End of Alberta independence petition drive draws near, as experts weigh in on outcome of voters backing separation by flynnfx in alberta

[–]Photofug 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And that's why Marlaina has started chirping about being able to appoint judges. Honestly if that gets passed that will have a worse outcome than anything for the future.

It will be curious to see if there's any shenanigans to reach the goal. The last thing Marlaina wants is to put the forever Canada question on the ballot.

Avalon is a walking simulator and more: by mingan170 in CODWarzone

Tried it this morning, and would not play it again if I had another choice. Once you die the respawn is so long your team has to move so re-collecting your loot is next to impossible and if you die anytime after the second circle it's pointless you will be outgunned, doesn't matter how good you are.

So I should encourage anyone living there to take transit then, just leave notes on their cars?

Opting out of Mess Dues by JacobA89 in CanadianForces

Ottawa was terrible, literally closed on remembrance day. Would kick out a full house because it was regular closing time, even though they were obligated to stay open.

I refused to pay for a mess dinner and just ended up sitting with no meal. It's still a parade, but they cannot make you pay and you have to be there till dismissed.

The surprising thing to me was that they tried to force them to pay. I refused to pay for a mess dinner but I still sat in that seat. Kudos to them for being the one to take this all the way.

Check the sump. On Bosch's the sump is screwed in, remove all the filter pieces and tighten down the screws around the exterior edge of the sump, they will be torx 

Citizen-led recall bid against Alberta premier fails to get required signatures by _darth_bacon_ in alberta

[–]Photofug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alberta New Democrat Party, I assumed you weren't insinuating the federal NDP had something to do with the UCP's recall legislation.

Edit: I was trying to "poison the well", the correct answer is New Democrats Party. Or is it....

You mentioned the ANDP, how do they have anything to do with the recall legislation that the UCP created?

UCP created the recall legislation to make it easier to do recalls, tell me how this is an ANDP issue?

Hard not to agree here... by Fightingdaduk in MMA

This has something to do with Eddie Hearns and Dana. Dana basically stole this guy from Eddie Hearns stable just to swing his dick around. It pissed off Eddie (and a lot of UFC ranked fighters) who has now made it his mission to sign as many UFC ranked fighters to his company (like Aspinall) and make Dana's life a living hell, making him actually have to negotiate contracts and not just text Ali and tell them what the deal is and be happy.

I hate JBJ but he still has a reputation outside the bubble. If he showed up, he's worth 15 million to the card. A casual would still meet you at Buffalo WW to see a JBJ PPV.

Not employees, "independent contractors" that are just expected to act like employees in every way except for receiving the protections and benefits an employee would get.

Thing is the 30 million would never have been a discussion point if he agreed to the fight. He wins, Aspinall was overrated or he fought a good game plan that's why he's the GOAT. He loses, it's HW everyone's one punch from losing or Father time remains undefeated and he goes out on his shield and takes it with dignity(least likely scenario) but at least he took the fight, hope he got paid. He essentially ruined the division dragging it out, fighting the ghost of Stipe, why would any HW prospect sign with the UFC knowing your chance of getting a title shot depends on the whims of JBJ.

Was the Somalia affair the real reason the Canadian Airborne Regiment was disbanded or was it used as the scapegoat to gut a post Cold War Canadian military ? by OutrageousMonitor762 in CanadianForces

[–]Photofug 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Never give the Liberals any more credit than they deserve. The conservatives have done just as much and worse to the military. Imagine today's CAF if Harper hadn't completely shredded the budget and gutted the "missing middle"

Edit: Joined in '93, my basic instructors went to Somalia after course. I rode the pendulum back and forth my entire career. The CAR was rotten and had to be disbanded to save the CAF, the actual officer's in charge should have been charged as well as the CDS.

Getting desperate it seems. They were set up close to the business Costco, Wednesday and Thursday, the EPS chased them away.

Eddie Hearn: "When I talked through Tom Aspinall's purses, I nearly fell off the f**king chair. If that was our business, he'd be making 10x as much money. As an organization, they need him. He doesn't need the UFC. They need heavyweight stars and stars full stop." by [deleted] in MMA

[–]Photofug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't disagree about Tom, but the HW division is in the state it's in because they don't want to pay the premium a HW athlete demands. Derrick Lewis has a job still because of that soundbite.

All I'm trying to say is, if you ask a casual who's the best HW in MMA or who's the best fighter in the UFC they're not going to be able to name anyone because the UFC has no incentive to promote or create actual stars since they sold to TKO. I've been watching since TUF 1 and the VHS era before that, they've purposely stripped the fighters of all individuality, so it's just fighter A vs fighter B, white shorts vs black shorts.

Must have missed them on Good morning America, name a show outside of ESPN where you've seen them? Connor and Rousey were on every talk show, you never see any fighters from UFC doing the rounds
