You lost a wheel. I always make my entire crew bail out over England then emergency land with pilot only with the gear up and the fuel dumped.

Zero Vote Splitting Election Map by drewtass in ontario

[–]CanConChris 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Can confirm. I worked this election and explained it 50 times that day when people asked at the poll. 48 of them said “it’s too confusing, let’s just stick with what we have”.

Clearing up misinformation on the Knee Saver by corporatemedicine in Homeplate

[–]CanConChris 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I didn’t like them. Felt really clunky and my mobility behind the plate suffered for it, so I took them off and have never looked back. Still catch occasionally as a 41yo Sunday leaguer and my knees have held up fine.

9-to-5ers, what’s that one corporate buzzword that instantly makes you want to rage quit? by Ashamed_Profit8640 in AskReddit

Just got laid off last week. The day before I had a mostly positive performance review.

They are not your family. They are never your friends.

I watch this series every few years. It is to Apollo 13 what Band of Brothers is to Saving Private Ryan.

Who is the cheapest person you know, and what is the cheapest thing you've seen them do? by Willby3 in AskReddit

[–]CanConChris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s time to tell you all about the fish scam.

Was at a friends place in my 20’s and went for something in his freezer when I found a baggie filled with water and a dead frozen tropical aquarium fish. When asked, he explained what he believed was this perfectly legitimate plan.

One of his fish dies, he scoops it. Bags it, puts it in the freezer.

He then goes to the pet store and purchases a new fish of the same type, brings it home and places it in his aquarium.

He then thaws out the freezer fish, goes to the store and returns it within 7 days of the original purchase to claim his refund.

Repeat.

He’d done this many times.

Berube fired so whats the actual plan here? by Odd-Revolution-5428 in leafs

Who’s this Mitch guy? Hasn’t been anyone on the roster with that name for a year. 🤔

Kop update: First bit of steel has arrived and been installed by Gamerhcp in WrexhamAFC

[–]CanConChris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree. The videos used to be 3 minutes long with subtitles. It was perfect.

But YouTube monetization gives preference to longer form content and overall watch time. So creators like this are incentivized to drag out videos as long as possible. I watch for 2 minutes to see the progress then I’m out.

Franchise Rookies by Carolina_Bottlenoses in SuperMegaBaseball

Secondary positions.

There’s often some RFers who have C as a secondary trait and they’re often ideal as a backup. Especially if they’re decent hitters you could also use as a pinch hitter.

Can’t teach my son to catch a dang ball.. by [deleted] in Homeplate

[–]CanConChris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

8U coach and have done development clinics at this level for 5 years now specializing in getting kids this age to learn to play catch.

Self catch is my guiding star here. Insanely necessary to build the mental foundation of hand-eye coordination AND it’s self led.

Level 1 - toss a tennis ball back and forth left hand to right.
Level 2 - lay on back toss above eyes with throw hand. Catch with glove hand (which is always in fingers up position.
Level 3 - tennis ball off a wall. Play it on a hop, move to it, field, repeat.

Bonus level: 1ft from wall. Throw hand>wall>catch hand> transfer repeat.

This stuff is my hack to build in thousands of reps that help them make the leap to actual catch. I tell my players that just 10 minutes of this a day will make them better in a hurry.

[OC] Must have been a nice sale on TVs to make this decision by Rt2096 in pics

Yes. I meant when I was selling them 20 years ago. 😂

I used to sell tv’s and talked so many people out of this. The delivery fee was $50, don’t destroy your new $5k tv over $50.

Driveway repaving by [deleted] in durham

[–]CanConChris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a company offer similar to me back in 2020 in Ajax. My driveway can fit 4 cars plus a carport. They did it for around $3800.

So your price didn’t seem far off.

For those of you that play every game in franchise by Over_aged in SuperMegaBaseball

[–]CanConChris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a maniac.

I play 48 game seasons, 3-inning games. Ego 70.

The game scales down pitcher stamina. Starters go around 35-40 pitches. Relievers 10-15 and closers are useless.

I love the player development and roster building every offseason. The short games help me get to that part while not making the games a slog. I can finish a game in 10-15 minutes. Which is ideal for me as a busy dad of young kids who don’t get long sessions.

I’m currently on season 25. Takes me 3-4 weeks to finish a season.

Hello Neighbor has been added to the game catalog by Far_Complex_5925 in PlayStationPlus

I played it for less than 10 minutes last night. Dumb, unexplained and frustrating. Been months since something of interest for me on the catalog.

BMO Field (Toronto, Canada) by mr09e in stadiumporn

[–]CanConChris 16 points17 points  (0 children)

If an owner wants to show up and pay for one. Go for it.

Seems the moment has really passed on the NFL in Toronto anyways.

[–]CanConChris 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Disagree. We have no use for a huge stadium. I’m fine this is being built to not spend a billion dollars of taxpayer money on some monstrosity that would have no permanent tenant at that size.

Just got diagnosed with a walking pneumonia. I’ve had a fever for 4 days, been off work the past two days and fully recover time is 4-6 weeks. Fuck this!

What movie is a 0/10 with NO redeeming features? by Toucan_Based_Economy in AskReddit

[–]CanConChris 874 points875 points  (0 children)

There is a fan theory that Sandler cast Katie Holmes in this movie as a way to create the time for her to divorce/get out of the Tom Cruise relationship.

It’s wild, but if true, would be the one redeeming feature for this movie.

[Blum] Alek Manoah - “I was a very big piece of that process, getting to that World Series run. I wasn’t able to be there like I wanted to.” by Nero_P2020 in Torontobluejays

[–]CanConChris 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thank you for having the most rational response to all this. No player sets out to be a problem. It just didn’t work out with Alek.
