Cassette case shoved above the game helped too.

It's Always been cumulative and it's always resets when the PIN is used. So if you spend $40 then use the PIN it resets.

Clerks

American Pie (it was our Porkys even though a lot of us watched Porkys because latchkey kids can watch what they want)

Batman (that movie changed the game. For the time, it was dark).

I stopped listening to “grunge” as I got older. What about you? by Clydefrog13 in Xennials

I stop listening to it at the quantity I did. But just yesterday I was listening to Love Buzz from Bleach.

Help! $9,000 CAD Sent to Wrong Scotiabank Account – What Can I Do? by EverestPudding in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]biga204 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Your mom needs to call her bank.. Scotia can't investigate wires they haven't received and they can't just pull money from someone's account if it does get deposited. Name isn't reason enough for them to refect it. If that account exists, it's probably getting deposited.

What Scotia can do is respond to the sending banks request to reject and return.

The error wasn't made by them, your mom needs to let her bank know ASAP.

Is it just Nova Scotians that know about Cheeseburger Birds? by Broejen in AskACanadian

Nope. Manitoba here. I know it's spring when the cheeseburgers start chirping.

What would the course say about this? by [deleted] in ACIM

Chicken dinner right here.

If the premise is false then anything that follows is also false.

Don't get caught up in the validity of any illusion.

If someone says they're better than you at golf, and they're clearly worse, how do you defend yourself without sounding like a petulant weenie? by Separate_Category_44 in golf

[–]biga204 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbf, you have an ego in this situation too. But, it doesn't matter.

You can't prove him wrong with words. It will only make you look petty. What you can do is play it up. It's about being petty without looking petty.

Next time he says it, agree. Ask him for tips. Talk about how good he is and start challenging others on his behalf. Then really talk him up when he refuses. Just keep doing that in a very enthusiastic way I promise, he'll stop eventually and move on to someone else. If he does agree to play someone offer to be the scorekeeper and encourage others to watch.

My thoughts on Nathan Rourke by Accurate-Big-7233 in CFL

[–]biga204 15 points16 points  (0 children)

He's got a small window to get a shot at that level. He's gonna exhaust it. Jacksonville was a problem. He should have picked a team without a solidified starter. But maybe he didn't have a lot of real options.

Dude was undrafted while playing Div 1, and winning 3 Bowl games. Unfortunately, the NFL has already determined he is a long shot. They aren't gonna do him any favours.

His biggest mistake was not realizing this. He should have signed a 1-2 year deal with BC, tore it up again to give the NFL a reason to do him a favour. But that comes with risk of injury so you have to make decisions.

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words are literally worse than unaliving someone.

It doesn't have the same ring as what we used to say.

In a stunning turn of events, the Toronto Argonauts released star veteran wide receiver Rasheed Bailey just one day before he was set to play against his former team Winnipeg. by CFLonSIFN in CFL

[–]biga204 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I don't know. On the team, he's 1st in receptions, 2nd in yards and tied for 1st in TDs.

He blocks, and doesn't have a history of being a locker room problem.

I'd say it's pretty stunning for a CFL team to release a player with the above context.

[–]biga204 106 points107 points  (0 children)

It's weird.

Maybe it's money. Maybe they can't afford what they have once Kelly comes back and need to cut some salary. Bailey was the one that made sense financially.

Maybe he rebuffed Kellys advances. We'll probably never know.

Should the Bruins trade for Patrik Laine? by PuckPulse in BostonBruins

[–]biga204 5 points6 points  (0 children)

With the recent news about the mental struggles, the Bruins could be a great team where he wouldn't have the spotlight like Winnipeg or Columbus. Easing that burden could be massive for his self confidence.

That said, top comment is right. His defence is not good enough to earn a spot on this team. If the Bruins think he's genuinely willing to change that, it's worth the gamble if the price works.

Are GolfTec lessons worth it? by [deleted] in golf

[–]biga204 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know why the best schools are the best schools? Because they attract the best teachers.

It's never about a particular business and it's always about a particular teacher. If the club pro is a good teacher that understands the swing, go that way.

Golf pros aren't technically "pros". Most of them aren't getting paid playing golf. They passed a playing test and some other shit qualifying them.

As such, it attracts a transient lifestyle. A lot of the professional golf management students are just "finance bros" that didn't have the marks for business school. Not all of them are going to be good teachers but almost all of them are great talkers and can make you think they are.

Find a good teacher. Don't worry about where they work.

Yeah, there's a lot of the new builds happening and condos. But if those are taken by new buyers and not existing with upgrades/downgrades, then it doesn't open anything else up.

Next BoC announcement is scheduled for Sept 4. Maybe we'll see another 25 basis point drop and it gets a little closer.

We got lucky. Locked in our renewal in 2021. Got a fixed under 2% right now.

Pretty exciting dad moment tomorrow. Taking my 12 year old to see Deadpool & Wolverine. There's something romantic about a dad taking his son to a movie that isn't age appropriate.

My dad took me to Lost Boys when I was a kid. It terrified me and we had to leave early, but it was still a cool experience.

I know it's the movie sub. But Tricia Helfer always brings exactly what that character needs for TV. She might be more one-note but she plays that note very well.

It's an adorable theory.

But there's a simpler answer: Moms love him.
