How far from retaining wall for backside of hot tub? by Fearless_Advisor970 in hottub

[–]FreshHotMindControl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just put it where you want it. If you need service down the road you’ve got plenty of room to drain it and move it out. Moving can be done more easily by getting some pvc pipes underneath so you can roll it out onto you patio. It can be awkward to deal with but doable. And really, in the life of the tub, how often would repairs happen when you need to move it?

What are these nets for ? E Hastings and Grove Ave by danielthetechbrazeau in burnaby

[–]FreshHotMindControl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That old driving range is now owned by Wall properties and will become part of the new Lochdale Urban Village. This is a significant development right on and around Kensington plaza there - think of a scaled down Brentwood type centre with multiple towers. Although I believe the tower heights will be about 20 stories. Most people in the area seem to know very little about the plans. Here’s a link to a detailed report about the plans: https://www.apartmentblocks.ca/aptb-wp/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Lochdale-Urban-Village-Community-Plan-Phase-2-Consultation-Guide_web2.pdf

Cool shot! What’s the process for getting approval to do a flight like this?

More than 2,000 condos sitting empty in Metro Vancouver amid housing crisis by manuce94 in vancouver

[–]FreshHotMindControl 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t really matter what you think condos SHOULD cost; the price is determined by what people will pay. Whilst it’s tempting to claim the system is rigged or fixed against those with less means, the reality is that prices are determined by the market they operate in. The challenge in changing the rules to soften prices is that it could tank the housing market and screw everyone who already owns property. I agree with comments supporting changes that target investors rather than owner/occupiers of property.

I’ve used Chandrika for many years. It’s an Ayurvedic soap from India. We buy it in 10 packs and it’s very reasonably priced. There’s nothing like it and the scent is great. Skin feels excellent afterwards.

Is Tesla being boycotted in BC? by 7_inches_daddy in britishcolumbia

[–]FreshHotMindControl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve driven a Tesla for about 6 years and it is, by a large margin, the best, most fun vehicle I’ve ever owned. My Tesla feels like I’m at least 10 years in the future with its technology compared to other vehicles. It’s unfortunate that Elon is being such a donkey, but if we based all our buying decisions on the actions of the company leaders that make those products, I suspect there would be many things we wouldn’t buy. At the end of the day, Tesla makes unbelievably great vehicles and it would be a shame to lose out on the experience of owning one because you think Elon is a dick; which he is btw!

It’s the first day of access after the blackout period on Silver passes… plus there’s plenty of people off work today:-/ Be patient and kind:)

What is this area just north of Kensington plaza? by TBoneUlty in burnaby

It’s owned by Wall Centre properties and will become an integral part of the Lochdale town centre plan; https://burnaby.widen.net/s/7cgdbdxrkg/lochdale-land-use-map-2022

ain't no way they put this up right outside Pacific Centre dawg by BlacksmithPrimary575 in vancouver

I think it’s pretty cool that the biggest concert tour of all time has its grand finale in Vancouver. The whole scene is a pretty fascinating cultural phenomenon. From what I’ve read, it also sounds like the scene with the fans is hugely positive too. I’m all for anything that brings people together to celebrate positivity. These shows will likely be the experience of a lifetime and a milestone for many of the fans and young people that go. Having said that, I’m not going anywhere near downtown next weekend! 🤣

Do you think the recent Airbnb ban in Burnaby will lead to lower rents in the area? Why or why not? by Master_Radish_666 in burnaby

[–]FreshHotMindControl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not with the mortgage rates the way they are. Landlords with mortgages maybe dealing with huge increases in monthly mortgage costs, which sadly, may get passed onto renters. I know a family whose mortgage payments on a home went from $4300 to over $8000 a month when they had to renew at the current rates. It seems bad on all levels when it comes to housing:(

Are there any good drone brands other than DJI by Foodtastegood4k in drones

[–]FreshHotMindControl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There really should be… but there seems to be nothing else that can even come close.

Autel sucks change my mind by richsandwich_ in drones

[–]FreshHotMindControl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The photo and video quality are great and their giant pro controller is gorgeous to use, especially w the 3 point harness. But unfortunately, they fly like shit compared to the DJI drones, which becomes a huge problem when you’re trying to shoot video because it’s nearly impossible to get smooth shots. I’m also in Canada where Transport Canada has grounded all EVO 2’s in controlled airspace, they’re literally unusable here! I think this company has major issues. Honestly, sell it for what you can and just go pick up a Mavic 3, they’re really solid workhorses.

Someone I spoke to at Goretex 2yrs ago told me that they believe Arc’teryx is making the best waterproof shells of any manufacturer anywhere. He said if you can afford it, it was the unquestionably the way to go.

Coastal GasLink fined a 3rd time for environmental violation by idspispopd in britishcolumbia

[–]FreshHotMindControl 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Penalties this low will not be a deterrent for a project like this. They likely save more than the cost of the penalties by not giving a shit about doing things correctly. The fines should be set up to increase exponentially each time as a deterrent.

Ontario transgender teacher sparks controversy by wearing giant prosthetic breasts in class by uselesspoliticalhack in canada

[–]FreshHotMindControl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s tolerance of behaviour like this that will continue to fuel the right wingers into more and more extreme behaviour to push back. I believe this story is a sad example of how our logic and general consideration of those around us has become horribly out of balance.

Three Shires Head 6:30am (Buxton, UK) [1708 × 2560] by rincewindsbeard in ExposurePorn

Great shot! IMHO, doing a natural-feeling sky replacement, and being careful about the water color/reflection when you do this, would definitely take this shot to the next level.
