I meant their internal investigation. Think they'll send me the results?

I hope their internal investigations are nothing like law enforcement where the find they did nothing wrong at a near 100% rate.

Imagine how good Keller/Achmaltz line could be with a better center.

Imagine Bedard or Fantilli being that center!

Yes and I'm stuck imagining it being Pinto and that it should be a right handed shot. Thought about Kupari as sleeper ( his fo% is up to 50.3 now). Dreamt about Scheifele, but woke up. And still believe it could be Reinhart, with a Gostisbehere trade

Imagine Bedard or Fantilli being that center!

Bedard could produced on our 4th line and I would think about Fantilli with Guenther and Cooley and let them mature together.

That's our Government.

 

[Schemp]

That's our Government.

I remember in my youth, we would call it a coverup, now they call it an investigation!

Happy 2023 from the east coast!

That was funny.

The Wall Street Journal has made their tech predictions for 2023, and they say this time we REALLY mean it...this will be the year the Metaverse takes off. Maybe I'm just old, but I don't see the point. I'm not anti-VR, as I can foresee numerous uses of the tech, but the Zuckerberg vision of people spending large portions of their life in the Metaverse just doesn't sound very appealing.

The next morning…….

 

[Bondurant]

Southwest was the champion of failure last week but I was delayed 5 hours by American and we were never provided with a clear explanation which was annoying.

Take note Glendale, this is how billionaires roll.

Is the article about the metaverse or facebooks attempt at their own version of a metaverse? I ask because the metaverse is no more a Facebook creation than the internet was an AOL creation. Zuckerberg marketing team hard at work trying to convince people the metaverse is exclusively a Facebook thing as if it'seven a remotely new thing. Hell Second Life has been around for like 20 years!

My Southwest flight yesterday, Orlando-Austin-Phoenix (no plane change)....was 10 minutes early, and when I attempted to use my drink coupon to pay for my beer the FA said "naw, I gotcha". And my checked bag was one of the first ones out. Could scarcely have gone better.

They have a lot of ass kissing to do that’s for sure!

Like their CEO said, the system works 99% of the time. He said it as if that was a high number, but for IT systems a 1% failure rate is abysmal. It means 3.5 days per year, SW will meltdown and leave you stranded.

You're right, it's not just about FB's metaverse. The WSJ writer believes virtual and augmented reality will finally takeoff due to new headset offerings from multiple companies, including Apple and a lower costing model from Meta. I tried my sons Oculus, felt a headache coming on after a few minutes. No thanks.

Imagine if 99% of flights didn't crash. There would be planes falling out of the sky everywhere.

Assume it's a strategy built around operating with lesser costs the rest of the year and hoping it doesn't get noticeably out of control at the holidays/blizzards. 99% of the time it's a valid business model that doesn't run into issues due to operating this way, but they face the consequences of looking like they are a disaster when they knowingly get into a situation like this.

Then the CEO shouldn't apologize. He should admit that it's their business model and tell their customers and workers to just deal with it.

No wonder JJ wants to retire.

Sometimes it's better to let people think you're stupid than open your mouth and remove all doubt.

 

[MIGs Dog]

Pretty sure Ted Lasso designed a similar play.
