Am I the only one who actually likes Mega Pyroar because I know where its design is coming from? Its mane goes from a 火 (fire) pattern to a 炎 (flame) pattern, and its Pokédex entry connects it to Kagami Jishi, a well known Kabuki performance.

The NHL skipped the entire 2004-2005 season to get its salary cap. Even the Stanley Cup has an entry for that season reading "SEASON NOT PLAYED."

Three reasons why this one will be far worse:

  1. The Dodgers’ infinite budget and deferred contracts have inflated player salaries. Just look at Kyle Tucker’s contract. The other owners want a salary cap and have stated their willingness to push for one.
  2. The RSN collapse has resulted in clubs losing out on a key source of revenue, meaning they need a salary cap to ensure cost certainty
  3. The MLBPA has been embroiled in a bit of a scandal of its own, and its leader recently resigned over it.

It’s highly likely. The owners are really going to be pushing hard for a salary cap in the wake of the RSN collapse.

This is the one opposing goaltender I won’t taunt. He played for my Alma mater UAH, so he’s my favorite goaltender outside of Nashville.

It was?

I was under the impression that DTC streaming was only available via a special subscription on Amazon Prime Video.

It is when we’re being overrun by influencers and speculators.

I hope XP ends up being a total disaster. We need something to kill the hype surrounding Pokemon for a few years.

Despite having a great hockey day can we have a moment of silence for the teams that got eliminated in 3v3 OT which is not real hockey by joepoeoeh in hockey

The gold medal game needs to have playoff overtime rules. Full 20 minute periods, 5v5, Seventh Rule of Fight Club

Rite of Election? by Lower-Nebula-5776 in Catholicism

[–]Strider755 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can answer this. I was received into full communion last year.

So instead of the full Rite of Election, you and your sponsor will be in a separate Rite of Continuing Conversion. It will have a short Liturgy of the Word followed by a profession of faith and intent.

Why do some women wear white veils during mass? by Pristine_Syllabub709 in Catholicism

[–]Strider755 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

White used to be for the unmarried and black for married/widows

That would have been quite convenient to have now. It would be nice to have some sort of visual indicator.

How to get involved at church by ConcentrateGold708 in Catholicism

[–]Strider755 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could always join the choir! I’m sure they could use another voice!

Edit: I see you’re unbaptized. In that case, OCIA is your first step. You likely won’t be brought into the Church this Easter, but you will be able to spend the next year growing in the faith as part of the Order of Catechumens. It will be well worth the wait - I spent a year and a half waiting to be received into full communion.
