If the Town Clerk is responsible for purchasing snacks for the break room, there will be a significant tax increase if Kate wins....

Send her back to the private sector permanently.

 

[PK Cronin]

Has she been elected to anything since the fiasco?

 

[The Lighthouse]

Has she been elected to anything since the fiasco?

No, although one of her cronies set her up with a Nassau Community College gig.

Edit: general counsel at 150k.

She already has that nice gig as the Chic-Fil-A mascot.

Here is something the fat lady couldn't stop...

Beautiful.

 

[Rengi]

Beautiful.

Yes, it is indeed! Kind of a bit surreal still after all that long waiting for a felt "eon".

I've never been so happy to see concrete footings!

 

[periferal]

Here is something the fat lady couldn't stop...

I'm starting to believe.


*That said, anyone think the land looks small for the arena (read, "amount of bathrooms") we will need?

 

[Lame Lambert]

Looks like the live cam fell down

 

[Coffey]

Enjoy this friends!
We sure did while our arena was being built.

Is there anything more "Islanders" than this?

[Lame Lambert]

“fans in the last rows could potentially use virtual reality or augmented reality for an up-close view of the game”

Don't get the "smart" jerseys thing. Wouldn't they need to change names and numbers?

Yea this seemed a little obnoxious, and this is going to be worn by the players or just something decorative around the arena? I don't get it.

It's actually kind of wild.


You could control your own jersey, and reportedly, if you opt in, the numbers and names on the jerseys in the arena can change to the goal scorer or to celebrate a leading player.

Umm ok, why tho? These have to be at least double the price, never mind I found the reason.

They'll be insanely expensive (especially in hockey, where you have to change at least three sets of numbers) but your jersey will never be out of date (no getting stuck with a 91 - Tavares.)

The main issue leagues will have is locking out negative language, so these will probably only work with an approved list of players (until someone hacks them.)

 

[xECK29x]

(until someone hacks them.)

Which I promise you will be incredibly easy

 

[MJF]

I can't wait to see all the 69 jerseys with the accompanying nameplates.

 

[Big L]

Can you put a smart jersey on the washer, or are they dry clean only?

 

[Finnislander]

They are so smart they dont get dirty.
