Would you look at this @Undisciplined? Another great Canadian posting on SN.

One of you should write a post about why SN is so appealing to Canadians. It's wildly disproportionate.

The “good people” signal is high here.

Folks are respectful, which is refreshing in the Bitcoin space. Even on Nostr, a lot of folks forget the “Stay Humble” part of “Stay Humble, Stack Sats”.

We would have to do a full analysis. I am not sure we over represent broadly on the site. Maybe you are just naturally attracted to Canadians because you are a bit of a commie. Haha

I guess I don't know which reference point to use, but there are more Canadians than British Islanders, even though Canada has half the population. There are a lot more Canadians than Aussies and Kiwis, although the populations are similar.

It's harder to gauge if there are 10x as many Americans. Maybe.

I think that's right. I think more Canadians are bitcoiners than is typical in those countries.

I expect the Jays to be better than last year. That bullpen was abysmal. It can't possibly be that bad again and the first half of the season the "timely hitting" was embarrassingly bad. It improved in the second half but it was too late by then and they had already traded some pieces away.

One could argue the Jays have a lot of hitters with glaring weaknesses that pitchers can exploit in key situations and I think that is fair, but I think we still get some progression to the mean in terms of hitting with runners on base/in scoring position/key moments etc.

Mentally I am placing the Jays as a .500 team and wrestling with the homeless Rays for 4th/5th in the East but hopefully I will be pleasantly surprised and the run prevention focus will finally pay off.
