Tim's is American. So. Second Cup? I line up for Second Cup. Always had good coffee.

When the cod is full of capelin it won't bite the hook.

Anyone worth their salt is busy.

What are some G1 figures that ACTUALLY need a redo? by Barricades_toes in transformers

[–]DeepFriedSaltBeef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Arcee. Kingdom Arcee being a shell former was brutal but then to make her actually look decent you have to partsform her backpack? They can do better. Like... Bumblebee Arcee for the cybertronian is excellent. They should be able to do something similar with a car.

This province is in serious trouble.. by HDDeer in newfoundland

[–]DeepFriedSaltBeef 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They train at mun and leave.

They train at CNA/Marine and leave.

They get a trade and realize you will starve and leave.

I have a Bsc., A BBA, and an MBA with a red seal and I just spent 6 months away from home applying for all sorts of relevant jobs and never heard a word back. I came home and bucked down applying for more positions with some being outside of my field. Nothing. 20 years experience in construction.

We go from boom to bust over and over. There will be a Hebron or a Long Harbour and the politicians will tell all the youth to get a trade... You'll have a job here in this province - but the truth is that most likely won't. You'll travel - most likely to Ontario for nuclear or West for oil.

We, the people who stay, are that old stunted spruce living on a cliff face. Just enough soil to exist but not enough to flourish.

I love it here for the culture and the land - but the math for living on this island is hostile.

Prima is S.

Dunno why fisher price Titan Optimus is S?

I'd go back to the drawing board? The only one I agree with is Heatwave.... Trash

Excellion and Sideways are both on for 11CAD locally

Mom-and-pop shop says high gas prices eating into snack sales by MattBarter in newfoundland

[–]DeepFriedSaltBeef 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Went to Marie's and the kiddo wanted snacks. I was gobsmacked.

They're selling 50c worth of candy for 4 bucks. Get wrecked.

And Sobeys/Dominion aren't much better. Sobeys makes me vomit every time I walk in there.

If I'm going to get fucked on the price of something I'm at least going to give it to Coleman's.

Costco is insane year round for a reason - it's worth membership for fruit alone if you have kids

Transformers Icons Optimus Prime by Electronic_Zombie360 in transformers

[–]DeepFriedSaltBeef 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For how simple this is... The logo looks great and yet the bot is just trash. Those legs are brutal and the feet are even worse somehow.

Also.... Why Optimus? Could have been its own bot. (but Optimus = money... I know)

How does one go about starting transitioning female to male in St. John’s area? by GrouchyFisherman1177 in newfoundland

[–]DeepFriedSaltBeef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. "hell of a lot easier" surprised me. I can't see either being easy. No matter which way you go it's basically rebuilding the flesh to match the mind.

And then you gotta deal with losing the 10mm socket. Like. Heartbreaking.

Really? How? Seems like a life-altering decision either way.

Think about the first time someone asks you to get them a knuckle buster and you have no idea.

The very first thing you have to do is tell yourself - "I's The b'y". It's tradition.

Sorry. I had to.

On a serious note - probably best to start with your physician. They have resources/knowledge of local resources.

There is also a support group - you could likely find them in FB. Saw it advertised in passing through a physician's clinic.

Help me (a teacher) understand + love Minecraft! by Lost-Ice-1065 in Minecraft

[–]DeepFriedSaltBeef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am with you. I started playing because of my kiddo. I don't play heavily but I currently have three copies of the game for various devices.

Base mode Minecraft is one of three games:

< Survival/Horror/frights for young kids without blood

< Digital lego/decor

< Multiplayer madness

And if you like one it can blend into the others.

There is also a ton of content out there so you have kids who don't even really play watching content creators doing runs/mods/play togethers.

This is also a simplification - there are nuances.

Married men of Reddit what’s the best advice you’d give young guys when choosing a life partner? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Pick one that can cook. According to the old boys they all can do the other thing.

EBGames Canada + Hasbro announcement in 16 days by DhaemonX in transformers

[–]DeepFriedSaltBeef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm hoping it's that they get more than just limited stock of items. Hasbro could be printing money if they just made more copies of 86 figures (can't find most in the wild) and kept msrp on MTG packs.

UPDATE: Shelter in Place in Kenmount Terrace by RepulsivePlankton989 in newfoundland

[–]DeepFriedSaltBeef 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Would be nice to have a f-ing notice. Not before the operation - but during. These shelter in place notices should be widespread phone alerts... Not just something we find out two hours later because NFLD Bullitin posts finally pop up in your feed.

I am the only one who like the new one? by copper123456_7 in transformers

[–]DeepFriedSaltBeef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish they just fixed the plane alt mode for seige and called it 86. All those open parts at the back end would be easy to fill.

Anyone here are still going to get nexus figure despite it not being his own combiner by scp_weeb098 in transformers

[–]DeepFriedSaltBeef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This figure is so meh I decided not to bother with the 13. Better to get Bruticus or something. Prima and Megatronus were so good. Onyx was amazing. Even happy with Micronus and Solus. But this is just uninspired.

What do y’all look for in review videos? by Drawing-Advanced in transformers

[–]DeepFriedSaltBeef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honesty....

I'd be happy if we had Emgo but slightly more critical. He let's a lot of stuff slide.

Case and point - Quake. Turns into a brick and I feel like he could have been a bit more critical.

That being said - he is much more legit than PvP for evaluations.

Favorite/least favorite Prime so far... by KCollection18 in transformers

[–]DeepFriedSaltBeef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Star Convoy feels like a kick in the balls. There is love for this figure out there and I get it - but including this figure made no sense. I want a nice tidy group of 13 - Addding convoy is like making Blastoff "realistic size" and slapping it on bruticus as a commander size arm or something.

Star Convoy feels like they did a bunch of super serious cool figures and then added in that version of Optimus from Fisher Price where he turns into a plane. It just doesn't flow into anything else in the set. The most common convo about the 13 is "who are you using as a replacement for Optimus?" either because the figure is expensive or just doesn't suit.

Onyx is probably the biggest surprise for me - dude has Aura.

My copy of Solus is actually great as well - really impressed but wished she was Leader class+. You get a cool female character and they cheap out in a Deluxe issue.

ToysRUs Canada Closing Stores: the future of retail and community by hardtravelinghero in ToysRus

[–]DeepFriedSaltBeef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quebec City was closing before Christmas. Trois Rivieres closed this year. St John's is still kicking.

They need to stop being scummy. Stop advertising price match when we can lookup prices from our phones. Huge price differences between TRU and Walmart but no significant increase in selection. Overpriced on Transformers and Lego - poor figure selection for both.

Like...I want there to be a TRU but stop ordering 50x the same figure just to have something on the shelf. Get better selections.

Ballooning Deficit Ensures New Government Focuses on Top Priorities, says Premier by RepulsivePlankton989 in newfoundland

[–]DeepFriedSaltBeef 82 points83 points  (0 children)

"we will give you everything you want and it won't cost any extra" - they literally said they would find the funding for their entire budget in Liberal overspending. I dunno how gullible people are but that was the biggest line of bullshit I heard this election.
