ok here's a question for you - would answering any of those questions change any of the FACTS? No. FACTS are FACTS. end of story.

do you cluless bastards even know what started this whole thing? Saddam was pissed in the 80's because the US was slant drilling into Iraqi oil formations from Kuwait. Thats it. Saddam said "stop...

lol, that'll get you an outhouse occupied by 8 other dudes hot-changing the bed. Plan on $900-$1200/mo to get a place that isn't under investigation by the provincial health authorities.

We need to do like England and ban tractor trailers from using the left lane on all highways. I know I'm not the only one who gets peeved by the braindead trucker trash that nearly sideswipe people...

To be an auto mech? I was going to say wash your face and put on some deodorant but you won't even have to do that. Walk into any shop and say "I'll be here 7am tomorrow. I'll bring my tools,...

you would if you worked 1 month on 1 week off, 12 hour shifts. You'd probably break 6 figs on tips alone - tax free, putting you way ahead of some schlub on wages. Thats alot of hours. Making 100k is...

Uh, $100 000 for 1 month on, 7 days off not including travel days IS shit money. Go wait tables at Swiss Chalet - you'll make more and be home every night.

Um, natural gas is REASONABLE right now, not stupid low. And oil is still in the nosebleeds. Oil companies will persure all avenues of production above $40 oil.

They hire hanicapped people at tons of places these days. If you can't get a job, pretend you're a retard. You'll be working in no time. Plus, you can score one of those handi parking permits and get...

The yield curve is old news, its inverted a few times since this spring but thanks for noticing... glad my money is far away from you!

:rolleyes:

Everything east of Alberta is Newfoundland, everything west is China.

I'm not going gaga for Devon, far from it. Jack2 is impressive, but its just a drop in the bucket and when you think of it, more supply is a bad thing for the oil industry right now. Look at any O&G...

That article barely scratches the surface. There is no shortage of oil, its all just alarmists and speculators blowing smoke up everyone's ass. For one thing, people look at world oil reserves and...

That reminds me of the Oil & Gas Expo earlier this year. The first day was wicked, you could go chat it up with HR honeys from all the big companies. Then once they mentioned the show on the news...

I can already see the headlines: Cowboys gets torn down. Calgary's STD infection rate plummets. With no one to buy them drinks, pre-pubescent girls resort to drinking mouthwash.

Yeah, 1st year is a real brain-teaser. V=IR. HOLY SHIT MAN CALL IN STEPHEN FUCKIN HAWKING!!!!!!!!!

If you get a job at Flower, try to design things that don't suck. The oilpatch will thank you!

sorry, I meant "real" trades. framing houses, resi electrical, laying bricks and other mindless grunt trades are dead easy to get into, yes. I'm talking millwrights and instrument mechs, etc. With no...

Like I said in another thread, there is no labour shortage - just a common sense shortage. These days, human resources departments are run by braindead knuckledraggers with degrees in basketweaving...

Yeah and unless you are a Jman or at the very least a 3rd or 4th year, nobody will look at you. (OK, Maybe the filthiest non-union shops will.) There is no trades shortage, only a common sense...

What type of stone? I'd be interested in working with natural stone rather than lockstone driveways or that fake stone panelling stuff. I work 2 weeks on/2 weeks off and I'm looking for a 2nd job...

I love all these complex mathematical formulae for working out a tip. And none of them jive, everybody's is different. And that's the crux: Tipping is too much of a hassle. You leave what you think...

I'd have to agree. Job-wise, Calgary sucks the root bigtime. For the most part, Calgary is just warehouses and offices and fab-shops, full of dead-end, low-paying, office or warehouse jobs or dirt...

I'm going to call bullshit on that one. The insurance company would ask what the circumstances surrounding the death were and as soon as they heard the words "alaskan fishing boat", the agent would...

Indeed. I thought that salary survey was BS, typical SAIT propaganda until I got into the field. I figured there was no way to make that kinda money right outta the gate. I bit the bullet and work in...

1 year of co-op is really good, thats how long it takes to get a new hire to a point where they are really useful all over. Make lots of contacts.

IMO, the pay difference between 3rd and 4th Class isn't worth it to take a 2 year course. Get your 4th, get a job, make money and have the company pay for your 3rd, instead of wasting another year in...

Collectively, AMA has probably studied much more than 3 semesters of accident reconstruction. They ARE experts, they DO collect and analyse Alberta accident data, (and you don't) that's why I quoted...

how about no, retard. Real tough guy. eh? Any time you little bitch.

Please don't foul the good name of the study of physics. You might have a point if the ONLY mechanism for accident avoidance was slamming on the brakes and coming to a complete stop, which...

It says MAXIMUM for obvious reasons, which I'll go into only becase you must be retarded. You need to accelerate up to 50 to do 50, so saying "do exactly 50" is stupid becasue then you could get a...

Many of you are so quick to piss all over anyone who even hints they are speeding, especially on a residential street, which I agree is wrong. But driving like a slow dumbass is OK? Doing 20 over is...

Closer to home, Bow Valley Parkway is awesome this time of year (less Deathstar motor homes going 17kph, stopping in the middle of the road to film piles of elk shit and dumbass bastard kids unning...

If you can sucessfully operate a light switch, you can rebuild your own damn turbo. $100 for a rebuild kit and $80 for a balance is a little gooder.

brazing is just high temperature soldering. And its one of the only methods you can successfully join most combinations of different metals as long as you are using a proper brazing wire, so whoever...

any caravan will crush your 323 if it wants to.

I'd be scared to punch a bum. What if you split him open and got HIV or hepatitis or crabs? Thats why tasers should be legal. Crispy fry that bum and his crabs.

anycar thats already turbod from the factory. Lets cut to the chase, you're going to do what we all do and slap a turbo on an NA car because you're on a budget, then one day you'll turn up the boost...

this is alberta, there is no emmission testing and you'd really have to lip a cop off before he got down on his hands and knees just to possibly stick you with a no cat ticket. removing the cat alone...

rightey tightey, leftey loosey
