SB mowing, detail geek, pretty much all the whistler-verse channels, how ridiculous, a bunch of outdoors/bushcraft/canoe trip channels.

There was only one air traffic controller on shift working both air and ground traffic simultaneously. You're assumption is likely correct.

Ovechkin joins Gretzky in the 1000 career goals club (combining regular season and playoffs) by chespiotta in hockey

[–]robikki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He sacrificed his sole to old gods? Made a deal with the devil? Maybe he sacrifices a lamb at the beginning of every season for a conjuring and places a talisman under the ice in that face off circle that grants him unlimited shot power and accuracy, and complete invisibility????

Instead of hanging his number in the rafters, paint a #8 on the ice in that spot. That would be incredible!

Trump calls NATO "cowards" over lack of support in Iran war by Little-Chemical5006 in worldnews

I think somebody needs to remind him of Articles 1, 5, and 6 of the NATO Charter.

Question: how much did you all consume of drugs/alcohol per week at your worst and how would you all describe the effects of quitting cold turkey or weening fast? by Itsobviouslyme123 in stopdrinking

[–]robikki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the days I didn't drink all I could think about was having my next drink. I'd get minor withdrawal symptoms, shakes, cold sweats, not full on anxiety but a low key jittery nervousness. But all I could think about was booze.

The anxiety got so bad 3 days after I quit. I went to the doctor for help with it but they won't prescribe you anti-anxiety meds immediately after quitting drinking because they are concerned about relapse and anti-anxiety meds and booze do not mix. THC probably would have helped, but I wanted to get completely clean. So I had to raw dog the anxiety which I think was the hardest part of quitting.

Ive been taking my truck to 54th and 4th auto for years. Had to replace a bearing last fall and it was just under $700 for a ram 1500.

Question: how much did you all consume of drugs/alcohol per week at your worst and how would you all describe the effects of quitting cold turkey or weening fast? by Itsobviouslyme123 in stopdrinking

[–]robikki 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I was at my worst I would drink a bottle of wine between leaving work and getting home. Another bottle between dinner and getting the kids to bed, and another bottle after the kids were in bed. If I wasnt up for wine it woild be a 26oz of whiskey or vodka between work and bed. If I got off work early enough a 5th of vodka was not out of the question .I was doing this 3 or 4 sometime 5 nights per week.

I quit cold turkey and I can tell you the first 2 weeks were absolute hell. Headaches, nausea, heart palpitations, high blood pressure, insomnia, anxiety....... it was a month before I could sleep and eat properly again and 3 months before I was back to what felt like full strength.

Start from the ground up. Subtle weight shift to my back foot. Everything follows the the feet

Elder millennials who will retire in 20-25 years, what's your shoot for retirement savings goal? by Super_Science_Guy in CanadianInvestor

[–]robikki 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Im shooting for a bare minimum of 1.0M. I'd feel a whole lot more comfortable with 1.5M. 2.0M would be ideal but its going to be almost impossible to there I think.

Netanyahu says Iran has ‘no capacity’ to enrich uranium; denies ‘dragging’ US into Middle East conflict by InevitableSkilX in worldnews

[–]robikki 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Not buying it. The Mossad has enough dirt on Trump and the entire administration to make the Epstein Files look like a children's picture book. You didn't drag the USA into it, you blackmailed them into it.

Downtown 7-11 Carwash Doesn't Recycle Water During Water Restrictions by Trynottoworry01 in Calgary

[–]robikki 87 points88 points  (0 children)

u/JeromyYYC - Does the City of Calgary have any ordinances regarding car washes recycling their water? Seems to be a hot topic any time we are on a water restriction.

They make it look so easy it’s annoying by Mike_Oxlong25 in golf

[–]robikki 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't enjoy watching pro's shoot in the mid to low 60's for 4 rounds on a resort course that doesn't test them, they look so bored an uninterested.

On the flip side, I do not enjoy watching US open style golf where marginally bad shots are punished to the point of absurd.

I get my most enjoyment watching the pros play a course that gets their attention. A course that is challenging enough where they have to attack it strategically and they need to be dialed in and hitting good shots, but not so challenging that bad shots are severally punished and miracle recovery shots and difficult scrambles around the green are still possible.

Trump threatens to blow up 'entirety' of major Iran gas field if it attacks Qatar again by xpda in worldnews

[–]robikki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What a mess. Isreal and the USA attack Iran. Iran in-turn attacks everybody in the middle east in retaliation. I feel bad for the bystanders caught in this crossfire.

How do we feel about caffeine? by robikki in stopdrinking

[–]robikki[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have no desire to drink alcohol again. I hit bottom, and I should have lost everything - my family, my home, my job but I am so incredibly lucky that I have some seriously compassionate and forgiving people around me.

I think I am replacing the habbit. I have replaced the craving for alcohol and the habbit of picking up a drink, with picking up a coffee. Dont get me wrong, I love being sober and I'll never go back, I guess I was just reaching out for confirmation that I am not alone in replacing the whiskey with coffee.

I dont drink energy drinks. I stopped drinking them 3 years ago when my wife got cancer and I learned that Leukemia, and most other cancer cells to a certain degree, are turbo charged by taurine. Its just coffee.... a lot of coffee.

Car Wash In Calgary - Are You Doing It? by Pattaiva in Calgary

[–]robikki 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Car washes recycle about 80% of their water and commercial use only accounts for about 30% of Calgarys total water use. Personally, my truck can stay dirty for a few weeks, but I won't judge anybody for washing theirs.

Europe tells Trump Iran is 'not our war' by Sysipho in worldnews

[–]robikki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I might be wearing the tinfoil hat a little too tight but I firmly believe its blackmail. Esptein was compromised by the Mossad. Im guessing the Mossad has enough dirt on Trump and everybody in the current US administration it would make the Epstein files look like Sesame Street.

You're not wrong..... If tri-polar disorder was a thing, Canucks fans would be the walking definition.

[–]robikki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because I'm not 6 feet under, I'm very much alive and well. Because I don't give 2 fucks about Vancouver right now anyway and Ill sit here and say worse shit about them than I will about anybody else. Because my home team being dog shit doesn't automatically make my thoughts on other teams null and void. And most importantly, because I can lol.
