So Cathy, since we explained what bagged milk was the other night. Can you explain to us what bagged gasoline is?
Home insurance claims.
And then it gets really fun with the Jones Act so we can't ship gas over water. Trucks, by emergency authorization, only. United States of CFA.
Wait..... what?
LOL, which part? Jones Act (the reason my Alaskan cruise had to stop in Victoria BC for 5 hours) states shipping between two US ports needs to be US-built, -owned, -operated ships. We don't got a lot of those.
There are federal(?) regulations about shipping fuel (I'm assuming > a specific quantity or over state lines because obviously gas trucks exist) via truck. Those can be paused by federal emergency but then there's also the whole "pipeline capacity >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> truck capacity".
The bags? Yes, people in the southeast are filling anything they can find with gasoline because they be dumb, and didn't learn their lesson with toilet paper.
Hey folks, in case I’m not around again this evening: thanks to Homer for the game threads and Bingo, thanks to cbinc for the hockey pool, and thanks to everyone for contributing to the threads and the show. I’ve started an off-season thread; please drop by once in a while. If you want to have a general thread about the playoffs and comment on any game (or organize a watch party), I will be around when I can.

Technically, 99 is four twenties nineteen, but I see your point. I could never wrap my head around sixty seventeen, so I adopted a Belgian French form of numbers that is more like English (where there is are distinctive seven- and nine-related word for 70 and 90).
Poor French. We get so much entertainment out of making fun of the way some of the words and phrases translate.
Have I just missed it or has there been zero announcement about when the playoffs start?
Seems like every series is just kinda starting whenever they feel like it. There is one series starting this weekend, but not all division matchups have even been decided yet.

At the start of the broadcast, they said that the Leafs/Habs would start next Wednesday, but I haven't seen anything official.
