Izzy vs Bobby should 100% be in New Zealand or Australia

Possibly.

When they were initially relaxing the rules (masks optional inside, larger social gatherings, indoor high intensity activities, restaurants reopening for indoor dinning, provincial travel, Canada-wide travel, etc.)

I suspect if they had been a little more conservative with their reopening (reopened indoor dinning, indoor high intensity activities, larger social gatherings, small private shops [ie. Cafe's, sandwich shops, bakeries, less than, I dunno 20 people in the shop at any given time, etc. ] - masks optional) with things like large public cross contamination areas having masks still mandatory (public transit, malls, walmart, best buy, places with more than, I dunno more than 50 people inside at any give point - masks still mandatory).

I suspect people would've been understanding of that and perhaps we wouldn't be in the current situation with cases rising like they are and people would probably feel we are making slow, consistent progress.

• I'm just giving general examples to give the idea. I'm not saying they are definitively perfect

Good question. I suspect the fight location will no longer be in NYC, but we will see

Skeletons and political signs from ...a funeral home.

That's really in bad taste

He's doing what anti-vaxxers do and changing his goal posts now.

He said he was waiting for FDA approval then he'll get it. It got approved. He's still not getting it

...oh dude. Your lack of understanding of basic English is sad.

"Couldn't agree more" = "I fully agree"

They could've scaled back the initial mask mandate rather then cancelled it all together.

Ie. Instead of saying "masks are now optional, but still encouraged". They could've said "masks are still mandatory on public transit and in malls, but in that little mom and pop restaurant with seating for 10, masks are optional"

....that's from 9 years ago.

Your point may or may not be valid, but 9 years ago in the restaurant industry is like, a really, really long time ago

This question is waaay broader than you may think.

1) Cost of labour. - Cost of labour is way less in (most) Islamic countries. How much does a shirt or bus ticket cost over there? How much do the same things cost here?

2) Delegation of work - In my experience many Islamic groups have people from within their mosque/group that do a period of "community service" in aiding of the funeral process. This removes a huge cost of labour in Islamic countries.

3) Laws - because of point 2), many Islamic countries developed their laws with the understanding that their local mosque/community would "take care of their own" as it were. In western countries we had the days of the "wild west" where people were expanding into new lands without our own groups to care for us. It was effectively everyone for their own. This resulted in strong laws being created (and continually being created). This had a direct effect of funeral homes becoming businesses where money was exchanged for specific services with. Over time these roles became more defined and specialized. With any industry, more specialized skills =more cost.

4) Ego - Islamic funerals have a strong emphasis on minimalism and returning to the earth. The west which has people from different religions or non-religions has a greater amount of personal choice in things like caskets and cemetery property. Some people want property with "a nice view" or something. This leads to supply and demand = cost. Some people want a white casket, some people want a red oak casket, more variety = more cost to the manufacturer= more cost to the customer. Islamic funerals tend to be the same basic options everytime for every person, less variety=less cost.

There is plenty more, but I think this probably gives a quick, general answer.

Deceased not being picked up in a timely matter because my staff "turned it down" is a cause to be firrd

... because one of the cast members got her in.

Like if someone walks into the building with a main cast member, security isn't gonna stop them. They will say "Welcome in Mr Sanz and guest"

Give her a "promotion" to a role that deals less with coworkers and clients and more with paperwork and things that can be measured without emotions.

If she does well, great. If she crashes, then you can get rid of a drama queen with valid reason

Rory never had fight IQ.

That was the defining difference between him and GSP. They both had physical talents and skills.

• GSP was always an open mind, growing, able to adjust and adapt.

• Rory just plodded forward and smashed though.

What is one fight where Rory adapted and changed mid fight to get a win?

No for gay jesus

Aldo is looking good, but better than ever?

Really???

Prime Aldo was something special...

Here A peer reviewed study from John Hopkins University.

“Our findings support the idea that if you’re going out, you should practice social distancing to the extent possible because it does seem strongly associated with a lower chance of getting infected,”

Social distancing is a good deterrent to getting covid along with masks and washing your hands.

A restaurant at limited capacity is a form of social distancing.

I don't know why you would ask a random stranger to provide information though. Seems kinda dumb.

It would be much better for you too search yourself for a peer reviewed study from a reputable source.

But you don't seem interested in doing that as you can instead talk to random, unknown strangers on the internet with unknown credentials for your information. Again, seems kinda dumb.

It’s not the champ’s job to pick their opponents. It’s their job to defend against the top contenders. I think that immediate rematches need to be earned not given.

I'm a huge fan of Weili, but I completely agree with this

As I said earlier, don't care. Talking about general trends and the general populace

Not talking about you, as quite frankly I don't care. Talking about general trends and populace. Commuting by car is statistically bad for health for the general population

No shaming.

The GVR is growing and changes are needed.

Look at any mega city in the world. More lanes on the highways are not the solution.

We need viable, proportional transit options.

...and I say this as someone who loves my car and loves driving

What an egocentric and wrong statement.

Look who run the ridings in this area. More people supported the NDP last election in this area

Induced demand.

Building more lanes is proven to not have the result you want.

Proportional, viable transit options is the solution. -> we need trains.

There is a direct correlation between commuting in a car and obesity rates.

I'd rather live a good quality of life with my health intact than commute for a bit of extra square footage of my home

This comment has no concept of foresight or future growth.

Trains are what's needed.

The GVR is growing.

Look at any mega city. The ones with trains have better qualities of life
