Canadian couples only have sex doggy-style, so they can both watch the hockey game.

As an added bonus, I can also use my wife's lower back to rest my poutine. She says it provides a nice warming sensation.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That way you enjoy your poutine as you enjoy poutine.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

Yo dawg, I heard you like poutine...

Followed by X-Files of course.

Neutral Zone Kush hits hard.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Personally I'm all about that Exclusion Zone kush

If thats a STALKER refrence Im playing through those now to get ready for the new one.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Hell yeah. In Anomaly after I've been some brain destroying psi fields and having mutants fuck with my mind I like to wind down with some premium quality Exclusion Zone kush.

Did someone say turnover? 'Cause I've got the munchies

They should start calling Canadian pre rolls 'one timers'

standard North-American sized

Can we please standardize handling of dashes in multi-word adverb-adjective phrases?

Option 1: North American-sized (most common)
Option 2: North-American sized (as seen in the article)
Option 3: North-American-sized (makes most sense to me)
Option 4: North American sized (Edit: added based on @[email protected]'s comment)

None of them need dashes. I guess two is my favorite if I have to have a dash.

There is a standard, compound modifiers preceding the noun. There are also exceptions, proper nouns and their transformations don’t get hyphenated.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Phrases containing a proper noun should not be hyphenated.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Joke's on you, there is no noun

The phrase does not contain the word "America". Look again.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

You win this round

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Did you just denoune America?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I see what you did there.

"America" is indeed a proper noun. However, the phrase does not match the Regex expression \b(America)\b, where \b means a word boundary.

On behalf of all Nordic countries, I approve of this.

Makes sense. I'll never know how big 'a football field' is as I've never seen one. I assume it's just under half a hectare (which is 1 hectometer on a side).

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Including end zones, an American football field is precisely 360 feet long and 160 feet wide, or approximately 110m x 50m. The area is 1.32 acres.

It's precisely defined so I'm okay with it being used as an area of length or area, especially since virtually all Americans have personal experience with football fields, having at the very least been required to run four laps of the quarter-mile track you usually find wrapped around one.

I can't dunk too hard on a country with federally legal weed.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Or just say 14 by 14 meters?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

The regulation appears to be based on the area of the plot, not the dimensions. By assigning explicitly annotated dimensions it can confuse the intended message more than using a goofy but useful analogy.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

What a terrible measurement. They have to put in the title and margins the size of the rink just so people can understand it
