 2000$? All is possible. Guess what country will remain the biggest international producer and exporter of oil and gas, and rip all those extra many, many trillions. You guessed tight. Russia. If the Persian Gulf is up in flames, Russia will become a global economic superpower (at a time when the US is dwindled militarily and economically and cannot even fake a military threat against it). - Another bonus point: you think Iran cannot, or will not attack on American soil? Think again. From cyber attacks to large-scale, professional, military-level sabotage and guerrilla warfare, in a war with Iran life in the US will definitely not be business as usual, and not only because inflation will be something 200%, and thousands of dead soldiers will return home in coffins every month for a long time. - The US cannot win a war against Iran. And I believe all parties involved know it. The only thing that remains unknown is how insane and self-destructive the US has become under Netanyahu's and AIPAC's, how shall we call it, influence

@NateGearySports Whitlock? He actually sees what’s going on.

This is SO easy. 1. Whitlock 2. Stephen A. 3. Skip

@gothburz Man fuck Oracle.

I am the VP of Workforce Economics at Oracle. We are worth $420 billion. On Tuesday, we sent 30,000 employees a termination email at 6 AM. Not 9. Not business hours. Six in the morning. They woke up to the word "eliminated." The email came from "Oracle Leadership." Not a manager. Not a name. Oracle Leadership. It said: "We are grateful for your dedication, hard work, and the impact you have made." By the time they read the word "grateful," their access to email, files, and Slack had already been revoked. The gratitude was the last Oracle communication they received. We did not eliminate the roles. We eliminated the salaries. In the same fiscal year, we filed 3,126 H-1B petitions to hire foreign workers. 436 this year alone. The roles are identical. The pay is not. An H-1B software engineer earns $87,000. The domestic median for the same work is $106,000. Eighty-three percent of H-1B workers are classified at entry-level wages for senior positions. The industry calls this a skills gap. It is a pay cut that requires a passport. The visa is tied to the employer. If the worker leaves, they lose their legal right to remain in the country. If they negotiate, they risk the same. If they organize, the sponsor declines to renew. That is retention. Our revenue this quarter is $17.2 billion. Up 22%. Net income up 95%. We have $553 billion in committed future contracts. Up 325%. These are not the numbers of a company that needs to lay anyone off. We took a $2.1 billion restructuring charge. That is the cost of the gratitude. It frees up $8 to $10 billion in annual cash flow. That cash services $156 billion in AI data centers we are building. Starting 2028, OpenAI pays us $82 million per day. Larry Ellison is worth $189 billion. He pledged $51 billion in Oracle shares as collateral for the Stargate AI venture. Announced at the White House. The stock rose 4% on Tuesday. The day of the 6 AM emails. Wall Street did not see 30,000 people. They saw the margin. Amazon laid off 30,000 since October. Filed thousands of H-1B petitions in the same window. This is not one company. This is the operating model. Fire the salary. Keep the role. Fill it with someone whose legal right to remain in the country depends on your continued sponsorship. Pay them less. They will not complain. They cannot. One employee's father worked at Oracle for 20 years. No phone call. No meeting. An email at 6 AM and a locked laptop. The role is still open. The people we fired are free. The people we hired are not.

@TheRyan2point0h For fucks sake. So what? A call that went viral was a jump off point for a podcast. You felt the need to comment and repost? Sounds like you’re just looking for engagement.

"I genuinely don't like talking about myself or this call"... Proceeds to make a glam video, then tags Spittin Chiclets for attn. And stop trying to make #WeAreAllDuane a thing. This guy's only famous for trying to milk an entire career out of a whiny call to local sports radio

@_sorrengailll Just use an iPhone with screen time restrictions. Really not that hard. Works on wifi only, same thing as an iPod touch. Works great for kids.

Dear Apple, bring back the iPod but make it modern. Not for nostalgia, but for parents who want their kids to experience music and audiobooks without the distractions of apps, browsers, and social media.

@TheEXECUTlONER_ On a garage maybe. Materials will likely cost you more than what a roofing company pays. You’ll also need tools. And then the value of your time. I’ll do just about anything on my house. But if it involves water I prefer to trust a pro.

This woman couldn’t afford the price she was quoted for a new roof. So…..she did it herself. If you read the shingles package, it literally tells you how to install the underlayment & shingles on a roof. Nothing more motivating than saving a LARGE amount of money. Would you ever attempt this? 🤔 That is some tough labor.👏💯

@2Goalies1Mic @DuaneS39 Krebs

If the #SabreHood VS. #GoSensGo game goes to OT, Who would you want to score the playoff clinching goal the most???

@Challenger_ST Do sprinters not warm up and stretch? The fuck. Jogging back and forth a few times to get loose isn’t training for a marathon.

Jason & Travis Kelce talking about the ridiculousness of baseball conditioning… “It makes no sense.” “You should be running SPRINTS or doing base running. Not running foul pole to foul pole.” STOP treating baseball players like marathoners

@davepl1968 What in god’s name would make you think this was a good idea to post such an incorrect statement?

99.9% of people who "experienced" the Challenger disaster saw it on replay and now remember it as live. Almost NO ONE was watching. Everyone thinks they were. It's a fascinating collective false memory.

@smaho13 I accept your terms.

@elonmusk $530/mo “affordable” 🤣

True

@Ambar_SIFF_MRA Not wrong but I mean she’s a 10.

Henry Cavill and his longtime partner, Natalie Viscuso. They aren't particularly looks-matched. Most would agree he is noticeably better looking than her. Yet examples like this are quite common. It highlights how men frequently prioritize loyalty, honesty, and compatibility over purely superficial looks.

@Fred_Williams4 @ProV1Smile Hockey players drink beer in the shower and it 100% belongs on this list.

@ProV1Smile what are you like 19...who drinks beers in the shower after that like 1 or 2 times you do it in college because you heard it gets you drunk quicker

Spitballing top 5 beers 1. Free beer 2. First beer of the weekend 3. AM airport beer 4. Campfire beer 5. Shower beer Taking input. Never afraid of constructive criticism.
