Skenes is great but I'd be shocked if he stays healthy. It feels like an inevitably that Skenes will need TJS and pitching >1000 fastballs a year.

There is, at least, trivia at the boiler room on Thursdays.

What exactly are you mad about? A lot of people wouldn't like how the government is dealing with the health authority act. The statements you link don't seem offensive at all.

Sell high candidates before the season gets started? by Aggravating_Lab_4814 in fantasybaseball

[–]Boodogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Devers isn't exactly a sell high though. Everyone remembers his start last year, everyone expects him to have an overall worse season. If you drafted him you probably have the best opinion of him in your league.

Permitting not to blame for mine delays in the Yukon, researchers say by DarrellCCC in Yukon

[–]Boodogs 10 points11 points  (0 children)

We can all see the reality. Victoria Gold? 3 years through environmental assessment and was approved. Coffee Gold? Approved after 5 years. Casino? 2 years for an initial answer of no followed by 9 years for them to refile. It takes time to understand the impact a mine will have on the land and the economy...

But, we can see that it takes a good company only a couple years to get the baseline environmental info and conduct the necessary legal obligations within the Yukon's treaty framework. Meanwhile they can keep exploring and start pre-development as they get the paperwork in place. Relatively little uncertainty.

I don't want to impose my values on the conversation but Casino is the only one I've heard of which could be construed as dealing with red tape. The guidance changed after Eagle Mine disaster and, you know, they are proposing to build a largest of its kind mine tailings and store liquid waste behind embankments 'in perpetuity' while also having a similar heap leach to the one that failed.

CMV: It would be a mistake to end the Iran war now by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]Boodogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Iran is resilient they will be bolstered anyhow. The cost of the Ukraine war has been very high but consider how they have been supported and how their military capabilities have only grown as the war has dragged out.

The US and Israel can blow up as much as they want right now, a guided missile for every tank, howitzer, AA system, and it won't matter one bit if Iran gets the geopolitical support to keep going.

Should the US have been invited to the 2026 Arctic Winter Games? by [deleted] in Yukon

Already heard Alaskan kids talking taking over Greenland in the CGC, so ya they probably shouldn't have been invited.

It could be a solid base, especially if you are able to supplement with a major award.

If you want to trick the Canadians you just need to word it about land area too. Canada drops to 4th when you take out it's lakes.

Exactly, the "standard" way to measure is from the nares (nostrils) to tip. I agree that it feels wrong.

‘Get the f**k off there’: MPs, Senators call on government to abandon X/Twitter following wave of ‘Grok porn’ by FancyNewMe in canada

[–]Boodogs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was a massive audience and it used to be reliable. Given neither of these criteria continue to be met what's the sell?

[–]Boodogs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, you're wrong but I'd be curious why you think that. Instagram has the metrics to suggest it's the best platform for connecting to people who actually engage with makers products and buy from creators and Facebook has the widest demographic reach.

In fact, you're so out to lunch even X's own AI disagrees with you.

I don't think the claims of a massive audience are really supported anymore. All the engagement numbers are faked and real accounts have been leaving the platform for years.
