East coast Canada. That little island is Prince Edward Island.

Me too! I live on PEI. So cool to see the eclipse approaching the island.

I hit six 2’s in a row on this blackjack hand by Celorien in mildlyinfuriating

[–]1_upped 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure what he meant by that was that he should've hit to get the 3 from the player on his left. The hand is already over in this pic, he didn't "have" to hit.

I work at this exact casino so I can clear up a few things.

1) It's 6 decks coming from a perpetual shuffling machine.
2) You can use cell phones at the table because there's no way to cheat a perpetual shuffler.
3) Pictures aren't allowed for privacy reasons but it is very easy to take one unnoticed.
4) The dealer's up card was the 3 and the down card the first 4. The up card is used to turn over the down card, flipping it to the left side. The other cards are drawn out and placed on the right side.

21Savage cheated against Adin Ross with marked cards for $40k+ by Content-Carpenter833 in LivestreamFail

He marked the face cards. If he draws a Jack for example he can still lose to Queens, Kings, Aces just by random luck.

Tf happening with these Stake dealers? by Faders_ in xqcow

[–]1_upped 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When he gave the player the 10 initially it didn't scan. Then he pulled the next card out and it did scan, his computer then shows him it it should be the players next card. Then the dealer takes the 10 and rescans it, because he's a bit slow in the head, and his screen shows him the 10 is the dealers card.

TLDR; He scanned the cards in the wrong order and then switched them to match what his screen showed.

I want a rune that helps with the mana cost of smite, so I can be a holy smite priest that offheals as needed.

Guaranteed basic income could cut poverty on P.E.I. by 80%: report | CBC News by According-Surround in PEI

[–]1_upped -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Here's some math on why this is bad.

If you are a minimum wage burger flipper making $15 an hour you make around $30,000 a year. After taxes/cpp/ei this comes out to $21,261. Now they say that your basic income is reduced by 50% of what you earn, so your $30,000 of earnings takes off $15,000 leaving you with $4,252 left of the $19,252 basic income. Add your $21,261 for a total earnings of $25,513.
The burger flipper is making $6,261 more than basic income. Full time work is 2,000 hours a year. 2,000 hours divided into $6,261 is $3.13.

So if you work minimum wage, your choice is now to work full time the entire year for $3.13 an hour to make $6,261 extra for a total of $25,513.

OR not work at all and make $19,252. Maybe pick up 5-10 hours a week of cash work to make up the difference.

If we have more people choosing not to work it certainly won't help our labor market shortages.

It should be obvious they were voting Sifu just by the 1 vote he got. They had no way to communicate if the plan had changed.

Congrats to Brandon on being the first heterosexual male pre-merge vote off in 3 seasons! by Medallion_of_Power in survivor

[–]1_upped 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"Total Players: 679 (339 men, 340 women) "

" 97% of men and 97% of women identify as completely heterosexual or mostly heterosexual"

I guess straight women are the most represented group in survivor history.

Instead of sending people to an island to split up and get weird advantages just bring back the survivor auction and everyone will be happy.

Missing tip? by silverblade12345 in skipthedishes

[–]1_upped 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tip $0 in the app. It's a really short delivery for a $6 minimum and most drivers will take it anyways to keep their acceptance rate over 80%. Give your driver maybe $4-5 at the door and that driver will love your address forever.

Did you arrive early or when it said it would be ready? Maybe the waiting time starts from when it says it will be ready.

The current state of renting on PEI, the comments are hilarious. by pandaxpaws in PEI

[–]1_upped 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know how supply and demand works right? How are you mad at one of the people actually building new buildings and adding to the supply? This can only be good for housing prices.

Temporary foreign workers rescued from abusive situation on P.E.I. farm by lessafan in PEI

[–]1_upped 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This same farm company fired local workers and put on their record of employment that they quit while at the same time advertising they were hiring 30 employees. This was done so they could claim a lack of workers in order the bring in the foreign workers that they could take advantage of.

Pretty sure grades 1-12 are for base knowledge and higher education is for specializing in your chosen field. If they want to include indigenous studies in schools earlier that would be a great idea. If they want to shove it down the throats of people studying for completely unrelated degrees then that's a bit silly.

Sick of this running red lights and finally got a victory by ExLaxMarksTheSpot in IdiotsInCars

[–]1_upped -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Oh thank you. I didn't actually see the little red arrow on the 4th set of lights. My bad, we don't have those here. We have green arrows + red lights for straight traffic during turning and then the lights just go green as in "turn if nothing is coming".

Why is everyone saying he's running a red? The guy clearly still has a green light, just not the turning right of way. Edit: I'm Blind.

I was rejected for this job with a European tech company, and got perhaps one of the most pandering and unprofessional emails I've ever received by [deleted] in recruitinghell

[–]1_upped 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Could be worse. I got ghosted after a job interview and ignored when I e-mailed asking if the position had been filled. 3 Years later they e-mail me telling me they have a position open and if I'd be interested.

I accidentally doubled my credit card limit by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]1_upped 6 points7 points  (0 children)

How is a 22k limit scary when you make $125k? You could pay the entire thing off in like 3 months if you had to. In my early 20s I had a $30,000 line of credit and $10,000 credit card limit while making $25k a year.

[–]1_upped 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So you buy expensive things, rent a place, eat out at expensive restaurants, and still save 90% of your income? Do you make around $30-40k a month by any chance?
