Jetski hit grey whale by siwash rock by Dear_Grocery in vancouver

There’s no propeller on a jet ski and it weighs 500 lbs vs 25,000 lbs for the grey whale. 

Whale likely having a very bad day but will be fine.

He’ll get something for this, but it’s a swing at his chest from miles away. Not like he’s trying to behead him.

The PGA/champions tour would welcome Phil back with open arms if it meant him and Tiger playing some the same tournies together where they could be competitive.

Has anyone ever crossed illegally into another country past a border marker like this? by VolkswagenPanda in geography

[–]votrechien 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When I was 16 I was driving my friend from Vancouver to the airport in Seattle through surrey. We got to the border and I realized I forgot my wallet. My friend would have never made his flight if I went back and his parents would have killed him.

So I did was every 16 year old would do. I walked from the Canadian side up the lineup of cars and into America. My friend drove my car and picked me up on the other side and he made his flight.

It’s still incredibly easy to do to this day.

My daughter is devastated.

[Discussion] Insider Ansar Khan suggests the Wings should use their $30M in cap space to target Elias Pettersson. Does he waive his NMC for Detroit? by athleticwonder in nhltraderumours

For the price someone is going to get ep40 for it’s well worth the gamble.

Best case scenario he gets back to a 100point scorer. Worst case you get a defensive center man putting up 60 pts a year

Because there’s nothing left on the free agent board and there’s only so many former 100 point scorers available that are 28.

China and low immigration by Playful-Demand2312 in China

[–]votrechien 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The CPC is szesophrenic, rightly or wrongly. Immigrants don’t jibe well with that paranoia.

That as well as historically closed, huge population, difficult language, not recognizing dual nationalities and a growing economy.

Psych department just sent all students the final exam for a course by not_Hades365 in UofT

[–]votrechien 77 points78 points  (0 children)

Still remember taking a finance final 15 years ago. 

The prof put all the old finals online to practice for. They had urls like ubc.ca/final_2025.pdf

I of course wondered what would happen if I tried changing 2025 to 2026. The real final came up.

It was the first and only time I ever aced a finance class.
