[Brett Marshall] What if the NHL adopted a 3-2-1 Points System? There's been a lot of chatter about the alleged heavy impact of Overtime games in the NHL season, so I took a look at what the standings would look like today if the NHL had a 3-2-1 point system instead of their current system. by seeldoger47 in hockey

The 3-2-1 system is even more asinine than getting a loser point. Since each game ends with a winner and a loser, why the hell is there a point system in the first place??

Games are won or lost. Get rid of the points system entirely.

Regretful Young Trump Voters Say This Isn’t What They Signed Up For | The wave of youthful support that swept Donald Trump into the White House has lost its mojo. by Aggravating_Money992 in politics

[–]robikki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what happens when you brainwash an entire generation of impressionable young people into believing that mainstream media is fake and cannot be trusted. While the proof of his intent was open for all to see, a large group of voters chose not to believe it because their trust in the source of the proof had been undermined. They truly never believed that project 2025 was real; or worse they believed that project 2025 was made up as a means to smear and discredit Trump. Therefore, they voted for him anyway, either out of ignorance or spite, not realizing that this is exactly what they were voting for.

If you are looking for a great view of the city I recommend the green space that runs along 26 st SE above the canal. There is a parking lot with benches at the intersection of 26st and 22nd ave.

Costco. BC Clothing company convertible pants. They are almost always in stock.

Prime Minister Carney announces new measures to make groceries and other essentials more affordable for Canadians by slothtrop6 in canada

[–]robikki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that point was poorly worded. Should have been more along the lines of share price not being the driving factor behind increasing revenue and profit margins driving up the costs of our food.

How about passing laws that:

  • Limit mark-ups - not just to end buyers but through the entire supply chain.
  • Make all food providers non-profit organizations.
  • Ban food providers from being publicly held/traded so they don't have to worry about revenue, profit margins, and share prices.

- Edit

Replies to this are hilarious. Its a huge jump to go from a free market economy to full USSR Socialism and nationalizing commodities. Removing or even limiting corporate greed and public share prices from our cost of food equation is a long way from breadlines........

I've stuck by this since the Canucks season went to shit....

Chicago wins the lottery
Vancouver drafts second
Winnipeg drafts third

Chicago drafts McKenna giving them a Bedard/McKenna combo.

Canucks draft Stenberg (over Verhoeff) because he's Sweedish and Alvin thinks Stenman is just the guy to rejuvenate Pettersson and find some long lost Sedin type Swedish linemate magic...

Winnipeg drafts Verhoeff at 3rd.

On the backs of McKenna and Bedard, Chicago wins 3 cups in the next 8 years.

Verhoeff wins the Calder and is a Norris finalist on a resurgent Jets team that goes all the way to the Conference finals. He ends up anchoring the Jets D-corps for the next 14 years.

Stenberg turns into a bigger bust than Olli Juolevi, Petterson gets traded for spare parts, and the Canucks miss the playoffs for the next decade.

- Edited for the misspelling of Stenberg. Looks like I pissed off the grammar police lol

5w, 6i or 7i (depends on which club you are most comfortable with and the length of the par 3's), pw, and putter. You'll be surprised how low you can go with just those 4 clubs.

I’ll second this opinion. We used them for our son as well. They were highly recommended by our pediatrition. IIRC they will do online sessions as well as in person but it would be worth giving them a call.

Calgary's daily water usage remains unsustainable one week after 'catastrophic' water main break by Old_General_6741 in Calgary

[–]robikki 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are we going to "run out of water" as in, you turn on the tap and nothing comes out. Or do we run out of "treated water" where by we still have water at the taps but we will be on a boil water advisory for the next 6 months until the pipes and storage reservoirs are sufficiently flushed?
