I had it for the first time a few weeks back on vacation out in the Maritimes. I did not expect/realize the sauce to be sweet and thought something went bad with my donair or they put the wrong sauce on it lol.

I think part of the shock was that I was not expecting it to be sweet. I mean, who would have thought condensed milk and roast lamb goes well together. The next time I had it I got the sauce on the side just so I could control the level of sauce. A bit of sweetness was good with the lamb, just not slathered in the sauce.

I forget the name of the place westopher told me about for donairs in Edmonton, but man, it was :sweetjesus:

I just got back from a 2 week trip in Nova Scotia, New Foundland, and PEI, gimme a shout if you need any advice.

That said, I felt Halifax as a town not very appealing. Did find an amazing old school pub, but the neighborhoods are all pretty spread out and doesn't have a lot of charm,

Charlottetown was far more charming and quaint. Fantastic food since the Culinary Institute of Canada is there.

Halifax donairs are life, love, and happiness rolled into a pita.
High voltage in edmonton is the best Halifax donair in existence, although not totally traditional. Kind of a Gyro/Halifax donair hybrid.

Fuck what a shitty time to make that joke. On page 666 of all things. I take it back!

Not sure if this made international news, but for those who aren't aware, this crazy guy randomly stabbed two women (https://hongkongfp.com/2023/06/02/two-shoppers-dead-in-brutal-stabbing-at-hong-kong-mall-suspect-arrested/) at a mall right after I made that shitty joke. Both died. And then tonight it looks like it happened again, although no details are out yet since it just happened hours ago. My wife went by on her commute and the MTR exit was a crime scene.

I know it's just coincidence, but it feels shitty. And weird to happen twice in a short time.. maybe all the strict covid restrictions drove crazy people even more crazy...

A mom killed her 3 young daughters the other day too.. It was crazy to follow the news as it was breaking, as she told the police her husband attacked them with a knife, so there was a manhunt. But they eventually figured out that she did it and made a false accusation. Apparently she has a history of mental health issues, and just snapped somehow.

Yup I wish I hadn't seen it

What gets me is her girlfriend tried to save her instead of running away, and died for it. That gives me so much melancholy to think about. Hearing about it is one thing, but seeing her desperately trying to save her girlfriend who is getting stabbed dozens of times is just mind destroying.

BTW the attack last night looks like a copycat, except slashing instead of stabbing her. A guy bought two knifes, and went after a random woman. She had cuts on her leg and arms, and he escaped. This happened about an hour before my wife commuted through there :heckno:

Reminds me of the one I saw in Australia last year.

IIRC two dudes were fighting when one of them pulls out a knife. The victim keeps on taunting the other dude thinking it's a bluff. Obviously he gets stabbed in the neck and then falls over and bleeds to death in like a matter of seconds.

Still hate the new UI in all the lexusususus/toyota products. I think the old one is actually easier to use and you can split screen. This new one is so bland looking and poorly integrated with this big ugly slab of a tablet. Thanks for ruining automotive design Tesla! now all these idiots are following your stupid tablet idea.

So we're going camping this weekend, and because of the campfire ban, am borrowing a gas fire pit thing from a friend...but they said they need the propane tank.

Is there a way to borrow/rent the tank? Don't really want to spend $80 on a tank that I have no use for ever again, nor somewhere to keep it.

If it matters, it's Cultus, and they list "propane exchange" at $36.99, but I assume that means I need to bring a tank of my own to exchange for a full one?

Excerpt:

“Can they already generate their own energy without eating?” wrote one person living in Denmark, who discovered a colleague had eaten only carrots and some spinach.

“My colleague’s lunch has not changed for more than 10 years, which is a handful of oatmeal mixed with low-fat yogurt, with half an apple and a carrot,” wrote another expatriate living in Germany.

Not everyone is convinced by the purported benefits of “white people food”. “If such a meal is to extend life, what is the meaning of life?” wrote a commenter.

At least they offering you a deal :troll:

I get Telus cockbags keep calling me every single month offering me some garbage plan to get me to switch back from Fido. Telus asks me how much I pay now and my plan, I straight up tell them. They can't beat it nor even match it, so I told them to quit calling me then if you can't offer anything better. Next month rolls along, another call. Then next and then next. Now I just don't answer any of their calls, time wasters.

I understand the need to bust out sales for your job, but if your just gonna offer the textbook deals off the Telus website, what's the point of calling the customer to irritate them. At least offer a deal the customer can't refuse if you want to make sales. All the phone carreriers offer similar/same plans, why the heck should I go out of my way to switch back for no good reason.

^so its fathers day. I abandoned my dad cuz whatever fuck him. The wife went to her dads like a good girl. I get to spend the entire day alone mowing the lawn, doing some shit with the dogs and just chilling. Exactly how i like it.

Was feeling like chicken after all the lawn mowing so i decide to take the ratrolla and grab Shawn's Chicken (https://www.shawnschicken.ca/) which by the way is fucking delicious... like crazy delicious.

I parked in that Empire Plaza loading zone while waiting and all of sudden these skanky mainland girls comes out of their bubble tea place next door. Like 3 of them. Clip Clop heels, mini skirts, nice tits, the usual demographic of gold digging mainlander bitches.

I thought i hit the jackpot, im like OH shit i wonder if they gonna talk to me.

NOPE NOPE NOPE. not even close, they walked right past me and my shitty ratrolla, into their Rolls Royce Cunnilingus and didnt even notice my shitty ass peasant car.
:yuno:

The baldness and fatness and poorness doesnt work in richmond.
p.s. it used to work w/ the maserati, but a lexus? JAPANESE!?!?!? ha!!! not even eye contact.

By the way, im gonna order this from costco to see if it'll help with the baldness. Will report back when i have fabio lush hair
p.p.s its portable. might wear to meat as well.

The older I get the more I honestly don’t give a fuck. I haven’t been inside harry rosen since 2008.

I think the main difference between when I was younger vs. now is that I appreciate more material than materialism. Fuck logos... just give me the good stuff and I'm willing to pay.

I am not ashamed to say I have spent some serious dough (well, nothing compared to high-end brand names, but expensive for what they are) on some very high-quality cloth and shoes. But they keep me warm in the winter, looks great and I can beat the shit out of them, throw into the washer and comes out pretty much the same as the day I got it.

I've worn the same pair of leather boots for almost 10yrs now. It's from a little brand out of Chile that do their shoes/boots to measure. Sure it cost me like $500 back then, but that shit is crazy. Other than some nice-looking patina that it developed over the years, it's still in incredible condition with 0 tear or cracks on the leather.

As far as maintenance goes, other than wiping it clean, add some oil it came with (same can from 10yrs ago) for weather resistance at the beginning of every fall, and I replaced the outsole twice due to wear, that shit is indestructible and it has gone through places I wouldn't want to go twice. Even the shoe shop dude that replaced the outsole for me asked me where I got them because the build quality and attention to detail was the best he had ever seen.

If any cloth/shoes can be worn for 10yrs+, looks pretty much the same but it's at 5x the price... count me in any time.

I'm your typical basics guy who basically just wears plain black t-shirts with lulu athletic pants. I was sold on Lulu early on I still remember the first thing I ever bought were shorts with a liner and it took 15 years give or take of washing and throwing in the dryer to finally give way. Even then the outside was good as the day I bought them but the inner lining finally started breaking. ABC pants, dry fit t-shirts for the gym and shorts are my go to. For t-shirts I'll cheap out and get a mix of uniqlo, fresh clean threads, and true classic t-shirts all in around the $25-$30 range not cheap not baller.

It's 12,000ft under water. Find my iphone won't work. Even with some sort of beacon, the people searching for them would need to be close enough and know exactly where to point their equipment. And even then, that doesn't even guarantee they would "hear" it.

Even if they could find where it is at that depth, there's no way to rescue them.

Was just looking at the latest and a Canadian search plane heard banging noises coming from one of the search areas

The US Coast Guard has confirmed that a Canadian P-3 aircraft detected "underwater noises" in a search area for the missing Titanic sub
US media, citing internal US government memos, described them as "banging sounds"
It is unclear when and how long the banging lasted, according to Rolling Stone and CNN

My understanding is there is only one sub that can dive that low and that is the one missing.

I just found out it is bolted from the outside. There is no way to open the hatch from the inside. So they could be floating on the ocean with no way to get out.

It sounds like another likely scenario is that once it got to a certain depth it imploded on itself killing everyone instantly, which at this point might have been the best case scenario for the people on board unfortunately.

The more you read about this sub and the reports coming out it sounds like they cut some corners building/testing it.

Wendy Rush, the wife the executive who piloted the submersible that has been the subject of a desperate search after it went missing during a dive to the Titanic wreckage, has a personal connection to the ship.

Rush is the is the great-great granddaughter of retailing magnate Isidor Straus and his wife, Ida, who were part of the group of more than 1500 people who died during the Titanic’s maiden voyage, according to New York Times archive records.

Another article which reinforces the stereotype that Chinese people will eat just about anything.

-even sucking on stir fried spicystones. :facepalm:

https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/suodiu-china-eating-stone-intl-hnk/index.html

Dubbed “the world’s hardest dish” – literally – a traditional stir-fry featuring stones as its key ingredient has sparked culinary curiosity on Chinese social media.

Patrons are supposed to suck on the small rocks to relish the rich and spicy flavor of the dish, which originated in the eastern Chinese province of Hubei.

They are instructed to suck off the flavors, then spit out the rocks – hence the dish’s name suodiu, meaning “suck and dispose.”

Videos of internet users sampling suodiu have sprung up all over Chinese social media platforms over the past week.

They also show how street vendors cook up the unusual dish. Vendors pour chilli oil onto pebbles sizzling on a teppanyaki-style grill, sprinkle garlic sauce all over them, then stir-fry everything with a mix of garlic cloves and diced peppers.

As they prep the ingredients, these sidewalk chefs sometimes narrate their every move with rhymes, according to videos on Xiaohongshu, ChinaÂ’s equivalent to Instagram.

“A portion of spice brings the passion alive,” the chef said in one video, adding that the dish is as popular as alcohol.

Customers are then served the flavored stones in palm-sized boxes. Each portion costs about 16 yuan (US$2.30), according to the video.

The red is just from food dye. Supposedly it's Red 40 which is banned in some countries for causing adverse health effects.

Depends on what you're looking to do. Wife and I went last fall. Did some nature walks on the local trails. Hung out on the beach taking in the scenery. Drove down to Uculet for the market etc. Had a great dinner at Pluvio there. There's good food choices if you look. It's not all taco trucks. Definitely no high end shopping if that's what your wife is into.

It was a nice trip to relax and decompress.

Funny enough, we were there that weekend he got caught skipping out on the Truth & Reconciliation Day the first time.

We joked during one of our trail/beach walks that it might happen and a RCMP tac team would come out of the woods to secure a perimeter and Justin would come strolling out.

10 minutes later, we see 15 identically dressed people in dark cop blue gortex come out of the trailhead onto the beach we were at.

I bought an electronic item (coupe hundred bucks) online from Staples. Item shows delivered at my home and photo proof at my door steps. Tracking shows no signature required, item wasn't there (someone jacked it). Also keep in mind I am home everyday as I work from home, no one rang the door or contacted me. So I contact Staples to ask them why no signature was not required, and their customer support said signature is required for all high value items (and they don't know why FedEx just left it without signature).

I shop online often, so I know all the routines of the different couriers. Most nowadays hand deliver to someone at the home, or leave a pick up card (especially for a high value item). So I asked them to refund me or reship me a new one, as it doesn't make sense the customer absorbs this. They told me to go file a chargeback with my credit card company to get my money back. Now I'm confused why they can't just refund me, and make me go through the work via my CC to resolve.

06-25-2023, 10:09 PM
Feels like FedEx should take some responsibility for delivering without a signature, especially if the item was beyond the threshold of value which requires signature. From Staples point of view ... hard for them to absorb this. A bad intentioned customer can claim exactly what you did and just made up story that it wasn't there.

if you care about good food and shopping, forget about it.
Tofino is for just relaxing and chilling, sitting by the beach.

really need to get a resort or camping(need to book way way ahead) by the beach to enjoy it.
I've been to pacific sands beach resort and Ocean Village Resort
both right next to the beach.
Ocean Village was the best, got 2BR cabin on the beach for $500 per night last year around early June. Not bad for 4 ppl
This was 2022, still some covid stuff so we didn't want to go outside of Canada, but with everything open now, I don't know if I would go to Tofino again... you have to factor in, the BCferries price, gas, 4 hours driving from Nanaimo etc etc...

Several years ago, my dad laid down some 2x4 as edging for the garden into the ground. It's all rotting now, so I'm planning on pulling them out and replacing them.

Brought some plastic edging home, then realized it looks like shit, so now I'm thinking about either just doing wooden edging again or just using some pavers.

If going for wooden edging, would this pressure treated stuff be fine? It's not their ground contact rated stuff.

https://www.homedepot.ca/product/micropro-sienna-2-x-6-x-12-pressure-treated-wood-above-ground-use-only-/1000790082

If going pavers, would this Quikrete sand work for the base layer under the paver + filling in the joints between the pavers?

I was reading that micronized copper azole (which MicroPro uses) is safe for garden beds, so leeching shouldn't be a concern. I actually converted the garden into raised beds, so might be even less of a concern.

So old pressure treated wood used to be treated with CCA (Chromated Copper Arsenate). That's the bad, green looking stuff (due to the Arsenic), and it was banned for use for residential construction in 2003.

The two replacement treatment types are:

- Alkaline Copper Quat (ACQ)
- Copper Azole (CA-B)
(The stuff in the home depot link is CA-B)

These are safer, and probably OK to use for garden beds without ill effects.

I personally use cedar for all my garden beds though.
But that's also because I have a hookup through the owner of Millinear Lumber: http://www.millinearlumber.com/

Yeah that's more what the joint filler is used for, the sand you've linked above is probably more suited for levelling base. The joint filler hardens when exposed to water and locks the pavers from moving laterally.

Last time we went back in May of last year, we stayed at Crystal Cove Beach Resort. They have these cabins with your own private hot tub and wood fireplace in the cabin itself, beautiful view of the beach while sitting in your own hot tub.

Don't go in the summer, it's too busy and the weather is shit, shoulder season is better (Spring, or September/Oct/Nov).

Your wife will be choked as you're driving in beautiful sunny 25C weather from Nanaimo over to freezing ass cloudy/rainy Tofino at 10ish degrees in the damn summer.

Right this moment it's 25 in Vancouver, but 12 in Tofino. I just came back from Portland with some buddies and we did a day trip to Cannon Beach on Friday. It was 30c in Portland, and 10C in Cannon Beach, a 20 degree difference our stupid asses weren't prepared for, needless to say we got our shorts wearing, colored asses out of there in an hour flat, Tofino is no different :lol

I just used generic playground sand but it wasn't really necessary - at most I used 5 pounds (versus 25kg of the base rock) worth to make it extra level but I'd say that was more a case of me being a n00b with this kind of stuff. When I get around to the other side of the driveway I don't think I'll use any sand.

Fuck this. Lousy Asian bitch magnet. Must be that white guy big dick energy.

I mean hello !!!! Dukes wearing a fucking suit here and I got my full JC Penny getup on. What ? Not good enough for ya ?!?! Stinking whores.

Reminds me of when I dated an Asian girl many many years ago and she left me for some honky tonk Point Zero wearing pushbroom. I can't help that my gene pool fits in a thimble :okay:

I just have one of those faces... when you don't want to punch me, you want to love me

Why not both?

Does anyone have any experience mountain biking at Whistler?

I'm a novice, but I wanted to try my hand at it. The website seems a little overwhelming. I'm going to need a bike rental and I guess I have to buy a five day pass? They don't sell single day passes?

Sorry I can't help but I just want to say I did that a long time ago and it was fun as hell. I went down on my cross country hardtail and it was a challenge to say the least. If you can rent a downhill bike with basically motocross suspension, all you have to do is sit and point the wheel at the trail lol.. Great fun, I highly recommend it. I did have a pretty nasty bail, but didn't get hurt.

How "Novice" is novice? Like, some of the blue trails at Whistler make the more difficult trails at say SFU look like child's play.

Highly recommend renting full body armour and a full face helmet if you don't have that already.

Funny story: The first time I went biking at whistler, I bailed on that sample jump at the start of A-Line trail. The one that says "This is the type of stuff to expect on this trail, if you're not comfortable with this we don't recommend you continue down the trail"
Was pretty embarrassing. Still made it down A-Line OK though :P

I ride there a few times a year, up to black diamond trails (dirt merchant) edit: that's actually dual black diamond

My buddy has not ridden a bike in 10 years, he came out with me probably 3 years ago, and since then we have been up every year since.

We started on greens, those are no jumps, no danger, just coasting downhill.
We went to blues on day 1, as long as you "roll" them, you are fine. (Ask people at the top of each run, if it's a "roller" or "drop/jump" track. Most people know what tracks a novice should NOT be on.)

If you want you can get air, but may result in you doing the scorpion with your body. (My buddy did this on the second year by accident when going too fast, and had a concussion for a few days)

If you want to bike Whistler, go for it.
Bike rental: 200$ish with helmet. Do yourself a favor and get shin + elbow pads.
Day pass, 90$ I think? You don't need no 5 day pass....

Gas, rental, lift ticket, food, it's a 400$ day for you. Compares to taking the car to the track, thrill level is 100%.

I ride with shin/knee pads because my legs are fucked up from the years of injury etc from bailing and eating dirt. Once you start doing more hardcore stuff, a neck brace is suggested, along with chest and arm armor.

Any other questions inbox me dawg.

Has anyone used one of these Jackery power stations with the solar panels?

https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0970/9262/products/SolarGenerator1000-min_580x.jpg?v=1650260761

How well does the solar charging work vs their claimed 6hrs?

Thinking about getting one of these for camping.
One of the 1000W units + 2*100W solar panels costs about the same as the 1000W plus a small dual-fuel generator.

They claim 6Hrs recharge by solar. Obviously the generator would be faster, but would need to carry fuel, do maintenance, etc and most campgrounds limit hours of operation of generators (and would hate being "that generator guy" in the campground), based on what I want to use this for I'd likely have to charge every day.

Great68
06-28-2023, 01:25 PM
What's your Price Range?
What features do you want? (Mulch option, propel assist, full self propel etc?)

Is there a specific reason you want gas? (do you have a really big yard or something?)

I currently have a Toro Mulching propel assist gas mower, and it's been good for 10 years now, but once it dies I'm going battery electric without question. They are really good now, more than enough power and run time is really good (my uncle has no problem mowing an acre with his greenworks). Municipalities are starting to ban gas powered lawn equipment altogether (Oak bay just did this, and I can imagine it won't be long before more follow in their footsteps)

Virtually every professional I've seen uses a Honda mower and most consumer reviews also put Honda at the top of the list so if you're willing to pay the premium that's all there is to it (it's 2-3x as expensive). If you don't want to spend the bucks for a full Honda mower then consider a mower with a Honda engine (Lawn Boy offers them as do a few other brands).

I've dreamed of owning a Honda mower for a long time but just don't have a big enough yard to justify it so a 18V Ryobi is where its at for me. Cordless electric is great if your yard is small enough - it may not cut as well as a Honda (and the build quality is shit in comparison) but it's way quieter and light enough that I can pick it up with one hand.

Currently have a lawnboy with a honda motor, it starts up but dies after 1-2 seconds. Reason for gas is because I thought an electric battery might not be enough to finish the job, have an ok size lawn (corner unit). Would probably like it to at least propel assist with a bag in the back, similar to what I currently have. Not really want to spend too much, a quick search is showing $300-500.

Go tesla for lawn mower. No gas, no cords. Even if yard is 'big', you can get extra battery, have both charged. When one dies, use other one, then put the 1st one on the charger ... surely that should cover your lawn.

I have one of the Honda lawnmowers from cosfco, it’s a Honda motor with another conpanies deck. It’s been great for the price the cheapest Honda mower you were gonna find.

I also experienced some bogging out and it was due to shitty gas. Now I only fill up half a small Jerry and refill half way through the summer and mower has been mint since

One thing I don’t love is that the deck etc. is made of a cheaper material that’s already rusting 3-4 years in. Just superficial rust but I think the actual Honda mowers have a stainless deck. A lot of plastic parts on mine as well but zero issues for 3-4 years.

I have like 1500 sq ft of grass though lol

I used to take my clothes for alteration at the shop on Cambie and I think W. 16th called Threadz. I'm not sure if they're still there. The price and workmanship were both reasonable and turnaround time was not bad.

I don't think taking out a pair of pants a couple of inches is rocket science (or submersible science), any shop with a sign on it should be able to do that. Take it to the one closest to you ... and support the local Korean family.

I don’t think they sell a Honda model any longer. It was also only in store.

They have had a couple different models since i bought mine but don’t think they have had another Honda unfortunately.

My buddy bought a pretty nice Honda but it was over $800 I think and it was one of the “lower end” models. I think mine was like 499?
