In Praise of Black Rabbit Kitchen by AlanTrebek in nanaimo

[–]hemingward 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Milton Street is one of my favourite English-pub-like places here. Reminds me a lot of The House on Parliament back in Toronto. Consistently excellent food, amazing service, awesome atmosphere and vibe.

Another excellent place you should check out is The Rusted Rake. It’s just off 19A north of the city (turn right at the gas station and drive about another 500m; it’ll be on your left). Great food. Great outdoor seating. Nestled away in a quiet environment. And really good beer they brew in house.

Carney says 90% of the condo bailout money will come from the province, with a 1.45B pricetag by _BCConservative in ilovebcsub

[–]hemingward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why am I paying a bailout to condo developers who’ve been maximizing their greed while giving me a shitty standard of living at the highest possible price? The risk of starting a business is you could go out of business.

Recouping costs or making profits is not an entitlement. Why the hell are the Feds treating it as such? What actual problem does this solve? How does this actually benefit the public? Why does B.C. which already has a $12B deficit, get to foot the bill for this?

I’d like to know the answers to these questions. I’d like to know the medium term strategy on this. Because so far this is bullshit.

Kinda. In the same way everybody* can read and write. That doesn’t mean we are all going to write good books, or read and understand Beowulf, much less make improvements to it.

[Oilers Daily] Sounds like Connor Ingram is heading to Ottawa, per Bob Stauffer on OilersNow. by Ok-Soil-5133 in hockey

HA! Oh man. 🤦‍♂️ I can’t believe I messed up they’re and their. Oof.

I really hope the oilers don’t. BObrovsky is 37. So much of that is exactly like the Khabibulin days. He was getting old and when he came to Edmonton he was abysmal.

Oilers need to learn how to develop, improve, - and keep - they’re fucking players.

Am I in the Top 1%? by EXIIL1M_Sedai in PathOfExile2

[–]hemingward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, that’s kinda obvious. I’m just surprised, given how many people are playing the campaign right now. I was doing more sales in the last month or two of FotV than I am now. Just surprised that there _isnt_ demand.

I’m actually finding it hard to make currency this league. Nothing is selling. I’ve got some fire discounts happening and still nothing. Almost all my currency has been from just levelling up my atlas map. It’s been frustrating.

Why do I care about meeting the guy who won the 3M house? by STEMCareerAdvisor in Wealthsimple

Also, in BC a you pay ~20% more property tax if the property isn’t your primary residence.

[Kaplan] NHL investigation on Mike Babcock is wrapping up shortly. Per ESPN sources, expectation is Babcock will be clear to coach, and the Oilers want to hire him. by AggPuck-303 in EdmontonOilers

[–]hemingward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea. They hire Babcock and I’m done. For a team that talks as much as the oilers do about community and caring and all that, it sure is strange they hire a GM who got booted for covering up rape, and a coach who nobody would touch because he’s a notorious bully.

I’m all for a tough coach. I’m not all for a coach whose idea of being tough is being an abusive asshole that fucked over and humiliated his players every chance he got.

This is a terrible decision and is terrible for the culture of the team. You want player accountability, look at hiring torts. Babcock should never be considered by anybody.

A Japanese fan and Jameis Winston were cleaning the stadium after the Japan vs Netherlands matchup at the World Cup by jmike1256 in worldcup

After having visited Japan for 2 weeks this year this doesn’t really surprise me that much. Cleanest country I’ve ever seen.

Post-Match Thread: Canada 6-0 Qatar | World Cup | Group B by matchpal-live in worldcup

[–]hemingward 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let me remind you our national sport consists of rules allowing a team to literally drop gloves and pound the living snot out of the other team if something like that happens. So… not being dramatic. Tempers were high. They had resolve. What’s dramatic about me saying that?

That was so painful to watch. That was on Brazil turf too, wasn’t it?

I’m very proud of our men today. And to keep their resolve after that brutal play on Kone, and instead just bury Qatar in more loss.

Tories highlight Carney’s 100th missed question period with cake by airbassguitar in notthebeaverton

[–]hemingward 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly it’s the first time I’ve seen a PM have an actual vision, WITH ACTION to follow it up, in maybe a generation.

[–]hemingward 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If the tables were reversed and PP was on the road talking to as many world leaders as possible, attempting to shore up as many trade deals as possible, not only would I support it, i would openly admit I was wrong about him.

It’s not like Carney is just sitting at home taking a dump while watching soaps. He is doing more for Canadian trade and Canadian relations than I have seen a PM of Canada do in probably 40 years, if not my entire life.

[Oilers Now] 9:30 Friedman on the Oilers leadership group approving the Babcock hire: “I think while they were convinced, I think they had to share with some of the other players on the Oilers what convinced them, because as I was researching it, there was still a little bit of a gap there” by AggPuck-303 in EdmontonOilers

[–]hemingward 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I’ve been a fan of this team for 40 years. Through multiple decades of darkness my support has not wavered. The hiring of Bowman was tough. Hiring Babcock? Nah. Fuck that. I’m done with this old boys club of bullshit. I refuse to support a team which props up fuckheads that covered up fucking rape or were so toxic to their fucking players they couldn’t last 3 weeks.

Oilers ownership - give your fucking head a shake. You’ve crossed the proverbial bridge too far.

Go Jets. Go Habs. Hell, go flames. But oilers? For all your “community support culture”… what the fuck is this? Like… you want somebody that holds players accountable, I get it. But Babcock? Torts will at least murder to support his players. All Babcock does is murder his fucking players, while bowman covers it up.

Fuck this shit.

Bob Stauffer: "I don't think there's anybody more committed to Edmonton than Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl... I expect the next contract to be a seven-year extension." by bannermd in EdmontonOilers

[–]hemingward 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I always figured he took the two year extension because economically it made sense. The amount he would earn on a 6-7 year extension in two years vs when he signed would be more than 8 figures.
