Of all the things America needs to fix, adopting the f'ing metric system is pretty low on the list.
In other news, someone tell me how to feel about Luke Schenn at 2 yrs $2.5m? Seems like the ultimate Coyotes type move.

At the last moment (in the Senate if I;m not mistaken) an provision making it optional was added. Really only the drink industry went along which is why we sell liters of coke.
No worries, they'll block Canada.
We've gotta fix this traffic light.
Fuck that. The bridge over there is crumbling.
OK when's that getting fixed?
Meh.

Salaries and bonuses are getting closer and closer to ridiculous.
Which means we are nearing another lockout.
Stuff gets fixed here. It just takes a disaster to happen first. Minnesota fixed a lot of bridges after one of the interstate bridges in minneapolis collapsed.
Pay players for what they've done, not what they will do.
Must have become painfully obvious how much cheaper it is to just maintain a bridge rather than have to replace it.

I think you're right. I wouldn't be surprised if there was another lockout in the next two years
I thought the current CBA went up to 2021-2022?
You'd think that but......

Regardless of the size and structure of some player contracts nowadays, the total sum of all players must still equal 50% of revenue by year-end, so I don't think these big bonus contracts will really bring about a new lockout by themselves. All it means is certain teams will have self-inflicted cap wounds that they'll need to work around, or they won't be as competitive for a while and hopefully learn from their mistakes.
Leaf-wise, I'm OK with the Holland contract if only because it gives us a chance to still get something for him - I don't see him in the team's future at all, he'll be lucky to get a regular spot this season IMO.
Excited to hear about possibly getting Enroth though, our goaltending should be fairly set. He's definitely the best pick of the free agents - I think the only thing that concerns people is what the new smaller equipment will do to his game, given his small size already. Speaking of which, NHL still hasn't provided any final figures for those, have they? Cutting it kind of close for this season. . .

This might actually be worse than the anime scourge.
I see "contracts like X will lead to a lockout" all the time, but with the players losing roughly 15% of their paychecks to escrow to maintain the 50/50 split I'm not sure why so many people think that.

I live in a pretty urban area, work takes me mainly around urban areas but there are times I get to go out to properties way out in the mountains and it makes me want to drop it and move out here. I mean look at the view from the living room:
The only thing I use for metric is speed and distance in racing games. I love my km/h.
I've gone back to using Celsius for the weather on my phone so I don't end up only being able to think of temperatures in Fahrenheit.

I much prefer Fahrenheit for its livable temperatures range

There's still the DNC and the presidential debates later on. I'll worry if Trump somehow manages to get a lead during or after the debates.
That's really nice. I wish I have the opportunity to drive out of the city more often.
I went up north at a cottage for an entire weekend last month, and it's been a highlight for me this summer since I was just able to get away from everything.

Because players are demanding buyout proof contracts with huge signing bonuses..
And as if the NHL is satisfied with 50/50 split.

That is an amazing view. I share a similar mindset, was visiting friends in St John's, NL a couple weeks ago, and again I was just in awe of the vistas that are common there. Even being in my hometown for Christmas my favourite part is being down to the cabin and having breakfast with a great view of the frozen lake and tree line in the distance, etc etc.
Mentioned it before, but it's half the reason I golf so much, I play at Cardinal up in King. Love being up there away from everything after work.

Yay! Smelly and I are going to be roommates.
Loophole: I'll start dating Smelly's crazy ex-roommate so she's at the house. It will be bad for me as well, but I'm a malicious guy.
Do you have tattoos and are a bad-boy from a broken-down, incestuous dumpster-fire of a town?
Wait, Boulder, you'll be right her type!
This. The very first debate is the last stand.
Canada's way too close by. You're going to get all the fallout whether you like it or not.
Personally, I'm looking at New Zealand. Nobody's gonna nuke that shit.
I'll take you to Switzerland, just handcuff yourself to my briefcase for cover
Had to look up where King is, but that's not too far out of the city. Seems like a good distance to play golf away but still be close enough to the city.
Anyone who played Mario Maker, watch the latest SGDQ segment with the game: https://youtu.be/FJV86j1-DuE
Every time they do this I'm learning new things you can do with the game. I had no idea you could grab a trampoline, and wall-jump while continuously throwing/catching it, and the levels are all really fun to watch.

Should've said I don't quite understand why Cardinal deems its location as King, the course is actually farther north than what google maps will show King as.
It's more Newmarket-ish. Or at least right in between both.
Quick and zroid, what the hell is this???
