Jimmy was one of the few people I enjoyed debating.  He seemed to care more about establishing a thoughtful response rather than just attempting to claim moral superiority.  This place is certainly more of an echo chamber without ya, Jimmy!

I'd have to say it's much easier to become rich being a politician in the US. 

Having inside knowledge of which companies are going to be handed big defense spending contracts seems much more lucrative than being paid for "charitable speaking engagements". But corruption is corruption, it's all gross.

@#Canucks

Haha you're not wrong!

But there are certainly benefits to being the little buddy of a world superpower. They spend their wealth on weapons so we can spend our wealth on social programs

NHLPA would never agree, for good reason

This Global article has some interesting information about how this was a joint Can/US effort through NORAD.  I think it shows how strong our relationship is with our neighbours.

We are really outdoors oriented so I think we'll find plenty to do around Boise and Missoula! 

You feel like those cities are lacking amenities? We leave to see Boise tomorrow. 

We are moving because my wife is an American family doctor. We just started a family. We have a 4 month old! Being a family doctor in BC is really unsustainable (low pay, constantly on call, really hard to take holidays) so we are coming south. Currently live in northern BC.

Is there anything you like about Bremerton and Bellingham besides the access to hockey games? Haha

Makar every day

The label looks like it's mostly just caffeine, artificial sweeteners and some added vitamins. No different than Monster or Redbull.

If you want something post workout, look for something with protein.

If you're looking for a pre-workout fuel, there are probably better and cheaper products out there. There are countless powders on the shelves that will cost you less over time than buying cans.

I dont believe they are counting cases anymore. As long as hospitalization and death numbers stay low, restrictions will continue to loosen. 

At this point, I think they say no. 

If he was our asset, it would take quite the package to be thinking about letting him go.

Likely more than we want to spend. Hes the captain on a new contract and hes a known asset to them.

One of: Pettersson, Hughes, or a signed extension Horvat/Miller

Plus: Hoglander or Podkolzin

Plus at least a 2nd? Probably a 1st. 

Yeah there are beautiful blue groomers on the backside for the average skier. Enough variable terrain for any skill level.

That's a fair critique. Skiing in the interior, I prefer Red for my ski terrain but Sun Peaks for my apres 

Cute town for sure but I stayed on the hill so I didn't get to explore the town much. 100% worth the trip.

My all time favourite hill. Amazing terrain, no line ups. Only skied it twice February 2020, right before the world changed!

Love it!

Feel like that could only happen to the Coyotes though. They are too demoralized to break those passes up.

I think the adult thing to do here is to leave passive aggressive notes on the refrigerator and walk around with your headphones in the rest of the time so they cant talk to you about it.

Only? 

I thought I was being too chatty.

Nursing.  There is a such a shortage, you can sign short term contracts and work nearly anywhere.  

some early data suggests that mixing shots might actually have a protective effect.  

There hasn't been a ton of research on this yet but seems to be quite safe.

I also got the Pfizer vaccine.  Just had a sore arm and was tired the next day.  Nothing notable.  

@Twilight SparkleIt's good to feel a little sh***y after a vaccine!  That means it activated your immune system.  

I got Pfizer as well.  Sore arm for a few days.  Felt really tired one day, but pretty mild.  

Civic every day.  Re-sale value, safety rating, reliability.

I doubt he's moving back.  

If he's happy living in a red MAGA part of Michigan, he's not going to enjoy the culture out west.

Yeah it's the Pfizer vaccine that needs the ultra low temperature storage.  But I don't think you need to be worried about that.  They need to freeze the vaccine to keep it from degrading.  Same reason I freeze my steaks.  

The vaccine is a lipid coated strand of protein.  It would degrade naturally if we left it at room temperature and then it would be useless.  So if you have to develop it, ship it, store it and distribute it, you need to make sure it lasts for as long as possible.  

My wife got the Pfizer vaccine today!  I'll report back if she starts advocating for communism or whatever...
