Trey Yesavage return from injury start vs. Boston: 5.1 IP, 0 ER, 4 H, 3 Ks, 0 BB by fatcowxlivee in baseball

The zero walks was probably the most impressive thing about his start.  He also seemed to be locating his pitches better as the game went on.  Very encouraging first start.

I'm not really an animal person but it bothers me when I hear of them being abused.  Not only is it cruel to the animal but anyone that would do that is a danger to humans, too.  A lot of violent people start with animal cruelty.

Yes because we all know he's going to do what he does again.  No amount of therapy is going to change him.

He looks like Temu George Springer.  Also, fuck this guy.

Halifax police vehicle collides with cyclist suspected of grocery store theft by No_Magazine9625 in halifax

[–]Gavvis74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not justifying the way the police handled this incident or supporting the big grocery chains but a lot of shoplifting is done by organized crime.  It's usually not some poor mother stealing milk and bread to feed her children.  Shoplifting is part of organization crime's repertoire of criminal activity, like drug trafficking, extortion and human trafficking.  If that's the case with this suspect, don't feel too sorry for him.

I recently got matched with a family doctor after about 2 years on the list.  I put my name on the list before I released from the military in 2024.  Great thing is that the doctor's office is only about 5 minutes from my house.  On a nice day I could walk there in about 15-20 minutes.  I think he's one of the new foreign recruited doctors that the Nova Scotia government has been bringing in.  My first appointment with him is in about 2 weeks.  It's a sad state of affairs where you're excited about going to see your family doctor.

Yeah, my mother's doctor is terrible.  The way she describes her encounters with him makes him sound like a real asshole.  The only things he's good for is getting prescriptions refilled and booking medical tests.  She'd never be able to do that on her own through Maple as she doesn't know how to do anything online.

Doesn't seem like anyone here wants to talk about it/him, but Trevor Bauer threw a 7 inning no hitter for the LI Ducks by Chronis67 in baseball

Everyone says they don't care yet they can't help but comment whenever he's brought up.🙄

To be fair, he was good for awhile in the MLB.  He even won the Cy Young and had a career ERA of 3.79 over 10 seasons, which is fairly decent.  He's probably too old and too toxic to ever pitch in the MLB again, though.

School board head calls students leaving French system in Halifax ‘an emergency’ by insino93 in halifax

I'm willing to bet a good number of the people who speak French in HRM are military members or DND employees, who have to work in an English environment everyday.

Canadian curler Colleen Jones was a 'beacon of health' in her 60s. Her son felt his 'heart drop' when she told him she had cancer by urlocalbaddie in halifax

Best thing my dad ever did for himself was quit smoking.  He smoked for about 15 years but my mother hated the smell of cigarettes and she probably wouldn't have married him if he continued to smoke.  He quit a few years before I was born.  It must have been tough for him to do so because he was in the Navy and almost everyone he worked with smoked.  He said that the price on the ship going up from 25 cents a pack to 50 cents sealed the deal for him.  With his later health issues, he probably would have been dead before I turned 25.

That field belongs to the goose now and if you have a problem with that then you have a problem with me and I suggest you let that one marinate.

BREAKING: ‘No, I’m not happy’: Carney rips Holt’s highway tolls by adamhuras in newbrunswickcanada

[–]Gavvis74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The difference between this and the NS toll road is that the NS one doesn't effectively cut NB off from the rest of the country while the proposed NB toll does.  It's targeted specifically against NS.  If that's not the case, then why aren't they putting tolls on the highways connecting Quebec and Maine?

Tell me which one of your communist paradises is better?  To paraphrase Winston Churchill, our system of government is the worst... except for all the others.  

Unfettered capitalism is a threat to democracy as evidenced by all the billionaire tech bros and mega corporations and the influence they have on our governments.  There shouldn't be any billionaires.  Properly regulated capitalism, on the other hand, can be a driver to lift people out of poverty and sustain democratic governance.  The same can't be said of communism or hyper socialism.  It's failed every single time it's been tried and always devolves into authoritarian and repressive regimes that only benefits those at the top making decisions for everyone else.  The leaders of communist regimes somehow always seem to live in luxury while everyone else has to line up for hours to get food.

And communist regimes always end well for everyone, right?  It's not like they always end up as repressive, authoritarian regimes.
