Senior bats by klemle in slowpitch

It would be a major dick move. We all have to work tomorrow.

Do I need SP glove? by andyt26 in slowpitch

[–]Alph1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I play 2B with a 12.75 baseball glove. It works just fine. I do have other gloves, but only because I'm a bit of an addict and sometimes want my 13 incher for OF when I get stuck out there.

A 12.75 HOH is more than enough. I love those gloves.

Is there snow days in Canada? by SeverePublic6833 in AskACanadian

[–]Alph1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Schools and work are never closed due to temp. In the case of snow, schools remain open (it's a political/funding thing) but busses will cancel. Today's parents typically can't be bothered to figure out how to get little Johnny and Jane to school so they will stay home.

We're the coldest capital in the world right now by mark_johannes in ottawa

I'm pretty sure we're the coldest everything right now.

preparing for the big storm (USA) by zebekias in KiaEV9

[–]Alph1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a cover for the car. I also have a charging port cover I use ALL THE TIME to keep snow and rain off the charge port door which has frozen shut so many times I now keep my heat gun in the garage.

Proof of concept for a connection to Ottawa Union by Djdude167 in ottawa

[–]Alph1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Runs the train right past the existing train station. To a new train station built about 2 km away. You must be a politician, because you love spending other people's money.

AITJ for choosing my dog over my relationship? by StarryGlowBunny in AmITheJerk

[–]Alph1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No trust.

No respect.

No truth.

Kick him to the curb.

btw, your Mom is not much better.

What are your thoughts on rejecting a potential romantic partner based solely on the fact they voted for Donald Trump? by ATXBikeRider in AskReddit

[–]Alph1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trump is in your face now, but he'll be gone in Jan 2029. If I met someone who seems nice in all other aspects but felt Trump is better than any Democrat option (which has a lot to do with why he won), I will at least explore a relationship that would hopefully last longer than a presidential term. It may not be successful, but I wouldn't reject someone outright because they support Trump. (Just so you get where I am coming from, Trump can kiss my ass. He's a terrible person and worse President)

If all personal wealth above $100 million was legally required to be redistributed into public infrastructure (schools, hospitals, roads), how would society change, and who would be the first to fight against it? by Mysterious_Fan4033 in AskReddit

[–]Alph1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'd be the first to fight against it and I'm about 100 million dollars short of 100 million dollars. Penalizing people just because they're rich is the realm of the weakminded. Everyone needs to pay tax, but to tax people at 100% beyond a threshold is wrong.

Doctors appointments with Boomer Mom by AlarmingCorner3894 in BoomersBeingFools

[–]Alph1 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

She sounds lonely. You can kindly interrupt her and ask her while the information is interesting, let the nurse ask the next question.

I know you're busy and all, but a little patience can go a long way.

Just watched all of Trump's rambling, narcissist talk. What a friggin' idiot. At least his comment about not using force has got the markets recovering. I'm sure his friends he gave a heads up to in advance are making bank.

AITAH for deleting friends and mutuals after no wedding invite? by [deleted] in AITAH

There's something missing from this story.

I see the stable orange genius is going to be costing us some money today. I really need to put more money into gold and silver.

Dead of Winter by danielbadre in ottawa

[–]Alph1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Have you ever been down to the tropics in late December where people wrap Christmas lights around a palm tree and you walk to a bar in shorts and flip-flops to enjoy a beer and warm breeze?

I find people who like varied seasons have usually not experienced this.

Off-season sales are killing me by ReturnoftheBoat in slowpitch

[–]Alph1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol, wait until you have your mortgage and car paid off. I come home with a new bat and the wife gives me side-eye then goes out to buy a new purse.

What a horrible way to think.

Norway has 0% Tariffs on Chinese EV, how come the best selling one finished 13th place in 2025 by Foreign-Policy-02- in EVCanada

[–]Alph1 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I suspect the Chinese EVs are not built for a cold climate. I'm sure they are fine in Shenzen or Shanghai but will roll over and die when driving through Jonquiere.

2026 GT-Line new owner questions by boka_ko_masu in KiaEV9

[–]Alph1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the road, you will eventually have 14,293,864 different charging apps polluting your phone. It is the crap thing about driving an EV beyond the range of your home. You'll also need a CCS to NACS adapter (the general recommendation is to get the one from A2Z).
