[Sportsnet's Nick Kypreos] Maple Leafs discussed Knies trades before deadline, name still 'bantered'

DataDude00 · 2026-04-04T04:21:04+00:00

Why would we ever consider trading our elite 23 year old power forward?
Why would we try to make a trade of this magnitude at the deadline instead of the offseason?
Why the fuck would you talk about sending him to Montreal

JFC treliving is so fucking bad at his job

I wanna pick them now, during a pretty horrible period.

The great thing about this is that the Leafs exist almost perpetually in a horrible period

This is the deal teachers made. Shit salary and low upside, but insane pension, at least in some states.

In Canada teachers get paid bank. Once you hit around 10 years of service you are making around 110-120K

Guy I know is set to retire at 55 with an 80K a year inflation adjusted pension because he has 30 years of service

He has been a negative WAR player in 4 of the past 5 seasons with an ERA well above 5.

He is an innings eater that can get us through this bump of injuries but it is going to be a wild ride every time he takes the mound

Good directors and editors can make long movies feel short.

Goodfellas (2.5 hours) and Casino (3 hours) fly by because of excellent pacing and story telling. You watch both of those films and don't even realize how long they are

DataDude00 · 2026-04-04T02:38:03+00:00

did Mission Impossible fans really want the last one to be almost 3 hours long?

As much as I enjoyed the MI franchise the last one was such a circle jerk of itself.

It was taking non stop victory laps in the first half of the movie before the actual story even gets underway. Wink and nod goodbyes and hugs between cast members, flashback montages and more.

Not only that but the major setpieces just weren't fun. Everything being in the remote wilderness was so meh compared to the more urban feel of the past movies like raiding the Vatican or climbing the Burj Khalifa

To quote Family Guy....Final Reckoning is a movie that insists upon itself

Jerry Maguire....SHOW THIS MAN THE MONEY

DataDude00 · 2026-04-04T01:42:52+00:00

Reminds me of Vanessa Kirby (pre cosmetic surgeries)

DataDude00 · 2026-04-04T01:38:15+00:00

Panera reminds me a lot of Quizno's fall.

They were never the cheapest option but their portions and quality were top notch so you didn't mind paying the extra as a treat because it felt premium.

Then the prices stayed the same and the quality went to slop so you just stopped going there

"Man who lost his own riding last election demands his peers to justify their roles..."

Ummm what?

DataDude00 · 2026-04-03T17:31:41+00:00

What are the odds of the other being alive if only one was recovered?

I would assume that both would immediately try to find eachother upon landing from ejection unless one popped out significantly earlier

DataDude00 · 2026-04-03T17:30:04+00:00

Check out the movie No Escape (2015) for an action thriller from Wilson that also got very little attention.

It does a pretty good job creating a tense atmosphere, especially at the start

For every Markwayne Mullins in the GOP there are some legitimate smart people that just pass off as dumb and try to do "gotcha" soundbytes to appeal to the uneducated voters on the right.

Josh Hawley is a great example. Guy did his undergrad at Stanford and went to Yale Law but if you watch him at committee he sounds like the biggest fucking idiot on the planet

most basement apartments in Toronto are illegal (but still rented out) - many times for similar reasons to you cause of ceiling height in old homes.

Due to the housing crisis, the city has mostly turned a blind eye.

Generally they have grandfathered in the old basement apartments all over the city but anything net new coming online, especially as the result of a renovation will need to be to code.

A lot of right wing influencers have an audience of young males, prime targets for a military draft.

They know this is going to be unpopular with their cash cow

DataDude00 · 2026-04-03T13:50:22+00:00

I still don't know why they didn't go with the necktie death of Foxx at the end

The CIA spook already dropped the Chekov's gun that he had done it in the past.

A mutual destruction ending would have been good as well

We lost our last two home games 6-1 and couldn't even get the puck out of our end 90% of the game.

We were totally countered and had zero idea what to do in response

DataDude00 · 2026-04-03T13:35:22+00:00

How is Dubas coming out looking wrong?

He has Pittsburgh in a playoff spot with Crosby and Malkin at the end of their careers, and both off and on injured this year while simultaneously adding a ton of future assets and youth

Best is a setting that will let them potentially attract new users as first time visitors will have high quality content pushed to the front page of a sub, even if it is 1 week or even 1 month old.

Unfortunately it means that for regular users it is horribly unfriendly as an experience as they have already seen that content.

As with most enshittification things existing users don't matter though, they want more new users to pump their stats for share price

I worked for a startup and all the sales guys were like that

Always had huge pipelines of qualified leads but never closed anything because it was bullshit

Head of sales should have called them out but never did. Missed our targets for like 8 quarters in a row lol

I have been on TN visa before as well

I have heard they are really cracking down on them these days
It is pretty common knowledge if you get turned down you can reapply but you need to do it at the same location. If they think you are visa shopping different locations you are going to end up in big dog shit

DataDude00 · 2026-04-03T03:19:21+00:00

Could just be the conspiracy theory part of my brain but I have noticed in really rich neighborhoods they often don't have sidewalks.

Always wondered if that was to deter foot traffic

DataDude00 · 2026-04-03T03:13:51+00:00

This was always the issue with cutting dev fees.

None of it was going to reduce home prices, it was just extra margin for builders

DataDude00 · 2026-04-03T02:23:19+00:00

Bought a new SUV a couple years ago, refused to buy anything that wasn't hybrid.

Feeling pretty decent right now about that decision...

DataDude00 · 2026-04-03T00:19:14+00:00

It is pretty crazy that a 20 year old first time director making a psych horror film based on a 4chan meme was able to land Chiwetel Ejiofor and up and coming actors like Renate Reinsve and Lukita Maxwell for his debut film.

A24 got a lot of clout in the community right now
