  1. 15 year return on investment?? Try and get any bean counter to sign off on that if you are requesting a capital expenditure. It needs to be 2 or 3 years. Maybe 5 if it's for some progressive feel good initiative for the brain dead.
  2. The lake we are on is up quite high. I was expecting it to be lower coming off a dry year with below average snow pack.
  3. I’ve always felt Syd > Ovi but I’m glad to see him get a shot at the cup. Hard not to like the big dumb Russian.
  4. Fleury seems a little Ovi's mind was blown after finally knocking off the Pens. His english has never been great but he couldn't even string a sentence together in the post game interview.
  5. Tomaters don't contain psychoactive chemicals. With legalization, the production, sale and consumption of it will be regulated, all of which takes manpower to ensure compliance. With our upcoming legalization all the the municipalities are lining up for a piece of the revenues to cover all of these costs off.
  6. There will still be all kinds of enforcement needed after legalization.
  7. Primary contact was to Ashton's head, so there is some culpability for Wilson. I don't think there was blatant intent, so I would have thought one game was appropriate. Wilson's previous suspensions may have influenced giving him the extra games.
  8. Environmental armageddon will occur if we don't get oil to the equivalent of $300 a barrel. Crude will still be $70, and the government carbon tax will be $230. That's where the one world government types are trying to go.
  9. The carbon tax bumped up April 1st, so it is part of their increased prices, but so is increased crude and also a constraint in refined supply coming up from the US. Trans mountain has SFA to do with it at this point. Even if BC weren't trying to hold it up, it wouldn't be completed for a couple of years. However, it is giving BC's lower mainland a taste of whats to come if they don't build transmountain.
  10. Pull the wires off the gas valve. Measure the resistance across the two terminals. If you reading an open circuit ("1" on your multimeter) then that tells you the valve is futched.
  11. Do you think she actually bangs him any more? I doubt it.
  12. Oh my gherd!!!!! A 200 by 200 meter spill..... The world is surely going to end...... Oh wait, I'm still here, and so is everyone else in AB and SK. WTF??? What do you think they do with them??? Throw some dirt over them and walk away? Please enlighten me on your pipeline spill remediation expertise.
  13. We will never ride without them and I haven't come across anyone who planned to ride with them yet either. But you are right, it's just another thing that increases your odds of surviving an avy. Slides this time of year are heavy and you can still get killed by debris even if you have all the best gear. Not getting caught in one in the first place is the number one safety precaution to take.
  14. I can't imagine not having at least the basic safety gear riding in the mountains. Very immature and disrespectful IMO. This time of year there's lot's of slopes that naturally fall with the melt, so you need to be extra careful where you go.
  15. Keystone and these other pipelines will actually increase what US companies are going to pay for Western Canada Select crude. Right now, the discount for WSC from the benchmark West Texas Intermediate is at record high, so we re losing potential revenue hand over fist because there is not enough pipeline capacity for our production. That's why there are US "interested parties" that are bank rolling Canadian environmental groups to block new lines. It's in their best interests to keep being able to buy our oil at deep discounts.
  16. There are tons of people in the interior just scraping to get by and all the well to do on the coast are pissing in investors cornflakes. I'll continue to support eastern BC, but fuck Vancouver and the Island.
  17. There's too many hippies and crusty retired old fucks in BC that have forgotten how they had to first earn a decent living to get to their cushy retirements. The provincial Liberals are centrist at best. That province swings too far left now days to play nice with industry.
  18. It's a little different up here, but there are very few "new" small farms here. They have mostly scaled up to be viable. The remaining small ones are older farmers that get bought up by others when they decide to pack it in. I think the average farm size here is almost 2000 acres.
  19. Just watched the replay, he left his feet, albeit in the follow through. Vatanen's head really snapped around, which would make one think there was contact directly to it. You can't say for sure with the camera angles though. VERY similar to Doughty's, so the NHL is not being consistent for sure. Both were somewhat cunty hits, but that's what makes hockey so fucking awesome.
  20. Morrissey gets a game for his cross check to Staal. Feel better now Bhen?
  21. Loved the smell of those. Burn't my fingers more than once messing around with them.
  22. Meh, not really late or blatantly dirty. Awkward more than anything I'd say.
  23. I go from thinking Doughty is a cunt to thinking he's awesome about 5 times every shift. I can't imagine having a legit d-man with some character and fire in his belly in TO though. I'd love to see him in Edmonton, but I'm sure they can't afford him. I couldn't find a clip where Parise got hurt. What happened?
