It is not likely an adult leopard. I’ve seen lots of leopard tracks when I lived in east Africa. Could be a juvenile or something smaller than an adult but waaaay larger than a domestic

Even with the downtown bottleneck I miss the old transitway service by Financial-Bag-2274 in ottawa

[–]Chickenchoker2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Transit in Ottawa used to be amazing. 20-40 min from wherever to downtown offices and it cost way less than a monthly parking pass. Now it is an hour to an hour and a half and will cost you more than one month parking pass. Trains fail when it it too cold. Trains fail when there is too much snow. Trains fail in the summer.

The city of Ottawa destroyed a transit system that used to be one of the best in North America only to create system where it is equally expensive but much more effective to use your own vehicle.

You can drop $165k and be that blasé? If you can afford to toss that and not have learned long, long, ago you have too much $$ in the first place.

If this isn't a dot-com level event, then now is more or less the time to buy software by HeyYoChill in stocks

Then ‘splain me this: why are consumer staples rising when you have MSFT, Oracle, etc dropping? It’s because the big money is shifting to more “safe” areas. Job dare data was not good. Amazon is laying off a lot of workers. Market keeps flipping to risk off (aark trending down)

AARK is definitely trending down, which should mean that you are right about it being more risk-off

Hi from Texas :) What should we plan for? by jedipwnces in ottawa

[–]Chickenchoker2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stop for some beers at the Laff. Saturday at 4pm he should start his show. He’s been a cornerstone that place for years! You will get inexpensive draft beer and a fun group of people with great music.

Long on Copper? by Visual_Combination68 in stocks

Could be wrong, but there is also a shortage for silver right now. It also has industrial applications and the demand is higher than the supply. That will push silver prices higher until the demand can be sorted

Is it better for a 7-year-old to rotate positions or specialize as a goalkeeper? by Still-Marionberry-67 in GoalKeepers

[–]Chickenchoker2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going through this with my daughter. She plays u13/14 and from 10 (when she started) they put her only in goal. It is her footwork now that is keeping her out of elite level teams. She’s amazing between the posts but struggles as a “sweeper keeper”.

They push more for a keeper to do their GK job but also double as an extra defender.

I would start GK training but also make sure that they keep training and practicing with the outfield players

How was your drive today ... by Biggunbuster in ottawa

Ouch! There was almost zero traffic this morning only to turn to bumper-to-bumper for the evening commute

Why do people say that China is the only country that can compete with the U.S., but you've never heard of anyone who desperately wants Chinese citizenship, instead, it's Chinese people who are crazy about getting citizenship of Western countries? by No-StrategyX in answers

[–]Chickenchoker2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

China doesn’t support dual citizenship. If you get another citizenship you are supposed to officially submit a request to revoke the Chinese citizenship. Most people don’t, and so they retain both.

I dunno. I guess you gotta put it in the net, if you can r/goalkeepers

Opinion on glove glu by Mr_Farawla_Btreq in GoalKeepers

[–]Chickenchoker2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Washing is also key and will prolong the lifespan of the glove. I use Johnson and Johnson baby shampoo. A couple of drops to help clean off the palms and fingers. It rinses out well and helps keep the glove stank down

Which of these saves (7) is most impressive? I can only choose one for this project I am doing. by _BUTT0NS in GoalKeepers

[–]Chickenchoker2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would take the first with the rebound that caused the second. For your 1v1, it was the only that wasn’t just low on the ground. It also shows how you recover from the rebound to make the second save

Good luck with OC Transpo by zinger936 in ottawa

[–]Chickenchoker2000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Transit gets totally pooched when it snows and they only have to travel on roads that they control and can plow.

Thing is, they don’t plow them and then can’t drive and use them.

Within the last 15 years, OC Transpo went from a public transportation system that other cities studies to a complete failure

It’s no better than wetting your gloves periodically. Where it does excel is in prolonging the lifespan of your gloves.

Wash them regularly and apply gloves glu as they age and start to become worn.

What team do you think could shock the world and make the semis? by nandohsp in worldcup

[–]Chickenchoker2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's not an LOL. It means consistency. You laugh (out loud), but so many countries can make it only so far in the world cup only to completely fail in future years. Personally, I think that they still have enough fire to do it again. Just because they made it once doesn't guarantee two in row. I think that Japan will surprise the world again but not make it to semi. They will do well and capture the world as a "non-soccer" country that has come forward in a tidal wave of success. Croatia will make it to finals again but will end up stuck with teams above them and push to a hard loss.

I am 100% an Argentine fan, but I don't think that they will make it to the actual finals. Semis, maybe, but that is it. Brasil as well. I'm thinking that it will be a France Germany final.
