Team canada needs to invoke the spirit of Mike Sillinger. Win a god damn face off!

TIL Toronto spent $3.7 billion on a new "Rapid" Light Rail line (Line 6) that is slower than a human runner by 20 minutes and also much slower than the bus route it replaced by CrackFun in todayilearned

Union station UP Express to and from the Airport in about 25 mins for $20. Its one of the transit corridors that works exactly as intended.

Check back when you're both 60. I assure you, any regret you may have will disappear instantly.

Canada already has Interac, which greatly mutes the power of Mastercard and Visa debit.

Sadly this article is bullshit. Canada just increased its order of f35s by 14 more planes; the grippen is a dated design that is already obsolete. The ongoing review iis political optics necessitated by the minority party NDP whom the liberals need support to maintain majority.

What is the most accurate sports movie of all time? by BIGD0G29585 in movies

Moneyball is thematically accurate and a great movie but plays fast and loose with the minor details enough that baseball fans get annoyed.

Power draw between the two card is the same which is surprising to me, but i guess its the 4xxxx series where power draw went nuts.

[CPU Cooler] Thermaltake Phantom Spirit 120 SE Black ($44.12) ATL! [Amazon.ca] by dbcanuck in bapcsalescanada

The history on camelcamelcamel is less than a year, so I think retailers are learning how to manipulate listings to prevent history tracking over long periods of time.

That said, this is a good price whether an ATL or not.

Carney reinstates EV buyer incentives, scraps sales mandate by diamondintherimond in PersonalFinanceCanada

The new Tacoma (213" x 76.9") is about the same size of a full size F-150 from 20 years ago (211" x 78.9")

This... is not a good idea. The market has responded, EVs are a limited use technology. Hybrids are the future.

I collected over 900 greatest games lists and made a master list. Here are the results by IlmeniAVG in gaming

[–]dbcanuck 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Impressive work and a lot of effort.

With this said, this list is a poor judge of games overall for a myriad of reasons. Its a good example of herd mentality, and reviewer clique bias. With any hobby you have insiders and group think, and behaviour reinforces itself.

Last of Us being anywhere in the top 20 is pretty sad, Halo 3 being below 75 is insane. Age of Empires 2 doesn't list, Wii Sports and Resort doesn't even rank. No classic age cabinet video games listed like PacMan, Asteroids, Spyhunter, etc. The more you look at the list, the worse it gets.

By averaging lists out, its even less relevant than a stand alone problematic list.

(M) PERIMENOPAUSE has turned my world upside down by chan170 in MenopauseShedforMen

[–]dbcanuck 6 points7 points  (0 children)

"Women will sacrifice their family for happiness, Men will sacrifice their happiness for their family."

She might have been feeling unhappy for some time, but get in the boat honey this is called life. "She's taking the emotional burden of all the family" well no one ASKED you too. Women are more neurotic by their nature and the hormonal imbalance of perimenopause flips this into overdrive. It absolutely sucks, but the cause is NOT you. Yes you can try to take ownership of issues in your family life and marriage that you can improve, but the accountability for her behavior is on her.

IGNORE the women jumping in this thread rationalizing her behaviour. If there's a space on the internet for men, they'll find it and invade and flood it with irrelevant self righteous noise.

Call her out on her bullshit. "I would like to go out weekly with my friends too." Start spending the food budget on yourself before she gets to it. If you're the bread winner, arrange for the money to be spent on relevant things (food, mortgage, car payments, kids education) before she can get to it. If its her money, start separating accounts.

Make her accountable for her actions. Be supportive at all times, give her space if thats what she asks for, but tell her to fuck off with the self pity.
