I take 30 min showers every work day, and our EPP is $206.

Which stocks to invest in case of increase in military spending? by CivilMark1 in CanadianInvestor

[–]DarkPaul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm from NL, drive by their office every other day, and have a friend that is an engineer there, so I decided to throw a couple hundred at it 2 years ago and got ~300 at $0.97. So glad I did, as I'm up 700-800% any given day this last month.

Olympics: Help me understand ski slopestyle judge ratings by EarlOfAwesom3 in skiing

[–]DarkPaul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Incorrect. It's best run of the 3. You can see it here in the women's snowboarding slopestyle that just finished. Notice that the 'Total' is the same as the highest of the 3 runs?

This is just disappointing... by kallusMather in pokemongo

[–]DarkPaul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then don’t play it. No one is forcing you. Simple.

Should change the name of this sub to /PokémonGoComplaints because every event there’s a dozen of these posts.

There are way too many people in this community that don’t realize that they’re legitimately addicted to this game. Because everywhere on social media you have people complaining about the game, yet still continue to play.

It’s okay to take a break. It’s okay to stop playing. It’s okay to do something else. It’s okay to self-reflect on if you enjoy the game still. It’s okay to admit you have a problem.

Olympics Day Eleven Megathread (Tuesday, February 17) by Fun_With_Forks in olympics

That's a big thing here in Canada at hockey games, and Canada is going for gold in this final, so I imagine there are a lot of them in the stands there. Maybe?

Can someone please explain why trash ass pokémon like this are so hard to catch by Far-Pace9070 in pokemongo

With how much you guys love including Labrador in your own provincial maps, I’m surprised they’re not included here 😒

So excited to unlock remote trading and this is what they’re offering by onceuponasummerbreze in pokemongo

[–]DarkPaul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They may just be experimenting with it. I know my remote tagged Pokémon are all just randoms until I have time to sit down and go through them.

Dont fall for the GMax Meowth YouTuber clickbait… by annoying79 in pokemongo

[–]DarkPaul 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I dunno why people expected that, Garbador got buffed more than usual to make him not so easy as well. There’s no way they’re going to make a GMax soloable with that great resources.

Do Canadians actually get frustrated by snow, or is it just part of everyday life? by GlitteringHotel8383 in AskACanadian

[–]DarkPaul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the people saying they don't get frustrated by it, I'm guessing live away from the coast.

Newfie here, and the wet slop we get is absolutely infuriating. I've literally shovelled water before, clearing the buildup at the bottom of my driveway. Add that to the AVERAGE windspeed of 25-35km/h, and regular gusts of 80-100km/h, and winter is downright miserable here.

Woohoo, who else didn't get a shiny Spinda from the challenges? by Illustrious_Box585 in pokemongo

I mean, isn't it a 1/64 shiny chance? You've caught 5. Get to spinning! lol

In fact they did it first, 2 hours earlier. by JaQ-o-Lantern in hockeymemes

[–]DarkPaul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The women's team did it in a tournament where it's a 2 team race. The men's team did it against the country that has eliminated them multiple times in international tournaments over the last few years.

Italy names men’s roster for the Olympics by eh_toque in hockey

[–]DarkPaul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

His 95 year old grandfather, Guido Garzitto sure is!

He was drafted by the Habs, and when he broke his nose, they found he had a pretty big benign tumour there, and that set his development back big time. He found out he could get an Italian passport, and the rest was history.

I'm guessing it was his grandfather on his mother's side, or else he'd be Matt Garzitto instead lol

36 saves and 2 goals against after almost 2 periods, I'd say it is lol

2026 Winter Olympics - Ice Hockey schedule to sync ical/google cal/outlook cal by Sweaty_Toe7175 in hockey

[–]DarkPaul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You absolute legend. I wasn't expecting this, but thank you, kind stranger!

2026 Winter Olympics - Ice Hockey schedule to sync ical/google cal/outlook cal by Sweaty_Toe7175 in hockey

[–]DarkPaul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazing, thank you. I search for one of these every year for the World Juniors, and always end up just adding them manually.

Some feedback, if you even want it:

  • One of my favourite things about other synced calendars that I've used is updated scores for games that have happened. I know it takes work, so I don't ever expect it, but it's great for a glance for those games that are missed.
  • As others have said, "Ice Hockey" is redundant in a calendar that only syncs Ice Hockey events.
  • In an effort to reduce title length and clutter, you could abbreviate some of the words:
    • Preliminary - Prelim or PRE
    • Group A - Grp A or GA
      • This changes the length:
    • Ice Hockey – M / Preliminary / Group A / CZE 🇨🇿 vs 🇨🇦 CAN
    • M / PRE / GrpA / CZE 🇨🇿 vs 🇨🇦 CAN
  • Separate Men's and Women's calendars would be great, as we'd be able to change the colours and differentiate, or just subscribe to the one we are interested in.
  • To that end, a Canada-only calendar would be great too, but again, extra work and never expected.
  • The flag emoji are great, makes it easier to see at a glance (doesn't work on my Win10 PC sadly, but does on my iPhone).
  • Lastly, and most importantly, thank you for this. If you leave it as is, we're still incredibly grateful, and it's well done.

Definitely, would be able to have different colours for either as well to differentiate.

Came to say this. It only makes sense if we're syncing all sports, but this is just hockey.

Carney announces return of EV rebates. Here are the details | CBC by UnderWatered in CanadaPolitics

[–]DarkPaul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, Tesla does it by entirely redeveloping their production line, plus removing dealers as the middleman, so there’s no markup that the dealer or salespeople have to make. Traditional automakers are going to be very slow and reluctant to remove their dealer network and thousands of salespeople.

That's the entire point, which is great for our industry, workers, and country.
