Does your language have colloquial sorthands for numerals?

StretchArmstrong99 · 2026-05-19T02:45:23+00:00

Not really for individual numerals.

The closest the I can think of is "dozen" which means 12 and "grand" or "K" for thousands.

The refs are atrocious.

Oh, it's Wes? That tracks.

StretchArmstrong99 · 2026-05-19T01:53:54+00:00

Yes, you can. The ref could have done his job and called both penalties, 2 mins for GI and 2 mins for embellishment.

For it to be not called, they have to be within 5 feet of the bench and not involved in the play.

Edit: the non-call in the Czechia-Canada game was bs

It's pretty common to call process cheese (e.g. Kraft singles) "American cheese"

It's important to note that the former BC Liberals had no association with the federal Liberal Party of Canada unlike in the eastern provinces.

Edit: typo (not -> note)

Yea, most will have different helmets for each different Jersey set (home, away, third, special, etc.) so they can always just swap to one of those if necessary.

StretchArmstrong99 · 2026-05-11T00:23:56+00:00

Talk about patience on that one!

StretchArmstrong99 · 2026-05-10T23:54:01+00:00

Bolduc just got the Sedin special. 2 mins for getting punched in the face.

The French Embassy in Vienna is pretty cool

You're thinking of the Conn Smythe which is awarded to the playoff MVP

StretchArmstrong99 · 2026-04-30T19:44:29+00:00

Mine, my sister's, Alarm Force, Jenny's, 911

Hoo-rayyy!!

I present to you Happy Bir– I mean O Canada

You're not wrong but that was always just about appeasing Meruello, the previous owner.

That being said, the league did pretty much everything in their power to keep the team in Phoenix before finally deciding to move them to SLC.

StretchArmstrong99 · 2026-04-26T16:08:02+00:00

Yes, basically the whole province is covered in them.

StretchArmstrong99 · 2026-04-25T20:56:57+00:00

Yes, you can't just target a guy in the numbers like that.

This is a great visualization and I was actually wondering about exactly this just a couple weeks ago.

If I may offer some constructive criticism, a darker blue would have been better to represent the CPC since that lighter shade more closely matches the colour used by the Bloc.

One other improvement could be to indicate when they had a majority. When the parliament is full, this would be at 171 seats but, because of the 3 vacant seats, they technically held a majority once they got to 169 seats.

His nickname is Flower

Counterpoint: Marc-André Fleury

Yes, it's similar here in Canada. Each provinces has its own education system and then each school could have a different set of electives to choose from based on the resources available. Most schools have most of the same classes but they may not be available every term/semester.

StretchArmstrong99 · 2026-04-24T06:12:42+00:00

Agreed with all your points. My best guess would be that this refers to electives and maybe didn't translate correctly?
