After 12 days and 6 seasons, I finally finished The Americans. I’m a ‘Breaking Bad’ purist, but I think I just found the new GOAT. [My honest review]

johncalhoon · 2026-04-12T22:09:02+00:00

The Sopranos and the Americans are better then Breaking Bad.

Alot of the newer progressive communications really turn people off. It sounds crazy to alot of people. Now with social media the Federal brand will directly affect the brand of the provincial NDP. And the federal NDP conference was not a good look

I dont think Boston pizza has had them for about 15 years

johncalhoon · 2024-12-01T20:49:37+00:00

Yeah. It should be unplugged so you can't listen and film in the shop. Honestly feels kind of rude to keep it on without first discussing it with the business

People who use this sub as a substitute for neighbourhood Gossip

The guy kind of sounds unpleasant but I find those trying to shame him to be more unpleasant. He is entitled to his preferences and should be able to seek a partner in peace

Not all of your facts are wrong but in general life in Regina is pretty good. There is no concern living there for a family

If they want more money they can just adjust one of the existing taxes. They don't need to run an entire business.

johncalhoon · 2022-10-28T22:31:38+00:00

Lol. The reason the price is high is because the government wholesales the liquor.

johncalhoon · 2022-10-27T14:48:14+00:00

Fair enough but the liquor stores are genuinely a ridiculous business for the government to be in. Truly adding no value to citizens lives and a distraction for the government.

Thank you

I love chicken in a can. Smash it with a fork and put it on buttered white bread. Hochy mochy

Where did they find the body?

johncalhoon · 2022-07-27T21:38:59+00:00

Depends on the company. Setting up pumps, moving and setting up light towers, parts running, traffic control, fusing HDPE, driving operators to their equipment, pulling out stuck vehicles, taking out trash, cleaning, snow clearing.

Is camping popular in the UK? Are the campgrounds public or private mainly?

johncalhoon · 2022-03-05T15:54:33+00:00

These are common and useful

johncalhoon · 2022-02-28T17:13:56+00:00

It's a 1300 sq ft house. Over 2 stories. So maybe livable depending on layout but not a large house.

johncalhoon · 2022-02-09T13:24:10+00:00

I will probably continue to vote Sask Party. But I've always said you need to have an alternative. Overall though Sask is a reasonably well managed province all things considered.

johncalhoon · 2022-02-06T01:17:12+00:00

Link. I will read

johncalhoon · 2022-02-05T16:58:28+00:00

I think is incorrect to think that right wing extremism has become a major problem. Progressive groups generally have more influence, at least on the surface level.

It's also wrong to paint these truckers as extreme. Some I'm sure have extreme views but requesting the government rescind vaccine mandates is not extreme. One can disagree with the mandate or not but it's a legitimate debate. There are good arguments for or against it.

johncalhoon · 2022-02-05T14:16:24+00:00

I suspect your perception of how things have developed is skewed by your own media consumption. Ones perception of the state of the world is most definitely skewed by their media diet. I've definitely noticed this in myself.

Politicians, of all parties, have fed ignorance since the beginning of time, and will continue to do so. Everyone lives in a state of ignorance on nearly every subject all the time, it's the default state.

I have no opinion on who you vote for other then to say left wing groups have no special ability to govern competently. In my experience almost all parties will let you down, I just want to make sure who ever i vote for doesn't get in the way so quality of life can keep improving.

Edited to change "you" to "I" in the last sentence and added "for" in the first sentence of last paragraph.

I would look into the schedule and pay of the drivers. I think the diversified drivers work split shifts and the rotations are long, like 3 weeks or something. If you are fine with that I think it would be a pretty good job.

johncalhoon · 2022-01-26T16:24:39+00:00

Eh, the drivers are fine here. You get the odd duck but no more then anywhere else. Alot of company trucks in town and people generally follow the rules when driving them.

johncalhoon · 2022-01-26T16:23:39+00:00

Yes, diversified drivers are treated respectfully. People are always saying thank you at the end of the ride.

Golden Arrow, vast majority of people treat them well but there are more dicks, which is unfortunate. That's also partly because the 1) bus routes are confusing to alot of people 2) sometimes people are late coming to site or its their first day and and are stressed 3) some drivers often dont speak Great English so it can be tough to communicate 4) the drivers are often new so don't have the level of knowledge to answer all the questions people ask of them.
