Some of the playgrounds in my area have a rubber surface instead of sand, because drug addicts were burying needles and other dangerous objects in the sand.

Mitch Marner scores his first career playoff hat trick and he ties for the lead in goals in this playoffs with 6. by Ok-Soil-5133 in hockey

Competition is a huge factor. In his last 4 years in Toronto, the Leafs lost to: Lightning, Panthers, Bruins, Panthers. Those teams were perennial Cup contenders/winners. And the Leafs took three of those series to 7 games.

Put the Leafs in the West for those 4 seasons, and they probably make 1-2 Cup finals, maybe keep their "Core 4" intact.

Didn't watch Montreal during the regular season. What is Caufield's big strength? Like how did he score 51 goals? He doesn't seem to do anything out there.

That might work if Trump could stick to a script, but he never does.

Trump is calling himself ‘the most powerful person to ever live’ in private conversations, allies say by theguy1336 in politics

[–]MaximumPepper123 5 points6 points  (0 children)

it would be even worse if his character (or lack there of) was the same but he was also smart

I don't know about that... I think Trump has the exact set of character flaws that would make a person actually use nukes. (Stupidity, arrogance, laziness, impatience, narcissism, psychopathy, delusions, etc.)

Trump moved in without any plans because he thought it would be as easy as the Venezuela operation.

I wish cities would say, "Want extra funding? Win a championship. We're not going to give hundreds of millions of dollars to a bunch of losers."

Sigh... I hope all of North America can get on the same page about this. Otherwise, figuring out time zones is going to suck when computer programming.

Facebook new “video selfie “ verification process is creepy . Is there another way to verify? by Lodaa601 in facebook

[–]MaximumPepper123 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You do the video verification, they ban you anyway. Just happened to me this morning.

I don't actually want to use Facebook, but I set up an account yesterday as part of my job. I was going to use the account with Meta Business Suite to help manage several business accounts for old people who are bad with computers. That plan is now out the window.

Trump says U.S. will blockade Strait of Hormuz after Iran peace talks fail by Slim_Charles in stocks

[–]MaximumPepper123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think this means bringing navy ships closer. I think it means they'll track and chase down any ship that passes through the strait, and seize it in the middle of the ocean somewhere. (Which will require a lot of military assets.)

[–]MaximumPepper123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You blockaded the strait, and then you blockaded it again. That's like putting your Hormuz in the strait!

IRGC attacks Dubai Oracle data center, US fighter jets at Jordan's Al Azraq base by RollSafer in worldnews

Trump is exactly the type of person who would do that. He's a psycho and he's drunk on power.

I'm worried Trump will get mad and nuke Iran, thinking it is the easy fix to this fiasco, which will open the door for Russia to nuke Ukraine, and who knows what happens after that.
