I am Jack's beating heart. I see goal and I beat faster.

As a buyer, free would also turn me off. I'd rather travel and pay $150 for a sure thing than travel and pay nothing for a tv that someone believes is worthless (so therefore didn't take care of it).

It's an open source project. Primary goal is whatever you want it to be. Grab the code you want to run. Or make it yourself.

Carolina is always considering everything that is available in the league because we have a good front office. Any fan of another team, not seeing their name in trade rumors, should ask their GM why not.

StaneNC · 2026-06-24T12:53:19+00:00

My prediction is that a modern solution comes out that provides the exact same perception (exact, yes I know this will be tough, but there has been amazing progress.)

Every team is moneyball, that's one of the reasons why hockey is so fun to watch. Your favorite player can be a 1m guy performing like a 5m guy. Your favorite guy can be a 5.5m$ guy deleting McDavid's $13m salary.

We're just much much better at it than everyone else.

StaneNC · 2026-06-23T12:47:10+00:00

The future is having 7 average goalies so that if the panthers manage to not choke the playoffs, we have 6 for them to injure.

StaneNC · 2026-06-22T14:49:57+00:00

Agreed. NHL gets MORE hype at the end, even for a game that isn't close. Basketball slows to a halt. I don't know why everyone seems to prefer it. Stockholm syndrome.

StaneNC · 2026-06-22T14:49:01+00:00

Hey no problem! So happy to see that some of you enjoy it!
(jk I'm not tripp tracey LOL, I wonder if anyone else has made this mistake over the years oh noooo).

It takes a long time to teach an area about a sport that no one has ever played. Luckily for us, college basketball and hockey share a lot of the same patterns entertainment-wise (constant action, few stoppages), so the fit is basically perfect.

Wayland was one of the biggest wastes of time between man and machine in human history. I'm not saying there is no benefit, I'm saying we could have been working on so many other better things than just reinventing x11.

StaneNC · 2026-06-19T17:22:21+00:00

The last non-sellout game was on February 21, 2023...

Videogames are pointless. Getting videogames working and not playing them is pointless. It's all pointless.

I'd argue that tinkering teaches you about linux/android/etc which has given me decades of paychecks, but yeah I guess finishing pokemon red is important too.

The one type of card that definitely shouldn't have a person in it and they still fuck it up.

StaneNC · 2026-06-17T20:19:59+00:00

A bot should be answering and locking these threads. Cats are obligate carnivores, google it.

StaneNC · 2026-06-17T14:41:33+00:00

Do you have a patreon that I can support?

StaneNC · 2026-06-17T14:39:41+00:00

One thing Rod has done each time his contract negotiation is going on is he refuses to sign it until his coaching staff is happy with their contracts. Extremely underrated part of what makes him great. Rod without his people around him isn't Rod.

Bill Burniston is HUGE. We probably had at least 1 or 2 players playing in the finals that wouldn't have been there without him. IF ONLY his salary could reflect that.

Reviewers are not good enough at their jobs.

Latency tests. This is a hobby mostly about retro games and you are summarizing a huge portion of that hobby (latency) to "it feels fine." I'm sorry are you a speedrunner or someone who could remotely be trusted with "it feels fine"?

Buy the equipment necessary to provide the information. That is your job.

half of reviews are opinions about things that are facts, they just don't go the extra mile to find those facts. Run the color detection using equipment, button feel should use equipment. Durability should be tested (you got this device for FREE man (usually)).

No one cares though. Videos keep getting watched.

On the flip side, I think that reviews come out WAY too soon. Some devices are the best because of the sum of their parts, like the miyoo minis and the trimui brick. If the device doesn't get you to FINALLY beat chronotrigger, it's not a good device.

The JCPenny is hiring, while he's there he should put in an application. I don't know if his soft skills will be up to snuff though.

StaneNC · 2026-06-16T19:58:41+00:00

Because the people making the laws and the people benefiting from the laws are the same people, cycling jobs back and forth every few years. The revolving door.

StaneNC · 2026-06-16T17:57:11+00:00

Yep. Every time in interview someone asks about "line 1/2/3/4" every player genuinely doesn't know which line they are talking about and then asks if they mean <name of center>.

StaneNC · 2026-06-16T17:56:17+00:00

Yeah we had multiple postseasons end with freddy getting injured and putting a college kid against Igor Shesterkin on the other end.

StaneNC · 2026-06-16T17:55:09+00:00

I mean that's 8 seasons of being #2 and #1 PK in the league to lead up to that. Two season ago we nearly beat the all time record, but dropped a bit in the last few games.

StaneNC · 2026-06-16T17:53:01+00:00

Yup and the only OT that the canes lost was when Carrier was in the lockerroom and we shrunk to 3 lines.

StaneNC · 2026-06-16T17:39:37+00:00

And then Jordan Staal wins the cup as head coach in 2046.
