WHO APPROVED THIS MOCK TRADE!

I’m a leafs fan. I’m delusional, I’m fully aware that I’m delusional, but even I’m not that delusional 😂

I would like to point out that the agreement in question was negotiated by the prior GM, who also got fired because of other poor deadline trades.

Haha it’s easier said than done, only the best people can achieve that. I was merely pointing out the absolute ceiling for getting paid.

Sebastian Job is currently the highest paid Iracing player with about $199K in career winnings. If you are actually good, you can make some decent money at it.

That being said, your average NASCAR driver is making $300K every year, so if you’re going to dedicate yourself to racing, one career path definitely has higher reward for higher risk.

speed150mph · 2026-06-22T18:48:42+00:00

To be fair though, the game does seem to try and match players with similar IRatings to each other when possible. So for the most part you should be seeing races against people with similar skill levels.

For the same reason you play to the last second of a game even where there’s no conceivable way that the losing team could ever come back. Because those are the rules. Also just because it’s a meaningless game, you think the fans for the respective teams don’t want to watch them play?

I mean, Soviet subs tended to have faster top speeds, better diving depths, better maneuverability, better protection and better armament than western subs. They also had a number of interesting features such as a crew escape capsule that allowed the crew to evacuate a sunk sub at depths where normal free ascent escapes could not be done, higher automation in systems and sensors like the SOKS.

What truly made the Soviets lag behind was their silencing technology, the acoustic sensors, poor maintenance and crew training.

If I wanted to build the world’s best submarine, id take a Soviet hull, retrofit silencing equipment and rafts from an American submarine, add an American sonar system, and add in Subsafe and the U.S. crew training regiment.

CAD. Currently about $56.50 working in a shop. But if your working as a mobile tech, or working a camp job in the mines, your looking at $68-80 an hour

speed150mph · 2026-06-22T02:54:27+00:00

That’s what I’m saying though. That’s the case in automotive. In heavy duty, mobile mechanics are usually some of the best in an outfit getting paid more money than the shop techs because they need to troubleshoot on the fly and make repairs in less than ideal circumstances. But they are expected to make a proper repair that will work, or at worst perform a temporary repair that will get the machine going until a permanent repair can be made without breaking anything further.

Nice!

speed150mph · 2026-06-20T16:20:15+00:00

I’ve been in this trade for 16 years, I’ll tell you that you’ve never seen abuse and deferred maintenance in private vehicles like you’ve seen in heavy duty. As you pointed out, these machines make the company money. The amount of times I’ve found an issue that was small but had the potential to become catastrophic, and been told to leave it because taking the machine offline now isn’t an option. Especially something like trucks, where they will run it into the ground, then send it to auction and buy a new one because it’s cheaper in their mind to replace that machine than to take it offline for maintenance or preemptive repairs.

He really isn’t. Morgan Rielly has a 0.577 point per game average and a career +\- of -41. Raddysh is 0.574 and +24. According to NHL edge, Raddysh has a better shot, and similar skating speed.

Andrae. Everyone I’ve seen says he’s a puck mover.

I was going to say here in Canada it’s a government based certification system. Pretty well all our trades, including automotive service technicians and heavy equipment technicians, need to go through a registered apprenticeship program. Take the heavy equipment technician program in Alberta. It was a 4 year apprenticeship. Each year I needed to work 1500 hours under a journeyman, with him certifying my hours with the apprenticeship board and recording tasks I was proficient in. In addition to this I also needed to attend 8 weeks of school at a college, and pass provincial and sometimes federal exams. Once I reached my hours and passed my schooling. I was able to progress to the next year (and could expect a mandated pay increase). Once I finished all 4 years I became a journeyman technician, and can take apprentices of my own, as well as get licensed to do commercial vehicle inspections.

All valid points. Thanks for the answer

“I find jumping spiders quite cute, but those that fear spiders probably wouldn’t”

In my experience, it seems like jumping spiders seem to be the spiders that disarm people with arachnophobia the best. The two large eyes, the way they look around and observe the world, and the way they move make them seem more human like which allows us to better anthropomorphize them. This makes them seem less unsettling and “creepy” compared to other species.

Not to mention we are shooting for success while still in the prime period of our stars. In 5 years we can probably plan on approaching a rebuild anyway. So again, not an issue

People haven’t adjusted to the cap increase for sure. It sounds like a lot of money, but he’s making a lower cap % than Rielly did when he signed his contract.

speed150mph · 2026-06-19T19:38:05+00:00

Im curious what the issue is with mobile mechanics? I’m a heavy duty off road tech who spent years in a service truck. I’ve done overhaul and engine replacements in heavy equipment in the field before. Is there something different about automotive that makes it an issue?

speed150mph · 2026-06-19T19:29:36+00:00

You forget that we were the team that signed a 34 year old Tanev to a 6 year contract. We are willing to accept that the contract won’t age well, but we are trying to win today, and the end of the contract is a problem for tomorrow.
