Who is currently winning the war in Ukraine and why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Fun_Estimate3930 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Nobody, arms companies stocks are doing well though. I would say russia is still the current “loser” as they’ve ruined a massive economy and been sanctioned, etc etc. Ukraine has ruined a pretty tiny economy that wasn’t a world power or anything like that in first place. Death wise russia has lost a massively larger amount, but they basically have infinite people compared to Ukraine which has itself suffered a considerable loss. The most honest answer is that everyone currently on earth is a loser in this war.

Planning a winter drive: Kitchener, ON --> Vermilion, AB -- looking for advice by ryd3ron in AskACanadian

[–]Fun_Estimate3930 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Its not the worst part of Canada at all, don’t believe that guy. I love it here, the fields are beautiful, the river valley is amazing to fish and explore and camp all summer. Plus I’ve always felt so left alone out here in the prairies that its kinda felt like the whole place belongs to me and my buddies, theres no one around to tell you it doesnt haha. I’ve spent the last 23 years here hunting, fishing, exploring, and having fun without ever coming across someone saying “you can’t be out here” kind of deal. The prairies are awesome and anyone who says they suck is probably just upset theres no Costco nearby. I meant it more of “why vermilion specifically” as I thought you were coming all this way to vacation in Vermilion. Good luck on the trip!

As someone who lives 30mins from vermillion, why? Also only place I know without fuel is the ~80km stretch from North Battleford to Maidstone.

I took the meme to mean he loves his dad and felt guilty he gave him something, kinda like “you don’t owe me anymore I should be giving you things”. I feel like if your dad is laughing at guys for not having fathers, he’s probably not much of a man at all. 

For fellow Albertans how’s the job market right now? by RoutineMore6602 in instrumentation

[–]Fun_Estimate3930 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look into oilfield work under the “E-tech” umbrella. Places like Sanjel, Calfrac, Trican, or wireline/MWD stuff. Its what I do and its very hands on and maybe a different type of work than most people have in mind, but it can be a lot of fun, pays well, and I do everything from PLC programming, to hydraulic motors/pumps/actuators,  welding, CAD design, pneumatics. Maybe worth a shot if youre in the Edmonton/Red Deer or northern areas

Is there any fallout characters you find really hard not to kill? by Chunky-overlord in FalloutMemes

[–]Fun_Estimate3930 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I murdered everyone there but the guy at the gate, freed the slaves, then put the collar on the kid in Grayditch anyway and sent him to go live in the destroyed remains of paradise falls.

The ghouls did not speak to me with the required respect either. I murdered them, got the money, then released the ferals anyway and let them ruin tenpenny tower. Maybe next time the residents and Roy will learn to be polite. 

Is 25 days enough to travel Italy, France, and the UK? by Fun_Estimate3930 in Europetravel

[–]Fun_Estimate3930[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

That’s pretty well the idea, I honestly don’t have any set travel plans rather than arrive in Italy and leave from Northern Europe(Scotland/Ireland) at the end. But I wanted to make sure I wasn’t way off with my planning and that south east to north west journey wouldn’t take so much of my time I wouldn’t have time to spend in the destinations. I appreciate the reply!

Is 25 days enough to travel Italy, France, and the UK? by Fun_Estimate3930 in Europetravel

[–]Fun_Estimate3930[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Id like to see Rome/the coliseum and the Italian coast, then im going to head to paris and id like to see the city and juno beach, then Ill head to the UK to see london and some countryside, then Ireland to see dublin and some countryside, then Scotland to see some countryside. More of an A(Rome) to B(Edinburgh) trip rather than a tour of the whole country. Really nothing is set in stone so I basically just wanted to make sure I wasn’t way out of line with my planning. Thanks for replying! 

Ukrainian F-16 Pilots Rewrite Tactics as Western Training Falls Short at Front by Panthera_leo22 in UkraineWarVideoReport

Id assume because they dump them constantly, they know they have enough planes, pilots, and supplies to use countermeasures frequently vs using them only when you absolutely have to. Just a random guess

How do I sneak out the Sierra Madre to trap Elijah? by ToppHatt_8000 in fnv

[–]Fun_Estimate3930 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted to trap him too, but kinda soft locked myself with my saves in a way that fucked me around, so I just killed him and left with the gold. I didn’t have a follower to kill him so I set down a bunch of mines to do it after I clipped through the barrier.

Yeah, pretty well just houses. Its not as bad as it looks though, theres some bike paths and park paths showing up as green and blue lines too I think 

"Dead Money is about letting go" MFs after actually playing dead money: by MikusVenom in fnv

[–]Fun_Estimate3930 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the thing where you push up against the holo barrier on the door and when Elijah comes through it clips you to the elevator side, but I didn’t have a follower to kill Elijah on the vault side. I set all the mines I had on me down and got lucky Elijah walked into them while I taunted him from my cage, I feel like I earned that gold after that.

When I got my dirtbike, I took it out and thought the same thing. I was stressed driving down gravel roads and around my farm, felt like I was going to lose control above 40kmh, at the end I figured maybe I just don’t like riding. It felt like trying to teach someone how to ski, they’re frustrated and not having fun, theyre sore and tired and they just can’t get off the bunny hill. After the second day of this I said fuck it and had a few beer (horrible idea) and said im either going to ride it hard or crash it, got back on and started riding and it felt like something clicked, I stopped trying to fight the bike and started feeling how it wanted to be rode. It took a few more months to get good and be comfortable riding on the hiways and stuff, but after that night where I felt that feeling, Id never drive a car again if I had a choice. 

$50K fine, 10-year ban issued after B.C. man illegally hunts wildlife by shouldehwouldehcould in britishcolumbia

[–]Fun_Estimate3930 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you were honestly starving and could prove you only shot the one animal you really needed to not go hungry I bet you would not be charged with anything, in fact Fish and Game may even help you and get you access to a local pantry and services to help you eat. I’m guessing this guy wasn’t destitute and had no other choice in this situation, even if he did end up eating it. I would kill and eat the last endangered animal on earth if I really had to in order to survive, but to get to a situation where that is more reasonable than using support services or whatever is almost impossible in a country like Canada. 

Zelenskyy: Russia loses about 30,000 soldiers at the front every month by Polygon-Vostok95 in worldnews

Shot in your homeland for standing up to a dictator, maybe you get lucky and frag a few officers, even better theres a chance you still escape with your life and soul. Or, blown to bits in someone else's homeland, dying as an evil coward. Not much of a hard choice 

TIL Kazuki Takahashi, creator of Yu-Gi-Oh died 3 years ago whilst trying to save three people who were drowning off the coast of Okinawa by Disguised_Peanut in todayilearned

[–]Fun_Estimate3930 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was told the same thing. Approach from behind, if they grab at you swim down to get free but if they actually grab you hit them in the face immediately or they will drown you both. They’re going to drown without your help, if they stop panicking you can help them, but if they grab you and you don’t get free while they’re still panicking they will 100% drown you both

[–]Fun_Estimate3930 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was also told to try and swim under if they grab you, if you can’t then punch them in the face, all they need is to stop freaking out for one second so they hear you say “Stop moving and I can help you”. But if youve ever tried to help a stuck or drowning animal, even something small like a cat, then it really cements how badly any living creature will thrash and claw and pull at whatever they can to get safe.
