    Is infinity scary?

    Is that how scientists view black holes?


    Let me put it another way.  We are all familiar with the textbook diagram of an atom.  You have your protons and neutrons in the nucleus, surrounded by electrons spinning around it.  The electrons have no particular position - until and unless someone is there to observe them.  Until then, they only exist in a 'cloud' of probability of where they might be.  I'm grossly oversimplifying this for the sake of brevity, but that's the basic concept. 
    Another way of demonstrating this is through the double-slit experiment.  Put simply, subatomic particles fired at these slits will pass simultaneously through two tiny slits, which causes an interference pattern on a wall behind them.  This demonstrates these particles are actually passing through both slits at the same time, and thus are interfering with each other.  But if you put a tiny camera behind the slits to watch exactly what is happening, something remarkable happens.  The interference pattern disappears, and instead we see the particles going through one of the two slits at a time.  The very act of watching the experiment changes how the particles act!  Again, big time oversimplifications here but it shows just how counter-intuitive physics can get.

    Not as scary as this....they say space is constantly expanding.  That would mean that there would have to be some sort of end or boundary for it if it is expanding, right?  Well, what the hell is on the other side of that boundary?


    Nothing.  This may be an even more difficult concept for us to grasp than infinity.

    As long as we're talking about weirdness - I just read a book about what I heard is becoming a more accepted theory in science:  nothing really exists.  Everything is just energy, and until we actually observe something, it's not really there.


    It's the ultimate tree-falls-in-the-forest question.  Not just asking if a sound can be heard, but does the forest even exist if there is no one there to observe it.

    Additionally,  he'd also give them a realistic ball control option on those days when the weather isn't cooperating or if Allen is having an off day,  and that's something that they don't currently have.   

     

    good call, just looked it up.  4 career fumbles only 2 lost, over 915 carries and 160 receptions. 
    0 fumbles playing 4 years in green bay

    On history channel they have had a serious of shows on history of Food That Built America which airs on Sunday at 8 pm ET IIRC

     

    the first Sunday in March (5th) they are schedule to have an episode on the Chicken Wings

     

    This is now available online, and on streaming sites.  It's a very interesting documentary which (I believe correctly) credits John Young's Wings-and-Things as the ultimate genesis of fried chicken wings in Buffalo, and Frank & Theresa's Anchor Bar as the source of the now ubiquitous Buffalo Sauce.

    Buffalo Sabres and NHL 2022-2023

    Unfortunately this thread needs an update.  It would seem the obvious callup would be Vinny, but that doesn't mean Sabres social media isn't heating up with talk about Kulich.  BTW the NHL IR rules are a minimum 7 days for IR, so it's nothing like NFL, but it still puts him out til after the NHL trade deadline March 3rd

    No formal announcement yet, but the Sabres have placed Alex Tuch on injured reserve. More info to come in the morning. Tuch scored his 28th goal of the season Saturday night in Sunrise. He left in the third period of Buffalo's 3-1 win over Florida.

    IMO I think it’s crazy to bring in another OC after one season. You want to start all over with another OC with learning another system. For having a weak OL and underperforming WR’s, they stilled delivered. Hell you could argue they should of went undefeated in the regular season. I don’t think Dorsey is even up for debate. Frazier is a different story but if they do who are you replacing him with?


    Personally I'm more in the camp of getting rid of Frazier.  He was clueless how to stop the Bengals after being given a preview of exactly how they were going to attack our secondary, and neither could he find any way to get any consistency out of the DL after Von went down.  Combine that with his role in 13 seconds, and the fact he isn't even under contract for next season makes it a fairly easy decision in my opinion.  No I don't have his replacement's name on the tip of my tongue (nor do I feel it is my job to) but there are certainly fresher younger defensive minds out there in the league who would be hungry for the opportunity

    Let's see what happens.  I believe much will depend on Von and Tre's recovery; James #28 progress, and finding a dynamic player or 2 in the draft.  


    We need to make a decision on Frazier and Dorsey soon though.  If they are out, now is the time to start looking for replacements

    Stanley cup vs Lombardi trophy

    The Sabres have been a ton of fun to watch grow and develop over the last 2 seasons.  They are not knocking on the door of a championship but you can see them growing and gaining confidence with each other.  They won many of the 'big games' like the outdoor game vs. Toronto, Eichel's first return game, both RJ games, and most recently the Ryan Miller game.  If they can find a way to sneak into the playoffs, there is good reason to believe they could do some damage.  I don't think there's a team in the East that would want to play them in the first round.

    across the pond, they call that a "howler"......

     

    gotta learn the lingo, here's a few:

    field = pitch

    standings = table

    schedule = fixtures

    final score = results

    cleats = boots

    shut out = clean sheet

    prevent defense = park the bus

    1 personal foul = yellow card

    2 personal foul = red card

    fired = sacked


    pants = underwear 
    (this one got me in a bit of trouble when I was over there, don't ask)

    I think it's pretty cool that we hijacked a word that used to mean something negative and spun it into something positive.  A lot of people think of our amazing charitable responses to adversity when they hear Bills Mafia.  It's also a lot more interesting than the endless "Nation" and "Country" monikers like other fan bases have.
