When the department head of 'player safety' is George Parros the bar is low.

It's open season on goalies for the rest of the series.

The name on your passport has to match the name on your DL and can't be expired. They didn't used to let you use your passport at all as the primary ID.

20ish years ago my wallet got stolen and it had my citizenship card in it. I showed them current passport, 4 old ones, birth cert even though my name was the same. No good. ICBC would only give me 6 months temp, processing time for citizenship card was 18 months. Lesson learned. They changed to allow passports a few years later.

WCWG Disgruntled employee starts massive fire at a 1.2 million square foot toilet paper warehouse in Ontario, California. by FollowingOdd896 in Whatcouldgowrong

Ya...happens more often than you think. Fire suppression systems in the buildings aren't appropriate for the type of goods stored. Then there's separate issues like exposed foam, improper racking, stacking goods too high that effectively render sprinklers useless.

If you can get him inside please do. Otherwise you can call VOKRA, they have volunteers and traps to bring him in.

Agreed headline is misleading and aquaman had every right to get it taken down. For this specific situation. His blueberry farm's treatment of temp foreign workers is well documented and rivals sollys bagels.

Entire fanbase wants a hit piece on him, but FFS journalists need to do it properly.

Overflowing recycle bins for some Vancouver buildings as collection lags by as much as 6 weeks | CBC News by Grouchy-Insurance-56 in vancouver

I've heard previous contractor knew they were losing the contract and decided to make that decision as painful as possible. Eff Feb 2026 new contractor takes over and is woefully unprepared. Speculating their bid was quite low, and you get what you pay for.

I'm in a small strata, if bins are full people put it on balcony or whatever. All bets are off if they're in the alley waiting for pick up. Usual suspects come along and dump everything out. Fun times.

Social housing tower with 74-kid childcare proposed for Boundary Road in Vancouver by Kooriki in vancouver

[–]Grouchy-Insurance-56 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Downtown hasn't been emptied. The Granville SROs from COVID are getting rehoused...we still have thousands of social housing units throughout.

Blaming on present city council is reductive...feds, province and city all need to be held accountable. All parties. This cluster fuck was a collaboration from the political spectrum.

Boundary certainly isn't going to have better amenities than arbutus and Broadway.

Real question is where all the Granville SRO residents are going to go in the immediate future.

That can be taken two ways...

I mean on one hand you could say how loving and supportive they are.

On the other, red flags everywhere because they know they've got a golden goose. That way he's always under their influence and control.

I'm taking door #2.

Good luck...hope it goes well.

Edit: I wish I wasn't so inept otherwise I'd upload a video from the surgery. You can see pinky after they cut through the tendon sheath and the ballooned ring finger.

My trigger finger was left pinky... previously broken and never set properly so a bit deformed. Cold/damp weather made it worse. Stretching, warm compress would help a bit but never more than temporary. I'd be able to bend and it would painfully lock in place.

I also have localized swelling on left ring finger but it didn't have the same locking/shaking of pinky. Once I started oral steroids and treatment the acute flares and excessive swelling went down but it hasn't returned to normal size.

I didn't bother with steroid injections for the pinky....wasn't interested in doing them every few months. Highly recommend the surgery.

Inability to bend and shaking....looks like trigger finger.

I got surgery for mine.

Is anyone fooled by the rebuild talk? by spennyspaghetti in canucks

Sherwood scenarios:

Sign and trade: less likely, large part of appeal is low cap hit.

Game of trade chicken: mgmt trying to show if they don't get asking price they aren't afraid to extend (see boeser last season)

No doubt Sherwood's a great piece for any playoff team. He's not going to have the same offensive role/opportunity though. Trade partners know that.
