We lost last night b/c HF Boards was down, you can't convince me otherwise.

They couldn't find the train to the game

Columbia, IL

Ahh I am in O'fallon MO. Was right on the edge of the most powerful part of the storm supposedly. My power flashed and went out for about 5 minutes then came back. How long has yours been out?

 

[Xerloris]

So had some crazy ass storms tonight. Hope everyone is ok. Not very pleased to have the snow blindness back.

About 3 hours now

 

[Memento]

Good news? None of the storms hit me or my family.

Bad news? I’m back in the hospital for a UTI, and I had a vasovagal reaction that caused me to pass out and fall out of the hospital bed (with wounds on my hands to prove it).

 

[AjaxManifesto]

Time warp to nowhere on this site.

Serves us right.

After that loss the the Pens we are cooked.

I grew up in O'fallon... went to Zumwalt back when there was only 1 Zumwalt. I Think it's called Zumwalt North now. I'm shocked how much that area has grown every time I visit my brother

Power just came back on.

I forgot how to spell HF.

I can distill this topic down for you.

We have evidence that:
1. High cholesterol (LDL-C) is associated with increased atherosclerosis, which is the process by which plaque builds up within the arteries.
2. Saturated fat increases LDL-C in a large percentage of people.
3. We find lots of saturated fat in dairy products and red meat.

The three statements above are well-established. Often times, public health officials and doctors will take premises (such as the 3 above) and deduce that one should limit their consumption of certain foods (e.g. bacon) to avoid cardiovascular disease. However, we do not have direct evidence that eating a particular food (i.e. dairy or red meat) causes increased plaque in people's arteries.

I will reply in a direct message.

Still running generators here

Still running generators here

I had to reset a couple of clocks, it was truly excruciating

I thought it would be fun to work in hockey ops for an nhl team. Like a bucket list check off.

I’ve got some connections with agents due to having done work for them before, and my uncle was a ref: I’ve tried (really minimal effort, like a passing mention) a few times with those type of connections and no good outcome. I feel I’d have to build some tool to show off if I really wanted to try.

Today I’m going to find out if I’m taking a long project in Kansas City. Would have to move over there for a little bit.

There’s an echl team there, the mavericks. I could beg them for some software engineering or technical “internship”. I could totally build something fun for a lesser team like this then leverage that to sneak up the ladder to an nhl club maybe?

This seems like an okay idea yeah?

 

[Vladys Gumption]

I seem to have somehow lost my dark mode but can’t seem to find the way back. Anybody else having the same issue?

There’s still buttons missing for me and dark mode is gone. I’ve assumed the site is still partially borked after the calamity over the weekend.

That’s kind of what I figured too.

I like dogs………tew.

Are the ignore lists irrevocably lost? I’m seeing posters I haven’t missed, and mulling giving it all a fresh try.

When I see particular posters, I just scroll past. It’s much easier than the karmic load of an ignore list.

My ignore list appears intact. I am not seeing anyone I would have had on there. I think I might have lost my sponsorship though.

I moved out here in 1994 and live near Zumwalt West. It's astonishing how much this area has grown in the 30 years we've been here. Progress is good, but I'm not gonna lie, I do miss the fields and farmhouses along Hwy K as compared to all the strip malls today.

Probably depends on when you put them on ignore.

My sponsorship is gone as well. That damn ads are back.
