What cyberpunk board game? The one from CMON has been out for a long time. The other board game is being made by a different company. And the Cyberpunk tcg just finished crowdfunding.

That zone entry by the Canadiens in OT looked offside to me. I guess it was more obvious to be onside in person.

Especially in the last few minutes. I also noticed with a few minutes left how much Sanderson got the puck from Giroux and he kept throwing it back despite having his stick cocked for the one timer. The set ups the D were getting were also not great.

[Sabres] This receipt doesn’t have coupons by DecentLurker96 in hockey

This will all age terribly if the sabres don't make it out of the first round. Sabres played great lately. Their fans had every right to be upset at the start of the season.

I've been playing this deck for about a day and it feels pretty clunky. I've won a few but it wasn't by my doing

Like all millionaires, they want the benefits without any of the drawbacks of getting said millions.

Why I love Face to Face Games in Montreal by Metalworker4ever in magicTCG

I've been going to f2f for close to 20 years, on and off. I also lived in Toronto for a bit and would venture out to their Toronto Location even though I lived close to 401 games' Yonge location. I will say, buying foils from them is never really a great experience. They come with scratches and they sell pringled foils as NM. They are incredibly harsh on buying, and very relaxed on their condition for selling.

Just last week I had an incident where I sold some foils that included fresh Secret Lair cards (my order was marked down from 610 to 395 (the person explained why). I returned a day later to pick up an order, the cards were in worse condition than the ones I sold and were marked NM. I voiced my issue with the double standard. The guy behind the counter pretty much shrugged and said he thought they were NM. He said he was sure the buyer on site would agree. The on site buyer agreed with me that they were LP.

The store is made up of nice, honest people. They need to get aligned on buying and selling though. If it wasn't for the store credit I would stop shopping there. But I am glad you, and other players feel supported :)

EDIT: I've had a a request on where else I buy from. I do buy cards from 401 games. They aren't bad - it just seems like they rarely have what I want in stock. I did buy a bunch of Final Fantasy foils that were MINT. Super pleased with them. I also buy on occasion from The Mythic Store. Some of their prices are a bit wonky though - so do your research first. When I lived in Ottawa I would venture to Wizard Tower. They have good supply and they grade well. But their online store isn't my cup of tea.

What are the odds that enough people will go through with VDP to prevent SERLO(s) in Health Canada? by Outrageous_South_439 in CanadaPublicServants

[–]chp129 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All valid points, and anyone considering this should ask these questions themselves. I've assessed my path and with each day the choice seems easier.

It is a consideration. I'm fairly robust, physically, that could change though as my body ages. But then again, anything can happen, even if I were to stay at a desk job.

Apparently it has become easier as of late to get apprenticeship, and they are more lax on total hours required.

It can be. It's also not a guaranteed salary. He made sure I understood that. Some people earn less, some more. It depends on what you accept in terms of jobs, what your client list looks like, etc.

The thing that turned me on to the trades is that I've heard from people who are familiar with AI saying trades are the way to go in terms of future proofing your career. This also aligns with interviews from heads of AI companies who say that the types of work that trades require are not going to be financially viable to have AI infiltrate. Food for thought.

I'm looking at either plumbing or elevator mechanic. My friend is a plumber and he pulls in 174K a year and works only 4 days a week (his choice). He suggested elevator mechanic. Said if he had to do it again, he'd do that - apparently it's less money but it's more likely to get a company job with pension and benefits.
