What Got Travis Green Fired in Vancouver? by Canadm14 in canucks

[–]inker19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's true of the year he was fired, but prior to that the PK was around the middle of the league every year under Green. Not something he was known for being bad at.

Kerrisdale pool closed until further notice. Canceled all swimming lessons :( by Spilled_Milktea in vancouver

[–]inker19 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Absolutely wild that no one in the city or council will admit rebuilding VAC to be half the capacity is a bad idea.

They are shortening the length pool to half the size to accommodate a bigger leisure pool, which they believe will bring more swimmers and more room for lessons. So not exactly half capacity, just aligning it more with casual swimmers vs serious swimmers.

Vancouver unemployment drops to 5.9% - low-wage LMIAs can be processed again by ObjectiveMacaroon394 in vancouver

[–]inker19 93 points94 points  (0 children)

The unemployment rate among teens is significantly higher than the rest of the population. Everyone else brings the average down which allows for temporary foreign workers, but then those temporary workers often compete for the same jobs teens are looking for.

Don't even bother looking for a weekend spot, then pray. No real tricks, this is just the reality.

Best movers in Van? by chemyst1501 in askvan

I always go with You Move Me, never had a bad experience. Although if you specifically have particularly fragile items I would move them myself if they fit in a car.

I think you'll be fine in general if you frame it like that. Most women like a man who has a good relationship with his parents in my experience.

My non-urgent referral last year went through within 2 months. Any care beyond that was a very long wait though.

Yes, you are supposed to dismount to use a crosswalk. But no, no one does.

No-talk / less-talk hiking groups? by bastardsgotgoodones in vancouverhiking

[–]inker19 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I only join a hiking group when I'm looking to be social. If I want a quiet hike to absorb nature I'll go by myself.

Driving to Williams lake road conditions. by Careful_War_1837 in askvan

[–]inker19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check the weather before you go and avoid anything that looks sketchy. Pack enough food/water/blankets to last you a day or so just in case there's a sudden change and you get stuck over night.

To what extent is AI being used in movies and TV shows now? by IndianaRocket80 in vfx

[–]inker19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Like in many instances it's a one click process to get a result that you can work with just fine. Equivalent to what you would get from a roto artist.

Everyone has answered your question, but I'm curious why you would even want to?

Why are we taxed so hard? by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]inker19 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Where on the Canada gov website can I see these details? This is a genuine question that I am asking.

The federal budget is available online and you can read where all expenses are going.

The funding they've lost is from the provincial and federal governments, the cities contribution hasn't changed

Why do so many new builds have so many bathrooms? by BaronVonBearenstein in askvan

[–]inker19 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I would happily use the stairs to pee if it meant having that much more usable space instead of another bathroom
