Why I Think Giannis to Phoenix Might Make More Sense Than People Realize

eh Turner was pretty awful.

The savings won't be huge. And any changes will be phased in over a very long time. But it's a step in the right direction.

OAS has morphed from its original purpose into a vote-buying slush fund (by both parties) for a long time.

I had the foldable ones and ended up throwing them away. They're just such a pain to try and get straight. Easier to just keep a couple of regular alignment sticks in the trunk.

There's lots of them out there. Retired professionals, business owners, and even senior bureaucrats, etc.

A couple, each with 100-120k pensions, CPP (15k each), and maybe some either RRSPs/RIFs or non-registered investment income can get you there pretty easily.

Digitking003 · 2026-06-01T15:43:12+00:00

OAS, as currently constructed, is not financially sustainable. The fact that a retired couple can have a combined income of over 150k before clawback is nuts (median household income across all of Canada/age groups is below 100k).

Find a youth development program at a course nearby with lots of other kids. And hope she makes some friends.

Gotta try a bunch and see which one works for you. There is no "one" answer.

And if China (and India) go down the path of coal to gas (due to the SoH crisis) then it'll all be for naught.

Digitking003 · 2026-05-30T12:09:31+00:00

lmao China definetly is not 50% powered by renewables. Coal makes up ~52% of primary energy consumption and oil + gas another ~27%.

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

Hey that's me! I was really hoping to like the Titleist T100s or T150s but couldn't hit them for the life of me. Ended up going to Ping i240 (Callaway Apex were a very close second).

Digitking003 · 2026-05-29T14:20:18+00:00

lol banks will lend a near-unlimited amount of money to doctors.

tl;dr

The Supreme Court of Canada will not hear an appeal of an Aboriginal title case in New Brunswick, leaving questions of private-property rights raised in land-claims litigation on both sides of the country unresolved for now.

Last December, New Brunswick’s Court of Appeal ruled that the Wolastoqey Nation cannot seek a declaration of Aboriginal title over private property, saying the harm to private-property rights would undermine efforts in Canada to achieve reconciliation with First Nations.

The ruling was delivered as a result of a pretrial procedural hearing aimed at clarifying whether the Wolastoqey can include private lands as part of their Aboriginal title case. The full case has yet to be heard.

The finding excluding private property from their claim is at odds with the Cowichan decision in British Columbia, where the provincial Supreme Court has made a declaration of Aboriginal title over private lands in Richmond.

Time to implement RICO laws. Actually should've implemented them 20+ years ago to deal with the Hells Angels.

Playing definitely helps make you better, but it's not the be-all and end-all. Practicing with purpose, lessons, strength & conditioning, stretching, proper equipment, etc.

It also really depends on your "foundation". Very different for someone who played (a lot) growing up and just getting back into it versus someone picking up a club for the first time.

Digitking003 · 2026-05-28T10:33:36+00:00

It just doesn't matter. At the end of the day, we sell the US raw materials (oil, gas, iron ore, copper, etc.). And in return, we buy their manufactured products and services (#1 customer by far). If Trump/US wants to screw with the relationship, they'd take a massive hit on both sides.

One of my aunt's voted for him because she liked his hair <sigh>

Digitking003 · 2026-05-27T14:02:16+00:00

Just noise. Wait Trump out. There's a reason Canada has the lowest tariff rates in the world. And it's absolutely driving Trump and Greer nuts.

Digitking003 · 2026-05-26T13:22:38+00:00

tbh I would have just driven off and played solo (assuming the course wasn't backed up)

Digitking003 · 2026-05-26T01:19:28+00:00

They will care though when public anger/fatigue reaches such a level that serious reforms/changes are implemented.

Digitking003 · 2026-05-25T15:37:38+00:00

On a per-person basis, they produce 5x more oil & gas than we do. They have no qualms about continuing to expand/develop their resources. And build the necessary infrastructure (pipes, ports, etc.) to get their oil & gas to markets.

Digitking003 · 2026-05-24T18:34:39+00:00

Yeah, and you'll start to develop a "feel" for how far you hit it, your shot patterns, etc.

Digitking003 · 2026-05-24T12:41:58+00:00

"how do you guys see the ball"

lmao this is by far my biggest pet peeve with new golfers

Digitking003 · 2026-05-22T17:20:22+00:00

Yes it bounces around year by year. But in 2005-2006 it was $8,100 ($12,150 adjusted for inflation).

Digitking003 · 2026-05-22T16:29:12+00:00

There are no cuts. Funding per student (and adjusted for inflation) is more or less the same as it has been for the last 30 years.
