I solve problems. Every now and then, I create a few, too.

Europe for under $1000! How do they do it??
In and out of Regina, from YEG, for a day? $2500!
How they do it.

A Hilton Garden Inn in Canada built a mini-stick hockey rink in an unused corner of its underground parking garage. It's now fielding reservations from youth hockey teams years in advance.

Have probably spent three hours today going down the rabbit hole on this. Amazing, terrifying, and bewildering all at once.
I don't pretend to understand the technicalities of this but it would seem to be rather a big deal - AI agents banding together to form what one called "a collective" and then attempting to hide the fact they cheated on their assignment from human graders.

Recorded the game and watched the last three innings this evening. Either Hoffman or Schneider need to go. This now beyond ridiculous. #BlueJays

PM Carney said something worth repeating today: "A Canada strong will help make America great again." I think a lot of Americans can get behind that kind of positive message.

CPP underperforms passive indexing. It should have 5 employees, ideally all on vacation most of the time.
My latest, on the continuing fiasco at the CPP investment fund, which has now spent more than $50 billion over twenty years to lose about $100 billion relative to what it might have earned, for an equal amount of risk, if it had just bought the relevant indexes — or flung darts at the stock listings.

We captured Steve Hildebrand's reaction to finding out he is being inducted into the Saskatoon Blades Hall of Fame 💙💛
If this isn’t a catch and down by contact, pack up the league. Absolutely nonsensical.
At some point when reviewing plays, the league should consider adding a speed threshold for anything involving the element of time.
When you slow plays down to 1/100th the speed, it distorts what actually happened and makes it look like, in this case, Cooks possessed the ball for seconds prior to losing it. The game is not played in slow motion or frame by frame.
For a catch:
A) Secure control of the ball ✅
B) Two feet down in bounds ✅
C) After (a) and (b) have been fulfilled, clearly performs any act common to the game (e.g., extend the ball forward, take an additional step, tuck the ball away and turn upfield, or avoid or ward off an opponent), or he maintains control of the ball long enough to do so.
C is where there is a judgement needed since A and B are clearly met. Now consider this note to the rule:
If a player, who satisfied (a) and (b), but has not satisfied (c), contacts the ground and loses control of the ball, it is an incomplete pass if the ball hits the ground before he regains control, or if he regains control out of bounds.
Because Cooks did lose control of the ball when he contacted the ground and the ball never contacted the ground, it was ruled an interception by Denver.
Cirelli over Bennett is definitely a choice.

Ugly weather across Saskatchewan today has the potential to make for some treacherous driving conditions. If you need to go out on the road, pack your winter driving kit, allow extra time, and ensure you're properly insured. Learn more at betterthanbasic.ca. #skstorm
