Just heard on News 1130 that transit is using copper to stop the spread of viruses and bacteria. Copper kills 99% of bacteria within an hour of it ending up on it. Great.......... cost of Copper going to, as danned puts it, skyrocket. Probably not, but I remember seeing this about copper years ago when I was looking up copper as a material people wear to lessen the effect of ailments.

My mom believed it, and wore copper bracelets.

Edit: just heard the news story again. No mention of viruses. Well, fuck, then. What’s the point? Lol.

Where/who did you guys go to get your wills done?

[Hondaracer]

Where/who did you guys go to get your wills done?

Cost?

We used legalwills.ca and I was happy with it. Cost about $250 I believe including power of attorney.

I got a quote from like a “boutique” place in north Van that was going to be $1200. It’s only my wife and I and ours is not very complicated. Our assets, our home, our investments, and then life insurance, critical illness policies, and a pension.

I know a couple people in finance who poo-poo these online wills seemingly just because they think they are “better” than somthing like that. However my parents who have substantially more assets than we do and far more complicated circumstances were also told by my dads company lawyer (a major insurance company) that unless you have business interests or other things that get very messy and complicated in a will, the online ones are perfectly fine.

And imo the reviews of places like legalwills.ca reflect that

Looking to renovate a couple rooms in the basement with some new flooring.

I pulled off a bit of the carpet and under the carpet padding is some sort of tile.

House is originally built in 1955 and I'm not sure of its renovation history pre-1990.

Would prefer not to have to take off the tiles if I don't need to due to asbestos concerns.

Thoughts on just placing luxury vinyl plank on top of it?

I've been looking at the Lifeproof stuff at Home Depot that has underlayment preinstalled, would that act like the carpet pad to help level the floor?

Without knowing whether the original vinyl flooring material contains asbestos or not, it would be potentially opening a bad can of worms. Typically, it's safe as is left alone, if not disturbed, ie sanded or scraped or crumbling. it's fine if you install your new vinyl on top, effectively sealing it in.
You'll then only have to worry about it during demolition, which there is probably more asbestos in other areas of the house

The underlayment does just that. If you are picky, you may end up seeing more of the floor contour (if any) due to the long and pliable vinyl planks, vs the thick carpet

[fliptuner]

That's exactly what I'd do. Pull the carpet and install LVP over the tile.

Might want to look for the install instructions for whatever flooring you plan on using. The laminate I'm using allows a few millimeters of uneven floor over a 1 meter span. I needed to level out the floor before I applied the laminate.

I bought the flooring, put a few pieces over the bump, and yeah, it's not going to go well. Noticeable gap between flooring and the existing tile. Might be less noticeable if the flooring is cut smaller vs. the full plank, but I dunno.

I'll do some research, but seeing as I can't sand down the tiles due to asbestos concerns, I'll probably end up pouring some self-leveling concrete over it unless you guys have a better idea.

[unit]

need some suggestions on how to secure my window mount cat perch better.
the manufacturer supplied suction cups but they failed several times, and so i tried using self adhesive hanging hooks instead to sling the webbing from the perch onto. that worked for a while, then failed as well.
the bigger cat weighs 12lbs but since they hop on and off it all the time, there is a slightly higher requirement for weight than that. it's the adhesive that is failing not the hook itself.
what would be a semi permanent solution for this?
i thought about putting 4 hooks instead of 2 to equalize the weight, or putting a wider strip of adhesive film on the area then glueing the backing of the hooks to it... any better ideas that i'm not thinking about?
doesn't help that those command hooks only come in 7.5lbs max.
there are plenty of similar hooks on amazon that advertise heavier weights, but its amazon and there is so much falsely advertised junk on there..

[GLOW]

might help folks if there's pics of the product you're trying to mount, and where near the window? near it, on the sill, moulding...what type of window for that matter.

in my mind to support decent weight i'm picturing anchoring a product like a floating shelf like mounting a heavy picture frame. drywall screws or anchors of sorts but don't know how close you're getting to the window.

so the top suctions are not holding, and the regular adhesive hooks failed as well, but lasted several months.

maybe just superglue the flat metal backing of the hook to the glass? that's the only thing i can think of, but just worried that removing it later will be difficult.

[SSM_DC5]

Rode in a new crv today and the auto stop/start at traffic lights is annoying. The vibrations feel like stalling time and then more vibrations when starting back up.
The cvt transmission noises are so loud too.

I drive peasant cars with no features so this was a new (and unpleasant) experience.

[Hondaracer]

I have a 2020 Ford transit with the feature, hate it.

I feel like it’s actually borderline dangerous for things like turning left at an intersection etc because mine has quite a delay/shudder when it starts back up. No way for me to permanently disable it either as it’s a fleet vehicle

All cars will have the feature to disable it with a button. But only some cars can have it permanently disabled. Some will always be on when you turn off and on the car again which resets the cycle.

I drive peasant cars with no features so this was a new (and unpleasant) experience.

My aunt has a range rover and the system itself isn't bad, I've driven her car before. If it actually saves gas, I would totally use it and I wouldn't mind it.

The problem is, there is no way to permanently turn it off, you have to manually turn it off every engine start.

She also had two faulty batteries in four years. I did some digging and it may be because of the start stop system putting too much stress on the battery? Not sure if it's actually because of the stop start, but to have two batteries go in four years seems odd.

[lilaznviper]

the problem is it is a range rover

friend works there and they always have cars coming back in for warranty on electrical issues. Pretty much if you buy a ranger rover, get ready for it to be in the shop majority of the time.

[PeanutButter]

^I think most people who buy a RR know that. But, she's told me how many people comment on her car and she low key LOVES it.

She told me the other day, she had to drive this lady from church to an appointment and the lady told her it was her dream to sit in a Range Rover because that was her dream car.

That statement is one of the reasons people buy the cars they do. I guess i'm spoiled because all my friends and family seem to have a "luxury" car, so the wowness factor just isn't there for me anymore.

[Hondaracer]

Thing with RR is the average person can’t tell the difference between a 2004 RR sport that costs 7k now and the 2020 version that costs 90 lol

Paint Apps like behr (iirc u have to log on to the US app store to get it) will give you a colour code for whatever photo you submit, I've tested it with a wall of mine, and it gives you multiple results for you to choose

Luckily with the results the app gave me I was able to remember the name of the paint I used

So you could try an app but the fact it gives you several results should tell ya it's not too accurate

[Hondaracer]

Either Behr or one of those companies has an app that you can buy a paid little peice of hardware, it looks like a button

You place this button on whatever you want to match and it will give you similar colour codes and paints from all sorts of paint manufacturers. I forget what it’s called and it may not be that applicable to automotive paints but it’s really cool

I used to buy them a flat at a time, but getting them from the cooler is where it's at now. I don't know what's in that shit, but it's good. Maybe it's the slight alcohol content (0.1% by volume, lol). Imported from Sweden. No recycling fee or taxes. If you do buy them, don't pay for them at the counter where the food is. Pay for them at the regular self serve. When I buy that shit at the food section, I get charged tax. At the self serve, it's tax free. Like, WTF? BTW, recycling fee is great and all, as I return bottles all the time. What I don't like is the extra fees stores charge for handling on top of taxes and recycling fees.

I usually get my buddy to do and he just asks for beer, but he moved quite a bit away so I'm looking for local guy. Just want to get rough numbers.

How much oil is needed usually?

My z4 was 5qt = 150-180$ no matter where i went

X5 is 7qt, so probably closer to 180$

How much oil is needed usually?Is it possible to do it yourself? BMW usually quite easy, filter is on-top, just gotta drain it. Or you can buy a power bleeder to suck up all the oil and do it all from the top.

^ I don't get it

They get the bear to make bear sausages (buddy used to do it a lot)???? hence leave the paw?

I woudl think it was of an asian descent, the paw, the inners are super valuable (not allowed to take)

[Hondaracer]

Well it’s either used for Asian medicine or native people using their hunting rights to poach and flip the claws

The issue is that the rest of the bear was likely left and the paws were just hacked off, taken home, de-clawed and then dumped

Is it possible? Yes, most definitely.

But, I just don't want to change oil. Not sure what that says about me, but I found a colleague that said he'd do it for $50 + the cost of filter and oil so I told him, sure.

Thanks, it seems it's about $150-200 depending on where you go. Appreciate the feedback

Anyone has worked with a home builder contractor? or known one that has a descent timeline and quality build? I'm planning to re-build a home in Burnaby. Thanks!

Costs of filter and oil are gonna be 120$ :troll: but srs

Your like most, its simply not worth the time to DIY your own oil. Its cheaper to pay someone to do it, no pickup, disposal, setting up your car, or doing the work

iirc sunny mentioned having a travel show for the discovery channel, but it got shelved after some re-wrangling of their show lineup by the network

So he had the know how/crew to make TV quality productions

My cousin hung out with him once when he was in town, said he gave off an arrogant vibe off camera. He seems nice enough on camera to me lol.
I find that my palette is very similar to his because I also like spicy so I have a habit of re-watching his videos before I head to a specific country to eat! He actually found a couple spots in Van that I didn't know about - I went to try them and enjoyed it. Like Joojak on by Joyce Station for Xian food.

Agreed, they had good chemistry and Sunny is a good host.
I also tried watching some of her solo stuff and couldn't get into it.

I usually cross-reference Mark and Mike, if they both said it's good it would be on my must-eat when I travel. But I don't like how Mark basically never says anything is bad
You learn to read his "orgasm" face and body language haha, the more he leans, the better the food like a taste-o-meter haha. But I agree sometimes it is too much.

Anyone know how to troubleshoot wechat on ios?

My mom's wechat doesn't let her make or receive calls, it just shows the app trying to make a video/voice call then it says the person must be busy

The only way I've found to get it working again, is to reinstall wechat for her, but after a day it messes up again

I don't use ios or wechat so I can't figure it out

[punkwax]

Did she update her iOS? They have recent new privacy enhancements so maybe they aren’t playing nice anymore because wechat

[StylinRed]

I think it might be a pop up asking for permission to access the local network, previously told her to just click no to all requests, but that's a new one with a delayed popup that doesn't come up when I reinstall her app

So far so good but guess I'll see

Also didn't mention that I eat quite a bit too (not as much as him, he can really pack it down) so his buffet recommendations were perfect for me.
I went to the Lobster buffet in Taiwan, A-MA-ZING.

Shin Yeh has a good Japanese-style buffet as well.

ICBC Insurance Question

Hey RS,

I have an old bimmer that's probably only worth $5k at most.

I was just wondering if you think it's worth it to get collision and Comprehensive coverage. Are those two mandatory?

I was thinking, if possible to only get basic insurance and third party liability.

If i decline collision and comprehensive, I would say almost $500 for the year.

If i decline collision and comprehensive, I would say almost $500 for the year.If daily driver and you drive on hwy alot, I would say comp is worth it just for the windshield deductible. The one time I didn't have the $300 deductible for comp, I paid $500 or $750 (don't remember) on two cars each FML.

Collision probably not worth it. Only thing is that if you mess up, deemed at fault for the accident, and it's a total loss, you won't get paid out.

I'd compare if the car has part out value vs market value as to what ICBC would give you for the car.

Unless this is something that's changed in the last few months, I'm going to have to disagree.

Personal experience from last March is that I was in an at-fault accident, had my truck written off, and got paid out within 2 weeks.

Just made some Japanese somen. It'll be nice and cold by tomorrow..........

Hiyashi soba is not my thing, but somen........... nothing like it on a hot day. Ice cold tsuyu with thinly sliced shiitake and onions. Chopped green onions on top. Pass the tsuyu through crushed ice just before serving. Shiitake and onions added after the crushed ice, of course.

https://pickledplum.com/somen-noodles/


Secret is to rinse the noodles well and form them into balls, using chopsticks. Don't overcook the noodles. I don't use ice on the noodles. Let the ice cold tsuyu do the magic.

I'm going out to grab a generator right now

I just need it to power a fridge n freezer tomorrow while I get my service upgraded

Any recommendations?

OMG! I make my own mochi at home for new years, using a National Mochi Making Machine. I inherited it when my mom passed away two years ago. Anyway, the hardest part was measuring and soaking the sweet rice properly (overnight). Not too long or too little. My mom used those cheap, plastic dollar store colanders. Always broke or had large holes. I thought, there must be something better. I didn't like the mesh ones as they got crushed or bent out of shape easily. Well, I found these and they finally went on sale on Black Friday. I got to use them for other than making sweet rice.

So good these are. I don't have use for these large colanders for any other purpose than soaking sweet rice. Today, I used them to make the somen noodles. Instead of making a half package of somen, I used all of it. Used two 7.5 quart mixing bowls with the zwilling colanders.

If she had the opportunity to use them she'd be like, "Good choice." Nothing replaces well designed tools that are meant to last.

I always try to buy the best of even the most mundane pieces of kitchen equipment bcuz my mom is very much the opposite, and it always drove me crazy, so once I started making my own money I insisted on replacing all her little kitchen utensils and gadgets with the best I could find, that colander looks perfect, thank you :D

My daughter celebrated her birthday the other day. She wanted to spend some time with the old man. Being the only surviving parent and never knowing what the future holds, it made sense. I was thinking of usual stuff like canoeing or karting, which she doesn’t like. She like escape rooms, so we went to Evolve on Broadway. I haven’t had that much fun in quite some time it took a while to get used to the VR equipment and the controls, but it was a complete hoot. We chose the space station scenario. It wasn’t too hard or overly simple. I thought I would struggle, but it was relatively intuitive. My daughter was thinking old man wouldn’t survive. After all I grew up with no technology. In high school, we used slide rules. No fancy calculators or computers of any kind. We had cars……. horse drawn carriages were phased out, lol. Anyway, in the end, dad saved the day and solved the problem. Space ship did not crash land and millions of lives were saved!

[MG1]

I purchased this from Sakuraya (Kim's Mart) on Broadway last month. I'm now on my second pouch. This stuff is amazing. Not quite sure how to describe it. When I first opened up the package, I was like, WTF did I just buy?

https://jalna.blogspot.com/2019/06/kikkoman-shaku-shaku-shoyu.html

Lol, I didn't know the pouch had the zip lock opening feature. I just cut the package with a pair of scissors and emptied the contents into one of those cheap, always on sale, Anchor Hocking, Canadian Tire glass containers. Anyway, the whatever it's called, is one of the best new things I've tried in the last little while (gotta get out more, I guess). Follow bcrdukes, perhaps?

While on the topic of soy sauce............

https://www.kikkoman.com/en/shokuiku/soysaucemuseum/difference/index_en.html

I'm more a Yamasa kind of guy, but there are times I like the Kikkoman. Kimlan, no thanks. That shit should not be used with any kind of sashimi or sushi. BTW, I'm talking regular over the counter, peasant, soy sauce. Like whiskey, there are amazing soy sauces out there that are rare and expensive. Like kinzanji miso (a little off topic here). A distant relative on my brother-in-law's side, makes kinanji miso in Japan. Not available to the public - only to the Imperial Palace. My sister got some samples of it and holy bejeezus, cannot forget to this day how amazing it tasted. Flavour of the gods came to mind.

Is that the same place that has the VR for zombie attack? I was going to go with a bunch of friends last year for his birthday but then this small inconvenience regarding gatherings happened so it's been on the backburner ever since and we kind of forgot about it ... maybe later this year. :thumbsup:

[Razor Ramon HG]

Any gardening pros?

https://imgur.com/a/DKY9FKu

My dad has a small vegetable garden that he's been maintaining for the past three years. This year it seems to not be doing too good based on what I hear from him.

There is a plot in the garden where nothing seems to be growing. The plants in there are of melon or zucchini, I have to double check. They're the same size as they were like a month ago and the leaves look like they're dying. We changed the soil in that area about two weeks ago with a triple mix from Home Depot.

I am wondering if he planted the small plants too soon so they're dying quickly in the new soil. Then again, I think he's probably been doing it the same way the last couple of years so I think it must be something else.

There also seems to be some plants in areas that are just dying for some reason. Perfect example would be the pepper plant in the imgur link. The other pepper plants in that area seem to be fine.

My dad will randomly sprinkle this white pellet thing that he says is a fertilizer on top of the leaves. You can see it in some of the pictures. I think that's the cause of the white spots on the large vegetable plant in the last picture.

Any immediate things I can do to help with his garden? I saw some fertilizer at Home Depot the last time we went where we dilute it with water and spray once a week. Would that help?

Thanks.

[Hondaracer]

I’d say stop using the fertilizer on the leaves to start.

If the soil was too rich/hot right off the bat it can stunt growth. Hard to tell in this case but if the soil hasn’t been amended with say, potting soil, compost, manure, etc. In quite a while it may be lacking nutrients then. It’s kind of hard to tell. The growth looks kinda normal but I dunno

I’d maybe get somthing very mild like a kelp or alfalfa meal and amend it into the top of the soil with fingers or a rake and then water it in. Some compost or bags of “living soil” might be an alright top dressing

Edit* the dying pepper plant almost looks like it could be overwatered. That could be the culprit all around if he’s been watering heavily

How loose is the soil? My mom was an awesome gardener. She had a green thumb. Me, not so much. Three years ago, I had zucchinis that made even the best Italian gardeners in the neighbourhood green with envy. Last year, I had wimpy dying plants. This year, my daughter wanted to grow some eggplants. She purchased a few plants and did all the work. The plants are now dying or completely dead. She thinks I'm overwatering. Could be, but I've always watered the plants the same way. I looked closely at the plants and it hit me. My mom used to really pack in the soil. I think my daughter didn't do that. So last night when the sun was setting, I put in more soil and packed it in. Too early to tell, but that might be the issue with the eggplants. Loose soil allows no protection for the roots.......... that's the story I'm sticking too, so I don't get labeled an eggplant murderer.

Some more background - In that open space where nothing is really growing properly, he said he dug up the soil a month ago and found it was all hard and yellow or something along the lines of that. Then we bought some triple mix and plopped in the plants. He's been using this fertilizer that comes in a white pellet (that you see in some of the pictures).

But based on your comments and what others have said online, I think it's a mix of a lot of things - lack of nutrients, the soil not being packed properly and possibly overwatering.

Will head over to Home Depot tomorrow, buy some manure/fertilizer, come home, mix the triple mix soil more, pack it in, then plop the manure/fertilizer on top and go from there.

Triple Mix - https://www.homedepot.ca/product/vigoro-x-triple-mix-garden-soil/1000683911

That is the triple mix we used.

Fertilizer - https://www.homedepot.ca/product/miracle-gro-water-soluble-plant-food-20-20-20-680-g/1001593994

Thanks.

[Hondaracer]

The triple mix seems like it’s probably ok. Pre-mixed bags seem to always be lacking in quality, but that is the right mix. If you’re going to add some manure or somthing else once again you will have hot soil which can benefit plants in mid growth but may be hard to start new plants in. You might want to grab a small bag of seed starter and plant the bulbs etc. Into a small hole filled with the seed starter so the roots grow out into the nutrient rich soil

Also you can never really have enough drainage if you add a bit of perlite or lava rock

[MG1]

The best soil, bar none is the Sea Soil. Costco had them, but sold out. I purchased a few bags while they had them. You can get the sea soil at Gardenworks or Mandeville on Marine Drive. I tell you, that shit works like nothing else on the market. BTW, my daughter used garden mix that I had lying around and not the sea soil. I put the sea soil on top of the eggplants later, btw.

https://www.seasoil.com

Oh, forgot to mention. Sea soil is a no go for roses. It will ruin your roses. So far, over the years, it has turned my gladiolus and Dahlias into monsters. Berries of all kinds love the sea soil. Green onions and garlic, too. My rosemary plant turned into a humongous, out of control, bush. Lavender so much so, I had to cut the thing in half.

If you are transplanting, there's this solution that Gardenworks sells. It's amazing. It's in concentrated liquid form and really easy to use. My Bloodgood Japanese Maple was rootballing (I think that's the term). EDIT: The proper term is Rootbound. I purchased a giant muck pail from Princess Auto. drilled a few holes at the bottom and transplanted the tree into it. I put down a layer of river rock then added potting soil, sea soil, and pumice. I used the transplanting solution and crossed my fingers. The tiny, Charlie Brown tree went from two feet tall to six feet tall and 5 feet wide in two seasons.

Princess Auto sells out of these in less than a couple of days all the time they go on sale. However, Home Depot has red ones on sale every Canada Day for $12.00??? At least for the last three or four years. I can't be the only one who uses these large pails as plant pots..........

Where do people look for jobs these days? I've had the same job for 11 years so I'm a bit out of the loop. I've been poking around LinkedIn and I'll be looking at Indeed tomorrow but I don't know of anything beyond that. I'm looking for remote work so anything international is good too.

[6793026]

linkedin jobs. if you've been working for 11 yrs, you are a solid worker who's loyal. any recruiter would hunt you down and get you to apply. go look at your competition to ensure your resume is up to date.

Walked past the BC liquor store this morning and there was a rather long line up at 8am that wrapped around the building. Confused so I asked a guy what's with the line up. Apparently Ryan Reynolds has signed 100 bottles and distributed them to 5 different stores in BC. 20 per store and theres a line up here of easily 50 people lol. I can't understand for the life of me figure out why they'd be in line knowing 100% they're not getting one.

People are stupid :lol

2016 women's olympics


Gold medal:
Sukanya Srisurat
Body weight - 56kg
Highest snatch - 110kg
Clean & jerk - 130kg

Then there's Laurel Hubbard in 1998, waaaay before the transition and he's only gotten stronger since 2013 when he switched.
Body weight - 135kg
Snatch - 130kg
Clean & jerk - 170kg
Total = 300

Is this the start of how "inclusion" will work? At this rate they might as well get rid of women's sports and just pool everybody together.

eventually with enough participants i feel they should just create/include a 3rd group comp to group together or pool it all like you said Stewie and not hand out medals at all and go by points system or something by country? :shrug:

My friend is saying Laurel loses to women quite often, and that Laurels lost to Sarah Robles (team usa) twice, who's in the same category as Laurel for the Olympics, so they're not worried

She's kind of changed her tune, as she was complaining that Laurel takes away from a biologically born women's hopes n dreams of joining the team

Might be a good solution since trans individuals don't want to be called 'he' or 'she' ... it's 'they' so let's do what they want.

You can't refuse to be called 'he' or 'she' and insist on participating in the she group of Olympics or sports.

Laurel doesn't need to win. In fact, I bet she won't, and people will use her loss to justify her (or others) participation in women's sports. Anyone who says otherwise will be criticized. But just give it a few decades, and we'll see the true impact of this move.

It wouldn’t be so bad if they were all safe riders. Some of them don’t follow the rules or think about the safety of pedestrians.

That area is super busy with bikes and people criss crossing allover. I'm surprised there aren't more accidents there.

1 amazon warehouse in the UK dumps millions of unsold products a year, from expensive electronics to crap, not returns mind you

Amazon destroying millions of items of unsold stock in one of its UK warehouses every year, ITV News investigation finds


Products that were never sold, or returned by a customer. Almost all could have been redistributed to charities or those in need. Instead, they are thrown into vast bins, carried away by lorries (which we tracked), and dumped at either recycling centres or, worse, a landfill site.
Here I thought they auctioned it off on pallets, there's video in the link btw

Even if they're safe riders, at least there are barriers along the Olympic village side (tap and barrel). The dragonboating area all the way to science world is a free for all. How do you expect a safe rider to stop in time if someone or animal runs out into the bike lane. Almost like they ran out of money and decided to paint the lines and fuck it.

So the bad area in my dad's vegetable garden still remains a dead plot of land. I think we'll leave it as is for the rest of the season and figure out what to do with it after.

Meanwhile we've taken out some of the pepper plants and planted them in containers. Decided to dip my toes in gardening and I now have a small garden of vegetables grown in grow pots now - peppers, tomatoes, broccoli, and bitter melons.

Waking up every day to check on the progress of my vegetables has been very rewarding.

One question for my gardening friends.. when I water my plants, I notice the soil moves quite a bit. I'm thinking of putting some cedar mulch to help deal with this and to keep temperatures a bit more stable with the blazing heat.

Any recommendations? There are tons of different type of mulch.

[Hondaracer]

Cedar bark chips are quite acidic

It doesn’t look the greatest but rice hulls from brewing stores are my go to for mulch. They are about as benign as could be and provide good coverage

[underscore]

My wife swears by coconut coir (sp?) for retaining moisture.

[Razor Ramon HG]

Another gardening related question.

I have five bell pepper plants ranging from 7 to 11 inches tall.

These are all starting to show little green buds with some that have already flowered with a tiny bell pepper fruit. These buds are all near the top of the stem if it matters.

Two images - https://imgur.com/a/70kZr2o

I keep reading that I should be pruning the first couple rounds of buds off so that my plant will continue to grow taller otherwise their height growth will be stunted as energy will be primarily redirected to the fruit.

Thoughts? I am not sure the standard growing season in Vancouver and if I remove these buds if there will still be time for more peppers to fully grow.

[PeanutButter]

So my cousin got a lotto max ticket from his aunt for his birthday and he hit 6/7 numbers and it's worth about $3k (surprisingly not very much for hitting 6 numbers...).

The aunt is now asking for half of the winnings.

This is crazy, right? or is there some unwritten rule that if you give a lotto/scratch ticket you are entitled to half?

My cousins mom is telling him to just give her sister half because she doesn't want any bad blood, but my cousin doesn't want to, he said he would give her a couple hundred. He's 45 if that makes a difference.

Kind of a weird situation.

[Razor Ramon HG]

Lol, your cousin's first mistake was telling people he won.

In my personal opinion, your aunt is wrong. Just because she bought a winning ticket doesn't mean she is entitled to half. I think it's nice of your cousin to give her a portion of it as it is.

But at 45 years old (I thought he was much younger at first), $1500 should not be significant enough to his net worth to have bad blood with someone over. It'd be a lot different if he won the 70 million and she wanted half of that.

[MG1]

Indian Giver.

Oh…………. Can’t say that. Someone might get offended.

Why would the aunt want any money? If she’s that kind of an aunt, just give her back half and have nothing to do with her from that point on. If it were me, I’d just give all the money back to prove a point.

If someone gave me a winning ticket, I’d automatically give them a cut as a thanks. But when the person who gave the ticket asks for some money, that’s not cool, in my books.

[SkinnyPupp]

Being greedy is one thing, but actually asking for half the winnings, she has no shame whatsoever. Wow.

Also $1500 can be a lot of money for someone whether they're 45 or 25 or 15. Come on. :rukidding:

Lol grossssssss

Buy her another ticket in return and say take a hike. That shit is so gross.

[bobbinka]

tell everyone you're donating it to a good cause cause it's not worth having family fight over the money. see what she's got to say after that.

also, i am accepting donations.

[Euro7r]

She bought your cousin the ticket for birthday (it's a gift for birthday). Would the hell would ask for half the gift back, then why the fuck did she buy the gift (ticket) in the first place if she has no intent to sincerely giving it to your cousin?

Just take the entire winnings and just buy the whole family gifts, then she can't bitch about the money.

[fliptuner]

Give her half of what the ticket cost. Stupid cunt.

If I gave someone a ticket that won $3k, I'd be happy for them. If they offered to take me out for drinks, or dinner, that'd be a sufficient sign of gratitude.

It's sad that she shows her true colours over 1500 bucks.

Wait. Is your cousin's aunt, your mom? :troll:

[PeanutButter]

..

Wait. Is your cousin's aunt, your mom? :troll:

Lol, no! I don't even think my mom has ever bought a lottery ticket.

My mom and his dad are siblings. The aunt is from his mother's side, which I don't really know that well. From what I remember, she seemed like a nice lady.

I guess it depends, $3k doesn't seem like much, but to some people it's significant. My cousin doesn't have a crazy job or anything. I think he makes $50k and has a family, so i'm sure $3k would help him out. I think the aunt is in her 60's and she's still working and i'm pretty sure she makes less than $50k a year.

So I think it's a significant amount for both. It's just a weird situation to be in because I think they both could use the money. It takes some gall to ask for half though, but I don't really know everyone's situation.

[PeanutButter]

If someone gave me the $70M ticket, I would feel obligated to give them a big chunk of the winnings... Maybe even half? lol I dunno. maybe I would feel different if I actually won

[StylinRed]

It's weird to ask for half, but if I'd won, I'd give half of whatever I got... However if they demanded (not ask) before I gave anything, I'd be like fuck u! :lol but if they asked politely I'd say "ya sure bud/of course"

[stewie]

Buy a new lotto ticket that was the same value and pick the same numbers and circle them as if you had already done so. Wrinkle it up a bit to make it look used and abused. Show it to them and tell everyone its not worth the fight for 3k and rip it up. If he's lucky she'll see the numbers on the shredded pieces and say fuck it.

Have a very trusted friend cash in the actual ticket for 100$

[CivicBlues]

Give'r $1000 in nickels.

Ya, if you won and offered to share the winnings voluntarily, that's the way it should be done (on your terms as you won the money). Asking 1/2 is just quite rude, I would tell them to fuck right off.

It was a GIFT, if I bought my cousin a Nintendo and 30 years later he sold the original Mario Bros cartridge for $5000 I ain't gonna be chasing him for half the money. That is ludacris.

I've seen some tight-knit families torn apart over money, it's a sad reality.
I have a friend who's parents siblings were super close, hanging out and going to meals multiple times a week. When the grandmother got older they started squabbling over who cares for her, or how the expenses were going to be split.
"Oh she spoiled you the most so you pay a bigger share"
"I saw her the least so I'll pay the least"
"you saw her the least so you SHOULD pay more, we put in physical time to care for her"
You really see the true colours of some people.

No never been at nightingale. I don't make it public knowledge on here, as I like to make sure my opinions represent me, and not the business if I piss people off, but if you ever wanna come in and eat just message me and I'll get a table sorted for you.

Will be messaging you now that things are opening up. Interested to see if I have been to your place or not.

Anyone seen this on broccoli before?

All six of my broccoli were fine last week, but I started noticing that some leaves were turning yellow/brown at the edges a few days ago.

This is the worst offender with the rest having minor degrees of yellowing at the edges.

During the three hot days where it was above 30 degress, I moved them to shaded areas since I read they tend to bolt when the soil gets too hot.

I read it might be a nitrogen deficiency, so I just did my biweekly 10-10-10 fertilizing of my plants.

Thought we had a thread on Bill Cosby, but I don't see one

Anyway, Cosby's conviction was overturned, and he's been released

https://www.cbc.ca/news/entertainment/bill-cosby-overturned-1.6086119

Bill Cosby has been freed from prison after Pennsylvania's highest court overturned his sexual assault conviction.

It is a stunning reversal of fortune for the comedian once known as "America's dad." They ruled that the prosecutor who brought the case was bound by his predecessor's agreement not to charge Cosby.

Cosby, 83, has served more than two years of a three- to 10-year sentence after being found guilty of drugging and violating Temple University sports administrator Andrea Constand at his suburban Philadelphia home in 2004. He was the first celebrity tried and convicted in the #MeToo era.

Residents of Lytton forced to evacuate. Fires. The entire town.

I got a call this morning from a guy saying he saw my ad for my grandparents 4Runner. I sold that back in October. I was so confused I didn't even think to ask the guy where he saw the ad.

Is that some kind of screwy scam, or did the guy just somehow find an old cached copy of the ad?

Suggestions on how to replace this flat roof?

Looked at some DIY videos where people would remove the existing material, clean the surface, lay on primer, put down the sheets of roofing, and then lay on a sealant layer.

Anyone try the new Tim Hortons cold brew coffee? Is it any good?

Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkIt's not terrible. Tastes more sugary than the usual cold brew I've had tho. It's like a more potent iced coffee.
