www.stltoday.com Who are some potential options for the Blues to take at No. 10 in the NHL draft next week?
It will be Doug Armstrong’s first time selecting in the top 10 of the draft, and in one of the deepest drafts in recent memory.
I was lucky enough to see him start at Citi Field for his last win. Was starting to worry I may have seen his last professional win and I'm glad I was wrong. Hopefully he can make 200 but if not 199 is pretty fun too.
Not sure how I feel about the music direction but the footage is fabulous.
Yeah Christ, the complaint here is overstimulation and the capitalization/commercialization of peoples' attention spans, a topic which spans far greater breadth than just "colors". What a weird specific aspect to zero in on. I don't disagree that colors attribute to the issue but man, OP needs to take a step back and huff into a paper bag.
Coffee's been around for hundreds of years. You think there's really going to be an about face on it after all this time?
Damn, Herrera's batting stance is wild. Must've made a big adjustment from last season. Glad to see him doing well though. Have felt like he'd be nice to have following up Contreras as he slowly moves into the DH over the years, but I guess we'll see if he sticks around.
Hmm, so basically exactly the people you'd expect to be traded. I guess it's a silver lining for this season going so terribly that moving pieces that are actually working for us won't hurt too terribly and we can try to get as much in return as possible without worrying so much of how we'll survive the postseason.
I don't think anyone has a problem with bottle episodes. It's the bottle episodes specifically starring Vic Fontaine which stretches the premise thin to incredulity that I think people--or at least I--have an issue with. Do another Ferengi or Klingon thing if need be. But attaching such sentiment to a character that the show really really wants you to like doesn't work for me. Again, he's a love him or hate him character. At least Ezri's episodes, while shoehorned, made sense for why they needed to be there if they had to have her as a replacement at all. Vic was just an insert the writers specficially wanted for no good reason.
Most people here are ignoring the main reason: the writers were just a bunch of baseball loving rat pack fans who took their love of those things maybe a little too far. In the case of baseball, we only had Take Me Out to Holosuite to deal with (which is a great episode--provided you like baseball, I suppose). In the case of the rat pack, we inexplicably got Vic Fontaine who you either love or hate. I wouldn't hate Vic Fontaine so much myself if they didn't force him to basically take up the space that Quark's Bar was supposed to be, and for him to be an integral part of the show so late in the series. And yes, the musical numbers take up too much time, if you ask me.
Absolutely the biggest issue for Lemmy (and any other federated threadlike site). This whole reddit "implosion" business (though it really is doing just fine still) has done wonders for user growth, but it's gonna take at least another few hundred thousand+ people on here before there's enough random distribution to make smaller niche hobby communities viable.
It's definitely not old reddit. But absolutely hate the new reddit crowd. So much low effort bullshit that's making this place feel like /r/funny.
I do agree not enough of the niche stuff I'm into has built up though. Personally enjoy local/regional and hobby stuff. So far, regional communities are big enough to have much discussion or content, and the hobby stuff I'm into hasn't really moved over much other than the various tech stuff which is something, at least.
The issue is it takes a lot of users to hit a point where enough niche communities can exist. Until then it's just gonna be this lame tryhard shit with people trying to force lemmy memes about beans or some dude who can't poop.
When the Blues make their selection at No. 10 on Wednesday night in Nashville, general manager Doug Armstrong and his scouting staff will be looking to land a caliber of player previously unreachable by St. Louis in the last 15 years.
It will be the team’s highest pick since 2008. It will be Armstrong’s first time selecting in the top 10 of the draft, and in one of the deepest drafts in recent memory. The Blues have been successful while picking late in the first round, and have built much of their extended period of winning on hitting on players drafted in the 20s.
But this one is different.
The Blues are not hoping for their first-round pick to turn into a regular NHL player. They are hoping for their first-round pick to turn into a star.
Who might that be?
They Blues would be fortunate if Matvei Michkov (because of his Russian contract and lack of contact with teams) or Zach Benson (size concerns) fell to them at No. 10. In a deep draft for forwards, the Blues could have the to
It's made on the same engine as Skyrim and Fallout 4 so for all intents and purposes this is going to be like any other Bethesda game. So, if people want Fallout 4 in space with procedural worlds and companions then I guess it'll be what they're looking for. But my belief is it's going to feel like a last gen game with a sheen of current gen on top.
Cardinals lefty Jordan Montgomery ached to stop losing streak, so he went looking for change
Usually one to be back in the training room or away from the dugout when the game ends, Jordan Montgomery was there for the late innings Friday night, poised near the railing as he was earlier on the mound.
Although, entering the second month of his quest for a win, his decision to be that close to the field for game’s end had nothing to do with his changing his view or changing up his luck.
“I was just out there in case we cleared,” Montgomery said.
That’s “cleared” as in cleared the dugout.
“Cleared” as in cleared to take the field to confront the Reds.
In the seventh inning, one inning after Montgomery’s scoreless start ended, Cincinnati starter Ben Lively tagged catcher Willson Contreras with a pitch, right near his pinky. Contreras took issue with the obviousness of the pitch, and it took manager Oliver Marmol two visits to Contreras at first ba
Any way for an individual to block instances?
Curious, since I know I can block communities of instances. Is instance-wide blocking only available to admins of instances?

Hey all, figured I'd submit a logo for the community and try to beef this place up to look all pretty.
I'd just like to know why STL and the central IL region is so deep in saying "soda". Granted, any time I've headed up to Chicago I don't think I've heard "pop" so I'm not sure how ubiquitous it is in most of IL even including Chicago. But having not grown up there I can't say myself.
Anyways, it's definitely soda in most of IL. Don't think I've ever heard it called pop there, other than by my grandma who was from the southside of Chicago.
