There are definitely experts in manufacturing processes and industries that are located predominantly outside of the United States.
If the US wants to develop those regions of their economy and industry they need to import the talent to train their domestic workers.

Yeah, fair, didn't check which goal that was. It should be on the PP.
2-1 isn't so bad considering 1.79 xG.

I'm not sure what Dakota Joshua is accomplishing on the ice.
He had 2 hits. 0 shot attempts. 0 takeaways. 0 giveaways. Played only 11:26.
Just kinda doesn't do much of anything notable.

If you remove the power plays, the xG was actually tied in the game at 1.79 apiece (via MoneyPuck).
BOS outscored TOR 3-1 at 5v5 though.

Red is typically when cosmic rays hit oxygen at higher altitude. Green is oxygen at lower altitude. Blue is Nitrogen higher up. Pink is nitrogen lower down.

I was happy to hear my kid could sit on the carpet in their assigned spot properly and didn't piss themselves too frequently.

Pre-K reading covers:
• Letter recognition and letter sounds
• Holding a book correctly
• Turning pages properly
• Vocabulary growth (not actual reading of words).
So again. Wow. Congrats.

• Counting to 10
• Basic shape recognition
• Sorting shapes by size/colour
• Pattern Recognition
Cool?
Your kid can identify a triangle and count to 10. Future Genius.

Don't get me wrong. They won a lot.
