Got mine a few days ago. Girl was good (pyt from UBC nursing). I didn’t feel a thing. Sore arm that night because I slept on it. No reaction, as usual. The last thing I need is Covid that leads to long Covid. Not taking any chances. I’m not afraid of any Borg Nanobots.

Bivalent Pfizer, btw.

Pfizer, Moderna, Moderna, Moderna (bivalent), Pfizer (Bivalent). Somewhere in there is a quadrivalent flu vaccine. Oh, lame shingles vaccine and a double dose of Shingrex.

Same day booking from time I received invitation. Far cry from when Covid-19 vaccines first came out.

Any recommendations for places for sectionals/sofas?

Costco doesn’t have anything that really works for us weve been looking for a bit

Found one today from Laz boy for like $7000 though.. don’t really feel like
Dropping 7k on a sectional with a chaise but so far it feels and works the best :/

[donk.]

Don't know about you, but I like the Craigslist specials if you have time.

You can get a solid couch or sectional for 1/2 or 1/4 the price, and they are brand new. End of month when people are moving, people get desperate, and will take even less not to deal with it

Lots of people buy a couch, it "doesn't fit" or it's for their vacation home, and then sell it off for fractions of the cost.

Then you have 3k to blow on fancy dinners, car parts, or whatever else you want to spend your money on

Now that I think about it, almost all of my furniture is off Craigslist.

[Hondaracer]

We have a fairly specific requirement in terms of sizing etc. so I’m willing to spend more/buy new if the fit is perfect

But yea I’ve seen some crazy deals on couches on marketplace I would have definitely considered if they had fit, legitamite 12-14k couches in excellent condition for 6000-7000

Like the lazy boy ones are crazy comfortable but is it worth like double from a Costco or Ashley home etc. I dunno

[sonick]

I had mine custom ordered from bo concept for a specific style, fabric, and layout. Was just over $6k all in. This was pre inflation though ordered January of 2022.

[StylinRed]

Wasn't furniture shopping but strolled past the furniture section at the bay and what the fk, prices inflated insanely! Never imagined couches at the bay would be over $10K

[GLOW]

holy shit here i am too cheap to buy a $1k sofa man everyone here's a baller :alone:

[Manic!]

There is huge markup on furniture. Always haggle.

[Mikoyan]

I haven't been furniture shopping lately, so I'm not sure how prices have shaken out now but Prices went up about two years ago when anti dumping tariffs came into effect.


Upholstered furniture from China and Vietnam sold in Canada now is subject to country-wide duties of 295.5% and 101.5%, respectively, after a preliminary determination of dumping by the Canadian International Trade Tribunal.

CITT found “reasonable indication” that dumping and subsidizing of upholstered seating made in China and Vietnam has or is threating to damage Canada’s domestic furniture manufacturing industry. The CITT will continue its inquiry and expects to issue its ultimate finding by Sep. 2.

Twenty-eight Chinese manufacturers were assigned separate rates ranging from 20.65% to 226.45%, while seven manufacturers in Vietnam received separate duty rates ranging from 17.44% to 89.77%. A list of those companies can be found here.

CBSA launched the investigation in December based upon a complaint filed by Palliser Furniture and supported by fellow Canandian manufacturers Elran Furniture Ltd., Jaymar Furniture Corp., EQ3 Ltd. and Fornirama Inc. The move looks to limit the penetration of motion upholstery and leather stationary furniture from China and Vietnam into Canada. According to CBSA, the Canadian market for such merchandise has been estimated at $675 million annually.

[mikemhg]

We bought a sectional back in 2021 and we were shocked how much we ended up paying due to the above changes.

I love how regular Canadians have to now pay triple the price for furniture from mere years ago simply to satiate a few Canadian manufacturers that HEAVILY use and abuse the foreign worker programs, all to enrich some prick like this?

At that budget, I'd suggest checking out Van Gogh. Everything they do is 100% custom. The pricing is surprisingly reasonable.

Everything is made locally in Surrey in the same facility.

They have a very large, very nice showroom in Surrey where you can see almost everything in person before you order.

Typically, the actual purchase has to be done at a local retailer because Van Gogh doesn't sell to the public directly, they are the manufacturer and wholesaler. That gives you a chance to haggle a bit.

You can customize length, depth, height, cushion firmness, fabric, you name it.

One of the biggest complaints we had when buying furniture is how many brands insist on the back cushions being attached to the frame of the couch. This prevents you from flipping the cushions so they wear evenly over time (or to hide a bad stain haha). That was another reason we went fully custom.

[Razor Ramon HG]

According to a post on FB, the Chevron Parkland refinery is out of regular, so there's quite a bit of Chevrons offering 94 for regular price instead.

If anyone needs to gas up, might be worth checking out a Chevron first.

[Hehe]

If you are shopping for something very specific, where the official retailer's only work is really to order and get it for you, they are usually willing to offer very good discount on them as there's minimum work for them to make a few bucks.

My parents got their Eames Lounge chair, a very specific color/wood combination and they were able to get it for about 40% off after everything accounted (it was an out of province dealer, so only 5% tax) vs. what they'd spend with a local Herman Miller retailer.

I was able to order a niche Nikon lens I wanted for about 20% off... because it was a special order item and not something any Nikon dealer would stock.

And the reason was simple... all they had to do to make some nice dough off me was a few keystroke to order the lens from Nikon.

[nismodrifter]

We got our sofas made by Stylus. They are amazing. Would recommend. In future I won't waste my time anywhere else, will just go there again. Check them out, in Burnaby.

The other thing with that is, they don't have to eat the cost of inventory with an item like this. They order it and you pay right away and the item is gone, zero risk for them.

It's pretty crazy how much it sounds like the actual artist. Music nowadays is already tuned, altered, and produced so much through systems, but it'll be interesting how much even that will affect music in the future.

Maybe that's why so many artists are selling their catalogs off.

I thought it was only 12% when you bought a new car? Can you guys confirm.

New tax now unless the car is really old. Call your insurance broker to try getting the tax amount. Tax is no longer based on what you bought it for.

In 1927, Bishan Kaur left her home in Punjab, India to join her husband, the lumber entrepreneur Mayo Singh, in Canada. They helped shape the community of Paldi as a welcoming and inclusive home to people of all backgrounds.

Women like Bishan immigrated to Canada during an era of uncertainty for Asian Canadians. In the face of anti-Asian sentiments and policies, the Mayo Lumber Company was established by Sikh lumbermen in 1917 and employed South Asian, Chinese, Japanese, and white Canadian workers. The workers and their families called Paldi home until the 1980s.

Today, the historic site of the Paldi gurdwara remains a symbol of this inclusive, multicultural community.

From FB alone, I’d say more than half of people I grew up with or went to HS with who had a baby before or around 25 are divorced in an ugly situation.

Now I know divorce rate is probably around 50% so it’s not that abnormal, but when you have a kid as part of it, it gets substantially uglier.

Love the FB posts about their misery though

dont think you need 3 months to get that out of your system. really only 1 month of driving it everywhere and driving it hard will take care of that porsche fix.

i love love love love this program. if you factor in the cost of these vehicles and how much actual seat time you get out of it a year, this porsche drive subscription is great

It's a relative steal considering the monthly payment on these cars are almost as much as the subscription - a 718 GTS is $3k/mo over 6 years, a 911 is about $4k/mo. They provide the insurance, take care of maintenance, and have all the must have equipment on them too.

[westopher]

If I could take a month off work I'd consider doing a 911 for that month.
Maybe I need to look back at my last post in the real estate thread though and remember I'm retarded.

Anyone know a service/company in Vancouver where I can buy a bunch of shit off Taobao, send it to their warehouse in China and they ship it over here for pickup? There's one in Toronto called huijia.ca which apparently costs like $5 per kilo via sea freight.

EDIT: Not looking to go through an agent like Superbuy that does individual shipping or to do Taobao direct shipping. Just bang for your buck shipping for non-time sensitive items.

I think it's NA only though, like NA, Germany has Experience Centers where you can get track time and training.

Non-scientific bullshit observation about the Lower Mainland. But almost everyone I encounter that's non-white seems to be Indian now. And I'm not talking about the buddy guy Surrey type. The FOB straight outta Punjab type. Whereas 10-20 years ago everyone was some variety of Chinese. Where'd all you guys go? Did I miss a memo or something? :heckno:

[Badhobz]

its been going on for a while now
- cant immigrate directly to toronto or vancouver. gotta stay in butt fuck quebec for a while first
- foreign buyers tax
- anti china rhetoric by trudeau and friends makes a lot of mainlanders uncomfortable
- high taxes on everything luxury

but indians are probably just bringing over extended families while we only have 1 child policy kids so chinese population is dwindling.

also the local chinese population arent having many kids and instead wanna just become huge douches who just consume consume consume (talking about myself here).

[CivicBlues]

Yeah can confirm I went from the only yellow face in a sea of white ones growing up in the westside in the 90s. Then surrounded by FOB Chineses throughout HS/Uni and feeling othered most of the time.

Asian Baby Girls.

Asian Party Girls: Gangster wannabe Asian girls.

Asian baby girl (plural Asian baby girls) (slang) A young Asian woman who displays stereotypical traits such as enjoying clubbing, wearing excessive makeup and tattoos, drinking bubble tea, wearing revealing clothes etc.; Asian party girl.

ABGs typically like to hang with Asian gangsters, wear sexy clothing, drink Henny (Hennessy), dye their hair blonde, and carry designer handbags

TIL: If you live in a house in Burnaby with a driveway in the front of the house (your garage is in the front) it's actually illegal to park on said driveway b/c it's legally a front yard and the driveway is only for you to get your car out of your garage.

The rule is only enforced if someone else calls the city on you and you would be ticketed for parking your car in your driveway. :rukidding:

This is from the 2 bylaw officers who visited our home today and who were, incidentally parking in our driveway.

[Hondaracer]

It’s probably because you don’t own a portion of the driveway?

Pretty hokey rule though

[supafamous]

It’s probably because you don’t own a portion of the driveway?

Pretty hokey rule though

Even if it's your own property it's illegal - it's why we can't legalize our suite as our driveway can't be used as parking and we have to provide a parking spot to be legal.

Most of my block has parking in the front of the house and I'd say more than half of the houses have cars parked in the driveway. My neighbourhood is about 20% front yard parking too. It's a bizarre rule.

Why would a Singh play hindi music? Punjabi music all the way.

Next to the Sikh temple in Paldi Japanese workers build a wooden building that was used as a Buddhist temple.


Paldi, a multi-cultural community, has historic value in part for being the location of the 1917 Mayo Lumber Company sawmill which employed many Japanese Canadian workers. Having worked with Japanese Canadian men, mill owner Mayo Singh recruited them specifically for the new Paldi mill. During the height of the local logging industry in the 1920s and '30s, almost 20 Japanese families lived in Paldi and worshipped in the Japanese Temple, while the Japanese School was held in the local Japanese Canadian cultural hall.

The cemeteries with Japanese Canadian burial areas in Chemainus and Duncan have spiritual value as a reminder of the desecration, disuse and tragic interruption of the lives and history of the Japanese Canadians in these communities. The Chemainus Cemetery now contains a monument to the Japanese Canadians who were buried there. Today, these cemeteries are stops on the annual Vancouver Island Obon tour hosted by the B.C. Jodo Shinshu Buddhist Temples Federation.

Like other Japanese Canadians on the B.C. coast, the residents and workers in Duncan, Paldi and Chemainus were incarcerated in internment camps in 1942 during World War II, with properties and businesses sold, buildings dismantled and cemeteries desecrated. Due to these losses, most did not return to the Cowichan area; today these towns carry few physical traces of the early Japanese Canadian communities that existed there.

On a reg mon-fri 40 hr work week. Where you get 1.5x rate over 40hrs.
If the week has a stat holiday, does that contribute to your 40hr or no?

like Stat Holiday+8+8+8+8 + weekend (8 hr) = 48 hrs.

Is that paid out as 40 hrs @ 1.0x + 8hr @1.5x
or
Stat pay+32+8 = 48 @ 1.0x (where literally, only 40 hrs are worked, so technically no OT was done)

[Great68]

This one:


Is that paid out as 40 hrs @ 1.0x + 8hr @1.5x

A stat holiday is supposed to be considered a standard working day when not worked. If saturday would normally be OT for you, then it still should be OT even with a stat in the mix.

It depends on your work, if your stat days are paid or not.

If you get paid stats, then yes - it contributes.
If you don't get paid stat (ie. you're hourly), then no it would not count to the 40 hours.

Edit* to clarify, for most people, your stat is paid - but there do exist exemptions.

I've always paid it out like this

32hr Regular 1.0
8hr Stat Regular 1.0 <-- BC and Ontario mandatory pay but based off experience half the employers don't pay this but also due to employee not knowing. Back in 2017, I got back paid 9 days for this. B.C. it's for hourly employee need to work 15 of last 30 days, Ontario you just need to make sure you worked the first and last shift.
8hr OT @ 1.5x <-- employers may try to screw you on whether is OT or not.

Looking at buying a car, it's 2015, but has never been registered. Owned by the owner of a large dealership.

Punched in the Carfax vin, and it shows "no registration records found", no nothing.

Anyone who works at a dealer, care to chime in? I guess I would be the "first owner" and the the first record would be once I bring it in for an oil change or such

I think it's fine, just never had this situation before.
Only red flag might be for a buyer if I sell it, and they also punch in the Carfax, and see it's first record in 2023....

R.I.P. Jerry Springer. He was 79. Cancer was the cause of death.

https://www.tmz.com/2023/04/27/jerry-springer-dead-dies/

A family spokesperson says Jerry was battling a "brief illness." Our sources tell us it was pancreatic cancer that was diagnosed a few months ago, and this week he took a turn for the worse.

For those of you who are old enough to know Mr. Springer, Jerry Springer had one of the most popular TV talk shows during the 90s.

Wild and raucous TV show where Jerry invited guests with dubious backgrounds to his show to talk about their stories.

It was basically a tabloid talk show that at times had higher ratings than Oprah in some American cities.

https://www.irishmirror.ie/showbiz/us-gossip/jerry-springer-hits-back-rumours-29220705

The Jerry Springer Show ran from 1991 to 2018 and saw guests discuss their explosive personal lives, with controversial topics covered such as as incest and adultery, with swearing, nudity and fights in the studio on occasion. :lawl:

-from this article https://www.ctvnews.ca/entertainment/jerry-springer-politician-turned-tv-ringmaster-dies-at-79-1.6373675

After more than 4,000 episodes, the show ended in 2018, never straying from its core salaciousness: Some of its last episodes had such titles as "Stripper Sex Turned Me Straight," "Stop Pimpin' My Twin Sister," and "Hooking Up With My Therapist." :lawl:

I remember the audience members cheering him on with chants of "Jerry, Jerry, Jerry!!"

The show was pretty much about dysfunctional people sharing their personal stories on Jerry's show.

[Hondaracer]

I remember in the early 90’s watching Jerry and everyone thinking “omg this is so crazy!!”

Now you can watch executions at gas stations on instagram and shrug it off like nothing lol

how does OT work with sick pay?
now that we have to pay 5 sick days per year, we had 3 guys sick this week with covid.
i want to ask them to work this saturday, none of them have worked 40 hours this week, but they will still be compensated for 40 hours due to sick pay. is saturday considered OT since it goes over 40 hours? or is sick pay excluded from that calculation.

I found this link on the BC government web site about the 5 days sick leave:

https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/employment-business/employment-standards-advice/paid-sick-leave


I do not think that those workers would get OT pay on Saturday because technically, they did not work the 40 hours this week in order to trigger an overtime pay rate. They reported to you as sick with Covid. Sick pay should be excluded from that calculation.

The quickest way to get an answer to your question is to call BC Employment Standards at 1 833 236 3700. They open Monday to Friday 7:30am to 5pm.

Il.post a pic in the lastest pic of yo whip thread soon :fuckyea: should be here in a few days POGGERSFeelsAmazingMan

Yeah it's new on paperwork, but has very low kms, in reality I'm the second owner

Story cut short, I asked the dealership to include a letter stating the car was a dealer vehicle or such, and I can show this to the new buyer if need be.
I will be getting a nvis form, since it's a "new" car.

Only took me 10 years of saving to get to this point, I'm so amped for delivery, gonna bleeeeed the bank account on gas this summer :fuckyea:

[radeonboy]

If it's something owned by a dealer principal it's likely something rare and special...

Is it something like a manual R8?

[murd0c]

Looking at buying a car, it's 2015, but has never been registered. Owned by the owner of a large dealership.

Punched in the Carfax vin, and it shows "no registration records found", no nothing.

Anyone who works at a dealer, care to chime in? I guess I would be the "first owner" and the the first record would be once I bring it in for an oil change or such

I think it's fine, just never had this situation before.
Only red flag might be for a buyer if I sell it, and they also punch in the Carfax, and see it's first record in 2023....

I would put my money on the reason why it was never registered was because the owner just ran dealer plates the entire time (which I'm sure was not often) when he drove it.

It's manual alright..... I wouldn't call it rare or special tho

I wanted a 95-01 nsx, but after being outbid twice on BAT by a few thousand, and no local stock, i folded and took a car that's half the price instead.

Nsx is gonna have to wait another 10 years :okay:

Murd0c: you are correct, he ran dealer plates for all it's life

If you guys just bought a new car with M+S tires, would you just use those for the entire year or would you get some summer tires to use and save the M+S for the winter time? or would you buy a dedicated set of Snow tires and use the M+S for non-winter?

I don't mind spending the money, but i'm not sure what to do.

[68style]

I'd wear out the M+S and and buy dedicated wheels with winter tires... and when the M+S wear out, replace them with summers

[radeonboy]

^+1 on this. Now's also a good time to pick up some used winter tires if you have the space to store them.

Depends on the car.
On a Porsche? I'll get summers. On a base golf? I'll run what it came on.

Depends. For a daily driver like a Civic or my RDX I'd just throw CrossClimates on them right away and sell the OEM tires before there are too many miles on them (I may even negotiate with my dealer to see if they can swap it for a small cost). The quality of all weather tires means I'm not gonna buy dedicated winters unless my car came with summer tires.

[unit]

maybe if i had a sporty car i would do that. if that were the case i probably wouldnt own all weather or m+s tires, i'd prob have full blown winters that i put on for 5 months then summers for the rest of the year, just to get the best of both worlds.

[Badhobz]

best tires are triangle tires. FeelsGoodMan

[68style]

I felt lied to when I bought those, they weren't triangles at all

[Badhobz]

i know. i felt the same when i bought triangle snow tires from this place on east hastings and commercial (south china tire something something?) this scammy chinese uncle sold me 4 of those "triangles" for 200 dollars including balancing and mounting on my old ratrolla.

never skipped a beat with those tires and the ratrolla was able to climb boundary & hastings intersection like a mountain goat in the snow.

i wonder if that shop is still operational. He used to do the tires for my dad on our 2001 sentra too. he must be a gazillion years old now, and his wife also worked in the shop.

[Gumby]

So, any suggestions on where to get a will done up?

So, any suggestions on where to get a will done up?

I used Willful (https://willful.co?grsf=ueaqqj) and it was a pretty easy experience and cheap. If you want to deal with a real human (lawyer) it will run you about $800+ - I would only go down that route if you have a complex life that needs handing over.

Mustangs and Camaros want to be it, the transmission is "unique" vs most other manual cars, the wheels have a very high offset

Can confirm.

Might only be showing up on Monday :okay:

[Badhobz]

Viper !!!!!! It has to be

[radeonboy]

^I thought of that too, but 2015 Vipers aren't half the price of a NSX though...

I'm going to guess CTS-V.

You cannot make this stuff up ...

Photographer Ken Pretty — from the town of Dildo (NS) — captured aerial photos Thursday

A man from Dildo, N.L. has captured the attention of iceberg lovers after photographing an oddly-shaped hunk — now popularly known as the "dickie berg" on social media — off the coast of Newfoundland.

I kept driving the M+S on our X3 until one of them got a puncture that couldn't be fixed. Put some DWS06 on afterwards as I wasn't a fan of swapping tires for the winter on both cars.

Would have kept using the OEM tires if they didn't have a puncture, still got lots of life left.

Same, I've been using DWS06+ all year round for the past two years since I didn't want to swap tires. Great performance tires for year round use especially in the wet. They're no CC2s though in the snow, so I try not to drive when it snows unless I absolutely need to.

[EvoFire]

They were fine in the snow the last two years. Not the most amazing but you won't get stuck either, and you won't hit anything as long as you aren't retarded.

[PeanutButter]

Thanks for the input everyone.

We just bought a Toyota Sienna AWD that came with M+S rated tires on them, so I was contemplating what to do.

I think i'll just use the M+S for now and i'll buy dedicated Winter Tires for the Winter. It'll be my main family car so I want to make sure we have the most amount of grip during the Winter. Costco has the Michelin X-Ice Snows for ~$300 right now and the guy said they'll go 20% off sometime in the next couple months, so just look out for that as it's the best deal of the year.

First of all, congrats on your new ride. Costco usually has 20% off tires over labour day weekend so that's the weekend to hold out for.

M+S performance really depends on the tire itself. My Kia Soul came with these M+S rated Nexen NPriz AH8 tires that I have no confidence in on regular weather, let alone mud/snow. Really tempted to just chuck those out and get a set of Pilot Sport 5 tires, but I'm too cheap to dispose something that's still usable.

[PeanutButter]

Thanks, my guy, I appreciate that. I never thought I would be driving a mini-van, but I have to admit it's super practical and it's going to be awesome for road trips. I do miss the performance every now and then, but practicality wins out... Being a parent shifts your paradigm completely.

[GLOW]

my subaru forester comes with M+S too and it had no issues the past winter, was kind of nice driving in the snow-pacalypse :lol

[PeanutButter]

Subaru's AWD system is a true AWD system and some may argue it's the best..

The Sienna's AWD system isn't true AWD, there's only a small electric motor that drives the rear wheels, and there's no mechanical connection. So i'm not that confident in Toyota's AWD claim for it.

[Badhobz]

Isn’t Subaru system a halidex system ? It’s not like the old torsen systems where there is a vicious fluid and wheels are powered at all times.

Not that I'm defending Toyota's claim that the Sienna's AWD is real or not, but in theory, it's still AWD, no?

[GLOW]

my sport also comes with x-mode (mud/slush or deep snow settings), though i never really needed it but from watching youtube vids it seems to control acceleration and power distribution to wheels

[roastpuff]

It's not a Haldex system, but the new CVT cars (basically everything bar the WRX) are definitely not using the old-school Torsen system that Subaru used to be famous for.

Think this video covers Subaru's different AWD systems:

No.

In theory, it's AWD, but not all AWD systems are built the same. Some are much better than others.

I was watching a video where this guy was testing different cars with AWD and he put those rollers on the wheels to test them and the Toyota system did amoungst the worst in the test. The comments suspect the electric motor that powers the wheels isn't strong enough to generate enough power.

Anyone have local (Canada) rim store suggestions?

Looking at getting wheels for the C7, 1010 tires and all those stores don't even let you enter the model into their system because of the staggered wheels + very high offsets.

Not much selection in Canada.

Might need to buy from USA, seems to have the most options.
2-3k USD range

Not sure what their wheel selection is like, but suspension they were far and above the best price in Canada for my KWs. Like same price as exchange + shipping from anywhere else and no duties to end up paying which would have probably been like 4-$600
