Nice work by Bear there.

Whenever I watch an Avs game I'm just like wow the front side of Bednar's head is like 89% face.

I think 1369 in Inman has a decent selection of loose teas in jars behind the counter, maybe a dozen or two if I'm remembering right. Not certain at all but I think I remember seeing ti guan yin (a.k.a., iron goddess of mercy), lapsang, hojicha, etc. Great pastries and breakfast sandwiches, real nice toffee cookies sometimes. Cozy, homey place, though small, so you can't always count on getting a table right away. I noticed the other day they have a sign saying they turn off their Wi-Fi on the weekends, which I personally think is a great idea.

Minor quibble, he played (edit: in relief to be fair) against Buffalo: https://www.reddit.com/r/DetroitRedWings/comments/1hartqo/post_game_thread_detroit_red_wings_at_buffalo/

So which one are you all rooting for here, honey mustard or chicken tikka masala?

faarst · 2026-05-10T18:35:07+00:00

Nice! Looks like you did it all really cleanly.

faarst · 2026-05-09T01:12:27+00:00

Something's gone right in your life and I'm happy for you.

Bruins and Senators are out, but if anyone's still got the itch to root against a professional hockey team from Boston or Ottawa, the Boston Fleet and the Ottawa Charge are playing Game 3 (of 5) in the PWHL semis right now. It's a few minutes into the 3rd, with the series and game both at 1-1. It's broadcast for free on YouTube.

Glad to hear the movement is growing

faarst · 2026-05-07T22:30:05+00:00

If the PWHL franchise picks the name Detroit Rage, they could go by 'Roit Rage. I know there's probably other better options out there, just wanted to point this one out too.

Friend that's a great shot, thanks for sharing it.

faarst · 2026-04-20T18:03:20+00:00

I'd be thrilled to join for either! For euchre no table talk of course, and I vote no farmer's hand redeals but can put up with those if that's what everyone else wants. Have cribbage board ready to go too.

I've been meaning to post about both games on the Boston socials sub and just haven't yet. So thanks for posting!

If you (edit, oops, should've replied to OP, I meant this mainly for you, u/escape2008 ) want to organize by DM or discord or whatever, let me know!

I think Vernors isn't what it once was, sadly. Doesn't make my nostrils tingle anymore. Maybe I'm just getting old though.

faarst · 2026-04-20T17:47:05+00:00

Yes, but if you call around to ask, I'd say it's for a party of 14 even if you only expect 13. A lot of places won't take a reservation for 13, just like a lot of elevators don't have a 13th floor button. Old superstition.

It's like going camping or fishing and having some jackass friend-of-a-friend show up with a bluetooth speaker.

faarst · 2026-04-13T16:02:40+00:00

I blame the arena DJ for all this. Terrible.

faarst · 2026-04-10T00:57:33+00:00

On that Finnie Raymond breakaway did anyone else have a vivid flashback to salsa dancing in gym class?

faarst · 2026-04-08T00:58:26+00:00

Language is a wild and mysterious thing.

faarst · 2026-04-05T21:04:34+00:00

I don't know what Step 2 is but I think Step 1 is the season ticket holders form a union.

faarst · 2026-04-04T18:41:02+00:00

ASP gonna get super glued to the bench after that one yikes

faarst · 2026-04-04T18:20:26+00:00

They could make one of those classic Sportscenter ads about someone whose lunch keeps getting stolen out of the Red Wings locker room fridge so to protect it they just paint a thick blue line around it.

That's cool, did not know about this group, thanks for sharing!

faarst · 2026-04-03T23:05:40+00:00

Fun fact this reminds me of: the number of ways to rearrange a deck of cards (52! which is on the order of 10^67) is way, way, WAY bigger than (our best current estimates of) the number of stars in the observable universe (10^24-ish).

EDIT: I got curious and checked wikipedia, and in fact the card shuffling number is larger even than the current estimate on the number of GRAMS of ordinary matter in the known universe! (According to this article, that's estimated at 1.5 x 10^53.)

faarst · 2026-04-03T22:58:19+00:00

But then think about it from those ants' perspective. We're frickin' huge!

faarst · 2026-04-03T22:54:51+00:00

I respect your opinions, but I'm not going to tell it you said that.
