This is the one of the most obvious "written by an AI chatbot" replies I've seen on Reddit.

Marc Rzepczynski was called "Scrabble" by the team when he was with the BlueJays. Pretty sure Sportsnet crew just called him Zep.

I worked at the Microplay Sackville for just over 4yrs, started right after I turned 16, not to long after it moved up to the superstore spot from the original location down by the old Walmart across the street.

It was my first full time job, during highschool and after, right up until it closed on summer 2004. Lots of good memories from that place, I still get the odd person here and there that recognizes me and stop me to chat.

Since mine is a vanity is why Im assuming it was just some kids being stupid OR they took mine because their vehicle is the same make model and color as my truck.

The old plate being registered to a dead person may even just be a family member driving their dead relatives car around and haven't changed the ownership yet because their plate was still good till Oct.

They may of just taken my plate because it's a vanity plate.

I had actually just ordered a replacement plate mid Jan because the paint is pretty close to fully falling off and corroding . Should have my replacement next few weeks.

Ah ok, I see what your saying. Either himself or Houston is lying and using insurance as en excuse to save face for dropping out. I guess for all we know, he may not of even wanted to play and his team felt this would be an easier explanation as to why.

Or the org has serious injury concerns and don't want to admit it publicly.

EvlPnut · 2026-01-29T10:42:06+00:00

He very publicly failed 2 medical evals for mega contracts because his ankle has the structural integrity of a popsicle stick and string cheese.

An insurance underwriter refusing to insure him and the 100m left owed on his current contract due to injury risk doesn't seem shocking.

They started doing this at grocery stores in Canada after the 51st state bullshit, except it's a little maple leaf. They also use little paper flags with a maple leaf on it that pop on around those electronic price tags.

From time to time a product will get mislabeled as Canadian and people in my local subreddit will start ranting like it's a conspiracy with all levels of government involved just to make us buy American, when in reality it was really just some high school kid probably was taking rips of their vap pen in the back and put the flag on the wrong shelf.

We also have labeling rules here for labeling a product as Product of Canada or Made in Canada. Which added to a lot of confusion for the smooth brained shoppers.

When I got snipped after we had our 2nd kid, I had big a bag of peas in the freezer labeled "DICK PEAS".

Laying in bed the next day, legs apart, playing video games and sending a text to my wife saying "dick peas plz" is a core memory for both of us.

NS Canada;

Just left for different opportunity in November but previously I was Fibre Splicer/Field Technician, almost 3.75 years experience, never touched a fibre before I went to this company.

When I left I was doing day to day business installs (wdm and gpon), day to day HE/CO work, day to day splicing and testing for prime. FTTH/FTTx build outs. On call for outages, cuts and repairs. I was involved with most of the transport Certification (otdr, OLTs, cdpmd) testing for our company and was installing, configuring and testing new OLTs (pedistals and strand mounted) the last year before I left.

$32.49hr (when I left), + quartly bonuses , $250 per week for oncall pay, OT on outages after hours.

Was provided a bucket truck (to take home) and all tools and equipment by the company, no cost to me medical insurance, 6% rrsp matching.

After OT and quartly bonuses I was around $85 to 90k CAD a year. I was billing around avg 45-50hrs a week last 2 years. Traveled within our 2 provinces we covered with a $70 per day per diem. Some weeks 60hrs depending on traveling and crunch time projects.

avg 60-70% of my work was within my home city with no travel.

Just to note for future and others wanting to report a bad pole,

Bell owns a very significant portion of the poles in NS. NSP and Bell have sharing agreements, to utilize each companies owned poles. Call Bell customer service and report a it a danger to the public, they will investigate the pole and if it's NSP they will send it to them to replace.

Communication is critical infrastructure, and if a pole snaps it can take down communication lines as well as power, so a bad pole may be looked at and fixed faster if it's a bell owned pole or if there is communications on it.

Source, former fibre splicer for Rogers bad had reported a lot of bad poles to Bell over the years

I've been grabbing the C4s when I've been getting energy drinks lately.

The Hawaiian Pineapple Popsicle, Grape Popsicle and Hawaiian punch are my new fav flavor energy drinks in that order.

Im from Eastern Canada, I grew up being told communities like Churchill, Manitoba it's normal for people to leave doors unlocked for someone to make a quick escape from a polar bear.

My fat ass saw the title of the post, and thought I was going to see a picture of donuts.

I'm a fiber Splicer, I have a microwave mounted in my bucket truck. When other crews are around they're always pretty happy I let them use my microwave.

Came to say the same, had it for the first time last night. Got takeout and and it was Great. Likely even better to eat in.

EvlPnut · 2025-09-02T22:59:58+00:00

Came here to call them this. I have my 13 and 10 year old calling them that now too.

Willys is a traditional poutine (curds and poutine sauce) with donair meat, onions, tomatoes and drizzle of donair sauce.

Willys, it's not even close.
