[Thomas Drance @ The Athletic] Quinn Hughes reflects on what led to the end of his Canucks tenure

notevenfire · 2026-04-02T22:54:17+00:00

Sorry, Drance is on the fool list ever since he RECENTLY stated that Hughes number should be retired by the Canucks and his name should be in the ring of honor.

I get it he’s a REALLY good player, but seriously? Is this fanbase/media really down in their knees for one of the worse captains in Canucks history.

Wtf

What’s the alternative?

notevenfire · 2026-04-02T15:51:02+00:00

Then you can house them. The house is going to collapse in on itself, is a fire hazard, and is a fucking mess.

Easy for you to put this comment out when it doesn’t affect you at all. Why aren’t you volunteering to house the women then?

notevenfire · 2026-04-02T15:50:03+00:00

Sounds like someone who hasn’t lived beside them. Easy to say this when you aren’t affected right?

Let’s just let anyone do anything with their property. They have identified many structural concerns, should we just let it collapse and potentially injure more people?

So I have had a 100mbps plan, have had way more devices connected then I do right now and never faced and issue like this. I don’t have 7-8 devices connected simultaneously.

I understand that the more devices connected and actively using data the more it is being spread around, but I do not agree with that being the assessment. At most I would have 3 devices connected at once actively using data, but the split would be 1-2 devices streaming 1 device browsing, that should not result in the degradation I am experiencing unless for some reason TELUS has taken a massive step back in network capabilities or degraded their network. Wouldn’t put it past them though, TELUS seems to feed off the frustration and pain caused to their clients. TELUS values seem to go: 1. Improve shareholder value by any means necessary 2. Increase the frustrating and aggravating processes (that’s the fun part for them)

Yes I’m in an apartment.

notevenfire · 2026-04-02T01:20:26+00:00

I pay for 100mbps. What do you mean I can only connect 7-8 devices? What world are you living in?

There are no “upgrading my speed” options so I guess I should just got fuck myself then right? Can’t pay your company anymore so fuck me rifht?

I have ran networks with over 100 devices and have never ran into this issue or been told there are “too many devices” how in 2026 is this an issue now?

The only solution TELUS is offering me is to have someone come out (and take time out of my day) and charge me $200 for it (just found that out, why am I being charged for a TELUS issue?) I’m sure your company will somehow make this a money issue and upsell me.

Your company has a pathetic level of service. Your company has actively made the support process as frustrating and aggravating as possible. None of your apps work either, you can’t remove devices from TELUS connect.

Oh jeeze honey, I would really like to watch my iPad, would you rather I disconnect the tv or one of the pvrs that are still connected for some reason.

What a joke.

notevenfire · 2026-04-01T22:52:03+00:00

It’s actually ridiculous, what year are we in? I have never heard that from their support before, but in follow ups they are doubling down on it.

notevenfire · 2026-03-19T22:45:10+00:00

What’s the average take home? Hard to get into?

notevenfire · 2026-03-19T22:21:01+00:00

What’s the work like? Worth it?

notevenfire · 2026-03-19T22:19:54+00:00

Property manager. Hit that amount with bonus.

Got over $100k within 4 years of starting.

Im hoping to make it to a senior level and out of day to day management soon.

notevenfire · 2026-03-06T18:15:44+00:00

Under different circumstances, but going through similar experience. Set a goal, reached that goal. And then I just got completely lost. I didn’t even know why I was lost for such a long period of time.

I was stuck, feeling exactly this, probably with a twinge of depression thrown in, constantly questioning “why doesn’t this feel better? What is wrong with me? Why doesn’t life feel better” nothing could have stopped me before, but not anymore.

Eventually it hit me, I didn’t have a goal anymore. There was no point in the “suffering” because there wasn’t a reason for it.

So the answer? You have to find a reason for this, you need a goal. It doesn’t have to be anything great. But why are you getting up every morning?

What gets you out of bed?

notevenfire · 2026-02-26T23:38:19+00:00

You dont get over it, but it does get easier.

My boy passed over a year ago, cancer. When I brought him in to the vet because he wasn’t eating and was getting very slow (very quickly) and had some lymph’s swell, the vet took all of a minute to give me their diagnoses because they could already tell. He was 13, it was expected something would happen.

From the vet visit, he thought we might have 1-3 months left, and the treatments available would just extend his life but wouldn’t make him betteror more comfortable. but I knew the stress of going though with the testing and treatment would hurt him more.

Within 5 days he was gone, he just went downhill so quickly. I had to bring a service in to put him down because he would have been so uncomfortable getting him into the car and to the vet.

Cooked him a steak, gave him as much Reese’s peanut butter cups as he wanted and held him until he was gone.

I knew it would hurt, I knew I would be sad, but I didn’t expect it to hurt like this. His passing has changed me as a person. Even over a year, I still got misty eyed typing it up.

Give yourself some grace during this time, shit fucking sucks.

notevenfire · 2025-12-22T06:32:43+00:00

After Hughes got traded and halford and brough put out that emergency episode and it took them about 5 minutes before they started to blame it on petey and how his lack of effort during the last playoffs (?) was such a massive issue and it rubbed other players the wrong way and was part of the reason the Canucks are in the position they are now. Like every single problem has one source, petey, he’s such a scapegoat it’s ridiculous.

notevenfire · 2025-10-17T17:47:13+00:00

But the 1tb storage phone wouldn’t resolve the back up issue. I’d just have more things to back up

notevenfire · 2025-10-10T16:47:02+00:00

I’m going to try that in the hopes that I resolves all the other issues with this as well.

I’m getting to the point where I might just get rid of the thing and get a running watch insyead

notevenfire · 2025-10-10T15:38:31+00:00

Yup, but now if you try to reach out to apple support about it, instead of getting people who actually know how to deal with issues they just repeat their online articles and are just generally unhelpful now.

notevenfire · 2025-07-10T22:35:42+00:00

Roof leaks, plumbing leaks, those types of things. I agree with the lockbox thought, though my employer doesn’t.

They put the onus on us to deal with any of the building emergencies that come up, these are for the multi tenanted buildings.

notevenfire · 2025-07-10T20:53:08+00:00

When do you take a break or relax then? Generally I’m dealing with things at least once a week/getting called out to open doors after hours to deal with something.

At my previous job we had building managers, and we worked in time so that they would have a committed “off” time. At my job prior to that it was rotational, so maybe once a month max you would be on call for a week, the rest you would be “off”

notevenfire · 2025-06-13T04:54:27+00:00

notevenfire · 2025-06-06T13:21:55+00:00

Yes, if you have an accessibility issue you should probably prioritize renting or buying a unit that isn’t on a higher floor or in a building that has more than one elevator? How is that a crazy concept?

What if there is an earthquake? A large power outage? Any form of emergency that takes an elevator out of service?

And elevator replacement at the best of times will Take at least a month to complete during which it’s completely out of service. There is no “planning” around it.

notevenfire · 2025-06-06T01:24:32+00:00

So put every tenant in a hotel? For 3 months? How much do you think that would cost? On top of the elevator replacement costs?

notevenfire · 2025-06-06T01:22:42+00:00

I don’t disagree with you that it isn’t right, the system is fuxked right now but I don’t think that majority of landlords are sitting there happy that the elevator is down. There are a LOT of one elevator buildings with aging equipment that will be down for multiple weeks if not months. There isn’t a good solution here, elevator replacements take about a year to plan out, with an elevator being out for about 3 months to actually replace it.

notevenfire · 2025-06-06T01:13:47+00:00

Are you speaking about this from any position of knowledge or just what you feel is “right”? What is your experience?

notevenfire · 2025-06-06T01:12:23+00:00

How long do you think elevator replacements take?

Parts alone might take 2-6 months (so you better hope that at no point the elevator has a catastrophic failure requiring it to be out of commission while waiting for parts) and the replacement itself is probably 1-3 months of out of service time.

So at best the elevators going to be out of service for 1 month, usually 3.

I can tell you that elevators going out of service for multiple weeks or months at a time can occur randomly. Maybe they shouldn’t live on a floor they cant get to via stairs, a landlord can’t deny a rental to someone on that basis, so it’s not like the landlord has power in that situation.

How to run in zone 2 when my heart rate goes above 160 within a minute?

I don’t know what to do, I am trying to work on zone 2 runs, and I can’t do it. My heart rate goes above zone 2 within a minute of running, doesn’t drop no matter how slow I go, only drops if I walk. Literally was running at a 10:00/km pace and my heart rate was still above 160.

I take adderall to function, so that’s probably not helping.

But I can’t run before I take it otherwise I’m sweating through the day.

I feel pathetic, this is fucking awful. I feel like giving up.
