  1. No No they are not. Good to know you're a joe Rogan fan though. This rumour originated it's main stream fame from him and he backtracked after admitting it was a lie and that he thought he heard it from a friend's wife who heard it from a school. But...ya, do go on.
  2. I just want to know. Kind of just wanting to figure out if the person who posted it thinks the accredited individual asking for basic respect for the lgbtq community and suggesting that the dr in question is in fact a certified medical professional is being nonsensical for those simple statements. or If they think the guy who is posting against the lgbtq community with that simple statement and pushing a known and false narrative created against said medical professional is being nonsensical. Kind of just want to know what type of person that individual really is. Because on one hand, they'd be literally accepting the vilification and refusal of basic respect to people based on orientation for possibly the simplest of requests. On the other hand, they'd be supporting the refusal of that respect while also pushing a known lie against a medical professional. So essentially I am just wanting to know what type of person said individual really is. Like there's low, then there's...you know. Low
  3. I am just seeking clarification as to whether you think Musk was posting nonsense or Scott was.
  4. Coming with the receipts. Jack Sweeney now claims/proves that the account "muskjet" was shadowbanned on order from twitter execs. Not three weeks after Musk said he would do no such thing after claiming to be the champion of free speech Since then, the account has apparently been reinstated without restrictions but info, emails and clocking prove that the account was in fact restricted for a time. So much for Musk being about free speech https://gizmodo.com/elon-musk-shadowban-elonjet-private-jet-twitter-1849882446
  5. But, who do you think was posting nonsense there? Was it Musk or Scott?
  6. Wait a minute. So people can now sue others for their own bad judgement? If so...man do I need a lawyer with free time
  7. So...leftists is it? I think we can finally stop pretending. His terminology, his statements about "woke, leftists, agenda's" his support of some insanely far right and disgusting individuals and courting some of the most reprehensible politicians in the world. His embracing, suggesting and supporting of some of the most outlandish and ignorant conspiracies about everything from world finances to health care issues. I think we can stop pretending Musk is anything but what his actions and statements make him.
  8. Whatever the "best offer" for Horvat is. It means this team is done for the year. It also suggests that they knew which is why we saw Miller at centre yesterday during practice. It doesn't matter what they suggest or do. They do not have a centre to take Horvats draws, d-zone starts or replicate his scoring. The moment he is gone, we go from losing a few to losing the majority. That would mean the most common sense thing to do afterwards is also cash in on Schenn and Kuzmenko. I would also go even further to suggest that trading Boeser for a moderate return by taking back a similar shorter term contract on a non productive player is also a smart move. If Myers can also be moved for a moderate return by taking back a shorter term comparable contract of the same type of non productive player they do it. The writing is on the wall for this team once Horvat is gone and management can accept that they can weaponize the cap space they can garner by smart trades and short term pain to retool around Hughes/Pettersson/Demko and Podkolzin over the next 2-3 seasons or they can continue doing the same thing the organization has done for a decade and hope for different results. This is where it gets interesting.
  9. They outright suggested that the miller contract handcuffed them, buyers remorse?
  10. That's it for Bo. Tweet outright says the Miller contract handcuffed the team
  11. I am not on twitter and can not verify this but reddit has a large number of people showing their accounts deleted/banned after posting video of Musk being booed and jeered at a chappelle show. Evidently Musk was brought on stage and was then jeered and booed for almost 5 minutes before screaming "i'm rich B***H" to which chappeles team used horns to drown out the booing. The images/accounts post their accounts having posted or shared the video only to then post images of their accounts being banned/deleted afterwards. Again I am not on twitter and can not confirm this, but it does seem to track with accusations daily of accounts critical of musk finding themselves locked out.
  12. To be fair, I and a number of others quickly made this exact statement about Miller. Even more made comments about Boeser doing just this. And I would have put $$$$$ down over Thompson progressing over either of Miller or Boeser maintaining what they'd already done.
  13. and 2019 numbers are still seeing housing prices 30% higher or so than they were in 2018 Kind of insane to think that for housing in BC to be affordable with the average wage rates, that it would need to fall back to pre 2010 levels.
  14. That...is absolutely positively untrue. Not sure why you would feel the need to either make this unsubstantiated claim, or outright lie about this. This is a combination of RSV, Influenza A and Covid driving the single largest demographic being children in to ICUs, Pediatrics departments across the country. We are also seeing some of the highest rates of mortality with covid/influenza related deaths thus far since the pandemic started. Hospitals still see a far overwhelming number of people being admitted/dying that are unvaccinated over those that are. Why? because the number of non vaccinated people are so small but still take up over 30% of all hospitalized cases. Those numbers are absolutely damning in the face of your claim. Unvaccinated people also tend to be the root cause of or progenitors of mutations. With a number of the most recent covid related mutations being attributed to those pockets of unvaccinated individuals that tend to group within small areas/social events. If you'd like to refute any of this by all means go ahead. But there's literally zero point or reason for pushing out anything so blatantly false and easily refuted to begin with https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/massive-surge-of-sick-kids-could-force-hospitals-to-triage-care-er-doctor-1.6145700 As Ontario's children's hospitals struggle to handle a surge of new patients with viral infections, Pirzada says that's putting more strain on emergency rooms and could lead to patients being triaged -- a decision that will have impacts on adults. "We will always take the child over an adult," Pirzada cautioned. "That's established protocol." https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/we-are-so-overwhelmed-children-s-hospitals-across-canada-stretched-as-rsv-cases-flu-like-illnesses-spike-1.6139599 Coming down from the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, children’s hospitals across Canada are struggling to handle a new surge of young patients with viral infections in what pediatric health-care workers are calling their version of 2020. Pediatric health-care professionals warn most children's hospitals are operating at or over 100 per cent occupancy, that emergency room wait times can be up to 24 hours and that some non-emergency surgeries are already being delayed. One germ in particular, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), has especially stretched hospitals’ limits. RSV is a common childhood respiratory infection that normally results in cold-like symptoms which clear up after a week or two, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). However, the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) warns severe cases of RSV may lead to hospitalization. RSV can also cause secondary bacterial infections, such as pneumonia. There is no vaccine for RSV nor any medication that clears up an infection, so care is normally centred on treating symptoms and secondary infections. https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/hospital-for-sick-children-surge-covid-flu-rsv-1.6654303 The ripple effect of this latest surge is being felt across the hospital. Last week, SickKids announced it was cancelling non-urgent surgeries. Staff are being redeployed to the emergency department and the pediatric intensive care unit, which is completely full with the sickest children getting care. "We're in a situation now where these children with breathing problems or what we call respiratory failure are so voluminous … that the only way we can continue to provide these kids with life-threatening illnesses the care they need is to pull resources from elsewhere and that unfortunately requires these kinds of difficult decisions," said Dr. Steven Schwartz, the hospital's chief of critical care medicine. "This is, to an extent ... our COVID in pediatrics." https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/article-kids-hospitals-rsv-infections/ As a neonatologist at BC Children’s Hospital and co-chair of a provincial program dealing with respiratory syncytial virus, Pascal Lavoie knows exactly how many cases of RSV are reported in the province. In an average year, B.C. sees 1,450 cases of the common virus, which usually infects all children by the time they reach the age of two. But during the first full winter of COVID-19 in 2020-2021, with extensive public-health restrictions in place, there were only five. Dr. Lavoie saw similar trends in Australia and the United States. However, in the summer of 2021, a major resurgence of RSV infections in those countries sent many children to hospital well before the usual fall onset of the virus. In an article in the Canadian Medical Association Journal in July, 2021, Dr. Lavoie and two colleagues warned that an upswing of RSV infections “could stretch resources in pediatric intensive care units across Canada.” The prediction came true. Last year, BC Children’s Hospital reported nearly three times the usual number of RSV infections in kids under 3. Other provinces, such as Alberta, also had a higher-than-usual number of RSV-related hospitalizations. https://www.cp24.com/news/ontario-hospitals-asked-to-admit-teenage-patients-to-adult-icus-1.6136901 Ontario hospitals are being urged to admit teenage critical care patients to adult intensive care units to help create capacity at children's hospitals seeing a surge in pediatric ICU patients.
  15. I don't have cable. I don't watch the news anymore. I flip through various news websites every few days to keep on top of things. My dad was the highest possible risk category and the last 18 months of his life was spent at my brothers in an upper loft where he left maybe 3 or 4 times. Prior to covid within a few short years he had suffered a couple heart attacks a stroke and a clot that caused compartment syndrome in his leg resulting in the amputation of it just above the knee. To be honest the speed in which covid got him was merciful. The elderly are still people. Asking or forcing them to reside indoors in effective or essential imprisonment is shameful and something I have heard repeated a number of times. They are the highest possible risk category, but the fuel of new variants etc are caused by the unvaccinated of which the science is effectively unanimous. Would we then take that small minority of the population, healthy and obstinate and enforce their imprisonment until such time as the newest waves have subsided? Or would we consider that inhumane? The government has effectively been as open as they can be, but when the numbers pile up and the health care system is at the edge of collapse missing three or five verified CoD's and attributing them to covid based on pre-existing conditions is not exactly misconstruing the data so much as it is just making an educated guess. When two young girls died of influenza related issues in our province every possible measure was taken to figure out why and what happened recently. There is/was no mistaking what happened as they had no preexisting issues. We can't live in fear, but we also can't live in ignorance. Propaganda finds root in bias and fear, and ignorance loves the fertile ground that provides
  16. he says while twitter is about to drop a paid subscription from a free program
  17. I never understood the need. Like, look at Manny Malhotra. Where was he drafted? How good was he for our team? If he'd been forced to try to develop that top 6 offense or bust he'd have been out if the league at 27.
  18. The saddest thing right now is how we're watching the divisional standings thinking it's possible. But that's literally only based on mediocre runs so far by Edmonton and Calgary. Even San Jose is "close" by that metric. The Ducks could rattle off 5 solid wins and also be close. The moment Calgary and Edmonton get their feet under them we'll be fighting San Jose for the basement view position
  19. I can't wait for the rest of the year. Knowing what's coming is kind of exciting even if it is anti climatic Play mediocre hockey towards the tdl. Hear rumours of everyone being traded to change things up. The most minor of trades will happen. Management will tell us the market was soft, worked on lots of deals. Couldn't make things happen due to the market and climate because nobody was willing to pay a premium. See 3 Chiarot type deals happen with other teams with quality returns. Be told this team is close enough to make the playoffs and feel they will surprise people once they get in Hear how every effort is being made to retain Horvat and Kuzmenko. Believing this team can still be competitive with more structure and the right mix. String together a number of strong winning streaks to end the season. Move from 7th to 13th in the draft. Watch 7th place move up to 1st or 2nd. Draft a smaller skilled winger. Hear that numerous attempts were made to improve draft position and to wait for day two for major moves to happen. See nothing happen Hear how every effort is being made to make moves to improve the defense. See Horvat Schenn and Kuzmenko walk for nothing. Because....it's worked the last 8 ish years why change now?
  20. Almost like Shaw was good at his job and Yeo isnt
