Aleksander Barkov has been found guilty for endangering of traffic safety (in Finland). He drove 105 km/h in an area where the speed limit is 60 km/h back in the summer of 2017. He is punished with 25 unit fines (for total amount of 46 675€) (article in finnish)

Tickets in Finland are based on income.

DMac lived down the hall from me my sophomore year of college. Having met both men made this story that much more bananas for me. My wife actually turned to me while watching the E:60 and shouted "WHAT THE FUCK!?!?"

An emotional support duck named Daniel was allowed on a flight from Charlotte to Asheville, North Carolina. The bird was wearing a Captain America diaper and little red booties during the trip. Daniel spent most of his first commercial flight quacking quietly and looking out the window.

Owned Monaco's most expensive penthouse. A multi-millionaire who started out as a lowly masseuse. Whatever respect and laurels this guy earned during life, gone.

Couldn;t they have said he was having varicose veins removed? Poor guy...

This may interest only me. It involves Amazon and the company that acquired my former employer (thus putting me out of a job). A friend of mine who works closely with Amazon at a very senior level says that this kind of payback spite is absolutely in keeping with Amazon's management culture.

Could one job change be at the heart of Amazon's $600 million decision to yank XPO business?

I don't know if anybody read the above, but in an interesting follow-up, XPO has now announced that they fired the exec that they poached from Amazon.

A brokerage analyst report wrote:...It's industry source said that Amazon "asked XPO to 'reconsider' its decision to hire Wagers, effectively requesting that it fire the executive...

It's logical to assume that XPO hopes that Amazon will now reinstate its $600 million contract.

Seems like a lawsuit waiting to happen.

Wow. That is an excessive beating, but 21 different players scored, so it certainly looks like they emptied the bench. And, my hometown of Grand Junction is certainly not a hotbed of lacrosse, so the other team must be really, really bad. Probably should have just called the game at halftime.
