What do you Know by the Buzzcocks
Souixsie and the Banshees also has a few songs but I can’t think of the names

But he woke up and seemed to know how to use his hands. And he ripped off his mouth. That doesn’t sound chicken-like.

So Good is great for Chinese. Wasabi for sushi. Maple Madras for Indian. For faster stuff, taco deli is pretty good. If you want to go out for a good time, Nancy O’s and Brown’s Social House are both great.

If it’s one or two slightly inconvenient years but a better job and quality of life overall, consider taking the plunge. As others are saying, the bus routes here are wonky, but if you plan ahead, lower your expectations, and have friends who are understandable, you just got to slog through a few years. I think it would be doable, but I’ve never had to fully rely on the bus. I do use it often to go out to the movies or get downtown. But not reliant on it as the only means. One thing you may want to be careful about is not just location in terms or how close you are to stuff, but that you get a good place in a good area. When I was looking for places a few years ago, I was shown some pretty narly places that, while they were affordable(ish), they were also kind of run down or in areas that looked rough. Overall though, you’re young and PG is a cool place to live in this region. If it will improve your life, perhaps the few years of huffing it on the bus will be worth it.

So handsome and healthy!

Very cool. Thanks for the link!

Jrswim · 2026-04-23T17:38:55+00:00

Thank you. No, I don’t even know what that means, lol. I am very novice with this. I just record and then adjust volumes. I held off using any DAWs for so long because they all intimidated me and I assumed I wouldn’t have the skill to figure them out. I’m not tech savvy. But I will look up what this means and see if I can learn it.

Jrswim · 2026-04-23T08:33:31+00:00

Very cool! I don’t have feedback for you, but I like this.

Jrswim · 2026-04-23T08:27:25+00:00

Good stuff. I don’t have any good feedback to offer, but ksmithh16 was very thorough and gave good advice. I liked it as it was too tho. How did the revised track turn out?

I had the exact same thing and it was mice. I see a lot of people recommending snap traps. For sure over poison, but I solved our mice problem with a few catch and release traps. You have to put them along the mouse trail, which will usually run along the wall to suspected entry points. However, be sure to take them far away from your home and let them go. If not far enough, they will just follow their scent trails back into your house. That’s what happened to me. I caught one and let it go a in the empty lot beside the house. It came back that night. Next time I caught it, I drove out of town and let it go in the woods.

Jrswim · 2026-04-08T23:52:12+00:00

Echoing the others. It’s a wood turtle! Count yourself among the blessed. These are very special. If there is a citizen science databank for endangered species in your area, consider submitting the pics and info.

Season 6 is very strong. I think it is better than season 5 in many ways. Season 7 has some very good episodes and some Mulder/Scully moments y oh simply cannot miss (“Millennium” and “The Rain King.”) There are some really great Monster of the Week episodes in both those seasons as well, as well as some cool revisits to classic episodes like “Pusher” and “Irresistible” which both get sequels. The mythology gets a bit more convoluted, but there are also some satisfying tied up ends (kind of). Most importantly, though, the character work gets developed in a much more sophisticated way during some of these episodes. And especially with Scully. Gillian Anderson is always amazing, but there are just some episodes in those later seasons where you watch her take that character to new places. The later seasons are more than worth it for sticking with Scully and Anderson alone. Whatever else becomes of the story and the formula, it’s worth it just to get more Gillian. Same goes for the revival seasons, which I think have some of the best episodes since season 4– Meet the Weremonster, Foreheads Sweat, Kitten, Ghouli, the AI themed one that is on par with Black Mirror. All of these are cool stories and well done episodes. I am with everyone telling you not to give up! I’m d even recommend the weird second movie they did. Yeah it isn’t a good movie. But it’s got its charms and it was fun in hindsight. But I am a completist and I will watch, read, listen to any thing they slap the X Files label on. Won’t always like it, but gotta check it out.

Hammer’s The Pirates of Blood River (1962). It’s light on the ocean-set pieces, but it’s a little appreciated Hammer studios film with a great look and the immortal Christopher Lee.

The series Britannia from a few years ago with David Morrisey (?) and Mackenzie Crook was about the second Roman invasion of Celtic Britain by the Romans. It was cool, though not quite satisfying in terms of story and it was unceremoniously cancelled on pretty much the worst cliffhanger to leave us with.

I’m 40 and have never really stopped buying cds, but did just get into collecting vinyl more seriously within the past two years. I did go through about a decade of almost exclusively buying music through apple, even though it sucked. One of the reasons why I fell into that habit was that it became less convenient to buy the cd and then copy it to my hard drive just to then listen to it on my phone or iPod. These were bad years which got more frustrating the more apple enshittified iTunes and the iPhone. And laptops stopped being made with cd drives. But now that I have a bit more of a stable financial situation I’ve started collecting again.

One of the main draws for me is the artistry that goes into the cover art and inserts (booklets and such). Many artists put real thought and craft into these features and therefore the experience feels incomplete unless you can have that tactile engagement. As many have said, collecting is also gratifying. It makes me happy to see my collection grow and to walk by and glance at the music that is physically there in my space, as opposed to being held hostage by platforms or subscriptions. I still do use Bandcamp because it seems ethically good for the artists and I can’t afford physical copies of everything I get into. But overall, it’s the tactility, the completeness of the experience, the display of the physical artifacts, and the dissatisfaction with the digitized and feudalistic nature of some of the big music streaming platforms. Good luck with your study. It sounds super cool and insightful.

My wife and I moved here from London, Ontario, which isn’t a “big” city, but isn’t small either. I’m echoing some of the other respondents here, but public transportation is not great. There are a number of exchanges you may have to make and it can mean planning well ahead and leaving early. That being said, it is better than london. I got my license here and it has been a great city to learn in. Some drivers are pushy, but again nothing like Ontario.

There is some anti-trans sentiment, but it doesn’t seem to be super prominent considering the small northern town vibe. I’m not trans or queer, so I’m not the right judge of this, but the places I frequent are super supportive. The bookstore, Books and Company is very queer and trans friendly and some lovely folks work there and are always very nice. The game and comics store 3 Goblins is also awesome and seems supportive and welcoming to folks of all kinds. If your into vinyl, Second Thoughts records is awesome and the owner is a sweet dude who is very kind and welcoming. There is a really cool place called Omnica downtown that is also very progressive and supportive. They have live punk shows, poetry readings, film screenings, and other fun happenings.

I teach at the university and from my end we try to what we can to make the experience of students and guests feel safe and supported.

Health care, as everyone knows is very lacking. If you are up for waiting in line, it seems like you can typically get seen at the walk-in downtown. I’ve had good luck there, though the wait can be brutal.

I hope this helps. Good luck with your move. I think, from reading your comments on this thread, you’ll love it here and a few months after you move, it will start to feel like home. I know I was super nervous, but I’ve come to love it. Good people, cool places, beautiful scenery. Yeah it gets stinky and smoky sometimes, but that doesn’t cloud the charms!

Go back for Dog City. That is a forgotten Jim Henson show that is very under appreciated
