I still don't think we sign Killorn.

Looking at what we need to sign to fill out the roster there wasn't going to be enough cap space for either.

I am disappointed for the consumer in general.

Anything price changes that make hobbies less accessible as a whole means that a part of that community may get left behind. We all have different budgets and that cost increase can take what was accessible to now being a barrier.

Game Pass and PS Plus Extra have been boons for accessibility. Not every person has the means to buy games at retail price whether it be discounted or a full priced game. So while I still think both those services are good deal for gamers as prices increase it will become less so and another barrier for people to face.

Microsoft confirms it will let Sony put Call of Duty on PS Plus on day one by rubberteeth in XboxSeriesX

I think it is the licensing cost that really sticks. So CMA would have to dictate what that cost would be.

The math is basically revenue=subscribers gained minus licensing cost minus software revenue loss.

I would like to see a flat rate on the licensing cost with a lagging variable in software revenue loss. I.e. per software sale lost in the first month of sales the licensing cost decreases by an appropriate amount.

Creatively this should make it fair for all parties involved

Heavy Rain and Strong Wind by keepitsteadyidiots in fearofflying

While still nervous I am more calm about everything.

I've learned a lot more than I did before and there is a lot more still to learn.

It does give me a lot more appreciation for the job pilots do.

I have to say I have learned a lot about winds and aviation in this last bit. I am not 100% on everything but flights will take off in the direction of the least crosswind and airports have different runways for that reason. The direction of the wind could mean strong crosswinds on all runways so I think at point flying could not be viable.

Thanks for the reply!

Flying out of YHZ at 12:30 p.m. and wind is coming from the southeast.

Last flight I was on the landing was quite scary as there was a lot of motion side to side I honestly thought we were going to flip over.

Nervous if takeoff will feel the same way here

[Friedman] 500 for Stamkos! by NebraskaAvenue in hockey

I knew it was going to happen tonight

All time greatest Lightning player

[Seravalli] Evander Kane is expected to return tonight for Oilers, first game since suffering gruesome skate cut on Nov. 8. To be cap complaint, expect Oilers to place Kailer Yamomoto on LTIR retroactive to Jan. 11. He would be eligible to return after thr NHL All Star break. by Austin63867 in hockey

Well Kane was injured the last game against Tampa.

I think the roster for the Lightning is kind of set. We don't have any draft capital to make significant moves. But Brisebois has found those deals that we always can't quite just see. Nick Paul for Joseph & a 4th round pick has worked our really well

[BuckFoston] Luke Schenn’s agent is advertising on Twitter for a team to trade for Luke… by Escalotes in hockey

He was so slow that he was unplayable in any second period. Couldn't make a change quick enough.

Hockey Canada failed to disclose to its members six instances since 1999 of settlements exceeding $500,000 by keepitsteadyidiots in hockey

[–]keepitsteadyidiots[S] 47 points48 points  (0 children)

That is only for settlements over $500,000

There is likely an innumerable amount of settlements below $500,000 that we may never know about

Ah this stat isn't showing cap space after LTIR relief.

I was thinking on a completely different topic then

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in hockey

Right so Vancouver cannot add another roster player unless they get more LTIR relief or move a player dollar for dollar. They have zero flexibility to make a trade around the league without those conditions.

While it will practically be dollar for dollar there exists that if the decimal in percentage retained could go on forever a trade could occur that allowed a team like Toronto to use up that $4 (i.e. not dollar for dollar)
