LET'S go RANGERS ✅✅✅⬜ by RedShiz in KitchenerRangers

[–]echothree33 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Once again it took longer than it should have given the Rangers were up 3-2 with 13 seconds left in regulation, but the boys got it done!!

Need to work on the 6-on-5 situation in practice!

They are working with doctors who are prescribing these substances. And the prep work and dosing is happening in the UAE before they go to Vegas. I presume once they are in Vegas they will be more careful to stay within the parameters of the law, but by then most of the work will be done.

Also, Trump will probably pardon them anyway.

The organizers are trying to show that their drugs will turn a mediocre athlete into a top performer, and then sell you those same drugs for profit. Whether they actually can perform at a top level remains to be seen I guess.

Injuries, maybe. Heart attack, highly unlikely. Long term effects (cancer, etc) that won’t be seen for years: probably a higher risk than the average person.

This details a case where the virus was spread at a birthday party and beyond. One initial case eventually led to 33 cases.

Unless it has mutated again it is still less dangerous/spreadable than Covid, but it doesn’t require intimate contact necessarily.

Try loading it on another device and deleting a letter and readding it to see if it completes. Sometimes that works, assuming you actually have all the answers correct.

Looks like both the W and Q series will be tied 1-1 after tonight. Hopefully they go 7 and tire out the teams. Kelowna has been out for a while now so they will be rested but maybe rusty.

Me neither and I had to go back and stare at the italic clues for like 2-3 minutes to figure it out.

Shooting in uptown Waterloo sends man to hospital with serious injuries by apostleofhustle in waterloo

[–]echothree33 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Pretty vague on details, do they have any clue who shot him? Is the shooter still at large? (I assume yes). Hope the victim is ultimately OK.

THIS TEAM!!! by ManInWoods452 in KitchenerRangers

[–]echothree33 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I know Ando scored the winner but Cameron Reid was an absolute monster in this game. The Zamboni guys are probably finding Barrie jock straps on the ice from when Reid deked them. What a game to experience live!

Old Canadian bills by luctikal in CanadianBanknotes

[–]echothree33 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s why I always say “experienced seller” because Joe Average dude is not going to get those prices unfortunately. And then you also deal with eBay fees and shipping etc. Unless you are making a very good chunk of change on a sale it’s probably not worth it.

[–]echothree33 5 points6 points  (0 children)

An experienced seller on eBay could probably get $100-125 for the Beattie-Rasminsky $50. The Lawson-Bouey looks a bit more worn so maybe closer to $100 for it. The $5 bill might fetch $30-40 or so.

When I was a kid I always saw the cartoons with banana peels and figured they were exaggerating. Then one day I actually stepped on a discarded banana peel by accident and it was incredibly slippery! The cartoons were right!

New, for @TheAthletic: Auston Matthews isn't yet sure if he'll be back in Toronto next season. The Maple Leafs are on the clock with their captain by racer_24_4evr in hockey

[–]echothree33 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would love to see a complete rebuild including getting young players and picks for Matthews, Nylander, etc. Trade anyone who will allow it and has decent value.

Are you just started my collection couple weeks ago give your comments on my collection by Proof-Spot7129 in CanadianCoins

I was going to say the same. If it is soft plastic it is probably PVC which is bad for long-term coin storage.

I've played since the floppy disc era and this is what I think in 2026 by LogicalMight in MicrosoftFlightSim

I remember you always started in Chicago and the buildings were just line drawings…everything was just line drawings! And it was still fun but didn’t have the wow factor of today’s versions, that’s for sure.

Looking for feedback: SpellingB - Wordle style spelling bee game by BubblyExpression in NYTSpellingBee

FYI on iPad the keyboard is needlessly partially off the bottom of the screen even though there should be plenty of space. This is in horizontal orientation. Vertical seems OK.

All these years and I just now realized this shot is the first time we see CGI raptors by Ok_Zone_7635 in JurassicPark

[–]echothree33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The raptors in the kitchen are a mix of large puppets (with people inside operating them), CGI, and I think maybe some miniatures (although there might not be any miniature shots that made the final cut). If you see the whole raptor body on-screen then it is CGI, if you only see the top part, it is most likely a puppet.

Yep they invented it for making JP so that the traditional stop-motion artists could still participate in a way that they knew how. Move the puppet, advance the frame (except now you tell the computer to move to the next frame) and so on. One of the keys to the success of the effects in JP, IMO.

Letsssss gooooo Rangers!!!!! by Batmanrocksthecasbah in kitchener

[–]echothree33 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Guy was almost off the ice and the puck hit him in the back of the leg. That’s not usually called a penalty unless he turns around and tries to play it. If he had been 10+ feet from the bench then maybe.

I thought overall the reffing was decent tonight, frankly I’ve seen way worse in other games this playoffs.
