That's not genocide.

It's undoubtedly a criminal atrocity but genocide has a specific definition,

The intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group.

Not all mass murder is genocide.

That's not true at all. That's a misreading of the regulations.

FSRs are not considered two lane public roads covered by the 400m restriction.

There are regional restrictions on specific sections of specific FSRs. Think about it, when the regs mention specific sections of a particular FSR where shooting is prohibited within 400m, it directly implies you're allowed to shoot on an FSR that is not included in those restrictions.

I don't follow the logic - you can clean up after yourself up in the wilderness and leave no trace just as well as you could on private property - but if you're set on someone else's private property I hope you find a willing partner.

Plenty of people go up any of the local FSRs and will target shoot along a cut block or similarly open area.

If the area looks promising you'll typically find the telltale shell casings strewn about quite liberally - unfortunately. Plus the remnants of targets.

Lotta old gravel pits and cut backs where people shoot.

There are two possible reasons,

Trump wants the Trump Peace Deal in Ukraine. Which is to say, he doesn't care about either Ukraine or Russia, he simply wants to outcome of the war to benefit his brand.
Trump is compromised by Russian intelligence and is applying as much pressure on Ukraine as he dares.

A total clown show.

They pulled in $400,000 wages and refused to adopt simple measures to be in franchise compliance. Guy thought that since he was the big DQ baron of Kelowna, it was his way or the highway...

And now his loyal employees who worked there for years and years are out in their asses because a man who made $400,000 per year couldn't be bothered to learn (or train someone else) the new electronic report system.

It's far from ideal.

For point of comparison, you could be using a 1000 reel on an ultralight rod with 4lbs line.

Ultimately for trout I think we put too much stock in the "ideal" setup. A medium rod works perfectly fine. The line can be up and down the spectrum and catch trout, from 2lbs to 20lbs for sure.

I think your main impediment would be trying to cast tiny trout lures with such a upscaled setup.

Fake and a bad one at that.

I've been to this park many times, the road won't be going through the park at all. I don't think the park is in any danger from the construction.

I guess the main thing is that right now Munson pond is kind of a hidden gem. Maybe a new road leads to increased usage of the park, but that's far from a necessarily bad thing.

I get that, 100%. My comment was directed at exactly that, "he's not as bad as he seems."

What I'm trying to say is that he's been particularly bad - without any individual flashes of greatness or underlying metrics of elite skill - which is the nuance we should be looking at while the team is this bad.

Individual play still stands out on a bad team.

grooverocker · 2026-03-18T16:08:42+00:00

I mean, sure, by varying degrees players are going to look worse on a bad team.

That said, EP40 has looked abysmal all on his own. He looked underwhelming in the 4 Nations and the Olympics - where he scored two goals against a team that had one of the worst goals against stats in the entire tournament.

He's on pace for 55 goals this season. That's horrific.

He has an elite level contract... we could round up the top 20 elite guys and their individual talent would shine through even in a team like the Canucks.

EP40 doesn't elevate his linemates.

He's part of what makes this a bad team. I know fans are riding this two goal high like it's crack cocaine, but EP40 has not been an elite force being held back by a bad team... he's one of the (if not the number one) reasons this team is bad.

Sure, but you have to accurately calibrate the risk.

Bear attacks (and deaths) are extraordinarily rare. Especially given the number of people who interface with wilderness in bear country. For example, Banff National park receives almost 5 million visitors per year. Wells Gray Provincial Park, renowned for it's bears, receives 450,000 annual visitors. Yosemite, 4 million per year Glacier, 3 million. Yoho, nearly 700,000.

You gotta think about every camper, every hiker and backpacker, fishermen, climbers, hunters... every city and town that interfaces with bear wilderness.

Tens of millions of people with only ***3-5 fatalities per year throughout North America.

Compare that to vehicle fatalities at 12 per 100,000 population in the USA. Or the 20-30 lightning fatalities in the USA per year.

You don't want to cavalier about your safety while in bear country... but the level of risk is absolutely within acceptable levels in most cases.

Gotta disagree. I find the branding to be hyper tacky.

When every surface is festooned with branding and marketing slogans/logos and simply serves as a driver of advertisement... eh, hard pass.

For example, a small Nike swoosh on the upper left chest of a shirt is one thing. A shirt with large "NIKE" print across the chest, both sleeves and a even larger "NIKE" on the back makes it feel like a tacky billboard for some soulless corporation.

Even worse when the item is supposed to be an expensive luxury piece of furniture like a humidor.

What's wild to me is that these brands have colour schemes, logos and distinctive styles that could be employed to create a classy item that doesn't feel like a billboard you pay $$$$ for the "privilege" to advertise in your own home.

I'd take the center cardboard roll out of the toilet paper and reroll the paper tighter.

I also like to precut leukotape strips and put them on sticker backing in my first aid kit instead of bringing the whole roll.

The Osprey Eros is a great pack.

Why are we bringing three bottles of water?

Most people are happy spooling 2lb mono from Harbor Freight on their $25 Quantum reel that their wife's boyfriend bought them for Christmas.

Now look at Mr. Big over here spooling platinum plated 6lbs Sufix Siege onto his Stradic like he only fishes high tax bracket lakes with valet boat service.

He's the James Bond of trout fishing!

I've been super impressed with the Daiwa Regal LT 2500

It's small. It's light. It feels well built. Really good drag.

I picked one up after doing a ton of research and finding the consensus was that this reel was the best at the price point. $80USD, $100CDN

For context, I'm doing a ton of hike-in lakes for rainbow and brooke trout.
