Old, and tired of your shit. Get off my lawn. Proud Canadian. We’ll never be the 51st state.

I'm torn on NHL player participation. Personally, I feel the Olympics should be about amateur sport. But man, are the games ever entertaining when NHL players are involved.

They definitely are, but participation was negotiated in good faith. The owners can make it an issue during the next round of negotiations if they want to (they did get it removed for 2018 and 2022). Same goes for NBA players in the Summer Games.

Unlikely. The 4 Nations put the players at similar risk, and the NHL organized it.

Same for the upcoming World Cup.

Either way, it’s between the players and the owners. The players want to do it. I doubt the owners are going to risk a strike over it.

It’s not up to individual owners. When the league and the union negotiated the latest CBA, playing in the Olympics was one of the items negotiated.

Imagine having the opportunity to go to the Olympics in Milan, and/or to the Super Bowl, (for free!) and instead staying in your gaudy house in fucking Florida.

Have never once (before now) heard that referred to as a β€œroad rollerβ€œ. It’s a steamroller.

I wonder how many other presidents have such articles

It's a photo of a tweet from an X account called 'French Response'.  It says "Investigating child sexual abuse material isn't controversial.  Turning it into political theater is manipulation.  Maybe that logic flies on some island.  Doesn't fly in France."

It is directed at Elon Musk, who called the French investigation of Grox a "political attack".

Over 20 years in IT, and every data center I've ever worked in or had equipment in had some kind of back up power solution (typically a diesel generator) in case of a power outage. But OK..
