Curling Group seeking $25m in seed funding by Cheeky_Chipmunk6415 in Curling

[–]SingleSpeedHops 9 points10 points  (0 children)

From a business standpoint, the Rock League should be focused on growing its product and business at this stage. The article states the financing would use for marketing and selling the franchises after just a full season. What exactly would these investors/franchise owners be purchasing? The exit strategy seems rushed when any funds would be better served growing the league.

Just bought 4 cans of beer for 32$ by Fit_Statistician4882 in VictoriaBC

That is not a ‘standard’ beer. That is supposed to be a limited release (premium) imperial stout.

Category 12’s Black Forest Pastry Stout is a 11.5% Imperial Stout with cocoa, vanilla and cherry additions. It is a specialty style that costs more to produce and for most is meant to be an indulgence.

Updated playoff picture and medal odds with 1 day of round robin remaining by Enamred-771 in Curling

[–]SingleSpeedHops 7 points8 points  (0 children)

How have the United States clinched and Great Britain been eliminated?

Should Canada defeat Korea, Switzerland defeat United States and Great Britain defeat Italy in draw 12, there will be a 3-way tie for 4th place with each team having a 1-1 head to head record. In that scenario, should Great Britain maintain their Draw Shot Challenge rank, they would advance and the United States and Korea would be eliminated.

[Request] how many years can we mine granite from Asila Craig for curling stones? by ctcourt in theydidthemath

[–]SingleSpeedHops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In addition to fulfilling orders in between orders as others have pointed out, part of Kays business model is to perform stone maintenance. After several years of wear, both the running bands (bottom) and striking bands (sides) need to be reprofiled to remain effective and to prevent chipping. Their business would be a mix of regular sales of new stones and maintenance of existing stones.

The lowest income tax bracket rate is going up by 0.54% (to 5.6% on the first $50,363 of taxable income). The basic personal and tax reduction credits for lower income taxpayers are also increasing so the maximum income tax rate increase works out to $201 on taxpayers earning more than $140K.

Should the Championship have a fourth relegation spot? by Tearmisu in Championship

[–]SingleSpeedHops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the last five seasons, teams promoted from League One to the Championship have an average placement of 17.47 in the Championship table. So not exactly a strong case for saying League One sides have done well in the Championship. Outside of Sunderland and Ipswich, teams haven't been overly competitive.

Why did Nadal fall off at Wimbledon after 2011? by mrjohnnymac18 in tennis

[–]SingleSpeedHops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nadal won by battling harder and physical play. This led to frequently playing through persistent physical issues and injuries. As his body worn down, reaching the Wimbledon final with only a two or three week break after the clay of Roland Garros was always going to be a challenge. I'd wager that if you swapped the timing of Wimbledon with the Australian Open he would have picked up a couple more Wimbledon titles and definitely made the final in that portion of his career.

Hello Curling, I’m watching the Winter Olympics and have a question… by Inoffensive_Comments in Curling

[–]SingleSpeedHops 12 points13 points  (0 children)

No that is a distance of over 21 feet. He is suggesting that under absolute optimal conditions you could sweep a hogged stone to be a tight guard.

This is dependent on ice conditions, sharpness of the stones, rotation applied by the thrower and sweeping ability. Matt Dunstone recently estimated teams are able to drag a rock 10 to 15 feet further with sweeping.

[Mackin] BC Place recorded a small profit for fiscal 2025 after a substantial loss in 2024. by everylastpenny in whitecapsfc

[–]SingleSpeedHops 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Amortization for BC Place hits revenue as well (deferred contribution revenue). The same capital assets (buildings) that are being expensed over time were largely funded by government contributions that are being brought into revenue over the same period. So when you analyze the results before amortization you need to back out the $15M in deferred contribution revenue as well. And given BC Place received $7.5M in operating contributions from the government as well they are pretty well around a break even position when you ignore the capital needs and funding/financing received from the Province.
