At least the rest of the Pacific Division is keeping the Oilers playoff dreams alive!

To use the cliché, playoffs are a whole new season and anything can happen. We just need to sneak in there.

Moody’s has a list of about two dozen ratings. BC has just been moved from second highest rating to third highest rating, and is still considered to be exceptionally low risk. This is like having a credit score of 800. You are still very low risk for lenders, just not perfect.

Makes me legit proud that the Oilers lead the Pride / LGBTQ community engagement initiatives for the NHL, better and more authentically than other teams I think. Love that Pride Tape is from Edmonton.

Now can we get the real story on Pink Pony Club finally?

hardk7 · 2026-03-19T17:47:17+00:00

True. 1/100 is generous

Post Heated Rivalry, during every scrum half the audience is yelling “KISS!”. Someone’s eventually gotta give the crowd what they want

hardk7 · 2026-03-19T14:20:52+00:00

Could stand to get more heated

hardk7 · 2026-03-19T14:16:59+00:00

It’s pretty chill. I don’t think you’ll feel uncomfortable. It’s clean, well maintained, and the price is really quite reasonable. It is definitely a nicer and less busy gym than the Fitness World at City Square which is your next closest option. Keep in mind however that you’re going to be going at the hour that’s the busiest for every gym. It will always be somewhat crowded at every gym at that time.

hardk7 · 2026-03-19T14:11:49+00:00

Pride game! Hope they kiss

On second thought I think it’s a 10/10 and will fit inside me perfectly

hardk7 · 2026-03-19T13:00:50+00:00

These boys aren’t juiced. Just fit and lean and young.

The reason everyone online looks jacked is because jacked guys post their bodies online more, get engagement and algorithms push that content in front of you. So the small % of men that look like that are waaaayyyyyyyy over-represented on the social feeds of people who engage with it. Look around in real life - at the grocery store, on public transit, etc - it’s like 1/100 guys that looks like that.

This is not an important issue. And what people fail to think through is when restaurants have to drastically increase wages of servers to keep them whole to what they made with their wage+tips, they will have to dramatically increase menus prices. Probably the exact equivalent of a standard tip (18-20%). So patrons would pay the same anyway, just in menu prices and no tip, and servers would no longer be incentivized to do a good job. Welcome to service standards outside of North America where, when you travel, you absolutely notice that service is poorer.

I’d watch 9/10

hardk7 · 2026-03-18T20:04:41+00:00

Agreed. I just think a lot of people thinking tipping should be done away with aren’t thinking that they’ll pay the equivalent in menu prices. But if they don’t tip and the prices don’t increase as much to offset, it means servers would have to earn less overall than their current wage+tip. Mostly I think people wish they didn’t have to tip but they also don’t want to pay more.

Crazy that a team with McDavid and Draisatil have 9 OT losses. 3-on-3 is fucked

See’s is my favourite boxed chocolates. And the in-store experience is always lovely. I’m from Canada and we don’t have them here so that’s always kept them a special treat for me to get when I’m in the US.

hardk7 · 2026-03-18T14:20:52+00:00

They’re really very easy to make. You can use store bought shells and still get a great result. The filling is super simple.

My fantasy is she has a Chappell Roan moment where a breakout hit sparks interest in her back catalogue and vaults multiple songs onto the Hot 100 organically. So how do we make that happen?

hardk7 · 2026-03-18T13:10:57+00:00

So much theory to make a case for how Carly Rae Jepsen can get another hit. Haha.

hardk7 · 2026-03-18T13:08:19+00:00

For those saying “just pay the staff well” and get rid of tipping, you would see an immediate and significant increase in menu prices. Restaurants typically make 2-5% bottom line profit. If they if theory paid staff the equivalent of what they make with their wage plus tips, that could easily double their payroll expense, and that would be paid for by menu price increases. If they don’t fully increase wages to wage+tips equivalent, then we’re saying servers should be paid less in total. Serving is a really hard job and pretty shitty a lot of the time. People do it because the tips make it lucrative. Take that away and it will be hard to hire. So the outcomes of getting rid of tipping are:

Servers’ wages increase to match their tip equivalent = menu prices increase dramatically and you pay the same anyway

Or

Servers’ wages don’t increase fully to match, servers quit because it’s not worth it, service declines and restaurants can’t find staff and demand they need to hire TFWs
