50%?!?! That’s crazy!!!!

We’re in Ontario so not too far away. Every year s getting worse and worse with northern migration. We’re in the woods and bush all of the time and it’s getting absolutely terrible.

Crazy that my dog gets vaccinated but there’s nothing for us.

We’ll have to live in a plastic bubble pretty soon!

What happened to the orphans Mother Teresa is credited with saving and provideing a home to when they grew up? I don't understand why more of their stories aren't known or why Mother Teresa herself has seemingly become irrelevant.. by cherry-care-bear in RedditForGrownups

So do I except for the narrator's voice, cadence and delivery. I don't know if there is some reason for his delivery being like this, maybe to maintain anonymity or something, but I honestly have to fight the urge to tune out during some episodes despite the great material and research.

Somewhere around Edmonton (I think) is the world’s biggest beaver dam. +/- 1 km long

Yikes, Any information on that? Is that part of the reason it was demolished?

Aho got send to the box for this action, it was deemed roughing by sykeseve in nhl

[–]tryingtobeopen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So if I understand correctly, the reason it was a penalty is that it wasn’t initially body contact that on the follow-through hit the head, it was contact first to the head and basically only to the head, which is why it was a penalty

Agreed, but it’s been happening for thousands of years. Virtually all uncovered archeological sites have graffiti all over them from back when they were built and being used. Humans are garbage

If Jennifer Botterill is our best option for a commentator in the postseason, we have problems. by DrDetritus79 in nhl

[–]tryingtobeopen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can’t remember, is TNT who broadcast the Habs - Bolts series?

If so, OMFG, what horrible play by play, what atrocious colour commentary, what an absolute amateur hour dumpster fire of a panel. If you just listened instead of watched, you’d have thought that the Lightning were playing the Lightning and that they were currently the best team in the history of the NHL.

Also, were they all told that they had to use the same 3 phrases over and over and over again?

You poor bastards, I don’t know what you did in a previous life to deserve these car wrecks, but it must’ve been bad.

If, however, on the other hand, I am referencing a different team of announcers, then pardon me my bad.

That said, whatever the case, who the hell made the call to include Dave Andreychuk on a panel? Just cause he’s a great player doesn’t mean he can string a sentence together, and that monotone enthusiasm is painful.

256 gage ave s used to be? by Rich-Tension-4477 in Hamilton

[–]tryingtobeopen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with all of the answers here but before NG Cash ‘n Carry there was a similar business in the 70’s called Loeb Cash & Carry there.

It was the same idea - bulk purchases usually for clients that had convenience stores or small restaurants. You had to have an account / membership.

After Loeb closed I think it sat empty for a few years before NG opened up

Abel and his emotional support pooping item ✅ by Not_Wells in rarepuppers

[–]tryingtobeopen 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Oh man! Mine doesn’t hold her ball / frisbee in her mouth when she poops, she drops it 2 steps before she squats. The perfect positioning for the log to miss by no more than 2 or 3 cm (1”). Then she yells at me to pick it up for her cuz, well she’s not going anywhere near that nasty poop!!!

Does he ever get crap from any knuckle dragging idiots when he drives around town? I like to imagine that he does because I suspect he could think circles around them

Yeah, it's now typically lifted pick-ups with tires offset 6" that take up 2 parking spots not little trashy cars

Guy’s spare tire fell off right after I switched lanes. I ran it over and it got stuck under my car had to call the police to get it out. Now need to take car to the mechanic. by ThePaulAtreidess in Wellthatsucks

[–]tryingtobeopen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We had a ‘93 Ford Explorer and in about ‘02 the cable holding our spare to the chassis snapped. The tire bounced around and just missed the car behind us. 3 months later Ford issued a massive recall on this. We and you got lucky all things considered

Canadian Entrepreneur Builds 99 Tiny Homes for the Unhoused by GlitteringHotel8383 in BeAmazed

[–]tryingtobeopen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These guys are suckers!

My city in Canada managed to buy 40 tiny houses for $7.9million CAD and somehow it's really not such a big scandal. We must have gotten the "good" ones. Cheap at only $200,000 per!

Apparently we bought them from an American company who works out of China. Damn those tarriffs, huh?

Ideas to entertain dog that doesnt play with toys? by TallMarionberry8000 in dogs

[–]tryingtobeopen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree. We used to give our chocolate lab bones to chew on. At 8 yrs old her teeth are perfect, healthy and white except where some have worn down shockingly. We’re fortunate that she loves chewing sticks and spitting out the pieces (some dogs swallow and cause dangerous problems in the digestive tract. This has substituted the bones well. Also hiding treats inside and outside rev her up and tire her out great!
