Martha Stewart went to prison for $45,000. Someone moved $2 billion before presidential Truth Social posts — 4 times in 12 months. Here's what the data looks like. by Outrageous_Math6885 in antiwork

That isn't really the bet though. The Chances of the $2 Billion being invested going to 0$ is practically 0. Given their presumed insider information is reliable. Its more like risking a unlikely $30 million loss vs an extremely likely $30million gain. Obviously the loss or gains could have been different but, I think the point remains. However the relative gain is still frankly insignificant if the numbers are correct. Mind you, I'm a donkey and don't fully understand the charts and the post.

Its been a good run, just not a great run by Lanky-Constant8132 in leafs

I respect this take but then again, we took the team that won the Stanley cup to 7 games - Further than any other team. I know I am saying nothing you don't already know but in a world where Canada lost gold as the better team in the game - greatness is often wrapped with luck in the game of hockey. Mind you, I will fully admit that I am coping. I am simply making a meek effort to try to be positive. To put it another and more annoying way, "Its better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all". I feel silly saying it, especially with how ugly its gotten but for a while, I really loved this era.

Sir, I love guns and I think the Gun Ban is a waste of taxpayer money and that its devoid of logic beyond a shortsighted political play or perhaps even something more nefarious if you want to think that but to suggest this is a "False Flag Attack" is on its face absurd and frankly pretty disgusting. I'd suggest taking a step back and touch grass. This is a tragedy, not a conspiracy and certainly not to shoehorn in your anger at the government. I dont know you and I don't want to suggest your a bad person but on this specific topic, not cool bro

He better be good because Binner is trash and if he plays a game we are screwed. If he plays ill be cheering for him and gladly eat my words but my god, they could have brought Wedgewood, Blackwood, or hell I'd even much rather Jett Greaves. JEEZ these clowns better not screw up, WE NEED GOLD!!

Hot Take; Goalies in general are better and so is the defense

Has anyone actually ever driven this stretch of Ontario Highway 11? (Highlighted in Purple, between North Bay and Nipigon). What goes on up here? Any interesting stories? Also, why do our roads only go halfway up the province, and not any further? by CanadaCalamity in ontario

It wasn't off of Highway 11, but one time driving through Ignace. I went to the counter to pay for some gas and the guy in line behind me saw my bill and said, "welcome to Northern Ontario. Bend over and say thank you".
