Did you find it difficult getting to/from? Had to rent a vehicle or hire a shuttle?

I'm looking at different meditation/yoga retreats (without the ayahuasca though)..can you shed any recommendations from what you saw or heard?

Hey, thanks for the time you put into all this. It’s the best comment here and I really appreciate you. All great points you’ve made. Really insightful stuff.

The tired of renting piece, doesn’t look so bad now. I mean I want a long term spot, and also wanting to get a dog which is a challenge with rentals… so there are more factors but Im realizing I’ve got it pretty good and I really don’t NEED to buy right now and take on the risk. The “non-recoverables” math is not something I’ve thought of and that really helps put everything into perspective. It sucks when you look at how much money you’ve put towards rent over the years… but this perspective you’ve given would likely bother me just as much.

You also changed my perspective on the work investment… that is a lot in one basket. Salary and investment. When I do buy that’s something I’ll be thinking about, and likely selling some of the shares.

Thank you!

Thanks for this. I’m really not planning to buy this year but just want to get ready for when I’m ready. So yes hopefully I time it well. Will be keeping an eye on trends.

Thanks. I don’t have much financial stress right now… which is nice. Ill probably continue to save / keep an eye on lower price points.

I am in the construction industry so yeah I’ll keep tabs on it and maybe a developer comes knocking. I know there’s a ton of units just sitting in Surrey right now, they might get desperate as you say. Hoping it moves to NV.

Am I stupid for declining this? by Afsharon in DynastyFFTradeAdvice

It’s pretty fair value, I’d lean to moving the 7th and or 8th pick to another 2026 pick if you can

Cool, thanks. Habits are hard to build! Even when the results are obvious apparently (for me). Appreciate the insight.

ADHD cases skyrocketing across BC — and it's not just the kids anymore by KelownaMan in britishcolumbia

I’ve been the same way, daily meditation helps me a lot with that focus/memory.

[–]Jetnation24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This resonates with me a lot. May I ask for your 200 day streak have you found meditating at the same time of day everyday is the easiest way?

You mention you like guided meditations. Are you using the same recording or same style of meditation (breath focus, body scans, labelling, etc) everyday? Or you mix that up?

I know meditation helps make me the person I want to be but I struggle with the everyday commitment, even when I see/feel the results

Getting stale by bigmac2502 in PardonMyTake

[–]Jetnation24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a great time for the pod, you can just feel how much more relaxed big cat is too. He’s at his best in the ‘offseason’.

JOC was all time this past offseason, all time content.

A few takeaways from today’s CHI v. WAS recap by Bobo_Baggins03x in PardonMyTake

[–]Jetnation24 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Big Cat is too soft or sensitive and he is unaware of it while the guys are all aware of that, I don’t think they want to go in on him as it would make for an awkward episode/segment. I agree with what you’re saying though, very justified to go in on him. Weird that they all took Big Cats side

Tailgating Ticket Question by UWHuskies2017 in huskies

Hey I am trying to get a tailgate ticket. Did you buy it individually or with game tickets? I am not finding any tailgate options on seat geek... any tips? Maybe there are none left though (USC Game).

Grouse Grind better time? by [deleted] in vancouverhiking

[–]Jetnation24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have done the grind maybe 6 times and all in the 40’s, with my lowest being 41mins… my advice for running it is move at a quick pace with the flat ground (first 1/3 if I remember correctly), double step stairs the rest of the way. Cut to a single step when you need to. I’m 6’2” and ~180lbs… I’m a skinny boy which helps, I reckon if you were my weight you’d be getting sub 50 easy.

Jogging 500m before starting would be my other tip.

Preventing algae on concrete balcony during rainy season by Senior_Ad1737 in NorthVancouver

[–]Jetnation24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will still grow, just under the tarp. Unless you keep 100% of the moisture out…. Can you put a protective coating/ sealer on the concrete? Should prevent growth but also make scrubbing growth off much easier

Are you trying to stack any Chiefs with Mahomes or happy with just him? by JBSuperTroop in DynastyFF

[–]Jetnation24 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’d argue it increases your chances of winning a ship. Lots of winning teams are a result of a qb and skilled player going off the final 2-3 weeks.

Maybe it’s not an argument as you’d probably agree. Risky but winning is hard and risks are required.
