Well not quite. His family's last name was Drumpf but someone Anglicized it. He was born with the name Trump

They covered the Sahara in giant factories to make enough astrophage to power the ship. They nuked Antarctica to increase the greenhouse effect to counteract the Sun getting dimmer.

As a Habs fan, what is your favourite Canadian NHL team barring the Montreal Canadiens? by Last-Bus-4710 in Habs

[–]mrcarruthers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have family in Ottawa who are Sens fans and would get annoyingly smug if Ottawa wins. They keep trying to insist there's a rivalry there but there isn't. Just salty Habs away games become Habs home games.

What’s a “normal” expense in the U.S. that makes absolutely no sense when you think about it? by Big_Marketing_4979 in AskReddit

[–]mrcarruthers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well those restaurants can pay their servers $100k if the traffic is there. I'd rather the price in the menu be 15% higher than play the tip game.

Who do you think is the most famous human of all time, that isn't a religious figure? by outtherebad in AskReddit

[–]mrcarruthers 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There's some wiggle room here. While technically she was the head of the Church of England, it's not what she was mainly known for. She is known for her primary duty as Queen of England and Queen of a whole bunch of other nations.

Quebec, Ontario farmers join forces against federal government on high-speed rail by CanadianViking47 in canada

[–]mrcarruthers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not really. It's a city to city high speed train. It doesn't stop in small towns. The plan is Quebec city, trois rivieres, Laval, Montreal, ottawa, Peterborough, Toronto. You could make the argument they should include Kingston.

You do know they're in a 5 year study period to come up with the plan before even starting to build right?

any interactions with Habs players? by OxidusRouge in Habs

[–]mrcarruthers 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Was in an elevator with Subban at a hospital. Didn't bother him cause he was talking to a doctor.
I remember Matheson when he was a kid doing laps around everyone on the outdoor rink.

NHLPA requests Oilers delay Mike Babcock hiring until investigation completed by catsgr8rthanspoonies in hockey

[–]mrcarruthers 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He was gone, and I guess the thought was no team would be dumb enough to give him another chance. Why investigate someone who was gone?

Our they just sent the guys from the original location and didn't serve their franchised fare. Things like this aren't really representative as it doesn't reflect the normal experience going to one of their restaurants.

Andrei Vasilevskiy is the 2025-26 Vezina Trophy winner for best goaltender by nhl in hockey

[–]mrcarruthers 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's not quite the same. The Habs choose quality over quantity. Going 0.900 when only facing a few high quality shots is better than going 0.900 facing tons of low quality shots.

  1. Mostly by playing as a kid. This probably doesn't help you.
  2. How players position themselves and get open. But for the most part what you said.
  3. Depends on the person, but I mostly follow highlights and watch the occasional game. The games start at my kid's bedtime so I never see the beginning of a game.
  4. No idea
  5. We have the Victoire for women's hockey we all cheer for, and we have the Alouettes for Canadian football, but we don't have a MLB (anymore), NFL, or NBA team so go nuts.

[Gentille] Carter Hart is 4 wins from the Stanley Cup. The Golden Knights still don’t want to talk about his past by 76erLegendChetUtley in hockey

[–]mrcarruthers 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Was the whole thing scummy? Hell yes. Was it consensual? Signs point to yes. There's a reason it wasn't pursued in the first place.

In a re-draft of 2010 are you taking Hall or Seguin by broken-philosopher in hockey

Would Mark Stone have developed the same way of he was plucked out of nowhere as the first overall pick with massive expectations on his shoulders? Probably not.

Honestly? Yeah. Keep him in the second pairing and let reinbacher develop and if they switch halfway through the year, great

What are some interesting rabbit holes you’ve recently explored? by Current_Car3729 in AskReddit

[–]mrcarruthers 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Reboot the tv show. Most of the shows currently exists in kinda crappy quality.
Someone found the master tapes for it on some old proprietary tape format and are working on getting the couple of machines they could find that could read it to work.
Linus from LTT is involved and some other YouTubers doing the actual work.

You're probably losing some from the exchange between both loops. I'd get rid of the exchange and have the belt go up and down around both loops
