Tears of the Kingdom is sooo much harder to me than Breath of the Wild. I’ve got a ton of hears, ton of stamina. Still rocking the worst armor ever. - Qale Jun 25, 19:36
Went down to the dive in the village and picked up dinner. Fish & Chips and a Greek Chicken salad. I now have food for three, maybe four dinners :) - Meg Jun 25, 19:11 6
- Yum! -- nm - Pippy 🏳️‍🌈 Jun 25, 20:01
- that's called real food. -- nm - loosilu Jun 25, 19:29
- I had Cod and Coleslaw for lunch. Decidedly mediocre so I envy your good fish and chips - crash davis 😺 Jun 25, 19:15 2
  - This place has history in town. It's right across the street from the Azteca Elvis themed Mexican restaurant and Kaye's Kitchen where I get ribs. -- (link) - Meg Jun 25, 19:30 1
    - I like the looks of that. Mangia! -- nm - crash davis 😺 Jun 25, 19:40
- that's the way to do it -- nm - prayformojo 🐵 Jun 25, 19:12
This honestly just makes the Prigozhin thing stupider. -- (link) - Reagen Jun 25, 19:03 11
- I thought the conventional wisdom was that he thought he had allies that he wound up not having. -- nm - Dano Jun 25, 19:33 1
  - Or...hear me out...a Ukrainian secret agent slipped some LSD into his daily cocaine ration. -- nm - crash davis 😺 Jun 25, 19:45
- Makes me think of when Latvia tweeted at Russia "No one is afraid of you anymore". smh -- nm - crash davis 😺 Jun 25, 19:26 1
  - Pity all the poor women and men at the Pentagon who have to spend the next week writing reports "Well this f**king sh** happened" - crash davis 😺 Jun 25, 19:37
- why? That's pretty much what I imagined, and the level of stupid too -- nm - mud Jun 25, 19:14 4
  - in that, did he not consider that ahead of time? -- nm - Reagen Jun 25, 19:17 3
    - he thought he had friends in the MoD that might shield him. turns out not so much. -- nm - mafic Jun 25, 19:48
    - "So you have a coup idea for me?" "Yes sir I do. It's called Take the Kremlin- Please! We'll do it with a cast slightly larger than the Expendables." - Russia Pitch Meeting Jun 25, 19:46 1
      - This is brilliant -- nm - Pippy 🏳️‍🌈 Jun 25, 20:07
- alright guys we're all good..yup, lineup in front of this ditch...yup all good.... -- nm - Beaker 🍻 Jun 25, 19:06 1
  - I'm pretty sure they'll be offered amnesty if they join the regular russian army and then they'll be ordered to charge a ukraine machine gun position -- nm - good luck comrad Jun 25, 19:14
*gets stuck on 4th rack of Digits for 40 minutes* *comes back to it 3 hours later, solves it in 30 seconds* -- nm - prayformojo 🐵 Jun 25, 18:52
Elton's final UK performance of Rocket Man at Glasto -- (link) - hollywood big shot Jun 25, 18:44 [youtube] 5
- Wonder if that was Joe Walsh but apparently it’s someone called Davey Johnstone. -- nm - Mop Jun 25, 20:09
- that would've been something to see -- nm - prayformojo 🐵 Jun 25, 18:49 3
  - 👍 -- nm - crash davis 😺 Jun 25, 19:03
  - well you could have flown over - hollywood big shot Jun 25, 18:54 1
    - He'd already been to Glastonbury once this year - Reagen Jun 25, 19:18
Hockey vets, how much attention should one pay to the +/- stat? -- nm - crash davis 😺 Jun 25, 18:40 13
- There’s no general “plus good, minus bad” kind of rule you can apply across the board. Needs to be taken in context with both the team and player. - mafic Jun 25, 19:07 7
  - The Athletic lately has been pushing Alex DeBrincat to the Kraken, but he is -31 so I don't know what to think about him - crash davis 😺 Jun 25, 19:10 6
    - never played on a good team, and 30 points on the PP in a -31 season. probably fine? -- nm - mafic Jun 25, 19:18 3
      - well I do want the Kraken to improve on the PP. I also want to trade Philip Grubauer straight up for Connor Hellebuyck but I don't think that will - crash davis 😺 Jun 25, 19:22 2
        
        I mean if you can convince Winnipeg that's a good deal, then sure. also you'd probs need to sign him to a $10 million/year extension. -- nm - mafic Jun 25, 19:46 1
        
        Yeah, evidently he has made it clear that he will not re-sign with Winnipeg when his contract runs out, so he is available. - crash davis 😺 Jun 25, 19:50
    - Talented, but tiny. Half his points were on the PP, which could explain some of the +/-. Also was playing top line for Ottawa, vs 2nd line for Chicago - Reagen Jun 25, 19:17 1
      - Gracias! -- nm - crash davis 😺 Jun 25, 19:19
- wildly flawed but situationally interesting. - Reagen Jun 25, 18:52 1
  - Thanks. I can't tell if it is useful at all. -- nm - crash davis 😺 Jun 25, 19:07
- a lot - prayformojo 🐵 Jun 25, 18:43
- Its a fair indicator over time. Either youre productive or not. Better as a relative indicator vs others at the position -- nm* - budice Jun 25, 18:41 1
  - Let me get specific: Alex DeBrincat 27G, 39A, 66Pts, +/- -31 -- nm - crash davis 😺 Jun 25, 18:48
Holee effing sheet, Pixar! (NM) - Marlowe Jun 25, 18:21 5

  - In a very good way. (NM) - Marlowe Jun 25, 19:02 3
    - Its hold suggest that it's winning people over. I think we might get an Elemental 2 eventually. -- nm - David Jun 25, 19:06 2
      - I'll give you that it has story beats that will always grab me and not let me go. (spoilers) - Marlowe Jun 25, 19:14 1
        
        Exactly. I knew it was coming, and I still wasn't prepared. -- nm - David Jun 25, 19:20

Vegan NYC landlord refuses to rent apartments to tenants that cook meat, fish -- (link) - Ender Jun 25, 17:37 3
- Since it's a landlord's market, he can. -- nm - loosilu Jun 25, 17:38 2
  - Only if NYC law permits it. -- nm - TWuG Jun 25, 17:45 1
    - Not sure why not…vegan isn’t a protected class. -- nm - Will Hunting 🍔🍟🍔🍹🍷 Jun 25, 17:52

- cool article, I had no idea this was possibly beginning to be a thing -- nm - crash davis 😺 Jun 25, 17:57
I owe David a slight apology. He was mostly right and I was somewhat wrong about Putin's control over the internet. Even though thousands of critics - crash davis 😺 Jun 25, 17:31 12

      - Actually, I am thinking that Trudeau recently made a larger arms commitment to Ukraine and it may have involved that. -- nm - crash davis 😺 Jun 25, 17:59
- Kraken is a stupid name. -- nm - David Jun 25, 17:33 7
  - Lets put a pin in that. Got to deal with the Golden Thugs, Team McDavid, and King Canuck's Flaming Sharkducks. Then I'll circle back around to you. - crash davis 😺 Jun 25, 17:40 6
    - What's important here is that Connor McDavid fucks. -- nm - David Jun 25, 17:49 5
      - He does, but his jamming music is Nickleback. If I was to speculate, mostly How You Remind Me. -- nm* - crash davis 😺 Jun 25, 17:50 4
        
        No, that's Jimmy Butler. -- nm - David Jun 25, 17:52 3

  - You basically marinate your feet in exfoliants for an hour, then a couple days to a week later everything starts coming off. -- (link) - znufrii Jun 25, 17:03 2

Went to bed bath and beyond for a new pyrex measuring cup, which they didn't have. Ended up with two serving trays, a pillow, and whiskey glasses. -- (edited) - sycor Jun 25, 16:35 8
- New pyrex (all lowercase) is shit, don't bother. -- nm - loosilu Jun 25, 16:40 6
  - I guess I should have just said glass measuring cup. Not even sure they sold pyrex. Anchor Hocking? - sycor Jun 25, 16:46 5
    - I just looked at my measuring cups and they are Anchor Hocking. They have served me well for 20 years plus. Get that. -- nm - loosilu Jun 25, 16:52 3
      - I have an OLD Anchor that decided it didn't want to measure anymore. Ran it through the dish washer all the lines washed off. - sycor Jun 25, 16:58 1
        
        There must be a way to repaint the lines. The internet must know. -- nm - loosilu Jun 25, 17:02

I can't tell from reading ST, is anyone else doing a deep dive (ha ha) into Oceangate and Stockton Rush? -- nm - loosilu Jun 25, 16:33 10
- No. Why bother? He was smart enough to get close in an endeavor close was instantly fatal. That's it. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 25, 16:35 9
  - It's not it at all. He styled himself as a guru and it worked. He convinced the best experts in the world. -- nm - loosilu Jun 25, 16:36 8
    - DID he convince the best experts? All I've seen is experts telling him it was dangerous. -- nm - Ender Jun 25, 16:41 7
      - PH was in the sub. PH was legendary. He was one of the people who discovered the Titanic wreck. -- nm - loosilu Jun 25, 16:42 6
        
        If I've learned anything, experts about everything are often the least likely to question opportunities to explore their passion. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 25, 16:58 5
        
        WE know that. Having PH on board convinced a LOT of customers. This is a truly amazing con job. - loosilu Jun 25, 17:06 4
        
        Given he went down to the wreck more than once in that invention, I'm not seeing the con job. - Will Hunting Jun 25, 17:11 3
        
        That's the question. He genuinely believed in it. And also cut corners and hid safety concerns from customers. - loosilu Jun 25, 17:36
