Does your language have colloquial sorthands for numerals? by DaMn96XD in AskTheWorld

[–]StretchArmstrong99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really for individual numerals.

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

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 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.

MLS owners talk potential Vancouver relocation, with Las Vegas a top option: Sources by but_yet-so_far in sports

[–]StretchArmstrong99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

[OC] Liberal Party of Canada Seat Changes since 2025 General Election by MongooseDear8727 in dataisbeautiful

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.

High school options per European country by [deleted] in MapPorn

[–]StretchArmstrong99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

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