Random, but have you ever watched "The Great" on Amazon Prime?

Nope. I haven’t good sir.

 

[Figgy44]

Nope. I haven’t good sir.

You should look into it. I think you might like it. (Amazon prime video in Canada)

Can you imagine if Fig was actually an Amazon AI that's obtained sentience, and has escaped into the wilds of the internet?

No?

Okay.

Just met Lanny McDonald in Nottingham (UK) for the world championships division 1A. Even if GB don't get promoted my day has been made

“It’s a $100 Ferris wheel” -my gf

Tbf it isn’t worth the price. Had to do it since I’d never done it before but I’d probably just do the shard if I went back to London.

So my first name is hyphenated, and the second part of it is Andre. Now I don’t normally go by Andre, but I’m in france so why not. Nobody could mess that up.

Somehow even that cannot be spelled right hahaha.

 

[Ace Rimmer]

Yeah, I'm more concerned about diabetes. 4 syrup?!

There's only one way to drink coffee and it's black.

Hey I almost never have Starbucks. It looked good on the menu and I thought why not, didnt know until after the fact that I was having glorified ice cream almost haha. Usually in Canada I enjoy timmies iced coffees, or I do 2 sugar 1 cream if it’s hot

There's only one way to drink coffee and it's black.

I guess some of us just don’t enjoy charcoal. Now a nice cappuccino with a bit of sugar on the other hand…

Anyways, my trip is over today. Heading to Charles De Gaulle now, sad that I have to return to my real life and realize that I cannot spend $100+ a day eating out and having fun

Finland - Canada quaterfinals going on now. 2-0 for Canada midway through second. I'm happy I haven't had time to watch Finland or have any expectations, and just turned this on. Need to see how Lucic looks like

 

[Ace Rimmer]

Would be nice to be able to actually watch the WC games or record and watch later, but trying to find just a schedule of games start times and broadcast details is infuriating at best.

Latvia - Canada semifinals tomorrow, something like 6AM for you guys. And sorry but I'm rooting for Latvia to go all the way to gold. There's like 12 planes full of latvians coming to Tampere, and a lot more driving. The athosphere should be crazy, latvians are one of the laudest fan groups in international hockey.

Weegar just got cross checked near the board, hit his head really bad. Skated to bench on his own, hopefully nothing serious.

Review going on, latvian might be get tossed.

only 2min penalty. But Weegar is back on ice

Weegs going Beast Mode. seems to be out there every second shift.

Fantilli with a great goal, Canada takes the lead for the first time, 3-2. Probably wouldn't be able to play this well if he didn't have Lucic playing with him

 

[Ace Rimmer]

Of course my app lagged and I missed it lol

 

[Kahvi]

And Weegar gets boarded again, looks like some bleeding this time, but nothing more serious. 3 minutes left, Canada is going to the finals.

Online English Vocabulary Size Test had to do this after a friend of mine sent a link

A lot of guessing was involved and I'm honestly surprise how good the score was

What the f*** were some of those words…

Is it embarrassing i did slightly worse than a non-native speaker as well lol

I admit I had to google what antonym means

 

[Figgy44]

I got 22648 (Top 5.59%) and I think I tuned out and perhaps mixed up some synonym vs antonym questions near the end.

I guess my vocabulary is pretty high. Only around 15%-20% of the words I've never seen before (so I guessed).

The fact it says that the typical vocabulary score is different by around 7000 points between Canada (ranked 5th) and USA and around 1500 between USA and UK seems a wee bit suspect though. Singapore is at 3 above Australia at 4 which is also bizarre.

 

[Kahvi]

For a lot of those words, I wouldn't be able to answer correctly to "what is the synonym for this word", but I'm quite good at guessing so "which one of these words is a synonym for ???" is a lot easier.

Tried this again, now it was 39% and level of an 14 yo teenager. A lot of guessing on my part, like I said.
