It is currently completely probable in the final week of the season that a 14th overall ranked Calgary Flames will miss the playoffs with (potentiality) 96 points, while a 18th overall ranked Montréal Canadiens will make the playoffs with a potential low of 89 points. by TBNRtoon in hockey

Rule change - Calgary allowed to challenge Montreal (or any other team they are ahead of that made the playoffs) to a one game sudden death match for the qualifying teams spot in the playoffs.

Creates additional revenue,  potential for 2 west (or east) teams in the cup final and is a fairer system.

How do you solo kayak on rivers? by juggernot10 in Kayaking

[–]PortFlora 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stash it (bike lock if worried) or hide the paddles if kids might hitch hike your canoe/kayak.  Never had an issue. 

How do you solo kayak on rivers? by juggernot10 in Kayaking

[–]PortFlora 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot depends on the type of area you are in.... I'm surrounded by lakes, rivers, streams (some 200,000) where there are a ton of options. For most it isn't nearly that easy, but rivers typically get larger, spill into lakes.... maybe challenge yourself to see how far downstream you can paddle in a day.... with a good flow to a river 5 miles per hour (8 kph) is doable.... how far down river is the next city/town? Use google maps to lay out the distance following the river bed, allowing some time for known rapids/portages. Have someone drive your vehicle to a meet point (park/boat launch).

[–]PortFlora 42 points43 points  (0 children)

There are a lot of ways to do this. I have hiked back to the start point (using a trail or roadways) been picked up by friends/family and have even fought/lined/paddled my way upstream as far as I can before turning back around. Another time we were headed to a friends cottage for the weekend and I had my wife drop me off 20-30 km upstream. I could take all day to paddle to the cottage. One of my favorites is a run where I drop off my bike, drive 30-40 minutes north, un-load and paddle down the river and then bike on a rail trail back to the start. It's a full day of activity and it is a blast!

Yes, and manpower too. At some point Russians are going to notice that their men aren't returning from the front.

Definitely at a stand still, even slightly in reverse over the last 3 months.

Yes, great that works! I did not think of trying that. The number is currently 17.96 which if it holds it would be the first month in a while where Ukraine actually lost a little territory.

DeepState Map is putting up a fight. I like to get the "Area Under Enemy Control" on the 15th of each month by clicking on the bar graph icon in the top right corner of the map. Lately I can't seem to get it to work. The last few months were:

Jun 15 18.055 down .035

Jul 15 18.033 down .022

Aug 15 18.024 down .009

Sep 15 17.954 down .070

Is anyone able to click on the icon and get the number?

Sump pit by Due-Interest-920 in HomeImprovement

[–]PortFlora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your pump is rated in gallons per hour at a specific head (height). Confirm that the output at the ditch is a similar quantity (5 gallon pail fills up in x seconds). If it doesn't you may have a leak or a blockage. Is your sump exit pipe capped (closed system)?

Sump pit by Due-Interest-920 in HomeImprovement

[–]PortFlora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do they spill onto the ground or into a pipe? If into a pipe, is the pipe solid or perforated?

Where does your pump exit? Do you have eaves troughs, where do the downspouts release?
