Track assembly is finicky. I cut my finger paring the extra stuff off these too.

What debate? This isn't an actor. It is an algorithm designed to put actors out of work, to break unions, and to play into the fetishistic desire of a handful of powerful silicon valley men to control high status women who literally cannot say no

Obviously limited TOI but much better in a small sample size
Evolving Hockey card for Adam Engstrom. His percentile is not listed due to low TOI but he grades out as a sliver above replacement.

VeritasKnight @veritasknight.bsky.social · 02/09/2026
He's actually getting slowly better defensively but we're at a stage where we need a guy to be at replacement level *at least* to play. But you put him on a bottom 24 team in the league and he's a player
Evolving hockey chart for Arber Xhekaj, showing him at 3rd percentile (bad) overall and for offense, and 33rd percentile (better) for defence. His even strength offense is particularly bad

I really don't want to take away from the overall point but there have been larger forcible migrations and movement of human populations since the Holocaust. The forced displacement of Germans from Eastern Europe after the war was 14 million people for example.
A post from Sean T. Collins @seantcollins.com

I just want to point out that this question could also be directed at the news media, which saw the Republican Party call for what would be, if their plans went through, the largest forcible movement of human beings since the Holocaust and debated its merits as a plan to bring down housing costs.

Which patch should be next?

the corner of the sabaton backpatch was lifting, so I stitched it in extra tight. When I put this guy on I used a long stitch in the hem, this time I looped around the hem a bunch to try to tighten it in and stop the rest from unravelling. stab count: 0
a denim vest with patches on it. there are a Judas Priest and Sonata Arctica wordmark logos visible at the top of the frame, off the centre is a Demons & Wizards wordmark. A Sabaton wordmark logo, much larger than the others, is half visible. it has been recently repaired.
