GA SCOTUS blocks the political commission that could have removed DA prosecutors running investigations they didn't like (Maddow) -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 27, 21:40 1
- I'm betting the GA politicians who made the awful law, will find out if they remove a council, they can return as second chair & still run the trial. -- nm* - Peglegpete Nov 27, 22:00
Looney Tunes not leaving MAX. Just the movie Looney Tunes Back in Action. -- nm - MDH Nov 27, 21:32 3
- Fuckers heard the backlash and walked it back. I looked it up earlier and all the shows were on the list. Now they're not. -- (link) - Mop🧹 Nov 27, 21:39 2
  - Heh. The new statement says “it was originally included in error” -- nm - MDH Nov 27, 21:42 1
    - There were at least two titles, "Looney Tunes" and "The Looney Tunes Show". That doesn't feel like a mistake. -- nm - Mop🧹 Nov 27, 21:47

- that's terrific -- nm - prayformojo 🐵 Nov 28, 04:28
- 6:58 today, which is a little slow for a Tuesday. would've been about average (6:15) but for a typo I had to hunt down. -- nm - mafic Nov 27, 23:11

Hmm, the Von's market I stopped using when they installed an armed security guard has re-opened under the Albertsons name. - Meg Nov 27, 20:07 4
- a lot of the SoCal & Nevada Vons/Albertsons were bought by Kroger 2 years ago. -- nm - Peglegpete Nov 27, 20:53 3
  - These aren't running under the Kroger banner - so far. They have their own separate loyalty program. -- nm - Meg Nov 27, 21:10 2
    - same here. V&A have senior discounts on the 1'st. wed. every month. the local Smiths [also owned by Kroger] does not offer it. -- nm - Peglegpete Nov 27, 21:55 1
      - for the most part, Kroger has kept things as they were before the buyout. a rare occasion of a takeover and not changing stuff. -- nm - Peglegpete Nov 27, 21:57

A Murder At The End Of The World: what is the ST judgement? Good, bad, indifferent? -- nm - crash davis 😺 Nov 27, 18:53 5
- I gave the first two episodes a C. It's pretty to look at but needs more substance. -- nm - zunk takes things literally Nov 27, 19:25
- I'll reserve judgment 'til the last ep. There's great Icelandic vistas and Corrin is terrific. -- nm - mud Nov 27, 19:12

  - gracias, I'm going to miss your recommendations after you buy your comic book shop in New Zealand -- nm - crash davis 😺 Nov 27, 19:00
I know many are avoiding reddit but the cats with jobs subreddit is honestly one of the most wholesome places on earth. -- (link) - amandaphone Nov 27, 18:48
"And then everyone on the ice has a ten minute misconduct" - Ott-Fla Nov 27, 18:41 35
- There are only 5 players left on the Ottawa bench, 6 on the Florida. THIS IS AMAZING -- nm - Reagen Nov 27, 18:48 34
  - They just put up a "Players Remaining In This Game" graphic, which is spectacular. -- nm - Reagen Nov 27, 18:51 33
    - I'm happy for you -- nm - prayformojo 🐵 Nov 27, 19:11
    - 167 penalty minutes. that's certainly something. -- nm - mafic Nov 27, 19:03 1
      - though the NHL records page only lists games with over 200 minutes, of which there are 86. -- (link) - mafic Nov 27, 19:08
    - Please link me to all possible videos. -- nm - David Nov 27, 19:01 26
      - Penalty call -- (link) - Reagen Nov 27, 19:54 25
        
        too many Tkachuks -- nm - mafic Nov 27, 21:01
        
        Spectacular!!! -- nm - David Nov 27, 20:10 9
        
        There were Tkachuks on both teams and I haven't found it yet, but there were shots while this was going on of Gramma Tkachuk looking disgusted. -- nm - Reagen Nov 27, 20:44 8
        
        0:28 in your link here -- (link) - crash davis 😺 Nov 27, 20:55 [Backboard]
        
        I'd love to see pics of that if you can find them. Sports Center is stubbornly covering the Vikes/Bears debacle, and YouTube isn't turning up results. -- nm - David Nov 27, 20:49 6
        
        Sportsnet.ca’s home page is just a giant picture of the brawl. -- (link) - Mop🧹 Nov 27, 21:14 1
        
        Lots of videos on Sportsnet.ca, and they all load right away, no ads. Man, the Panthers were just all over the Senators. -- nm - Mop🧹 Nov 27, 21:18
        
        TSN at least knows what’s important. Their headline was all about the brawl. -- (link) - Mop🧹 Nov 27, 21:13
        
        The story on ESPN.com barely mentions what is surely a rather momentous night in the NHL. I mean, the league will be talking about it all season. -- (link) - Mop🧹 Nov 27, 21:09 2
        
        What’s even more frustrating is that hockey got more boring when they banned bench clearing brawls. Now they eject all the players on the ice. - Mop🧹 Nov 27, 21:10 1
        
        But I love that there's a ref gesture for "all the players on the ice". -- nm - Mop🧹 Nov 27, 21:40
        
        The source of the penalties -- (link) - Reagen Nov 27, 19:55 13

        Paul Maurice counting how many he has left -- (link) - Reagen Nov 27, 20:01 11
        
        Serious question: Is there such a thing as playing short-handed in the NHL? -- nm - David Nov 27, 20:17 10
        
        as in during a shift, or during a game? - Reagen Nov 27, 20:24 9
        
        So, what would have happened if they'd had more suspended than they had bench players? Would the penalties have been taken in shifts? -- nm - David Nov 27, 20:27 2
        
        I *think* (but don't know for sure) if enough had been sent in we'd get a "The Game Is Over" call - Reagen Nov 27, 20:31 1
        
        it's happened in the KHL (3:39 of the 1st period!). game over, both teams took a loss. -- (link) - mafic Nov 27, 20:53
        
        don't teams also have non dressed travelling players they can yank into emergencies? -- nm - crash davis 😺 Nov 27, 20:26 5
        
        not mid-game. like there might be a healthy scratch or two that travel with the team, but I don't think you can dress them mid-game. - mafic Nov 27, 20:37 3
        
        Calgary had to put one on the bench tonight! - Reagen Nov 27, 20:45 2
        
        Thanks guys -- nm - crash davis 😺 Nov 27, 20:53 1
        
        It was some healthy scratches I've seen travelling with a team -- nm - crash davis 😺 Nov 27, 20:58
        
        if you're not on the game sheet at the start, you can't come into the game. -- nm - Reagen Nov 27, 20:27
    - I've switched over. 30 seconds left -- nm - crash davis 😺 Nov 27, 18:57 1
      - Was there a major fight or something? -- nm - crash davis 😺 Nov 27, 19:01
    - that's fantastic -- nm - Tim Nov 27, 18:57
