@JagexSupport day 3 of asking for a manual review of my ban so that it can be reversed and I can play again without fear of losing my account due to unreliable detection methods. No evidence, no comment, no info on appeal but it was denied anyway!

@breadmanburner @ImmortalLou30 No chance lmfao. Fear of retaliation

That said, these apply to Biden until 1/20/25 at the least. Fire away.

I try not to doompost, but this is an all-time historically devastating decision for the future of the American experiment. One that, should the worst-case scenarios materialize, will likely be cited as the catalyst of the end of the US.

Welp, that's all folks. The President is immune from prosecution so long as he says he committed crimes as part of his "official" duties.

So ends the part of the American experience where our leaders were bound by the rule of law. Thanks for playing.

@WeissHockeyTalk I think we just got our answer

[Nate @Hellakovsky]

Hooooly

Tampa trades Mikhail Sergachev to Utah 😳

Here's a minorly fun, if relatively elementary, fact: If something has a 1/N probability of success and you try up to N independent times, the probability you ever succeed is not 100% but rather, in the limit of large N, is 1 - 1/e, just above 63.2%.

The song is getting way more hate than it deserves, but I still think the Call Me Maybe version of the video is the best thing that came out of that year

@goalie_school Would love to hear your take on Vasilevskiy's woes since returning from surgery. Tampa defence has been abysmal, sure, but a 40 game sample size and sub-.900sv% can't be acceptable for $9.5M. What does he need to improve/change to return to form?

Welp, @ThunderBugTBL woke up and chose violence today.

[Nate @Hellakovsky]

@BoltsJolts Aside from the individual mistakes, why do they keep trying to make this new defensive system work? I don't know fuck all about the adv/disadv of zone vs man on man, but you can see clear as day they are overthinking assignments and getting lost.

Fahrenheit 451 was never my favorite Bradbury/dystopian fiction because it felt a little too blunt, too far-fetched in its metaphor— the state deploying high-tech 'firemen' to burn books to maintain its censorship regime? A bit on the nose.

Currently reevaluating that assessment

[Nate @Hellakovsky]

@JFreshHockey Love this, it helps to put Sergachev’s giveaways into perspective. As a bolts fan it feels like he is constantly making puck carrying mistakes, but this shows it’s more of a quantity issue, not quality. Surprisingly good news. And Perbix is sneaky good (:

[Nate @Hellakovsky]

@BoltsGuy04 In the end, what could they do? Even if you lessen the load, he would still have played regularly. The only real healing is probably going to come from the break they are getting now. Vasy can care for his body and get back to 100%

[Nate @Hellakovsky]

@Erik_Erlendsson I think rest, plus a retool on D with 77, 98, 81, 48, 43 is an easy recipe for success next year. Wouldn’t mind dropping 28, 24 and working from there. If Killorn goes (☹️), we’ve got some $ to make things work. Question is, who do we get to back up 88 next year?

[Nate @Hellakovsky]

@joeratasky @goalie_school iirc, he started using them around Dec 2021, and his play has seemingly declined overall since then ('22 and '23 playoffs especially). This is actually my running conspiracy theory among friends when they ask why he's regressed😂
