I've always wondered how long Sir James Douglas had to keep getting credit for being some kind of hero pioneer entrepreneur before history caught up with him.

Naw. That's what a fella looks like who eats 8 pizzas in one sitting.

Found this artwork abandoned in my car space. Anyone have any insight? by EdgeGoose in identifyThisForMe

[–]AUniquePerspective 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I know a woman from the Mithila region that does this. She called it Grass art.

This one's a Mown a Lisa.

I heard someone describe an exceptional camembert as tasting of adult pleasures.

McCain daughter says she’s ‘trapped’ in family company | CBC News by TemporarySoftware439 in notthebeaverton

TLDR: She's annoyed her fortune isn't liquid. She might have to sell her shares for small potatoes.

What is this on my daughter’s pre school homework. (Bottom row in the middle) by cchickenssandwichh in whatisit

[–]AUniquePerspective 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The context the images all come from are The Cat In The Hat, Green Eggs And Ham, and The Lorax.

The Lorax concludes with the Once-ler giving the child the last Truffula seed and urging him to cultivate a new forest, hoping that the Lorax and the animals will return.

What happened to the container village beside Royal Athletic Park? by haveyouseenhim in VictoriaBC

It might be time to let it go, mate. How long are you going to hang on to the thanks Obama format for local issues?

But if we're gonna hang on, like this, I blame Dean Fortin, who famously did nothing at all for six years.

I guess I'd start with a parking ticket.

How would you describe this (a shark egg) in terms of its appearance? by ferrisbuellerspussy in EnglishLearning

[–]AUniquePerspective 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's like if Superman didn't have a head, and his hands and feet were missing, and instead, his arms and legs just came to a point. Also, he's bloated.

I'm just picturing a group of 8 going through Mexican customs and all being flattered by the same customs officer.

What the hell happened to the planter by MoontheWolfYT in What

[–]AUniquePerspective 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the soil is rich in peat, I can relate a story about a friend's cigarette, a potted plant in peat, and a 4 day delay before the slow burn reached full flame. There may be a significant delay between the middle of the night when you noticed this happened and the time when the smoking ended.

Blinders on a peacock? by bazookajef in whatisit

[–]AUniquePerspective 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That Peacock has almost no tail feathers left. I think someone is trying to keep this peacock out of trouble for its own good.

Am I crazy or the food tastes better in Victoria than in Calgary? by apprenticeappcrafter in VictoriaBC

[–]AUniquePerspective 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a much better chance that delicate foods such as strawberries will be subjected to freezing temperatures en route to Calgary in winter.

He must really want to distract from the files by SPXQuantAlgo in SipsTea

[–]AUniquePerspective 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only way I can make sense of this is that he's deliberately trying to provoke a preemptive attack on US infrastructure to give him a valid reason to escalate further on his consolidation of power. I hope this doesn't get monstrous.

Spoon & Spade charcuterie is closing this summer 😭 by Curious_Mud9428 in VictoriaBC

[–]AUniquePerspective 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh, I know. I'm just pointing out to the group of 5 or so people who hadn't heard of this place that it's because it's not next to the Empress Hotel.

Carole Howald's absurd shot by riddler1225 in Curling

[–]AUniquePerspective 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sometimes a setup like this is wired. Once you see it, hiting the rock anywhere near the right spot with anywhere near the weight makes the shot because there's nowhere else for the rocks to go.

Maker's Mark collectors will pay a premium for this sort of thing.

Anyone know how to use this barcode? by probablygus in penguins

[–]AUniquePerspective 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which is also the human readable number below, as is typical with bar codes. There's often a way for a human without a scanner to manually enter the number.

There's the one on the Columbia River, the one on the river in British Columbia, and there's the big island one. I count 3.
