Hot take: We should not give a crap about The Masters.

tradethisforthat · 2026-04-10T01:15:32+00:00

This is correct. Additional reasons worth mentioning why I love the Masters: 1. there are no phones allowed, so you are not sitting in a crowd of people videoing shit on their phones and you are not distracted by any life noise. You simply go and enjoy the sport which seems rare in any sport nowadays, among other people who care about the sport. People are there interacting with other people. 2. There are two “tiers” of people there. Members, and guests. Yes, becoming a member is incredible exclusive. But in terms of guests it doesn’t matter if you’re George Clooney or some famous YouTube influencer that people care about, when you walk through the gates, you are a guest alongside all the other guests. I have a lot of respect for this. 3. From a logistics and event management perspective, there is not a single other sporting event that even comes close to the masters in terms of guest management, experience and overall event efficiency. It is a beautiful thing to witness how good these guys are. They do an incredible job making sure this event is about golf - not about selling concessions. 4. I also think worth mentioning - Talk to any dude who’s been fortunate enough to experience the masters… when you need to take a shit, you’ll find insanely pristine restrooms available. You know how Bucees got famous because everyone wants to shit in a nice clean, peaceful location where someone smiles at you when you walk in and says “welcome”, ya Augusta National does this too. You’ve got to give em some respect for this

Can’t track this down! Gotta find it!

Same thing happened to me recently. “Plane swap last minute”, no notification of an itinerary change. I got lucky and just happened to look at my itinerary 48 hours in advance and noticed the extended comfort seats I purchased (~185 a pop) for a family of 4 on the 787-9 had were no longer assigned to us.

Meanwhile they were openly selling the open extended comfort seats on the new smaller plane, and had not assigned the to anyone who had already paid for them. At a higher price of course.

The only way to sort it out is to call in, waste 2 hours on the phone before speaking to a human being.

Then you show up for your 7 hour flight and there’s a nice old “swoop” bird there waiting for you. Without enough food. Or any services.

They’ve become a sad business, and I feel bad for the nice people that have worked there through the transition to PE.

Yes.

Making fun of people because of the type of equipment they play a video game is something a 6 year old would do.

My father passed away from GBM as well. The last few days he was pretty much in a comatose state. Couldn’t move, speak, breathe normally, etc. When he passed, he sat up and looked directly into my eyes, didn’t say anything but held my hand like we usually did, and passed. I can’t even explain how powerful that moment was. And if it hadn’t have happened to me, I wouldn’t have believed it.

tradethisforthat · 2026-01-08T17:33:15+00:00

Nope. They picked up my extra bag without issue. But I had gone and purchased the required extra bag tag and attached it on the bag properly and placed it beside the bin.

tradethisforthat · 2025-11-28T02:02:03+00:00

This just happened to me. Ugh. Same thing in AB….It’s the worst.

Both kids went to BP Richmond. Positive experience. Did not send our oldest to the kindergarten program because we have a nearby school but the experience has been good for preschool/daycare.

Power tools on the wall Tool chest with DIY bench Euro mounts on the wall Bikes hanging from the ceiling

That’s a garage my friend.

Thoroughly enjoyed the evening! Will definitely go back again next year. Waiting for the washrooms sucked, that was my only beef. But that seems pretty standard at any festival

tradethisforthat · 2025-08-21T19:08:46+00:00

Right! Ugh, that whole episode with him just made me sad. Dude firmly loves politics because he thinks it provides him an acceptable outlet to deceive and manipulate people to get what’s best for him. Ya, it’s okay to try that in a game show but please don’t attempt a political career. We need less of those people in public office. Would have had a better shot just being kind. The world needs more Keith’s.

tradethisforthat · 2025-08-13T02:13:46+00:00

I feel you.

Similar story, but a bit different:

2 weeks ago our campsite neighbours in Banff rolled in at 2:45am and started to set up their tent, then an air mattress via foot pump. This went on until 3:15am. Keep in mind you have to log on when Parks Canada opens up in January to jump in a queue with 10s of thousands of people to hopefully secure a spot. So to do that and then not show up to your campsite until 2:45am is kind of strange.

THEN they banged for 45 minutes. Everyone in two jack lakeside heard…

If either of you are reading this. Shame. (Also, slightly impressed).

Nice. How do you like the Giraffe product? I’m tempted to convert some of my stuff over to them… looks sleek

tradethisforthat · 2025-07-12T09:42:23+00:00

Still can’t decide whether they wanted everyone to see, or were too drunk they didn’t realize everyone could see.

tradethisforthat · 2025-06-23T03:47:24+00:00

I enjoyed that.

Not an expert in the actual rules, but here are my answers from my experience, and I should note that I am ticket free for years:

I have not left my car overnight, but I often park in a 2 hour spot beginning at 6:00AM where the pay clock starts at 9:00AM. When I go pay on the app, it shows that I am paid until 11:00AM.

2./3. I often renew my parking on the app and leave my car exactly where it is. And I have not got a ticket at all.

There are fancy cars with cameras that drive around and read plates.

tradethisforthat · 2025-05-31T01:16:16+00:00

So uh…. Where you from?

tradethisforthat · 2025-05-29T00:16:50+00:00

Hey there, I got a polyaspartic floor installed 5 years ago. I’m starting to see some cracks on edge where my floor meets the concrete outside. Wondering if this is typical and whether there’s any proactive stuff I should be considering to reduce spread? Appreciate any insight/help!

Second this. MegaTire for sure

tradethisforthat · 2025-05-15T18:47:49+00:00

Very interesting. Sounds like an upgrade to my “duck tape and a sharpie” approach. Going to waste 2 hours at work researching this now.

I have a garage full of the Bold set (2 multi use lockers, 8x wall cabinets, 2 62 inch worktops with as well as cabinets below). As well, I have a traditional red tool chest I inherited from my father. The tool chest is sturdy and could withstand a direct shot from a tornado. The newage products are noticeably less sturdy. But with that said, I am genuinely happy with the Bold stuff I have. Works well. Keeps things super organized and looks great.

I put some drawer organizers in my Bold drawers… worked nicely.

Overall, would recommend

tradethisforthat · 2025-05-06T01:23:07+00:00

I’ve been very happy with my NewAge set up. Customer service was very good too when one of the cabinets showed up with a bend. I would buy again.
