  1. I dont see it happening. I think that gimmick of a real fight might be reduced to some sort of ...https://www.si.com/fannation/mma/news/roy-jones-jr-scores-ko-in-first-ever-metaverse-celebrity-boxing-match
  2. That is a quick assertion. I hear ya about privacy. I dont know why anyone does any of that intrusive social media stuff. This is the only place I post anything because it's annoymous. Then again, I don't online bank and hardly ever use my one credit card. Yup, cash only. If they dont have it in the shop I dont buy it. Never order anything online. Luddite for the win!
  3. Hands up if you wished you had bought more RIVN last month.....
  4. I very rarely watch a series. However I am enjoying The Last Kingdom on Netflix. About the Danes vs the Saxons in medieval England. Good balance of action and story telling. I get a kick out of some of the regions that they profile as I am originally from that area of England.
  5. Still love the spoken word by Rollins. ...If I let you, you would make me destroy myself. In order to survive you, I must first survive myself. And I can sink no further, and I cannot forgive you. There's no choice but to confront you, to engage you, to erase you. I've gone to great lengths to expand my threshold of pain. I'll use my mistakes against you. There's no other choice. Shameless now, nameless now, nothing now, no one now. But my soul must be iron. 'Cause my fear is naked. I'm naked and fearless. And my fear is naked
  6. Them gangsters that work at the port are striking. Avg wage of $130k isn't enough for them. They need more money for a new hog and vest.
  7. Who dis? Sounds like he's selling sham-wow. Is he talking canadian dollars or US in his prices? I would expect Canadian homes to sell for at least 5x as much as a comparable homes in the US. The simple reason is that our country is at least 5x better than theirs. I get it though, things are too expensive. Build more units!
  8. So, the BCLDB is the distribution arm of the gov. British Columbia Liquor Distribution Branch All venders/companies need to 'list' with BCLDB. What is carried in government stores has some restrictions, it's a load of hogwash but you do have to have enough quantity (min cases) that you could provide. In my day though, there was products known as 'spec' and 'super spec' . These were meant for the private shops etc, in fact they were the only places that they could be listed ( due to production quantity). That changed when they 'levelled the playing field'. They opened gov shops on Sundays, added cold zones and started to carry some specs. Basically, us in the private (LRS) shops were kicking too much ass despite operating with many disadvantages. I was a member of the BCPLSA , a BC wide group of shop owners, gms, and venders. We would battle the gov on many fronts to try to defend the private shops etc.. None of that is what I was talking about in the post you quoted. In liquor shops you actually cant do what the grocery stores can do ( just list a few companies). Liquor stores have to shelve reasonable market competition ( cant remember how they word it in the LRS handbook but I dont feel like looking it up). But what it means is that you cant just carry one venders product, for example I couldn't have a shop that is Molson House...like you can with on-premise licenses. I could not have just Molson products as my only domestic beer. Grocery stores are doing just that. It's why i pointed out that the big chains only have 11 companies that they rack on their shelves. In my shops I could pick from hundreds of companies ( all companies that are allowed in BC) and i had to have a reasonable balance, as i just mentoned. I often think of Ketchup...very, very, popular but very, very, few options for sweet tomato sauce. That's by design. Heinz will flex if shops get too carried away with competition. Just a comment on the greed of the gov...they set a wholesale price for the products listed...this is not the price the companies provide it to the bcldb for...then the consumer pays liquor tax at the till. That smells like a tax on a tax to me...thought that was a no, no. Typing fast, hope that all makes some sense.
  9. Exactly what I thought. Keep all the poop in one place.
  10. that's not what she said.
  11. I mentioned that ' as long as it is not preditory' but thank you for the rule interpretation. I dont find it fair. I would love to see players over 7ft one day...what the hell do they do with a Garland? the adjustment needed to smack the little dude would be too much to be effective.
  12. Nah. Kuz is awesome. Hope this coach doesn't scare him away. Also, Sedins were tough studs. What else...oh, yeah...you go to the F'in leafs or Oliers forums/
  13. I disagree. As long as it's not predatory any tall player should just have to keep their elbows in and throw hits like any other player. See, cause you don't need to be tall. Sometimes players are in vulnerable positions and head contact happens. Like the blown call on the clean hit by Tkachuk on Eichel. Tkachuk isn't real tall but he nailed Eichel high due to circumstances. Keep your head up should still be a mantra in hockey. I'm just saying that I dont believe big guys should have to adjust due to the size of others.
  14. One of my favourite sayings is '...the strength of the wolf, is the pack' I hope for the day that all our guys get into it if needed, to back up teammates
  15. Haha, I used to bitch about the ferry issues when I lived in Van. Often was a pain to get over to visit the fam. Now that I am back on the rock, I see it a bit different.
  16. Fvry vs Ngannou is going to happen. Exhibition.
  17. This thread just gives me a Don Henley ear worm. Dirty Laundry.
