Just bringing up the Hagler vs Leonard match again….read today Leonard was warned about holding numerous times during the fight, but the referee never took points away.

What a screw job.

Nobody refers to living things as "animate objects".

Never mind the redundancy of "My column: Take 5 with Chris Gasper:…"

Someone has a fascination with colons. https://t.co/BtZiCbiaoA

Well, we did kinda suspect…

I don’t know anything about them, but I’m okay with either Slack or Matrix. Just let me know where we’re going to go before everyone else leaves.

This is a nice surprise.

We use it a lot at work, especially now that we’re all working from home. I’d imagine it’s possible to have two completely separate accounts though, right?…[Read more]

The new FMIA was posted around midnight last night and included a comment from PK that was so tone-deaf, I was almost motivated enough to post about it last evening. Fortunately, the column hasn’t been edited yet this morning.

As you would expect, King opens the column addressing the protests, riots and racial issues in the c…

If we go back to the tag board, I may resurface under my old identity as “Merlin Nippert.”  But I am not going back to a dial-up modem.

I’m good with either. Just looked at matrix and glazed over a bit, which probably doesn’t bode well for the more univac equipped side of the board.

Slack is pretty easy and would be a good solution.

In the same boat as Lebron and Blinded.

This isn’t the first dog-whistly or racially insensitive comment that King has made in his comment, but he’s seemingly teflon with this stuff. Like driving in the bike lane or not wearing life vests in boat, he’ll just claim…[Read more]

I mean what in the hell is he thinking.  KKK?  Jesus Christ he’s stupid on so many levels.

I’ve never used either but I’m willing and likely capable.  I know the usage is way down here but it’s a great group.  Quality is still high.

Slack works for me, I’ve never used matrix.org.
