Nah bro, she dislikes diamonds for pretty much the same reasons most people here do (artificially increased prices, man made ones are just as good if not available in as large of sizes, conflict diamonds, conspicuous consumption, and so on). She's said that she'd just want some "antique looking"...

CBC's is okay:Medals - Sochi 2014 - CBC Sports

At our belated VD dinner last night, the special lady friend and I were discussing our mutual friends' recent engagement. The couple that originally introduced us to each other got engaged last week. The dude makes good coin, and got her some 10k+ monstrosity. I asked my special lady friend what...

Should have been: USA 1776 Canada 1812 Look it up.

Nah, it's because it's boring. The Canadian women team plays against Midget AAA teams (so top end 15-17 year old boys), and are about on par with them:http://www.edmontonsun.com/sports/co...09826-sun.html So the absolute best adult women have their hands full beating teams composed of teenage...

Don't worry, I've managed to choke down the urge to give her shit, hence my need to vent about it here.

I've got a fair amount of soreness in my chest, shoulders and arms from my arms being ripped back and up by the snow. But it's just sore muscles I think, nothing that should bother me long term I would hope. And yeah, it was a fun trip for sure.

Even if that's the case, in my fantasy world all airplane tickets would be strictly based upon the weight of you and your luggage. Fuck fees for checked or carry on luggage. I'm not a fat fuck, nor do I bring half my wardrobe with me when I travel. I'm sick of subsidizing fat pack ratting fucks.

Despite being a few years older, it would have been twice the car for basically the same price. But in case you missed it, I said that wasn't the point. The point was she paid at least 20% too much for a used car for no good reason other than impatience and not wanting to sack up and dicker with...

heh, all that is fine and dandy, if she were buying a new car. She was buying a used car from a dealership conglomerate's surplus lot. So not only did she not try to get 5-10% off the list price of the car at least, but she also had to pay 5% sales tax that she wouldn't have if she found...

I'm fine with that.

Shit man, I've already paid for half of the Matrix! And truth be told I would have happily got her something, but she wanted to do it herself until she realized the final price tag of the car she wanted. And naturally being a girl, she paid list price without even trying to negotiate with the...

She didn't seem too concerned last week. I even remarked that we had said no presents, which I assumed to include cards, and she said she'd gotten me one because she was buying an engagement card for our friends anyways.

haha!

Went cat skiing at K3 Cat Skiing for three days last weekend. The snow was incredible, as it snowed 4-5 feet just before we got there and through our trip. The terrain was pretty mediocre, as the stability is horrendous right now. You could frequently feel/hear big "whumps" from weak layers...

I went cat skiing for Valentine's day. It was awesome. The special lady friend told me a couple weeks back that we weren't going to do presents, which was fine with me. She did give me a card the morning of the 14th as I was packing up to leave. We're going out for dinner tonight, so I'm...

Next time bro.

No, not really.

Were those baseball wins "best on best" though? I thought that the MLB didn't participate in the Olympics? Excuse my ignorance! As far as hockey goes, I suppose you guys will be happy to know that this is the last "best on best" Olympics for male hockey in all likelihood. It'll go back to a...

Men's Olympic hockey is very competitive, and it's only truly been "best on best" since 1998. Prior to that the best North American players never participated. Canada, USA, Russia, Sweden, Finland, Czech Republic could all win any given year. Past that yes, the competition gets thin. But that...

And the US teams will win 98% of the time.

Thanks bro! I hope that you don't manage to take anyone with you when your crazy ass tries to mass murder a bunch of classmates or coworkers or whatever.

Baseball and softball are pointless being in the Olympics because one nation dominates them to the exclusion of all others. There's no competition whatsoever. And yes, you're right, for the most part outside of the US no one plays baseball or softball other than a couple oddball former US...

Terrible. I'm kind of petering out at around halfway through Dragon Age Origins. Prior to that, I was about halfway through FF7. So I've still got to polish both of those off at some point. Installed Sleeping Dogs to see what that was all about, and it looks pretty awesome a couple hours in, but...

El Nino is looking very likely in 2014 or 2015:El Niño may make 2014 the hottest year on record - environment - 10 February 2014 - New Scientist Also, last night it snowed a foot where I'm going cat skiing this weekend, and that shit is supposed to keep up for the next week. I'm so hard right...

Methadone?

What Smedley apparently meant, and what Curt has always claimed, was that Chaffey scared off the investors with his public comments. It wasn't about finding dollars to keep it going for another week, it was needing another week to seal the deal with investors. Whether that's true or not, I have...

I posted that a few days ago man! Well, for a lot of the "push" sports like bobsleigh, skeleton, and luge generally they don't grow up doing the sport. They play other sports, whether track and field or football, and then end up going in to those push sports. That's what happens with most of...

Agreed. But the regimented nature of the aerials really detracts from what the sport could have become. So instead we now have slopestyle and shit like that. I mean how fucking awesome would it be to watch two skiers ripping down the course, launching 720's with sweet grabs and the like side by...

Still have the same 2009 335xi coupe w/ a few Dinan mods, I've posted pics of it before. I was thinking of keeping it for another couple years as I still love driving it, but my bro offered to sell me his 2010 535xi wagon, which I'm thinking hard on doing. It would be much more practical for...

Even better when it's two dudes. Personally I look forward to doubles skeleluge. It'll just be two dudes 69'ing the whole way down the track.

Ah sorry, didn't trace the discussion back to Vinen's post. I say go for it! I'd consider a Model S, but they're just too fucking big and I don't trust EV's in Edmonton's climate.

And that's only ever going to be a problem for the most wealthy people, not someone financing a 60k truck @ 9%. Although I suppose that debt doesn't follow you in to the grave either. But your kids of family might not appreciate your estate evaporating once all the bills are paid.

I can see both sides of it. There's no question that in North American society, your car is one of the most visible signs of your supposed success, and naturally many people make poor financial decisions in order to look good or feel good about themselves. And many people think "afford the...

I will cut you, I swear to god.

And don't forget to keep in mind that in many countries with "single payer" healthcare systems, that the healthcare system itself is often run on a state/provincial level, which makes the "scale" argument completely irrelevant. Canada does not have a national health care system, despite what you...

That's exactly what happened, yes. Up above, we have Merlin pretending that he didn't see my direct question.

Canada's only done well in the Winter Olympics since 2010 (or 2006 I guess, a lot less golds though). Prior to that, we performed quite poorly given the nature of the sports and the size of the country and funding:Canada at the Winter Olympics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia So it's good...

Huzzah! Revelstoke, British Columbia - 7 Day Weather Forecast - The Weather Network

Wow, it was pretty incredible to watch Lyrical stroll in here and single handedly lose the capitalism vs. socialism argument in about 5 posts flat, despite most people here probably agreeing with his basic premise (pure Marxism is bad). Impressive! China is state-controlled capitalism. The vast...
