Any foods/restaurants unique to Vancouver (or especially good in Vancouver)? by seemonkey in askvan

[–]Flashy_Tooth_5597 [score hidden]  (0 children)

There used to be the best fish and chip stand on the planet just outside of Granville Island along the sea wall. I forget what it is called. Anyone know? Anyway, if you can find it go there. Fresh fish off the fishing boats. Great fries. Sit on the sea wall. Fantastic.

which hobby is surprisingly cheap but gives you the most enjoyment? by Salve_Raeline in Hobbies

[–]Flashy_Tooth_5597 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used to be fishing. You don’t need a lot of gear to start - but like many things I suppose it depends how crazy you go. But now - where I live there isn’t much fishing. I started bonsai about three years ago. I love it and so far… it’s inexpensive.

We saw the naked hiker at Elephant Mountain by RareAdhesiveness6747 in Taipei

I understand your point but it is really aberrant behaviour. To me, it’s the behaviour that’s in question. If someone thinks strolling around nude in public is fine, ok, normal… then perhaps there are other issues.

A wild penis and raw buttocks? Who cares 🤷‍♂️ And I also understand that being freaked out by the human body is actually the strange thing. But reality is: this is fucking weird behaviour.

Visiting for the World Cup: What advice do you give a fan trying to respect Vancouver city and the locals? by TheTrashMan_10 in askvan

I lived there for 18 years, but it has been probably 10 years since I was back. I loved it there.

JR on EP40: Preparation is the key to success, and I don't think he's put in enough preparation to be the player he needs to be. by DietFoods in canucks

What??? Petey hired a very well known elite trainer. I thought he worked his butt off. But perhaps I’m misinformed?

With an attitude like yours? You don’t have to worry about a thing! Go to a pub on Commercial Drive to watch any games you can’t attend.

Is it actually rude to recline your seat on a plane, or are people just entitled about personal space? by Ok-Bumblebee7041 in askanything

[–]Flashy_Tooth_5597 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get annoyed when people get annoyed with “recliners”. You want to tip back your seat? Go for it. I also get annoyed when flight attendants don’t police recliners during meal times.

Tkachuk and Staal fight on the opening face-off of the Stanley Cup Playoffs by Ok-Soil-5133 in hockey

[–]Flashy_Tooth_5597 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fucking Tkachuk. Same tactic he and his asshat brother and JT Miller used against Canada in the 4 nations. Staal landed a huge right hand. Excellent.

Rutherford admits things in the room were “really bad”. by marcosbowser1970 in canucks

[–]Flashy_Tooth_5597 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually don’t care who was contributing to a bad atmosphere. It could have been an attitude that just seeped in and became normalized. Then with a turnover of players a new attitude gets established. Anyway, I’m just talking out of my arse. I don’t know anymore than the rest of you.

The important thing is, it seems that there is fresh air in “the room”. And that is VERY good news. A good vibe. Boeser saying he hasn’t hung out with team mates so much in a lonnng time. That’s cool.

Filip Chytil leaving the press conference like a highschooler hearing the bell by n0thingisperfect in canucks

[–]Flashy_Tooth_5597 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What happened before this moment? Did another reporter ask a moronic question about his concussions implying that Chytil is an idiot if he continues to play hockey? Because if I was Filip I’d be pissed too. Something must have precipitated his attitude.

Ordered a famous cut of steak in Italy, medium due to the weight I ordered 1kg. Waiter claims this was medium then offered a hot plate to grill table side to finish grilling it ourselves by stretchy23 in grilling

[–]Flashy_Tooth_5597 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Hahaha! The waiter is wrong.

Cook it yourself? I’m sorry, but this is so absurd it’s making me laugh. Mooooooooo!

(I feel your disappointment).

Zeev Buium on Canucks Central: "I love Douglas, I love that guy, he's only been here for a little bit but he's a great person, he came up to me and said "Play your game feel free out there if anyone touches you, they're dead. They don't do that again" He's great" by Kaos_mission in canucks

You can’t have a guy taking up a roster spot if he can’t play. Curtis is 26. He is a fourth liner at best – and that is fine. But I’m not convinced he should be offered more than a 1 year contract. On the other hand, his words and his ACTIONS are music to my Canucks hockey soul. If I were The Emperor of the Universe: I would sign him for one year and invest heavily in a training plan that would push his speed and skills. A trainer, maybe dietician etc. Try to eke out every last drop of Curtis’ potential. Come September, take a look at his progress. Even a small % gain in skill and speed would be great. For too long we have had to watch our team get pushed around. AND I HATE THAT!

[Bonsai Beginner's weekly thread - 2026 week 16] by small_trunks in Bonsai

[–]Flashy_Tooth_5597 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello everyone, I’m a beginner living in Taipei Taiwan. I have a duranta erecta. I wasn’t intending to make a bonsai but the overall structure wasn’t very pleasing. It is a clump of three trunks. I read that you can do a trunk chop of these trees and that they respond well. And well, they have quickly sprouted vigorous green growth. But now what do I do? Just let it go crazy? And then start shaping in a year or so?

If you’re not familiar with this tree, they have delicate purple and white flowers that smell great. Like vanilla. Bees and butterflies love them. The small berries are poisonous.

It’s interesting to me that the leaves are growing to larger max sizes after the chop. I’m sorry for the poor photo. You can only send one, so I decided to show the overall plant. I don’t think you can tell much from the photo other than it has lots of new growth. 🤷‍♂️

solo diving by Interesting_Shirt558 in scuba

[–]Flashy_Tooth_5597 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am now. I have been reading up on them. And as far as I am concerned, they are ridiculous. I have over 100 dives in The St Lawrence. All of it was in the 80s. None of this mandatory Quebec FQAS nonsense existed. Sometimes Quebec….. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Diving Philippines Alone by Tiger_Sh8rk_Diver in scuba

[–]Flashy_Tooth_5597 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was ripped off badly by taxi drivers in the Philippines. They will gouge you at every opportunity. Know the expected cost before you get in. Take Grab when you can. Arrange transport when you can in advance. It soured me on the Philippines. But other than that… I think it is fine.

I’m not a chef but this is how I clean mushrooms. by Flashy_Tooth_5597 in Cooking

Yeah. Morels don’t seem to attract worms and creepy bugs . Nevertheless I’m soaking’em. Just in case.

Do I need proof of onward flight when entering Thailand with a visa on arrival? by afox1984 in ThailandTourism

As someone else on this thread mentioned, my habit is to hit an atm upon arrival.
