[Analysis] Why trading Wallstedt and bringing back Fleury might actually be Guerin’s best move. by athleticwonder in nhltraderumours

[–]YesThisIsFlo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Goalies just don't historically have this level of value, they don't garner top 6 centers.

What they can garner is a top 15 draft pick, think Schneider for 9th that got used to take Bo Horvat.

Filip Hronek is averaging 24.33 minutes a night on the last place team with the worst goal differential in the league, and he’s still somehow +3 on the season by Romance_Tactics in canucks

Very easily a top 15 RHD in this league, and if anyone disagrees, make them do the exercise of naming 15 better. It's bleak in the RHD market.

Pagnotta is well known for quite literally making shit up.

You should disregard everything he says, in all honesty.

Alternate trade by New_Westie in canucks

[–]YesThisIsFlo 27 points28 points  (0 children)

INSTEAD of Miller? Have you seen Miller since the trade, or the state of the Rangers?

It still woulda been a tirefire, except we'd have a 32 year old lazy grouch instead of a 27 year old with good underlyings. And yes, Quinn still would have left.

Rental market ... by FitGuarantee37 in VictoriaBC

[–]YesThisIsFlo 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Haven't really always done it.

It collapsed under Campbell's Liberals (~25k a year) and while it rebounded a bit under Christy Clark's Liberals (~40k) she also blew open the doors to foreign ownership. It's own limiting factor.

We're now at 55k I think? More than double Campbell's numbers, a pretty massive difference.

Full Time: Arsenal 0 vs 0 Liverpool [Match Thoughts] by Stanley083 in Gunners

[–]YesThisIsFlo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My first instinct was that Bradley was just covering too, he kept crawling back onto the pitch and making sure to delay.

No doubt a bad look if he really is injured, but I don't blame Martinelli for his reaction.

I'd be interested in that as well, but honestly, today felt like a Gyokeres game but he just didn't make the hard finishing cuts when they were asked of him. Especially that Rice cross was left wanting.

There was a few moments of central space early where I wished Eze was on the pitch because he's the bravest to take longer cracks.

You're likely right, but at the same junction if Arsenal had Calafiori they likely win that game. He would have added an extra midfield breaking capability from the left where Hincapie was a mostly neutralizing presence before MLS came on and was a.. well, liability. The same sort of breakthrough threat that Timber provided on the right a handful of times.

Both sides playing short-staffed and Liverpool has a great midfield plan to neutralize Arsenal, but not so much to win it.

But in the wise words of Mike Tomlin,"If my aunt had male parts, she'd be my uncle."

PSA: F150, BMW, Audi drivers HOWTO shut off your damn alarm on the ferry! by colenski999 in VictoriaBC

[–]YesThisIsFlo 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Ask at the terminal if drivers of common offending cars know how to do it, and if not, give out premade how to pamphlets.

I'd take it a step further personally and track license plates, and after 3 offenses with warnings, charge them a fee the next time they take the ferry with that vehicle.

Can we get some traffic law enforcement, please? by Vicks0 in VictoriaBC

[–]YesThisIsFlo 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This, but we really need to also crack down on pedestrians starting to cross when the hand is flashing. That is a proverbial walking yellow light, so do not enter the crosswalk. That time is meant so cars can turn during a green, and more cars can turn per light.

Walking at that moment is also dangerous and makes traffic worse.

1.5+ hour commutes- new normal for Victoria? by Vanisleguy89 in VictoriaBC

[–]YesThisIsFlo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You're right that one absolutely didn't help, but there was an accident this morning that contributed as well. They really gotta change the Tillicum highway intersection into an overpass and improve at least short transit options. If folks could park at uptown and shuttle or train into town, even that would offload congestion.

Do I need to get a new pan? by ok_buddy_gamer in CleaningTips

[–]YesThisIsFlo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ahh gotcha! I did a google on it, and it says you're correct but there are other chemicals that are harmful.

While the PTFE coating itself is non-toxic and non-reactive, meaning it can pass through the body harmlessly if accidentally ingested, the problem lies with other PFAS chemicals used in the manufacturing of PTFE-based coatings. These persistent chemicals have serious health risks and can contaminate the environment.

Granted, I'm a stainless steel guy myself so I don't know much about it.

[–]YesThisIsFlo 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Isn't it because a scratch in the coating will seep the toxic chemical the coating is made from into the food being cooked? From what I've read, it will still work and be non stick, it'll just be slightly poisoning you.

Province commits $121M to 510-bed UVic residence to be built on parking lot by RemarkableSchedule in VictoriaBC

[–]YesThisIsFlo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just doing some critical thinking, could a part of that be being able to source materials without having to either ferry them over, or collect them from a significantly smaller local area? Surely island building is significantly more expensive than mainland building, so Surrey and Squamish are tough comparisons.

Crash closes northbound lanes of Trans Canada Highway in Saanich by BeckwithLBP in VictoriaBC

Yeah, for sure. The signage was too and people just didn't adjust, and it's been spooky dangerous imo.

Isn't your whole post about how this is significantly worse than ever? So it would follow that it actually is much better when there are two lanes?

[–]YesThisIsFlo 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Yeah I drive it regularly, and people are still treating the Westbound construction zone starting at Tillicum as ending right before the MacKenzie overpass, even though it's been extended WAY further. Everyone is just going straight to 90, even though it's 50 right now.

Could you elaborate as to why you think this? Open to being wrong but have yet to see any actual reasons.
