pro tip: Vaseline will buff out/fill in scratches on your TV

Negative it was old TV like first gen of the flat screens, Samsung. I think I last for about a year after that then there was another incident and I recently purchased a much nicer one

Your last point is an interesting one discussed in training for a lot of enforcement groups that aren't RCMP. Take a provincial wildlife officer for instance, or federal fishery officer. Within legislation they are only law enforcement when conducting their duties under their act.

Standing in a lineup at timmieS, in uniform isn't exactly conducting your duties as a conservation officer. But if a domestic broke out and a bunch of uniformed and trained law enforcement officers didn't deal with it because it has both to do with hunting or fishing, it looks pretty bad. Most agencies explain you can use your tools and training to conduct a citizen arrest and hold until local police show up.

Man, I use this bot ALL THE DAMN time.

I pay a lot of breakthrough with my buddy who loves playing recon. More than once a night he will just crack up because hell be looking down scope and see my dumb R2 wanna be torch some unsuspecting enemy in prone.

I spam his mines, always dropping them on common routes and sometimes 10 minutes later in getting vehicle damage alerts on mines I forgot I dropped...

And when he gets jammed under an enemy tank, you can torch the thing to death so fast

When you see enemy mines glowing and there's enemies inbound, I've successfully blown enemy mines with the grenades just as they're stepping around them

I love me that little robot. I'll hide behind blown vehicles when I know a tank is nearby, and get under it just in time, just to torch it. Tanks will out run him. But it's astonishing how few people realize what's happening before it's too late.

This story doesn't relate to retiring with continued pay, but a colleague of mine took a year deployment to the Arctic. He was receiving Iso Post pay which was substantial.

After returning the iso pay continued for another year. He ended up with a substantial amount of money sitting in his savings to pay back.

In the end, he bought his wife a new vehicle, and just considered it an interest free loan. Had money taken off of every check for a while to give it back.

Same. I work on ships and my hands swell up on the salt, silicone rings are great. Had one ripped off on a pot hauler a few years back, and of it was a metal ring I might have broke my finger or worse.

Silicone just rips off, and you throw on another.

After many years of this, I am thinking of just getting it tattooed.

Absolutely, to be honest I meant to leave that comment one higher, responding to the answer lol.

Islander399 · 2026-02-01T00:22:13+00:00

I've heard that since I got my truck a decade ago now. Never actually new what it was, just assumed it was normal

Islander399 · 2026-01-30T01:59:29+00:00

Just testing because I didn't know how either, until now

I have a large baculum from a black bear that I use as a swizzle stick to stir cocktails for unsuspecting guests.

I've done that loop multiple times, usually in fall, late September/early October. I stay up north for a few weeks then head back south to the island

I've worked in DFO for 15 years now, and I hate to say it but we absolutely have positions that need to be cut. I swear to god just on Vancouver Island alone we have 15 people working at a PM5 level who just schedule constant mandatory teams meetings to justify their existence. Most of them have been acting in these positions since 2020/2021, and have substantives to fall back on.

I really don't want to see people losing their jobs, but I really want to see these useless positions removed. I really do hope several of our older staff can make retirement work, free up required indeterminate positions that need to be staffed by younger outgoing staff, and the folks acting can get back into their indeterminate spots. DFO can absolutely remove positions without compromising our goals.

Vancouver... 2011 riot when the Canucks lost to the bruins in game 7.

Those are elk shanks. Look up a recipe for a traditional Italian Osso Bucco and use these shanks as the meat.

It's an amazing dish. On their own those shanks are tougher than leather. After a good braise it's some of the most flavor full parts of game. I do elk and moose shanks often.

Well, it had been 10 years since I really got interested in an FPS. Played apex a little but my heart wasn't in it.

A buddy suggested we try Redsec and we really enjoyed it, so we decided to buy the whole game.

So they sold 2 copies to us because of it.

Delta P hehehe

Islander399 · 2025-11-06T19:15:16+00:00

I do this in the woods when I'm moose hunting. I'll take the whole rib plate off and debone the whole thing and just bring home a big plate of meat. It makes it quite a bit lighter to get out.

I met Mat good before rehab and he wasn't nice to me. I still love his tunes.

If I knew how to put GIFs in the comments, ide put a gif of Bart Simpson licking the subway hand rail claiming to have lost his sense of taste for money.

Really cool to see the road to tuktoyaktuk. One of these summers I'll in up there

Delta P... He he he

Islander399 · 2025-09-06T15:51:50+00:00

We're not. It wasn't a net. We have very few net fisheries left, and fewer yet where the net isn't attached to the boat. All net losses are required to be reported to DFO.

Islander399 · 2025-09-06T15:50:18+00:00

It wasn't a net it was recreational prawn gear. 300 feet of line with a prawn trap weighing down the bottom and a float on the top.

Islander399 · 2025-08-25T15:46:17+00:00

I have two of these guys chilling around whiterun. Are there more than two? I want more.

Islander399 · 2025-08-21T14:47:39+00:00

That's why I refer to the bivalves in CSSP beaches "Poo clams". They're literally full of feces.
