I'm just going to throw this one out there. It's not an issue on most people's radar, but if the US wants to talk out of this mess with any semblance of technological advantage remaining, saving IPR is absolutely critical.

If I'd told you before the season that only three teams from the Atlantic would be above the playoff line a month in you probably wouldn't have believed me.
If I'd told you _which_ three teams you would have politely inquired about my medication and been right to do so.

"Tzefardea Tzedek" (Frog of Righteousness)
As soon as the Portland Frog became a meme, Jewish social media blew up with jokes about the 2nd Passover plague - tzefarde'a (frogs) - and the Rabbinical commentary around it. I knew I had to make a calligraphy piece encompassing all of it. (more in alt.)

By my count, the Flames have been outscored 13-2 in the third so far this year. I suspect letting in ~2 goals per game in the last period may, in fact, be a very serious problem.
