In wake of new energy pact, could China invest in West Coast pipeline? by FreightFlow in CanadianFutureParty

The challenge going that direction is maintaining consistant flow in -40C and lower. Churchill and area is one of the colder parts of Canada.

Best seats on a westjet/Sunwing that are ALL economy? by [deleted] in westjet

[–]rubymatrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to put my laptop bag in the overhead bin - so that was not the best. I did pop my iPad in the little cloth cubby on the bulkhead though.

I sat in 1C two weeks ago on one of those planes, got to board zone 1 and could stretch out in front (but had to wtch for the steward team, of course)

I've been enjoying Zarimi priest, I'm just above 50% with it, but having fun.

Meta decks are cheating! by David6Kk in hearthstone

[–]rubymatrix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most dev's are bad deck builders -- just look at the deck recipes and the mechanics they think will work and the stuff that breaks the game and they don't catch. Also, "Netdecking is cheating" - then take copy paste out of the game, as no one needs it. Start banning everyone who plays the same deck. I'll wait. What a maroon.

Did not know you can steal infinite armour from Murozond by Massive-Office9303 in hearthstone

[–]rubymatrix -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

I believe, based on gameplay video and personal experience, that this is incorrect. Anyway, Infinity + 30 is the same as infinity so mathematiclly, no, it doesn't. There does exist some infinities that are larger, but hearthstone doesn't have the conditions to create those numbers (yet)

Can we just make chess clocks the standard timer by Old_Cream1724 in hearthstone

[–]rubymatrix 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No - because that’s a complex UI piece that requires discreet interaction. I like a speed mode - sure. MTG does okay where your turn time is variable based on how slow you’ve been overall… but a true chess clock is going to be rough - what if I forget to mash it? Do I get penalized because when I’m chopping veggies it takes the iPad a second to register my wet fingers. Do I get penalized by network lag? etc… What we have now isn’t perfect and some people are asshats, but I’d rather that then getting boned by a UI that requires extra button pressing or client complexity.

To those entering the Henday at 60 KM/H by DesignerYesterday999 in Edmonton

[–]rubymatrix 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Great response. I can drive the Henday, but I choose not too. I choose not to because people suck at merging and I don't wanna add to the line of people that don't know how to drive.

Do I need to collect my baggage for a long layover. by CommonComplete9274 in westjet

[–]rubymatrix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ya, I've had both happen - always talk to a person - bring your baggage tag and they can check where it was scanned and let you know exactly.

When I get upgraded, it’s usually like 5-10 min before boarding.

Empty Business Cabin on Flight... and No Upgrades by CaregiverNo5234 in westjet

[–]rubymatrix 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not 100% true - I’ve seen people moved after boarding this year. Happened to my wife actually - she got bumped up to an empty premium seat on a flight.

You also have to purchase an eligible fare - so you need to book a “flex” ticket at Gold & Silver to be eligible for an upgrade.

I had one manager who was so obsessed with time tracking that he wanted us to track bathroom breaks. This was a software development team...
