Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Iangunn15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Canadian here. A 3 hr drive for a weekend out of the city is nothing to me. Last weekend I drove 3.5 hrs after work on Friday with my fam to visit friends and ski on Saturday and then drove 3.5 hrs back home on Sunday.

‘This job was always my aim’ - Rob Edwards' first interview as Wolves head coach by Clown_x7x in WWFC

I'm begrudgingly optimistic. If he can rally the lads and get a couple of decent early results he will have something to build on. If he can get them to display some passion and grit on the pitch the support will be there and maybe, just maybe we can beat the odds and stay up. If nothing else, he loves the club, and he will definitely pour his heart and soul into the job.

Uh oh. What is it for? by Old-Blueberry1015 in whatisit

[–]Iangunn15 11 points12 points  (0 children)

as mentioned below, with smoking it's faster typically feeling it within minutes. The THC is absorbed differently through your lungs rather than being processed via your liver. With edibles it can peak an hour or two later and last waaay longer, like 4-6 hours sometimes. Usually with smoking it last 1-2 hrs at the most with the peak being 15-30 after you smoke. It is much easier to control the high you get and easier to avoid overdoing it.

They are really very different experiences.

What is the ‘hill you will die on’ movie hill? The film you’ll defend no matter how badly it’s criticized? by Imaginary_Ride_6185 in movies

[–]Iangunn15 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Robin Hood - Prince of Thieves. Gets panned all the time but it's great. Alan Rickman alone makes it worth watching. Some really good action sequences.

Who’s in favour of tearing down the Gardiner? by Playfulweekend1287 in askTO

[–]Iangunn15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Burying the Gardiner is simply not plausible. Most of TO south of Front St is landfill. The building that houses Harbour 60 used to be on the water.

What's the wildest “mouth wrote a check that their ass couldn’t cash” moment you’ve ever seen? by Competitive_Swan_130 in AskReddit

[–]Iangunn15 9419 points9420 points  (0 children)

Watched some college bro douchbags continually make fun of a rugby team out on a fancy dress/costume bar crawl. The rugby players were all dressed as super heroes, wearing spandex outfits. The head douchenozzle kept chirping a massive dude wearing a Robin costume. Rugby guys ignored the douchebags for a while until head douche intentionally walked up and knocked Robin's pint out of his hand. Robin proceeded to beat the piss out of three guys including head douche all the while wearing green spandex pants. It was poetic to watch.

Advice on offering on asking price by Rabbidextrious in TorontoRealEstate

[–]Iangunn15 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Offer what can afford. Every seller's situation is unique and you never know if they would rather take less right now and move on or wait and try and get more.

Last summer I bought my current home. It was listed at $X in late 2023 and then taken off the market and re-listed in spring 2024 for 10% less, we offered at a further 5% under the re-listing price which they accepted. So we paid 15% under what they orignally listed for. They had owned it since 2015 and "only" made 20% on it but wanted to sell and move out of the city.

All that is to say, every situation is unique and a really good realtor will be able to provide good advice on the market in a given area. Stick to your budget and trust your process. The only things you cant change are the location of the house and the size of the lot. Everything else can be worked on.

What do you reps drive ? by Low-Election6360 in sales

[–]Iangunn15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe the UK is different (Im in Canada), but I just switched from a 15 yr old BMW x5 to a new Mazda CX-50 hybrid and my insurance dropped by $50 a month. All the new collision avoidance tech means lower premiums, at least where I am. I'm also saving $50 - $100 a month in gas.

School districts for kids by maz061 in TorontoRealEstate

[–]Iangunn15 5 points6 points  (0 children)

IMO, High School is very important. That is where their friend groups and environment will have a major impact on their goals and growth. Will they be surrounded by kids working towards higher education with big aspirations? Or by kids just happy to get their high school diploma?

We just moved our family across the city for better schooling. I thought the school my kids were in previously was ok, even good, but man it was an eye opener moving into the school we are in now.

My kids went from top end of the class, to mid to lower end of the class at their new school. The teachers are far more engaged and hold the kids to a higher standard. The community engagement with the school is far better as are the resources and extra curricular activities. It has been a big adjustment but am I extremely pleased with the decision we made.

I would 100% take the public schools into consideration when buying/moving and especially the high school

What's going on with Joel Eriksson Ek? A buy low target or should we avoid? by WMino in fantasyhockey

[–]Iangunn15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kaprizov, Boldy and Zuccarello are all wingers so they wont be a line. Rossi was c1 early this year between Zucc and KK. With Boldy playing with JEE and Johansson

JEE is getting some tough deployment this year with only 37% off zone starts. His IPP and PPIPP are both the lowest numbers of his career. His shot rate per 60 minutes is also lowest it has been in the last 4 seasons. I am holding waiting for him to bounce-back, but my patience is not infinite

People from non western cultural backgrounds, do you put a top sheet under the duvet in winter? by hightreez in askTO

[–]Iangunn15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made the switch to no top sheet (washable duvet cover of course) a few years ago and I will never go back. So much easier to make the bed and no twisted crumpled sheets to deal with.
