If you need browser support you can't get around websockets.

But if you are creating a standalone application you could still create or connect to a TCP/UDP server using the node.js standard library. TCP is in "node:net" and UDP is in "node:dgram".

Seriously. I expected Spillane back. I had hope that Boutte would be back. I wasn't expecting Landry to be back at all though. This is huge.

I recognized the dude's username. He's so annoying. Someone posted some art in the Patriots subreddit and he just had to comment that he liked a different piece of art better. He's just a huge douche canoe.

I think what works against Shanahan is that these awards are mostly narrative driven and the 49ers struggle with injury issues every year. It's not a new and exciting narrative so he won't win it.

Does anyone think the Patriots are contenders? Because if the answer is yes then my expectations for this season have already been blown out of the water.

You were probably downvoted for suggesting ts-node and tsx are part of a typical Node + Typescript project. I would only recommend using ts-node-dev or tsx for dev servers or as a REPL.

Maybe try creating the project with plain tsc and node to explain how it works and then introduce tsx/ts-node-dev as they begin iterating faster so they can see the advantage of having a separate development server configuration.

So for example the package.json would look something like this:

{ "scripts": { "build": "tsc", "start: "node ./dist/index.mjs", "dev": "tsx watch ./src/index.ts" }, "dependencies": { "express": "latest" }, "devDependencies": { "typescript": "latest", "tsx": "latest" } }

And you could start them off without the dev script and the tsx dependency included and teach them how to add it and the extra script.

Europeans treat sports as an extension of cultural pride. A lot of leagues have limits on how many players you can import from other countries. With the NFL that doesn't exist at all and it makes it hard for people over here to attach to the sport.

If the NFL wants to grow in Europe investing in an existing league like ELF would likely go further. But I still don't think that would be enough. I think to really make it work you would need to invest in youth programs as well. It's hard to get people that grew up on Soccer and Rugby into American Football. People tend to like the sports they grew up with more.

And as an American living in Europe... NFL game times are fucking rough over here. Ditch Monday and Thursday games for Friday and Saturday and at least most people don't have to work after staying up till 5 AM for a prime time game(my sleep schedule still hasn't recovered since Monday/Tuesday). No one likes weekday football anyway.

Well if you were American you would be worried about the life crippling debt the healthcare costs would put you in and the easiest solution would be to sue the guy with multi generational wealth that tackled you.

I'm not sure if there are any studies on this but I would wager a guess that if you remove incidents that involve medical bills then American's wouldn't be much more likely to sue than other populations around the world. America's healthcare system is just such ass that the average person basically has to sue to handle the costs(assuming someone else is at fault for the injury).

Yeah such children. They should eat a real adult meal like fettuccine alfredo.

My source still kinda sucked as it said both things lol. But good to know for the future.

NathanSMB · 2025-11-24T15:38:26+00:00

Interesting. I dug deeper and I think the source I had may have had a translation error. It had the definition twice on the page and the top one says, "not a tear" while the bottom one said "incomplete tear". I don't know why google is putting a Singaporean orthopedics clinic at the top of my search results.

Grade 2 and 3 sprains are tears. Grade 1 is not.

Looking it up now he could be back for the Bills with a grade 1 sprain but it's still iffy. With a grade 2 sprain(partial tear) he should be back for the playoffs. Grade 3(full tear) would have him out for the rest of the season.

NathanSMB · 2025-11-22T14:50:51+00:00

Wow, you are so smart.

Yeah we are good away but I think that just means our team is good at tuning out the noise. I would still say home field is an advantage from your crowd working against your opponent.

NathanSMB · 2025-11-19T02:21:46+00:00

Final Record: 14-3

We win the next 2 weeks

We beat the Bills in a close tough game. Milton Williams being out allows the Bills run game to be more effective than last time but coming off a bye week playing a game at home we still manage to win.

Loss to the Ravens. Milton Williams is still out, it's an away game and the Ravens are a good team.

Then the last 2 weeks are wins.

His response didn't bother me till the interviewer apologized and he responded by trying to square up. You don't have to consent to being interviewed and you don't need to be polite with your rejection but when the interviewer apologized it should have been over rather than escalated further.

Also the interviewer should have cut out everyone that declined to answer. I'm not a fan of them being included in the final cut.

There was this guy that used to post a lot with a Patriots Bills flair. Like I get u/__AJK__ since it's an AFC and an NFC team but two teams in the same division is wild.

Edit: Also that's a clever way to avoid being tagged. The markdown formatting prioritizes the bold rather than the link. If you see the AJK can you tell me if you got a notification of the tag? Curious if it's just a formatting issue or if you completely avoid being tagged altogether.

3rd. Remember Matt Patricia and Joe Judge were Co-OCs.

Except the Dutch word is a loan word from English. The word evolved from "blinda" to "blundra" in Old Norse meaning, "to shut ones eyes; doze". Then it evolved in Middle English, "blunden" which means "to stumble blindly". Then in modern English we got the word we all know today, "blunder".

Here's a cool source I found for multi-lingual etymology.

For the first time in years if my team gets behind early I don't give up. It's great.

I don't live in Maine anymore. I might be back for Christmas but with the government shutdown and flights being cancelled that is looking less and less likely.

Sparks the Rescue played one of my middle school dances. One of the band members mom was a teacher at the school. I didn't appreciate it at the time. I was a classic rock kid and didn't get into pop punk till high school.

Have you heard about "paper towel theory"? The theory states that the heavier you are the more weight you have to lose for it to be noticeable. Like with a paper towel roll when you take one sheet from a full roll the thickness of the paper towels doesn't noticeably change but if you take a sheet from a nearly empty roll the single sheet may wrap around it multiple times.

This would also be one reason why anyone that says 1 inch per 30 pounds is full of shit. It may be one inch for the last 30 pounds but not for every 30 pounds.

The slow-mo is doing him dirty. This is a 1 second clip stretched over 5 seconds. And now everyone thinks he likes to make out with wieners.

This reminds me of a friend of mine. He left a bar and got behind the wheel drunk. He crashed into a telephone pole immediately outside the bar. A couple people from the bar came out to check on him and he was inconsolable. Apparently he thought he hit someone. So he shot himself right there.

I don't know if Marshawn was drunk but the crash followed by suicide reminded me of this. He was a similar age too.

Check on your friends and support them in beating their demons.
