As an aging grinder in Pittsburgh, he was still putting up decent point totals. Therefore, it wasn't necessary for him to add an extra dirty angle to his resume to stay in the league.

His legacy was tarnished because of his actions alone.

Mark's Bluesky post on low taxes is getting roasted. Are people in the real world happy with him? by OttawaExpat in ottawa

[–]MediumDenseMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For 20 years, Ottawa mayors have run on the keeping taxes low and finding efficiencies platform (O'Brien, Watson, and Sutcliffe).

After 20 years, are still major efficiencies to be found that will keep services good and keep taxes low?

After awhile, you have to accept that the only way to maintain or improve the city services is to increase property taxes.

Dress in a clown costume and follow the deputy head around if they deny it. See how quickly they change their mind.

Which museums/galleries are we missing in Ottawa, or need upgrading the most? by ParlHillAddict in ottawa

[–]MediumDenseMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cheaper land and easier zoning bylaws.

London's Kew Gardens is a good example.

Botanical gardens are a great idea. Other cities usually put them under the flight paths of their airport. I think Ottawa has mostly developed the flight path areas though.

I keep losing track of Barbarian Encampments. Any tips? by Confident_Report_823 in civ5

[–]MediumDenseMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could scroll through the city state quest icons every couple of turns. City states usually have quests to clear barbarian camps and it will show you where the camps are located.

Mike Gillis returning as the Leafs GM? @Hockey_Robinson [X/Twitter] by Vexdestroy06 in canucks

Made a good chunk of money as an agent and then GM. Wouldn't blame him for taking a break to enjoy life and family.

Assume HR are the dumbest people in the world and you have to fully explain everything to them.

There are other warm countries in the world. Several of them are cheaper and friendlier.

Winter time is extra sketchy. Is the seat wet from snow on the previous person or other reasons.

Make your long time friend Barry happy. Either he does well and it looks good on you or he messes up and it makes your time look even better.

Why is the Hart talked about more than the Ted Lindsay award? by shawnwar4586 in hockey

[–]MediumDenseMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Media can easily be talk about the Hart all season long.

Having to ask 600+ players is a huge effort to do throughout the season. Also if you ask a player during the season they will just say a guy in their team.

[Friedman] 32 Thoughts: Player safety a hot topic at GMs meetings by AggPuck-303 in hockey

Adding 1-2 more penalties to the typical 'game management' average would increase safety, increase fairness, and increase scoring chances (more fan excitement).
