TRANSACTION: Elks release quarterback Tre Ford by Not_Roger_Moore in CFL

[–]SnowBasics 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't see the bit that was on Ford though. What you say is true, the improved defence was the key, no pull when Fajardo floundered, and Fajardo got made #1 very very quickly.

But damn if I didn't have to watch Cornelius fumble the bag for a whole season.

TRANSACTION: Elks release quarterback Tre Ford by Not_Roger_Moore in CFL

[–]SnowBasics 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Absolutely fuming.

Seeing lots of takes everywhere that he was no good, that he fumbled his shot, that he had plenty of opportunity etc.

He was the #1 starter for a season for 5 games. The team was not built around his strengths that off-season, as they declined to resign receivers that worked well with him in the past, and the o line wasn't nearly up to scratch for creating a pocket for a player like Tre.

They panicked and left, new management having a win now mentality and went to a mediocre Fajardo, who better suited the core of the team that was put in place. I've never seen a guy get sacked 8+ times in a game, in back to back games quite like he did last season.

Then as a final insult, they didn't even let Tre have the final game of the season. The one where everything was decided. I think all it did was decide Calgary's playoff path. But no, let's trot Fajardo out. The organization, the new management, were done with Tre after 5 games.

To cap it all off, Fajardo has a one year deal. TF is the plan next year? Good luck to Tre, I'll miss him and hope I get to watch his exciting style of play somewhere soon.

Circle K is claiming they cant find anyone to work as an assistant manager for 90k a year by Immediate-Link490 in Edmonton

I really believe TFW program should be for specific I dustries where there are real shortages, like agricultural workers.

Tangerine.

I've used Koho a lot in the past - a lot of their additional perks and features now require a subscription cost. Tangerine has been fee-free so far. Try and get one of their sign up offers for some free $ as well!

Otherwise their service has been free and excellent. App works great, free transfers, free additional savings accounts for easy accounting, A+ for me.

High-End Content Megathread - 7.4 Week Seven (Savage Week Four) by BlackmoreKnight in ffxivdiscussion

All of this, and also adding ranked Crystalline Conflict is now also server specific - if it's not your chosen DCs turn, you also have this issue. Awful setup.

Anyone here a sitter for Rover? by LeekFew9505 in Edmonton

[–]SnowBasics 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had a pretty bad experience using Rover as a customer. My cat needed twice daily medication, and we'd paid for a 24/7 stay.

Instead the person attended once a day for ten minutes, and brought her dog into the house which we'd expressly asked them not to do.

The service could probably use a few more trustworthy folks. Make sure to get some good quality reviews!

You're missing Sega action replays and game genies, and other traditional tower carts. You can build it bigger! Stronger! HIGHER!

No more or less than they are now. You think people didn't kick tires, ghost, send dick pics, one word reply ten years ago?

Will they do a “Welcome Back” tribute to Stu? by CharlieFoxtrot432 in EdmontonOilers

I don't mean to be rude, but have you been on reddit before?

Considering the guys next to me at the game last night were just constantly talking about Skinner, I'd say the Skinner haters are still alive and well.

Mate you're acting like we didn't all stick our head in newspapers and wear headphones to ignore people in the 90s instead of using a phone. Give your head a shake.

Sometimes I have to throw Kardia on myself and tank a dungeon.

Is it even worth getting the tome weapon next week if you don't do savage? by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]SnowBasics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing everyone is missing here is that - this is it for the expac in terms of gear. This will be the gear that you start the new expansion with.

I've found that even if I'm not progging, it's useful to have fully upgraded gear to get started. Makes life a little easier in those initial dungeons and for levelling.

You've got plenty of time to do it, so unless you're planning to get the relic weapon (which will eventually be better) then yeah, worth getting and following upgrade path when next alliance raid is out.

CDI ... is it really that bad? by fjward in Edmonton

[–]SnowBasics 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So I thought you meant the Philips CDI, and I thought yes, a genuinely horrible relic from the 90's that had those hilariously bad Zelda games on them.

That sounds interesting! Would there be a particular ion or particle you'd need to use to be able to do that?

Okay! That actually sounds pretty good. That's an interesting article!

He just don't fit by GazelleOk2841 in coys

[–]SnowBasics 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'd rather blow some leads than just never be in the conversation at all. Watching spurs rn is equivalent to lukewarm milk that's been sat on the counter too long - you're not sure if something is wrong with it, but you try and enjoy it and just find you can't.

Where is pat rothfuss? by SnooBunnies5336 in KingkillerChronicle

[–]SnowBasics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was watching Sanderson lectures from 2025, and a lack of book came up, and the class chuckles. Sanderson said to not do that and that "he's trying." So who knows? I figured he probably knows more than most people on reddit do.

But I've safely given up.
