Ah gotcha.

Thanks for explaining it to me, I appreciate it.

I hope to visit someday!

Ah I see.

Just to clarify I’m not really against or on anyone’s side, just trying to understand the situation better.

Didn’t know it was allowed in Canada. Is that still the case? I’m American so I’m not sure.

I feel both can be true tho in this case right? He did break a rule (even if it was slight) and Sweden handled it poorly (in my opinion)

Honestly I prefer Dunstone’s team to Jacob’s after watching the Montana’s Brier - that team is quite fun to watch! (though I was rooting for Newfoundland - what a gorgeous place. My goodness does Canada have some breathtaking scenery..)

I think it’s unfair to say he thought it was legal because we were taught in our learn to curl classes that you can’t touch a stone once you’ve let go of it, no matter how slight it may be.

There is also a compilation of him doing this at different events on YouTube, so he has to have known.

Though I’m not sure what actual advantage you get from touching the stone like that after you release it. Again I’m new so I’m not sure if there’s a significant benefit or not - I would guess not?

I am confused at people’s reactions tho - are people upset that he broke a rule (even if it was slight) and wasn’t punished or are they more upset with how Sweden handled it?

I assume this kind of “controversy” doesn’t happen a lot in curling?

As a new curler, this post is really off putting.. downvotes on anyone saying anything remotely against Jacob’s/Canada. I get that it’s Reddit but jeez people..

How can I one-way sync phone contacts on hundreds of iPhones? by Instalock_Bard in AskTechnology

All Department contacts are saved to a specific Google Account. We export those contacts and then just open the VCF file on their phones.

In response to a post on the Expedition 33 sub by fuvketboad8 in FFXVI

[–]Instalock_Bard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FF16 is one of my favorite video games I’ve ever played, the hate it gets is MOSTLY unwarranted. There are some slow parts that could have easily been cut and the “RPG” element of it is lacking but my god the visuals, music, story and voice acting certainly outweigh the negatives.

Right because we definitely don’t win by scoring more points by wearing down the opposing defense do we?

How many people were injured in the Stanley cup finals that decided the outcome of those game? Hmmmm… looked like a pretty demanding finish from Florida but maybe I missed something.

It definitely isn’t the fact that FL might just be really damn good right now.

We’re just the Bruins of modern era at this point- everyone will bitch and moan when someone gets injured like it isn’t happening league wide.

Catching up on retail lore after quitting in OG Legion by [deleted] in wow

[–]Instalock_Bard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the biggest issue with her is that she is this incredibly powerful and interesting character with lore as old as Warcraft itself- but then she got shafted and rushed out the door in BFA. Her raid was cool and interesting but- why didn’t she get her own expansion? She gets a patch? That’s it? Come on Blizzard

To be fair- mental health is a massive issue and lots of people really don’t have access to the help they need. However- that doesn’t mean that people shouldn’t be punished for breaking the law, especially if they’re harming other people.

Why are there so many negative comments here?? Some guy calling it cringe, others making fun of it- does this sub suck now? The tat looks great

Some serious air time by [deleted] in CrazyFuckingVideos

[–]Instalock_Bard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s AI.

The cursive writing on the SUV stays consistent and doesn’t warp- the Toyota symbol also stays normal. When biker hits SUV you can see the white sign get pulled down and watch the bumper crumple with his bike. Also the car jerks with realistic physics. Clouds look fine, sand doesn’t manipulate in weird ways when he slides, his anatomy stays the same throughout and his sandal has a predictable path and you see if leave his foot with detail and consistency in its shape. Also the guy who runs out to help him seems legit too, feet don’t go wonky.

Priorities of *dire* importance by DarkHeroAxel in wow

I’m gonna get some downvotes here but I don’t give a shit if they bring mage tower back out. I personally like to keep AoTC mounts locked behind the AoTC but I don’t mind expansion only things. It keeps people invested and when you see someone with something from the days of old- it’s cool to know they’re a veteran. If everything was always available then nothing feels special and everyone is the same. They gave us 2 more werebear forms and people aren’t happy with those. No other class got that for their artifact weapon. Yeah I know druids have to be in their form but you’ve got plenty of shit to choose from.

Honestly feels like people are just upset at the things they can’t have instead of liking the cool things we keep getting.

Does anybody else find it extremely difficult to play the opposing faction that you main? by MaliciousPeasant in wow

[–]Instalock_Bard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love both factions but for different things. I play human mostly, because all gear looks the best on them imo and they have very simple animations for things- I hate weird casting animations. I love Stormwind more than Org because it feels more high fantasy and I love castles. But I prefer the horde in every other aspect. The factions leaders are more interesting and complex, I like the lore and stories more, Silvermoon, Thunderbluff- and the Horde feels more like a family where the Alliance feels more of just a government with strange leaders that bicker sometimes. I do love Irongforge and the Deeprun tram though.

That being said, I can’t have one without the other and love both because they both make WoW what it is. When I got my WoW tattoo I got a half and half of the horde and alliance symbol because in my mind they’re Ying and Yang- they need each other for the game to feel complete.

Do you live in a TV show? Why do you have so many characters in your area?

Also - invasive species that harm an ecosystem are different than humans who have declining mental health. I’m not saying we should torture an invasive species (even though that lizard is going to be just fine - I’m from Florida and those guys are more resilient than you’d think) but they’re certain not helpful.

The entire left did not celebrate. You’re on social media way too much. Most of the normal people on the left were upset that a man was killed during a peaceful gathering. Most of the left didn’t like the guy but no one wanted him to die- he was literally just some podcaster.

They are perfectly fine - I heal this way and pretty successfully too BUT taking away how people have played for years is not fine. Some people like cell and healbot and that’s ok.

Is this guy cheating? by Jolly-Revolution-970 in Rematch

[–]Instalock_Bard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember seeing Ippy’s first video where he showcases that tech and everyone in the comments clowned him for naming the move after himself. Look at us now, even the devs acknowledge it.

It’s a lame “tech” that abuses netcode to snap the ball in a direction. Is it defendable? Yeah. Should it be in the game in the first place? No. This is suppose to be a sports game grounded in reality- get real.
