The sticky toffee pudding at Hell’s Kitchen is obscenely delicious

It’s a photograph of Photograph! Deaf Leopard, er I mean Def Leppard, at Oracle AI World. (Me. I’m the deaf leopard)

Oh hey Danielle, I’m glad you had the time to meaninglessly change the slogan on license plates, a change literally no one asked for. Now please fucking well get my kids back in the classroom, tyvm.

This is interesting - at Oracle AI World, and the head of infrastructure at OpenAI isn’t referring to compute capacity in GPUs or teraflops … but in megawatts. Presumably (unsurprisingly) a sign that power is the limiting/defining factor.

I couldn’t make the Toronto shows for Rush because of a planned UK trip (but did mange to use my Amex to snag Front of the Line seats for a friend). But LOL given the presale opened six minutes ago, doesn’t look like the Chicago show is likely either

ngl, I GOL (guffawed out loud) on this one

Wow, I did not realize that Oilers opinionist extraordinaire Dennis King was hired by the Canes as a scout

Geddy Lee at the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum. He donated over 200 baseballs signed by greats from those leagues. The thing about him (and all the members of Rush) isn’t just that they are/were preternaturally talented, but they’re just goddamn genuinely outstandingly decent human beings.

Lololol you can’t complain about that call after getting that embarrassing Frederic penalty late

What if Stu has undiagnosed narcolepsy?

Oh Stu. Stu Stu Stu. Why couldn’t you be fatter?

Daaaaaamn, I know he’s got some flaws to his game but 1.5m for a 20 goal scorer is outstanding work

Did they just say a milly and a half for Roslovic???

This is the drummer that will be touring with Geddy and Alex and trying to fill Neil Peart’s gigantic GOAT shoes, and she (indeed!) is BAD ASS youtu.be/Lowk0E2_dAM

A Connor McDavid extension and a Rush reunion tour announcement. The greatest player in the world and the greatest band in this (and every other) universe. Coincidence? I think not.

When Geddy Lee gives your post-season this intro, ain’t NO GODDAMN WAY you’re gonna lose www.sportsnet.ca/mlb/video/ge...

Even more inauspicious 💩🤪

An inauspicious first game event of the season for Botty McBotface

NHL GMs finally got over their obsession with size!!!!!!!

Wow! 🔥🔥🔥

Built a new xG model for PuckIQ for the upcoming season. It’s a fairly straightforward xgboost (appropriate!) model. Log loss is not quite among the best out there, but to quote Thomas Dinsmore, "differences in model accuracy are within the Margin of Nobody Cares."

By popular demand (i.e. maybe 6 people) Live Game Update Bot has been activated for this season! Now let’s see how badly it craps out on the next game 😬

Should I restart my Oilers game update bot for this season? I know people *really* enjoyed the TV timeout updates

He only lost the weight so we could call him Stu Skinnier

At one point I had so many credit cards, I got irritated and cancelled all but three. I have once again been proliferated…

A nice Badger mention on BNN today (25:30 or so) including a shoutout to the work of my data team 😉 www.youtube.com/watch?v=4e5v...

Temu-oon Temun? Temoon??

Sold all my soccer coaching paraphernalia (cones, pinnies, peg nets, speed poles, bench) to my co-coach, who has a younger child so he’ll be on the hook for a few more years. End of an era. Might feel weird in a few months, but right now … so much free time! Might even start watching TV again!

Likely they have some Cobra Chicken DNA mixed in. “If there is one thing the history of evolution has taught us it's that life will not be contained" “We’re racing toward the extinction of our species. We not only lack dominion over nature, we're subordinate to it" It’s Jurassic Pork!

Calgarites: I have 6 tickets (row 7 lower bowl just off the Flames bench) for the Oilers-flames prospect game today at the Sad Dull Dome at 4 PM. Due to a change of schedule, we can’t use them. Say the word and they’re yours.

JFC, the “other” site is a dumpster fire at the best of times, but right now it’s a combination of Chernobyl, Bhopal, Deepwater Horizon, and the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, blended together, on fire, and streaking 200kmh down the highway to hell

“Up Yours” Economics

Another incredible Labour Day weekend at the lake. Has never failed to be a scorcher. (My wife is making a tiny cameo in the lower left)

Man, just the weirdest encounter on the train home today. So weird (and bizarrely self-racist to the point I assume it was just for shock value) that I’m not sure I want to elaborate!

My buddy Raj just won the Children’s Hospital Lottery grand prize!

Alright, looks like tomorrow I will be signing on the dotted line for a 12.5kW home solar installation!

Fun facts (from my friend Brian Hall at GDM): Oil and gas infrastructure in W Canada (BC to MB) is MASSIVE. It comprises: Facilities – 230,034 Wells – 886,964 Pipelines – 485,170 KM of Pipelines – 695,542 Contrasted with KM of Public and Private Resource Roads – 240,479

Newest watch acquisition. Citizen Tsuki-Yomi Titanium moon phase. The metal band is actually gray, the ambient evening sun on the ceiling makes it look rose gold (which would also be wicked).

calgary.citynews.ca/2025/08/15/m... Damn, a former colleague of mine. Nice guy too. RIP Mike K.

Career planning update: - eldest child still in pre-med - middle child now looking to engineering (aiming for U of A, 3rd gen, yay!) - youngest planning a business degree as a precursor to law Doctor, engineer, lawyer: I might be hitting for the South Asian parent’s trifecta!

Daou

Gonna need to do a calorie detox when I get back from California

Bay area. Leaving a chaat restaurant. Some brown dude is outside in the parking lot mumbling about religion and conversion. Not sure what it’s about because Hinduism is not a proselytizing religion, but obviously we don’t stick around to find out. We have dubbed him a Jalebi’s Witness.

I’m goin back to Cali Cali Cali I’m goin back to Cali Excuse me I’m already here

While this would be hilarious if true, I haven’t been able to validate the data at all, so I would treat it as misinformation until a reliable source verifies

www.hartenergy.com/exclusives/b... Wowsers, $6B! When I was running acquisitions at IHS, I tried to buy the predecessor company, RSEG. A *much* smaller deal, but no luck… Good going Manuj & co!

Stupidly good (corporate) seats at the Stamps game

This is an excellent, nuanced thread and I could have retweeted / quoted-tweeted many parts of it so eventually I decided to just boost the start of it and encourage others to read through.

Propane weed torch. Effective? No. Efficient? Also no. Am I going to keep using it?
