Yeah.. I booked it. You have to register for MasterPass, and pay through that method. You can use any credit card, though. I used my Visa. Decided to 'splurge' and go with 2 queens instead of a king. Ended up paying 36.25 CAD.

LAKE ERROCK (NEWS 1130) (http://www.news1130.com/2015/09/25/worst-commute-winner-four-hours-good-day/)– This week’s winner of our Vancouver’s Worst Commute contest has a doozy of a drive – from Lake Errock east of Mission to Richmond and back every day!

Steve Araujo’s girlfriend nominated him, and it’s no wonder!

“It’s about two hours on a good day to three hours on a bad day — and the bridge was out last week in Dewdney! So I had to go around through Agassiz, into Chilliwack, back into Abbotsford, into Mission to get all the way back onto Highway 1 to come into Richmond. It was taking me over three hours.”

Even with that, there’s no way Steve would move closer to Richmond and his job of 20 years.

“The prices in Vancouver for a house are driving people out to the Valley. To be able to afford a house with property, you basically have to live [in the] Chillwack, Mission area — Lake Errock where I live. I love it out there. It’s great; the lake’s right there, it’s peaceful, it’s beautiful. I wouldn’t trade it for the world, but the commute in Vancouver is getting worse and worse as the years go on, and with the bridge being out last week, it was crazy.”

I would think you'd have to be a masochist for spending 4-6 hours a day in traffic. Over the course of a year, you would have spent more than a month in your car, just from commuting. That's a lot of time taken away from relaxing next to the lake. I wonder how much it costs him in gas and maintenance, and if it's worth trying to find a lower-paying job closer to home.

[Jmac]

The cost of driving his car an average of 25 hours/week for work is likely costing him more than the mortgage difference.

[Hondaracer]

What an idiot

[vitaminG]

really depends on his hours of work. if he travels during rush hour, than hes a fucking idiot. but if its during off peak its probably closer to a 90 minute drive, which is long but doable.

[Gucci Mane]

still an idiot either way. buy a house out in the valley and rent it out, rent a townhouse or whatever close to work. the house in the valley will build your equity so you can buy a house in richmond eventually.

or, if the only way you can afford to buy is to live way out there and commute everyday, then fuck it. rent close to work and enjoy the rest of your money. just need a fucking roof over your head at the end of the day, who cares if you own it or not.

I'd say just get it in Canada. Because when you factor the 4.5% tax, and the possible tax on top of tax when bringing back to Canada, any saving would be wiped out instantly.

Better yet, buy an iPhone 6/6+ from people who are upgrading and still under warranty. Then get Applecare. So you should save some money.

should you? if you like indie and/or japanese niche games or game on the run - yes
there's been a few decent ports. downside is they don't get updated like they do from main console.

what to look out for?
there's 2 versions. the older OLED and the newer slim model that's LCD. they're pretty cheap these days and if you're going used they can be found for $120-150 with some acceessories. I myself have the slim model w/ the BL2 bundle.

I'm told OLED is brighter but LCD has better battery life

vita memory is proprietary, therefore overpriced ~$2/mb
4mb memory card is useless. 8mb is BARE minimum 16mb probably ideal and 32/64 if you d/l games from PSN

if you're looking for a used one make sure it's 8mb memory minimum. more the better.

You cannot right turn on that intersection before the bridge during rush hour except for buses.

I forgot to mention that there will be no duty since they have been away for ~7 days. I ended up getting the 64GB iPhone 6 for US$679 after tax, which comes out to < CDN$900. Retail price in Canada is CDN$899 (pre tax).

So my question now - does the Apple Store here still give out nano sim cards for free? :)

You cannot right turn on that intersection before the bridge during rush hour except for buses.

I googled mapped it trying to find an HOV sign or no right turn on Oak st. Then looked at 70th ave, I think the cars being pulled over were on 70th ave eastbound turning right onto the bridge on a red light. There's a no right turn on red light sign on that intersection.

If your alarm is using the tel line to dial a monitoring station, then I would suggest you don't trouble shoot it yourself and have them come out to correct.

[jing]

From experience, the telco always blames the alarm company for their own shortcomings. If it was working fine before the telco technician came to do whatever and it stopped working after, doesn't take a genius to figure out who most likely messed it up. On the rare occasion, the dialer relay on the alarm board may be sticky, and won't release the line. Anotjer potential fault is the 8 pin jack that the telephone lines goes into before feeding into your alarm panel that can go bad as well. The most likely fault has to do with a bad wiring job by whoever touched the lines last

Update on the telephone jack issue I was having. After the line goes to the alarm panel then back to the main panel, it split off into a number of directions for multiple Jacks. One line shorted so all of them stopped working, except the direct one to the alarm panel. Identified which was shorted and disconnected that one, luckily it was for one we never use, so I didn't need to replace that wire.

Yep. Tried twisting, pulling, pushing up and then twisting. It seems like mine is mounted directly into the ceiling? That's why I was asking if there's a pin or something I'm missing that you need to push/pull in order to get the damn thing out. Also, you're apparently supposed to cut the power to it since mine is hardwired, does that mean I have to flip the breaker for the whole suite? Wtf, why couldn't it have just been a battery one -_-

I have a Kidde brand smoke detector, installed in 2013. About 1-1.5 years in, it started randomly chirping so I just changed the battery, but not sure why yours is chirping!

Mine has a "tamper resistant pin" that you have to pull out before twisting the detector to remove it from the mounting bracket. Google search for a Kidde user manual and you should be able to find a diagram.

Apparently they have a service where if you are a senior and pay them a $120 one time upfront fee, they will file paperwork for you to the Canadian Government for a property tax reduction and a fixed property tax rate forever.

Yeah, i saw that...but nothing's really built there yet. I don't think its gonna be completed til next year.

Someone recommended Club 16 in coquitlam
I checked it out and it seems pretty reasonable...$16/month, $30 annual fee and something like $40 one time fees.
What's the catch with these?

I'd try out the community centres nearby but i think it was like $600/year
:fuckthatshit:

you should check it out and then find something in the mean time till its finished.

Club16's catch is, $16/month and everyone wants something cheap. So you end up with 1000's of idiots using/breaking machines constantly.

And for trucking companies door to door varies from (400-700$ +tax)

I was very fortunate to find Canadian Freightways. They have a depot in toronto and burnaby! With the option of dropping and picking the package at the depot the price was slash drastically.
I paid 260$ tax in with 1500$ value insured.

LOL. Moron tries to carjack a ghost car.

SURREY (NEWS 1130) (http://www.news1130.com/2015/11/10/surrey-rcmp-car-jack/) – Surrey Mounties have arrested a man for apparently trying to car jack an RCMP ghost car in Newton last night.

It happened at around 6 p.m. in the area of 71st Avenue and 135th Street. Two officers inside the vehicle identified themselves as police when the suspect tried to drag one of them out of the car.

“This had the potential to be a frightening incident and we are thankful that our officers were in the right place at the right time to take this person into custody,” says Corporal Scotty Schumann. “The suspect got the ride he wanted, but probably not to the location he was hoping for.”

The 25-year-old from Penticton was already wanted on an outstanding warrant. He is now facing the possibility of robbery and breach of probation charges.

[mickz]

15 people is quite a small party. My suggestion. Host the party at your office if its possible. This way you guys can go as late as you want. Order catering service and bring alchohol. Rent a karaoke machine, you will be surprise how much people loosen up after some drinks. Photobooth is also an excellent is also fun for the guest and makes for good bonding experience.

So as I was leaving Metrotown @ closing, there were police, sirens blaring, headed into the underground parking, and as I was driving towards Willingdon, an Ambulance was headed towards Metro too

can anyone recommend a female walk in doctor in Burnaby/Burquitlam area?
asking on behalf of a female friend who wants to consult on female-related issue

you'd think this shit will be easy to filter/find online but its hard as fuck.

Dr. Karen Wardill at Kensington Medical. Not the greatest, but she's a she.


Go on-line and check out when she's there. If she's in first thing in the morning, line up at 7:30. As in, you line up while she waits in nice warm car. She'll be first one in. Believe me you, if you get there after 8:00 am opening, she'll be waiting for up to two hours or more. They do give you a number and approximate wait time. You can shop and come back later.

Will Best Buy honour future shops extended warranty?

They honoured my laptop extended warranty no problems.

[6o4__boi]

yeah i figured before opening time would be a good idea.
Thanks!

i've only ever gone to walk-in's during times when i thought i was done for...waiting's always a part of the experience.

Does it really take 4 days for a TELUS technician to be available? Ill be 4 days without internet, tv, and home phone. Ridiculous.

Be happy you're not in Northern Ontario where it took me two weeks to get Shaw to come set my web up.

Chill and deal with it. Go to Starbucks, another thing we don't have up here...

Futureshop was always the shittiest to buy from IMO, try LD like suggested above.

Curious question: What are the crows going after chewing up everyone's lawn like they do? They rampage some, and then take it easy on the others!

[corollagtSr5]

Crows dig up chafer grubs. They probably spread out to forage and when one of them cah caws they all flock to that lawn and rape it.

Does anyone know the rough cost to vinyl wrap something like a 4Runner in just a basic gloss colour?

JN & Z Deli on the Drive is open again. I gave up on ever seeing them again, but it looks like the renovations are over and they're back!

Best smoked meats this side of the Atlantic.

[PiuYi]

I noticed the crows started doing it once the green bins were put in use, no garbage to eat so they resorted to grubs i guess.... also they look bigger n stronger now, the weak crows probably all died :lol


anyone know if Richmond Centre still does the gift wrapping by donation thing?

[GLOW]

raccoons get in on it too. they're the ones that really turn over your lawn like it's sod

[MG1]

I have no lawn left. Okay adding up what's left, I'd say I have about a third of my entire front lawn left intact after it got fucked over by the 'coons.

Wait till spring when I put in the artificial stuff with razors buried just below the surface. That'll learn 'em.

Just wanna ask a question about tvs without posting a new thread lol...so here goes.

Does anyone else agree that 1080p television with native 1080p content and feeds, is good enough? I see this new 4K UHD and there is so much details, is like I don't even think I can see that much fine details with my own eyes! I mean if your watching something from your own eyes and live, I can't see every fine hair or leaves of the grass like I do watching it in ultra hd...dunno if you know what I'm trying to say, its almost like 4K UHD is more then the eyes can see unless you record it and watch it on again on a TV or computer! 1080p content looks pretty stunning already, 4K more impressive, then now they talking 8K or something, when will it end? How much higher def do we need to go?

BTW, what DEF is watching movies in the theater?

[underscore]

The thing with 4K and even 1080p is that even if you have a matching quality source you still need to be watching it from the optimal viewing distance to really get the most from it. For 1080p that's about 2x the diagonal of the TV (so for a 50" TV, 100" away) but for 4K it's closer to 1.5x. Since most people sit a lot further than that away from their TV it's really a waste of money IMO.

[Hondaracer]

Anyone who argues 4k isn't a noticeable improvement has not seen a proper setup.

IMO it is an amazing step in TV technology. While it's only Netflix and a few apps that currently stream native 4k content, there are still thousands of hours of content.

Not to mention good sets with good processors do a great job at upscaling

Purchased the 55XBR850B last winter, every single
Person who has seen it at my place has remarked how good it looks.

There is a lot of contradicting opinions online, however almost every single person with a 4k set will promote it and the people pushing against it do not have one. Really hard to make the decision on your own until you've seen a set properly setup and calibrated outside of bestbuy etc.

Also keep in mind, you need minimum 18mb/s connection to stream native 4k. If your connection is slower than that or being bogged down by downloads etc. the netflix app will not even display 4k options

[underscore]

^ serious question, how much of the noticeable improvement comes from the 4k and how much of it comes from other improvements in video quality that you would see if the same hardware was 1080p?

More importantly actually, how does rather poor quality stuff look? Some of the old stuff I have isn't even 480p, but if it won't look any worse than it does now on a 1080 screen then I might go 4k for my next set.

[Hondaracer]

The XBR is obviously sony's top line. However, my parents ended up replacing a 8 year old Panasonic with a $900 vizio 4k set. While the overall picture is not as good I feel like the detail is definately noticeable, even from their relatively good 1080p 3D projector.

720 and lower I can't really speak to much anymore as we no longer have cable. I remember some stuff looking just terrible where as some older movies etc looked alright

Think with 480 is you're making up a hell of a lot of lines of resolution in order to display the picture.

You may know it ready, but a 4k set is -always- displaying 4k resolution, regardless of the input feed. So depending on the TV's processor, that is a lot of blending and creation of pixels which do not even exist with the content

[AzNightmare]

Might be a dumb question... but I bought a 4.4L jug of Mobil 1.

http://i65.tinypic.com/2v3sz84.jpg

How do I use these markings??
I'm not sure what those intervals represent.
It doesn't even go up to the top of the container anyhow...
:considered:

They're typically supposed to be marked like this?

[MG1]

Probably 500 mL each interval

Bought me one of these last week while in Bellingham Costco. I think they were $19.99 US. Love 'em. They came with carrying bag and a pair of nice side mirror covers, which aren't in the video below.

[freakshow]

old, but good.. (and timely!)

Before you read this: Please don't judge me... I'm just sharing my story because people asked...
Wow... okay, I wasn't sure if I was ever going to tell anyone about this, but it's late and I'm sleep deprived so i guess I'll just write it now and regret it in the morning :/
First of all, - just for some background: My mom died right when I was born, (she was actually really, really hot- but this isn't about her. I guess that's fucked up to say, but whatever.) I actually grew up with my dad's family, because my dad has all sorts of emotional issues and he bailed before I was born. So you can see, my childhood was really kind of messed up.
Anyways, growing up I feel like there was always a lot of distance between me and my sister. When I was about 17 or 18 I first noticed that my sister was a hottie.
I don't want to go into too many details about it, but basically what happened is that I accidentally found a video that she made of herself. I knew she didn't make it for me- but I thought she was so fucking beautiful that I watched it twice. I probably would have watched it a hell of a lot more, except that like right around the time I found the video, all this crazy shit went down and I had to leave home. (My dad's family who I was staying with got in bad trouble with the law. I never talk about it).
Sooo... I was totally lusting after my sister at that point. She was also having bad trouble with the law. She was actually in custody when I left home.
My friend and I went to go pick her up. When I saw her that day, after seeing the video, I have to be honest, I just wanted to fuck her brains out. Looking back on it now, it's pretty messed up- but I think she had feelings for me too. She actually kissed me right after we came to get her... and it wasn't a sisterly kiss, you know? I mean, it wasn't like ridiculously sexual or anything, but it definitely wasn't sisterly.
After we left, we all went to crash with my Sister's friends. On the trip there, my friend sort of implied that he wanted to get with my Sister, and I got a little jealous. He's a good looking guy- and even though she was my sister- I just felt like he was competition. Not much else happened between us for a while except some maybe-sexy hugging.
Pretty much everyone in my life at that point was wanted by the government, so we all moved around a lot. I'm not saying that I'm proud of it or anything, but it was kind of an awesome time.
My friend and my sister never hooked up I don't think- but I thought there was some serious sexual tension going on between them. It was around that time that I got really badly hurt in an accident. It was fucked up. I almost died. But when I was in recovery my sister came to see me, and out of the clear blue sky she started gives me this awesome, slow, passionate kiss on the lips.
Sadly (although, I guess for the best) nothing ever came of it. We spent some time apart... and I started to get really religious, so I tried not to think of her that way. It was actually going well for a long time- like I was totally over her. But I have to say, like a year or so after all that stuff went down, we were out sailing (not like a date or anything romantic like that), and she was wearing like the hottest bikini I've ever fucking seen and it brought back all the old feelings. Sigh.
A little while later she actually wound up with my friend from before (the sexual tension guy). I can't say I was surprised.
But even after she was shacking up with my friend, there was one time we were at a party... my friend was inside, and my sister and I were outside alone. It was a really intimate moment. I think something might have happened, except that I killed the mood when I told her that Darth Vader was our father and that I had to go face him.
