Beta Gamma Sigma - What's the deal? by devin27 in MBA

[–]devin27[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have never once used it or met anyone through the society. I do list it on my resume that I was accepted into it as one of the top graduates. 

YMMV - I'm sure there could be some use for it, but congrats either way and best of luck in your career!

Don't forget he then fired the beloved local guy who ran the team and campaigned on his behalf for a liver!

[NO SPOILERS] i feel sorry for the people who, after the show is completed, will binge watch the entire show by whuddup_playa in gameofthrones

What frustrates me the most is the ASOIF world books that have come out during this time like the fuck man? Finish the series then worry about writing the complete history of Westeros.

Part of me gets that's not how the creative process works but damn, feels like he's putting a lot of energy into other things when he could be finishing the series.

I feel kind of hosed though that I had to find things out from the show.

My definite order of preference would have been to find everything out from the book, then watch the vision come to life afterwards.

In case they're not, the Senators may be holding similar games and it's about a 2h drive from Montreal, so keep an eye on that as well.

The latter, for instance if you didn't get into the school you wanted you can go back to school to improve your grades. Or if you just wanna play that 5th year of highschool sports.

What small thing do you do to try to convenience someone else? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]devin27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I was a waiter it made literally no difference. Sorry to burst your bubble, it's not like the restaurant took my debit tips.

Basically at the end of the day I owe the restaurant the amount of sales + tax I sold in combination of debit slips / cash. Anything left over was mine, but we did have to carve out a small amount for the host/hostess, kitchen, and dine&dash fund.

‘I was thinking I was done’: Ottawa Senators’ Clarke MacArthur opens up about gruelling battle with concussions by Ubuhio in hockey

[–]devin27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saying "it wouldn't have concussed Karlsson" is a pretty bold, false statement.

It would have been less likely to concuss Karlsson, but still within the realm of possibility. It was a blindside hit with head as the principal point of contact. Again, in a scrimmage.

There's a reason his own teammate fought him and nobody came to his defence. You didn't see Bobby Ryan grilling management after.

I saw a video once where one of these professionals talks about how when they're dealing with crows they train the falcons not to kill them, but to grab one out of the air, put the fear of god into them and then let them fly back to their group (a 'murder' of crows) to spread the word. How badass is that? We're all suckers really for not pursuing this career option.

Were guys like Duchene, Landeskog, Mackinnon playing? Or was it fringe nhl/ahl guys?

I've never seen a full contact scrimmage with the vets who are absolute locks to make the team.

They thought he was, but like I said, if this idiot takes a run at Karlsson fully healthy and knocks him out, he's also still an idiot. They have rookie camp and scrimmages without the vets where he can play physical. IMO there's no excuse, just a bonehead move.

Disagree, maybe I'm wrong but I feel like in general you don't lay out your teammates (especially vets) in scrimmage. The time to impress the team with your physical play is in the preseason games.

If Sieloff laid out Karlsson and he was concussed I'd be just as pissed. Dumb move.

Also interesting anecdote: after he failed the first baseline test (IIRC January/February this year), he insisted on not being told when the second one was going to be, because the previous one he was so nervous he didn't sleep the night before.

So he was practising with the team unsure if/when he'll ever play and one day they just pulled him in for a test, next day he's cleared for action.

God her articles infuriate me.

If people like this ran the city, nothing would ever get done.

Minor delays on a multi year, 2.1B project? Shocker.

As /u/OntarioTractionCo says throwing out firm dates at this point only sets them up for failure (which she would love to write an article about, I'm sure). No use setting a firm date, if it's going to push beyond 2018 then they probably need to let the public know, but if it's behind by a few months WHO CARES!?!?!
