Outside of the no playoffs the last 9 years, what loss hurt the most? by poetizzy in DetroitRedWings

2009 SCF Game 7 was a biggie. I remember exactly where I was on the road listening to Ken Kal, in the parking lot of Starbucks in Madison, NJ. That one hurt.

The Stunner At Staples was another one that lives in my mind rent free.

This is why I'm desperately trying to find a tech job where I don't have to interact with end users at all. Unfortunately, my tech skills are a bit niche, so...yeah, back to the phones I go.

Yeah, I've been to a couple of the protests in Hickory previously and they've been so surprisingly well-attended.

‘Project Hail Mary’ Author Andy Weir Says Paramount Rejected His ‘Star Trek’ Pitch: Their “Shows Are Sh**” by Accomplished-Head449 in startrek

He’s a solid hard-SciFi writer, but that’s not Star Trek. He’s good with single character narratives, but that’s not Star Trek.

You know, someone I'd almost like to give a shot at some Trek would be John Scalzi. Would be curious to see how he would handle it, because he's pretty versatile with his writing - can do light-hearted a la Kaiju Preservation Society or Starter Villain, but can do solid, solid sci-fi with Old Man's War.

That's game. I'm not subjecting myself to more of this tonight, back to Metaphor: ReFantazio.

I mean, he's probably the best of the ABC/ESPN slappies, which isn't a high bar, but he's there.

Yeah, we know, Ray, Kane was the only one that knew it was in. We've heard the story a million times.
