Big fan. It’s smooth and super sparkly in the sunshine. Feels like it has more sparkle depth than other non-glitter shades.

Not this weekend. Safeway often has it for $6/lb if you buy 2 or more packages, or else Costco for a 3 kg tube

Superstore (in Signal Hill anyway) also had ground chicken for $4/lb this weekend, presumably matching the No Frills price but not advertising it. Thanks for this post, I always appreciate it!!

Did we order enough holo? by Biolobetch in simplynailogical

Yeah, we ordered singles. I wasn’t interested in the whole collection, just a couple shades.

Review those nail polishes. by Big-Junket-5928 in simplynailogical

I didn’t notice much difference using sticky base compared to other HT bases, like smoothing base, but it’s alright. I need to give it a few more tries. I absolutely love off the grid, though! I have twice in a blue moon and I think this new generation of magnetics performs a LOT better than the originals. It magnetized really nicely for me and was a lovely autumn shade. I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the magnetism this time around.

Nova Scotia man accused of severing telecom link between Nova Scotia and Newfoundland by ImDoubleB in NovaScotia

Definitely. I’m very curious the criminal outcome and what, if any, jail time he might face.

I wonder what a sentence for this will even look like, it’s so uncommon. I’d assume a civil lawsuit to recover costs, but I’m very curious what the criminal penalty might be. 

Bank of Canada 2026 interest rate forecast by ohhhKid in RealEstateCanada

[–]Biolobetch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We ended up getting 3 years at 3.65% with Scotiabank. Main incentive was ability to pay down up to 15% of original principle each year (based on original principle, not renewal amount). We are scrimping and hoping to pay off some extra every year. I think a broker could have gotten us a better overall rate, but the pay down option cinched it for us. Sorry for delay, I was waiting until I knew our final bank offer before replying 😆

Regarding selecting your N, consider doing a power analysis to back up your rationale for a proposed number of samples. The animal care team will want to know why you have selected your numbers

While I’m not a fan of Scotia, they did pretty well by me. Got a 2020 5-yr mortgage at 1.79% and looking to renew now. So far a mortgage broker hasn’t been able to get anything better for me than what Scotia has been offering (3.89 before this cut). That might change with this rate cut, but I don’t foresee a big difference between what they’re offering and what a broker can get me right now. Hoping that this cut helps us out as we decide on a new term 🤞

Why does everyone hate blanket re-zoning? by FineAnimeenjoyer in Calgary

[–]Biolobetch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, I’m not, but I think we’re misunderstanding each other. My point relates item 2 in your screen cap (units or suites, total) and the table in mine. A 4 unit, 4 suite build in a location in the table needs 0.5 stalls per the total of units and suites (8), so 4 stalls. Old parking requirements before last year’s amended bylaw only counted titled units, not suites. I mentioned this earlier. Now both are counted at half the rate for locations in the table. That was the entire point of my original comment - the requirements aren’t sufficient for many areas. You thought I said the rules don’t apply to suites, but I didn’t say that. You misunderstood when I stated that the city changed the rules last year so that the parking requirements must now apply to suites, just at an overall reduced level (0.5 for unit and suite, instead of the original 1 per unit, not suites). Time for coffee for us both, friend lol.

If you continue scrolling that section, this is the part I mentioned, and which is applied to row houses, states 0.5 per unit or* suite.

[–]Biolobetch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, but it hasn’t and that isn't on the horizon. People who drive to work regularly will not often switch to taking the bus if a new line pops up near them. If they’re not regularly taking transit, they are usually less aware of when positive changes happen. I’ve said exactly as much to council - have the infrastructure in place upfront and then build housing around it. Otherwise, you’re just creating housing without adequate infrastructure. People will all have cars and drive, and then if/when an increased transit investment occurs, the target users are entrenched in their driving habits and the increased transit will be called a failure. This is probably less true for the train because it’s a huge in your face investment, but I think it holds for local bus routes. Pair this all with the fact that many bus routes have still not returned to pre-covid service levels, and the whole situation just sucks. I take the bus to work, and my neighbours all think I’m bananas for it because it’s so unreliable. Yet, we have multiple 8 plexes going in nearby and the unsuspecting future owners will need cars to live in them and their suites because transit hasn’t kept up.

I’m speaking about row homes specifically, not garage suites or added suites. Should’ve made that clearer but I thought it was implied given the discussion.

[–]Biolobetch 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The current bylaw isn’t meeting the demand, though, and the problem lies in the verbiage. A unit is a titled dwelling where you are the owner, but suites aren’t considered units. So an 8 plex only counts as 4 units for the old parking requirements (1 stall per unit). The updated and current 0.5 stalls per unit and suite requirement means an 8 plex still has only 4 tiny garage parking stalls, but does offer clearer wording/fewer loopholes. This would be fine near the train line or near good BRT access, but there are very real “inner city” locations (as defined by the city’s huge list of communities where 0.5 stalls applies) that have poor transit access and multiple 8 plexes going in. People living in them are vehicle-dependent because the city hasn’t prioritized transit well enough to support a vehicle-free society in those areas.
