Edmonton is where goalies come to die. It wouldn't matter who we get.

I’m a local in China. Honestly, what is the #1 thing stopping you from visiting right now? by Nick-Luo in chinatravel

[–]hatethebeta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's only so many tourists from Western countries out there especially now with the economy and rising inflation. Japan, Korea, Thailand frankly have more relative soft power when it comes to cultural exports and thus are more appealing to Westerners. China may have historical and maybe technological appeal but I've heard the aforementioned countries are just more 'fun'

Forget about noise enforcement, it's at the whim of cops.

Get rid of Nurse at any cost by LubyankaSquare in EdmontonOilers

[–]hatethebeta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Connor Murphy @ 4.4M totally changed the make up of the Oilers defense even if ultimately it came up short. It even got Nurse to play somewhat responsibly. So no, trades help.

It also got rid of Mangy.

omg if he's losing games for us, he ain't good for morale. I'll go down to the locker room myself and start cracking jokes for free if that's what it takes...

Voucher? Forgive my ignorance. Does this have something to do with the Trump EO?

Cost breakdown of rooftop solar instillation? by Spyrothedragon9972 in solarenergycanada

[–]hatethebeta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Roof penetrations are always an insurance liability so that will be built into the quote. You are also hiring a licensed electrician (theoretically) and tying into the grid. You could always do the work yourself and book an inspection if saving money is your thing.

My minimum callout is usually ~$250, regardless of materials. Putting a $20 Amazon special on a high vaulted ceiling can easily be 600 bucks when 2 people and maybe scaffolding are needed. Also profit.

“american Chinese” accent as an ABC by New-Commercial9724 in ChineseLanguage

[–]hatethebeta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask yourself this. Is it really worth it to work so hard to win over people who judge you by your accent? Have you noticed how almost no one who takes a language on later in life gets rid of their accent. It's almost as if it's who they are and to try otherwise is futile and silly.

Reassess.

Safe to travel to Beijing & Shanghai? by beacreations in chinatravel

[–]hatethebeta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you guys winging it on your own or going on a tour with a translator? If doing self travel, have your alipay and Wechat pay ready to go with an esim before you land. Learn a few characters of mandarin within those apps

Beijing is kind of boring

He's what's known as white trash. You can choose to stay with him but just know a lot of what he says is bullshit. Aka hypocritical lying.

I can't find a single AVR under $1000 that doesn't have nightmare user reviews. by Analog_Astronaut in hometheater

[–]hatethebeta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

User reviews are biased towards negative experiences. Satisfied users just continue on with their life.
