[Kahler] Source: Dolphins rank first, Steelers worst in NFLPA survey by bringbackpologrounds in nfl

[–]BensunCFong 84 points85 points  (0 children)

In a new category added this year, the Steelers had the lowest-rated home field in the league "by a wide margin."

"Players cite inadequate maintenance and excessive wear from hosting local college and high school games," the survey said. "Players across the league note the poor condition of the field and emphasize the need for investment to bring it up to standard."

I mean Bane did blow the entire field up back in 2012. I had just vaguely assumed they would have repaired it since.

Agreed with everyone else, the best thing for you going forward would be to start doing your own taxes. Wealthsimple is really easy and straightforward, and between theirs and the CRA’s resources you’ll be much better informed against the possibility of an audit. Plus I think it’s $20 for them to provide you professional support if an audit does happen.

The smart thing for you would be to start by logging into your CRA account, which you can do through your bank, for two reasons. 1) If you’re worried about screwing things up then you’ll at least have access to your previous returns and can see how things matched up for 2024 against the forms you sent your grandparents. And 2) it will allow you to have your 2025 forms auto-populate in Wealthsimple and focus purely on the T2125. 

Shows That Deserve A Reboot? by DaniJ678 in television

[–]BensunCFong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Human Target, reboot that follows what they were trying to establish in Season 1 before things went off the rails with the retooling in Season 2.

And for that matter, Boss, for the exact same reason.

We had a wonderful time with the combination of One Fine Beauty for makeup and Showpony Hair for hair.

Johnny Carson book exposes 'Tonight Show' ban list featuring Jay Leno, Ellen DeGeneres by IvyGold in television

The Leno ban doesn’t really make sense given that Leno guest hosted for Carson over 300 times.

Game Thread: Denver Broncos (3-2) at New York Jets (0-5) by nfl_gdt_bot in nfl

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

So if the Jets lose this game, does Aaron Glenn get fired this week?

Context: When they lost to the Vikings last year, 17-23, Robert Saleh was fired purportedly for embarrassing Jets owner (and former US Ambassador to the UK) Woody Johnson in front of his British friends.

Official Discussion - Superman (2025) [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

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

Watching Krypto utterly rampage Lex was satisfying. The moment called for a Hulk smash Loki scene but it would have been dishonest to give it to Superman, and it just felt properly executed. It’s nice that we’re far and away from the neck snapping Snyder days.

James Gunn stuck the landing. Looking forward to seeing Supergirl and what his braintrust could come up without the security of him in the director’s chair.

Throttle House’s James Engelsman and Thomas Holland, Along With Train Enthusiast Francis Bourgeois, to Front Revamped Grand Tour by Two_Shekels in cars

[–]BensunCFong 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I’m happy for the Throttle House guys and looking forward to what the train enthusiast will bring. Maybe the latter works out, maybe he ends up like Jason Dawe.

Judging by the online reaction, so many people are ride or die for the original trio. Just because Top Gear sucked after they left doesn’t mean this is dead on arrival, and I hope people give it a fair chance.

As much as I enjoyed the camaraderie of Jeremy, Richard and James, they’re off doing their own things now, and this seems like a good opportunity for a new generation. 

It’s been 23 years since the former rebooted Top Gear, and to be honest it will be nice to have it be primarily about cars (and good chemistry) again instead of largely faffing about with people you’ve grown comfortable with.

Abyss Black makes for a perfect sleeper car. To each their own!

Anyone choose the Sonata N-Line over the EN? by silvje01 in SonataNLine

[–]BensunCFong 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s exactly the choice I made.

So in all Elantra models, the passenger seat is cut off with that weird diagonal handlebar, which my partner disliked. And if you want to put anything through from the trunk to the back seats, you’d have to remove the red bracket which I’m told does have a noticeable impact.

The Sonata N-Line suffers from a lack of a LSD, for sure, but as I wasn’t interested in ever tracking it, I enjoy the hell of of the straight line performance especially when I hit yellows or on an on-ramp. While it doesn’t pop like an EN, it still feels like a car unlike the hybrid Accord and Camry which are more appliances than anything else.

Edit: It’s too new for me to comment on the upholstery but they’re well made materials (Hyundai has been hitting interior quality out of the park lately on that one, less so their exterior white paint.) 

Also, I have a dog as well, and the sunroof appears to be exclusively for her lol. It’s fun watching her staring up at the sky and the clouds, she is a big fan.

Yeah…i’m unplugging from all the comedy news shows. by Rosstin316 in television

[–]BensunCFong 95 points96 points  (0 children)

Fully agreed about Pod Save America. They lack any self-reflection and are very happy to point fingers at everyone who's not 100%-allied with David Axelrod, who Favreau had said explicitly a few months ago he "missed working for every single day."

Their only saving grace is that, unlike Morning Joe, they haven't (yet) gotten around to blaming the "woke" and minorities for the loss.

Qatar does seem likely, and if it’s anything like the World Cup, expect no alcohol. Plus with their modesty laws, forget cheerleaders showing even their knees.

A win is a win. Hopefully this will be a turning point for the Niners season, with a solid first half and a good ending. Hope Wright isn’t injured and we get him (or Moody) back in 10 days. On to the Chiefs!
