    The person loads the gun and fires. The gun does not load itself. Pretty obvious. Ppl always look for reasons or excuses when ppl kill themselves. My uncle killed himself when I was 10 and I remember my grandmother never accepted he had mental issues until the day she died. He loaded his gun. He fired. The disease did not.

    CTE don’t make you load a gun and kill yourself. We have lots of reserves here in Manitoba. I’ve been to several. Camping and one time a friend of mine gave us a tour of his reserve, Simon was from a reserve and if anybody has ever been to one, I think ppl might understand that the mental issues start there. It’s a sad sad thing to see. It’s just the fact he made it out and to the nhl is amazing.

    I'm bummed to hear that about the recent Samsonite models. I guess that some things aren't made the way (or where) they used to be. I was looking at the Samsonite Classic NXT 3 Gusset Briefcase as a replacement for my daily. Makes you nervous when you can't just walk into a store and physically compare them. You just order it, wait until it arrives and hope for the best these days.

    I play Ultimate and coach my daughter's softball team as my main hobbies.  I enjoy golfing in the summer and skiing in the winter, but don't get out to do either nearly as much as I would like.  I used to curl a lot, but stopped when my daughter was born... I really want to get back into it, but don't know anyone who curls and is looking for an additional player.
    I'm also a gamer, mostly PC but some Console as well.
    I'm a aspiring maker/tinkerer.  I love woodworking projects and want to get into 3D printing and CNC but I just don't have the space for it yet, but hopefully soon.

    it's definitely not cheap, but generally really enjoyable with the right group of people. I don't enjoy golf with randos. It's best when it's a scramble-type event. 
    My goal in life is to be able to Fish in the early AM, golf during the day when it's too hot for the fish and the bite dies, then fish again in the evening. One day....

    Article doesn't lead me to believe they are in debt with $7M in reserves.
    What they are saying is:
    They don't know how to restore the season ticket base They don't know how to restore the standing in the community Improve infrastructure Rather then sell, get rid of the board and bring in people who can fix points 1 and 2.  Don't need to sell the club to do that.   For point 3, I find it unlikely a private owner is going to invest a bunch of their own money in infrastructure.

    Sard reacted to Rich in 2023/2024 CFL (Non Bombers) Off Season News   
    Who would even get the money when a non profit is sold privately?
    The article talks about how the club is in rough times financially, some due to the pandemic, some due to the record.  Club success is cyclical and that should not be reason to sell the club.
    The other they give is they need a new stadium.  If we've learned anything over the last 20 years, private owners aren't typically willing to put down a lot of their own capital to build stadiums / arenas.  Like it or not, this inevitably comes from the tax payer.
    So why sell the club to a private owner to reap that potential benefit?
    Don't like this one bit.

    I'm a landscaper by trade but I've been a hobby gardener for even longer. My wife and I are constantly carving out sections of our lawn to make space for more plants. We've put about 15 years of work and experimentation into our back yard and it's still getting better every year. This summer I solarized half my front lawn to make way for a new perennial garden... a section of my lawn has been infested with creeping bellflower for probably 100 years so it is not going quietly, drastic measures were called for... so I took my version of the nuclear option and killed it all off with cardboard and bark mulch. Soon it will habitat for the birds and bees, candy for the eye and food for the soul. Man I love working in my garden. Great exercise too. Can't wait for spring.

    Of all the quarterbacks outlined in the list above, the one I had particular fondness for was our current offensive coordinator, Buck Pierce. Yes he was on the downside of his career but I still thought he played okay if he wasn't too banged up. He could huck the ball and make plays with his legs. He was filled with heart and intensity. I just enjoyed watching him play. But yeah, he is turning out to be a way better coordinator than he was a QB, even at its prime. Always was and still is a favourite of mine.

    No thanks,  I'd rather not drive out of my way to a Wendys only to find out that the prices are hiked up because they are busier.     I'm pretty sure during the quiet periods that Wendys won't be knocking down the prices of the food items by a large %.

    yeah it's quite frankly offensive to everyone. Women just have to put up with being harassed and sorry men, you're just animals with no self control. 
     
    No the reason some men act like this is because they've never faced consequences for it. It's not OK to be a shitty person and the sooner crap like "well boys will be boys" goes away the better off the entirety of society will be.

    So we just accept that's how the world is that's that?? **** that ****. Long overdue for change and this is how it starts. You punish the assholes who maintain the status quo and teach them what's acceptable, regardless of testosterone or estrogen.
