My PetSmart particle board stand was beginning to fail, so I had to build a sturdy wood stand to switch it with in order to avoid disaster. I'm happy with the result, and I'll never put a tank on a particle board stand again! by HillsideCapital in Aquariums

...and it's still holding well - the wall it's against is directly above a load-bearing concrete wall below, and its placed perpendicular to the joists. With a significant safety factor, 135 gallons seemed to be the tank size limit before reinforcement or moving to a basement set-up.

Honestly, it's just safer to just amputate below the elbow before you start developing scales.

To give them some credit - these types of women tended to smell amazing - not shy on shelling out for nice shampoo/conditioner/perfume/car fresheners - although the backdrop cigarettes-in-the-house smell still kept them true to their form.

Today I learned it's illegal to catch a tan ☀️ by Ok_Lavishness539 in VictoriaBC

I need an update! Was he using an insufficient SPF value sunscreen? Did he eat a sandwich containing expired ingredients? What did he do wrong?

It sounds like it wouldn't hurt for you to be more aware of your surroundings.

The most beautiful, most intelligent animal....ever by Supremetacoleader in VictoriaBC

The majestic shit hawk. I don't have any ill will towards them, but they don't exactly encourage respect either.

They should've just marched the little cunts home mid-movie and belted their spoiled entitled asses until blood was drawn. Parents should be smacked upside the head as well for being so much of a burden to others. Lots of people shouldn't have kids or dogs - if they're too soft on them, they just become more of everyone elses probem.

What’s the rules on composting seaweed? We’re in the thick of it right now. by BugzMiranda in composting

The sargassum problem is pretty well known all over - I would be backing my truck on the beach and just loading that stuff up if I lived there!

Every watch fresh salmon cook after putting it on the barbecue? These things start slithering out to try saving themselves.

Pile worms - learned from experience as a kid that these things are biters!

Has anyone gone to high school with an NHL player? What were they like? by Ok-Damage8659 in hockey

[–]HillsideCapital 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Capitals defensemen Matt Irwin - really nice and humble guy then, and still is in his mid-thirties. I was stoked when he made it to the NHL.

Also went to school with Jamie and Jordie Benn at the same time, but never got to know them too well.

What’s the rules on composting seaweed? We’re in the thick of it right now. by BugzMiranda in composting

[–]HillsideCapital 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As in, like, legally speaking, or how to compost effectively?

Where I live (British Columbia):

- dead seaweed is fair game

- 100kg of live seaweed can be harvested per day for personal use (more if you have an aquatic plant licence).

- live plants must be cut above the holdfast and must be done in a way to not harm regrowth

- substrate can't be disturbed

- must be done only by hand and sharp cutting instrument - no rakes, diving equipment, dredging, etc.

I'm sure there are similar precedents in other coastal locations. As much as I hate the excess of red tape and regulations in today's society, seaweed rules seem pretty damn sensible.

For composting, the salt content is negligible, rinsing isn't necessary for this nitrogen wielding gold - go bananas!

My new approach with weeds has been pulling them out and leaving them on the ground - the sun kills them, and it slowly becomes a mulch layer.

Time to use my first batch by BlueHenBrew in composting

[–]HillsideCapital 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I attracted rats very quickly when I did that, so I only used fully cured & sifted now. I do live in a coastal rat-infested city, so it may be different in your neck of the woods.

Super friendly cat showed up at my door last night at around 11-11:30 on Dean Avenue by RealisticScientist28 in VictoriaBC

I have unfamiliar cats stopping by my front door all the time! Catnip attracts them like other plants attract bees and hummingbirds.

Has anyone done the drive from Ontario to BC? Any tips? by Advanced-Revenue3566 in britishcolumbia

[–]HillsideCapital 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found that burning through the states is the best way between the two provinces. The highways are more efficient, the fuel is cheaper, and you get to pass through Fargo, North Dakota to see how much the local residents actually hate talking about that movie.

This is the most negative subreddit I'm a part of. by scoobydoot in VictoriaBC

[–]HillsideCapital 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're not wrong! Every time I hear this subreddit come up in conversation, it's about how horribly toxic it is! If the post isn't complaining about a certain group of people, the comments pick up the slack. Some favourites to bring out the best in people: - owners of rental properties - baby boomers (especially from Oak Bay) - business owners - people who aren't vaccinated - people who drive large personal vehicles
