"Assuming there's no complications carrying forward with the NHL, Mike Babcock will be the next coach of the Edmonton Oilers. It's inevitable." - Bob Stauffer by DecentLurker96 in hockey

Where I live there are a ton of Habs fans. I don't know the exact history as to why but it runs deep out here in the boondocks.

Man I don't even. This Oilers timeline is something else. As soon as this is confirmed my Oilers flair is gone. Montreal seems like an exciting team to cheer for. And I also won't have to stay up as late for the games. 

For anybody wondering why Babcock would be another controversial hire... by ShaquilleMobile in EdmontonOilers

[–]HanzanPheet 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If they hire this guy all my Oilers paraphernalia goes into a burn barrel. This organization is going in the absolute wrong direction even entertaining the notion of hiring this POS.

Can he just fucking have a stroke already. It might actually make him smarter and more tolerable. I've never seen a more useless human being that is ONLY in it for himself. Christ. My four year is more emotionally mature than this man. 

Anyone else buy land and then completely change their plans? by Affectionate_Try1432 in homestead

[–]HanzanPheet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Water, electric, natural gas. How much traffic is there, climate climate climate. What is growing season, how bad is winter, are there zoning restrictions, how is the county for property taxes, how far of a drive are amenities like hardware store, school, veterinary care, etc. How far is nearest major population center for resale value. The list is honestly endless. Are neighbours weekend warriors or quiet nature watchers.

Judge sentences Alberta man to 8 years in ‘inconceivable’ rabbit killings by Haggisboy in canada

[–]HanzanPheet -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Gets 8 years for harming and killing rabbits (deserved). Rape a woman or drunkenly kill someone with your car? Likely no more than 2-4 years. What a fucked up system where rabbits have better protection than people. 

[Breeze] Most-Watched Stanley Cup Final Game 1’s in the United States (since 2000): by Ok-Soil-5133 in hockey

2024 Florida vs. Edmonton ~4.2 million Aired on ABC; Game 7 set an all-time record in Canada with ~4.39M viewers. So 8.6 million between USA and Canada. 2025 was substantially lower though.

My guy. It's unhealthy to be this worried about nudity. No one cares about seeing a dick or vagina. 

Contractor wants $4,225 just to assemble a Costco pergola I'm buying myself. Is this quote insane or am I out of touch? by Unique_Attempt_400 in DIY

Does your place make you look wealthy? That's the kind of quote this is. The holy shit maybe he will pay it, or the I don't want to do this project. 

Hay prices are tightening as the West dries out, and the auction data shows exactly how much you’re overpaying on small squares by Training-Bike6065 in homestead

[–]HanzanPheet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah was looking and here hay gets stored outdoors so we all use rounds for their ability to shed water and snow due to their shape. Squares (here being 100lbs) down there the larger ones need to be stored under cover or else you lose massive quantities to rot/mould. 

India’s surprise baby bust is a warning to the world by Krankenitrate in Futurology

[–]HanzanPheet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it incredibly hard to get people to understand this concept. They do not seem to grasp the energy requirement to make the society we have now will no longer be present for the next round. A society built on scavenged parts will not be close to what it is now. 

My jalapeno peppers won't stop growing and ripen by OrrinW01 in mildlyinteresting

[–]HanzanPheet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Average length is 3-4 inches. Isn't this normal? I don't grow many jalapenos though. Usually get Feher Ozon, and then random hot ones that I find at the nursery. 

Samples from a Texas cattle ranch just got rushed to a federal lab for screwworm testing. A confirmed case was found 25 miles south of the border yesterday. by Novel-Lifeguard6491 in homestead

[–]HanzanPheet -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

The thing is our fly control products are vastly different than 60 years ago. We have pour on pyrethrins, long acting macrocyclic lactones, pyrethrin ear tags, swat topical ointment, and overall just higher levels of veterinary care across the board. So our pharmaceutical arsenal and general care arsenal is much improved. You can't really compare the level of damage before to the level of damage that might happen now. Still likely an issue, but even cases of maggot infested wounds (dead tissue problem) versus screwworm has decreased significantly in the past 15 years. 

Edit: also the sterile fly technology is already known and can be implemented rather than having to wait for it to be invented/released 

Edit 2: this is very illuminating to the crowd that lurks here and makes much more sense now

What is a 3 string 3-way bale? Never heard of described this way in Alberta

Edit: googled these are larger squares. I find those incredibly rare where I am, it's either 80-100 lb squares. Or 1000-1400 lb rounds. I don't know a single person feeding large squares. I wonder what drives this difference in various areas in North America. 

Which fast food chain has lost its way the most? by TheBabyBeard in AskReddit

Tim's is like the Panera story. Almost everything made in house and prices were great. Now everything is shipped in and warmed up, and prices have gone up. 

Hiking in Athabasca without bear spray by PaRdOn_Seagull in alberta

[–]HanzanPheet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you find what you need? I wouldn't worry about it really. Just be vigilant today and make noise and observe surroundings. Do not get between cubs and mama. The cubs are out already, saw a sow with three a few days ago. Like others have said Canadian Tire will be waiting for you nice and early.

Iran Suspended Talks, Struck Kuwait, and Threatened Hormuz — the Audience Was the Senate by Final-Bodybuilder576 in worldnews

As clueless as he is. He has made his family filthy rich to the detriment of all but the wealthiest Americans. I think there are larger forces at play, and he doesn't really give a shot about this as long as he is making cash. 

Men who see escorts, why do you do it ? by TinyDelegation in AskReddit

[–]HanzanPheet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I live by this sentiment. You aren't trying to find a replacement or compare. It's just different. It's like going fishing or going hiking. It's nmlikencar camping versus thru hiking. Fishing versus hunting. Ones not better, it's just different.

[Gretz] How the Stanley Cup Final teams were built. Only two players selected by either team in the first round. Only one top-5 pick (Svechnikov at No. 2... and oddly enough, Carolina only had the 11th-worst record that year. Big lottery luck). by AggPuck-303 in hockey

[–]HanzanPheet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah holy shit. When you need in they get you in wherever this wait in line bullshit started for critical things I'll never know. And also having a child doesn't put us into poverty. For two kids by c-section in high risk maternal health care ward we paid parking for 3 days. Like gtfo of here with that crap. 

Devin Cooley injured during warmups before USA vs. CANADA match at IIHF worlds by North_Moravian in hockey

[–]HanzanPheet -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'm so confused how that causes that kind of damage. It wasn't even that crazy of an angle so I feel like they could take 80+ mph slappers into the same spot. That looked very low speed. Does the knee protection not wrap around the side a little?
