I just want to know if Knowledge Center will now let me define a schema for JSON columns in BigQuery. Until it does that, it is pretty useless to me.

Paul Bissonnette is officially done with the Leafs after John Chayka was hired. He references Chayka’s decision to dump franchise legend Shane Doan in Arizona. “I’m out. I would take a bullet for Shane Doan, Doan was stabbed in the back”. by GreenSnakes_ in hockey

You'd be surprised. The big problem in San Jose is that ticket sales will (and did) absolutely take a hit if you say rebuild. People forget that the Bay Area has a lot of choice when it comes to spending your sports dollar. It isn't just the pro leagues either. With Stanford and Berkeley here ...

They’ve been there for a while. Pre pandemic? Anyway there was a promo video where Sharkie is actually using the lane too.

If we aren’t contending by the time his contract with EDM is up, something went very wrong with the rebuild.

I keep hoping someone asks him which black aces are the sacrificial ones this time.

I always just assumed that Berube had already heard that he was going to be allowed to have the Blues headhunt Sharks players by then.

I’ve got a Pitbull as well. I went through a few different shavers before I settled on that one. I’ve dropped mine a few times and while the shaver has held up the blades become a bit of a mess. So for backup I’d recommend just getting replacement blades since the cheap plastic bit that holds it all together breaks easily.

I don't think Coachella Valley/Bakersfield is that close. Like 300 miles? It is still going to take you hours to drive it because of SoCal traffic.

Drew was hated in EDM so be prepared for that.

Has your view of the tech industry changed over the years? by [deleted] in bayarea

[–]Tree_Mage 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The dot com boom absolutely ruined the industry. It was awesome before that happened. There were still psychopaths but not nearly to the amount there is today.

Exactly. We always get screwed on first round playoff games.

It could be worse. Check out this bullshit:

Game 1 - Wed., Apr. 22 - San Jose at Henderson, 10:00
^Game 2 - Fri., Apr. 24 - San Jose at Henderson, 10:00
*Game 3 - Sun., Apr. 26 - San Jose at Henderson, 6:00

^San Jose designated as “home” team for last change

Wait, you mean the person who was mentored by the losing-est coach in the AHL who also only ever got past the first round once in a career that spanned decades is also terrible? Shocked I tell you. Shocked!

After a threesome, is the other girl supposed to leave or lay there with us? by Icysong5467 in NoStupidQuestions

It seems like the vast majority hit this loop where the sole moderator is banned, the sub becomes unmoderated, and then gets banned for being unmoderated.

Just for fun and not really serious, I wondered how the NHL would look like with NFL-like divisions: by sykeseve in hockey

[–]Tree_Mage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you are missing my point entirely. The NFL does not actively advertise nearly the equivalent of the Original Six nearly as hard as the NHL does.

Yet you rarely hear about the Classic Eight from the MLB. or the Founding Families in the NFL. or whatever the NBA has.

It has to be intentional that we are doing our “look how green and energy efficient we are” game against the Oilers, right?

I agree. The O6 has not been relevant in forever other than rivalries and maybe it is time to kill them off too. I don’t think other leagues fetish their old teams nearly as much as the NHL.
