It's kind of fun to do the impossible.

& the game bot went live on Threads yesterday if that's of any interest to you!

We're so back now though.

My new dashboard crashed the bot immediately as the game started. It's so hard to test this thing without a game going on.

I did some log analysis when it happened and it seems I was making 10 API calls / second during that bug condition.

I normally make an API call every 3-5s (randomness in here) to the NHL API for play by play data with no issues at all.

Huh that's pretty interesting, but thanks for looking into it. Appreciate it!

MP is a big outlier on the Nico line so it MIGHT just be a sample size issue, but thanks - appreciate it! 🤝

Also CJ: Let's see who wants to fight about it over here now!

Oh she is 100% a stalker.

& while Orlov doesn't get back ON the bench he is escorted to the bench by a linesman, grabs a towel and proceeds to jump a defenseless Haula.

The Canes & their fans hate him for all the wrong reasons & it's really embarrassing.

Yeah it's supposed to fall back to the secondary color but I gotta take a look at the code to see why it didn't tonight.
