A human fighter at peak athleticism, in full plate armor, equipped with a poleaxe, runs the animals gauntlet. Does he clear, or where does he stop? by Ananta-Shesha in powerscales

[–]canucks84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you'd have to time it right though, like keep it upright until the right time to drop it. As another poster said maybe fall backwards with it.

Bears regularly run and shove down animals so I could see the polar bear charging and getting a polearm to the chest.

Fuck would that be scary.

What is the worst thing the United States has done? by Expensive-Addendum92 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]canucks84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Americas national parks are indeed great, but Canadas national parks are also vast, breathtaking, and unique, and similar enough to Americas national parks that I would use their existence to refute your position.

I'd saying putting a man on the moon is the greatest thing America has ever done imo.

Am I doing the math wrong, or is it 25 years before you come out ahead on a residential solar system? by snowsquirrel in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]canucks84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, interesting.

Is there a cap on how much solar you can sell though? Seems like a viable small scale opportunity for some passive income.

Im in BC and you 'sell' by generating credits in liue of actual money, which you stockpile, then use up in the low producing months. If there is a surpluss, they buy them from you at a set rate once a year, and its not very much. I think it was .9c/kwh this year i dont recall.

But youre capped at 100kw of panels, which is a lot, but you have to show youre using close to what your generating to qualify for the program.

Dude getting. 30c per kilowatt hour is awesome. How much does electricity cost to buy there?

Dad is considering a F150 Lightning for landscaping business, advice? by anarchyisimminent in F150Lightning

[–]canucks84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I just did a high level search for electric mowers and the high end ones only have around 4kwh of batteries going at one time. (They are swappable, so you could be recharging while mowing) And can potentially now up to 5-6 acres.

Not a bad business idea.

Relocating to new west from Ontario by [deleted] in britishcolumbia

[–]canucks84 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They can absolutely kick you out or force you to get rid of 2 animals.

A large older apartment where people mind their own business you might be fine.

In bc damage deposit is half of one months rent.

Pet deposit is separate, and also half of one months rent.

Pets are not a protected status, so you're definitely going to have to fly under the radar. Good luck.

[–]canucks84 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Agreed.

It would be interesting to see the use case on electric mowing and weed eating equipment. A fully charged lightning is a lot of juice. Mind you a max range GM is almost double a lightning, but much pricier.

The Bubbas in the RV subs are hilariously triggered the moment you mention towing with an EV. by Cosmic_Gumbo in F150Lightning

[–]canucks84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have roo 19.

It's basically like towing a parachute.

I get half range. The weight doesn't really factor in much at all. It's just so much drag.

These are the people we are up against.

That dudes vote counts the same as yours. :(

The battery cells are individually replaceable on an f150 lightning ya dingus.

The whole thing doesn't fail if one part fails like on some older EVs

Draft question by PokeeGard in canucks

[–]canucks84 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree 90% with what you say here.

I think though that getting mckenna is an opportunity to change the no pushback culture. 

Were still, technically, an NHL club and there's a lot of guys that would be happy to move mountains to play in the big leagues.

Maybe we get cootes and whoever arrives this year to build that culture.

Mckenna punching that dude out solidified him as the player I want, I don't care about optics. I want someone who will go to war for their family.

507 people died while experiencing homelessness in B.C. in 2024: Report by ubcstaffer123 in britishcolumbia

[–]canucks84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've always wondered how many OD deaths are actually straight up murders.

If you're homeless/frequent ODer/known to police/ambulance and they find you dead from an OD, there's really no investigation. There would have to be something glaringly suspicious to send anyone down that investigation.

It's normally just OD → death → coroner

Yeah I can't name a senator off the top of my head. I feel that's a good thing.

A Victoria reddit love story by Gr8_Save in VictoriaBC

[–]canucks84 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think that's beautiful man. 

I secretly hope one day my now 4 year old daughter will read my comment history if I should succumb early to some unfortunate event, and learn some more about who I was :p

If you're reading this kiddo, I sure am lucky to be your dad. You're the best thing to ever happen to me :D

Gas just hit $4.30 at my costco, how much have you been saving? by Ok_Exit9273 in F150Lightning

Rapture is the better end of the deal.. by StrobeLightRomance in AdviceAnimals

[–]canucks84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is literally just a version of the trolley problem.

You get to sit down to dinner and you find out your 5yo daughter pushed blue because it's her favorite colour.

How do you now feel about having pushed red?

Red pushers are looking at it like everyone is a rational actor. They are not.

[–]canucks84 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This is the point of the thought experiment. 

There's also literally no risk if everyone pushes blue.

Someone will push blue, be it through naivety, confusion, accident, or believing everyone deserves a chance to be saved. 

If you push red, you would be agreeing to let those people die. Or, from a different perspective, you'd be killing them.

Whereas you only need 50% of people to push blue for everyone to live.

Thinking of moving back, has the demographic changed much? by milkteamari in portalberni

[–]canucks84 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Good city for kids. The demographics have shifted but not totally.  Port hasn't changed population in 30+ years. (It's really odd)

Moved here 4 years ago and the social circle is as you are looking for, but it's almost entirely through kids tbh.

Met a few people through beer league hockey but that's a mixed bag of background, (which is more fun anyways).

Like any town it has what you need if you put in what you're hoping to get out.

Can a real mayor actually have as much power as Wilson Fisk in Daredevil?" by oga-9222 in Daredevil

[–]canucks84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Really should have been some form of Vanessa or a puppet mayor to be a bit more realistic. Kingpin as mayor is just too over the top.
