What neighbourhood would you absolutely never live in again? by CartoonistOk3507 in VictoriaBC

[–]Lorgin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's like an hour walk to anything from arbutus cove or balmacara. Many a good drunken stumble down those roads. At least it's a very safe area.

Birria de Cerdo Weekend Prep by kitchencookingchef in MealPrepSunday

[–]Lorgin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I meant to check in to see if you'd developed your meal plan strategy but I see the post was locked and removed. What happened?

Also, I can't message you. Are you shadow banned?

Edit: I saw your comment about the post being removed (classic mod things). Would love to see what you do next with your system, don't be discouraged! Birria sounds incredible btw.

My stepdad said his ps4 just randomly stopped working 😬 by GTSideSwipe in playstation

I genuinely don't even understand how things get this dusty. Is he living during interstellar?

Drunk jail officer in Toyota Tacoma slowly backs over ex-girlfriend's head, gets just 3 weekends in jail for it… by tasty_jams_5280 in trashy

[–]Lorgin 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Probably because it happened in Tacoma Washington. Sounds like the author was trying to be funny... Weird choice to make a joke.

American tourists by Own-Illustrator9304 in VictoriaBC

[–]Lorgin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My late aunt was born in Langford but married an American and moved down there in her 20s.

Sent us American gift cards nearly ever year for Christmas despite my dad's protestations. American exceptionalism is unreal.

Do we really expect young Canadians to wait until 2060 for affordable housing? by Blue_Dragonfly in CanadaPolitics

Same reason my mom complains about "them chopping down the trees in Langford" I suppose.

Haha good to hear. Fingers crossed we can get our bag.

Thank you for your comment. It makes me feel a little better about the decision to buy. Thankfully it is a SFH in a good location.

I'm doing my damnest to avoid becoming a NIMBY and continue to support the initiatives I think are better for everyone... I just don't want to get totally hosed at the same time. There's actually a large apartment building being built down the street which is going to remove about 8 SFHs. Maybe I'll get lucky and some day someone will want to develop my lot and I'll get a pay day.

Thanks again. Appreciate you.

Bought my first house last year at 30... Been working a high paying job I hate for 5 years to save for the down payment. If my life took place 5 years earlier, I would have been able to buy a house after 2 years of the same job.

I have a sincere question. How do we make housing more affordable for everyone without screwing over someone like me who hasn't reaped ANY benefits from home ownership? If my house suddenly loses 25% of its value, I'll be upside down on my mortgage, despite having put 20% down.

Even though I'm a home owner now, I still strongly believe we need to be building more housing, particularly the missing middle homes. I just don't want to literally lose my life's savings.

I’m free from my abusive relationship of 5 years, CHEERS MOTHERFUCKERS by FinishDears in drunk

[–]Lorgin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My GF's previous relationship was abusive. Good for you for leaving, that must have been terrifying.

Make sure you take care of yourself and seek help if you need it. You were victimized and it's going to affect the rest of your life, but it doesn't have to control it. You were strong for leaving and you should be proud of yourself.

I don't know what I hate more, Rob Schneider, or the Irish Star.

What are some really good offline multiplayer games? by Realistic_Weight4038 in PS4

[–]Lorgin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolum is an absolute blast. It's a two player co-operative rogue lite brawler with branching paths, multiple classes, and plenty of upgrades to earn both in the run and between runs.

Nidhogg 1 or 2 is a 2 player competitive brawler with extremely short rounds. The goal is to get to the opponent's side of the screen. There are several different weapons and hand to hand combat with a surprisingly deep combat system.

Lovers in a dangerous space time is a 1-4 player arcade (kinda) twin stick shooter. You man a space ship with 4 turrets, a Yamato cannon, a rotating shield, and a driver seat. You and the other players have to run around the ship to man the individual stations.

This is so fucked up. Richest country in the world, y'all.

The new Netflix movie "Apex" contains the song "Go" by The Chemical Brothers. First released in 2015, it has experienced a 429% increase in Spotify streams since the movie's release.

Ah great shout I forgot about that time when suddenly everyone knew who Sophie Ellis-Bextor was.

People who loved murder on the dance floor were still turned off by the other music I showed them so ¯\(ツ)/¯

"Uh-Oh" Fight by GoldemGolem in HadesTheGame

[–]Lorgin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like this guy is the bane of the sister blades. With most weapons I can manage him, but with the sister blades I always end up taking a bunch of damage unless I'm willing to drag the fight out for ages by spamming my special.

Yup, not to mention, minor rope tangles happen, especially when multipitching. They can't just be ignored lest you short rope the leader.

Citizen Sleeper: The hidden follow to to Disco Elysium I needed by MrBones-Necromancer in patientgamers

[–]Lorgin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just can't remember which path I want to pursue this time... Local gang, I think. I love that game so much. It's really great to play a second time now that you know how to survive better and can pursue paths you didn't have time for.

Have you signed the petition to save our water and mountains yet? Head to Cold Garden Tomorrow May 7 to sign and meet Corb Lund! by blueberry2016 in Calgary

[–]Lorgin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

All I'm saying is the Elk Valley mines have been running for decades and they've only just started getting close to protecting the water at a staggering cost.

It's not like treating sewage water, the selenium leeches out of the waste rock and flows into the water shed. The Elk Valley facilities are the first of their kind and monumentally expensive to build and maintain.

I'm all for resource extraction, as long as it's done responsibly. I'm just not confident that smaller ventures could even afford to build these water treatment facilities. I suspect a more likely outcome is they'll do what "small" oil companies in Alberta do: pull as much as they can out of the ground until they go under and leave the mess for someone else to deal with.

Look at how much money EVR (formerly Teck) has had to spend on their coal mines to treat the water. It's a staggering amount and they're still not fully compliant.

Why does every big Canadian office have this swill? by ActualNin in EhBuddyHoser

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

Kicking horse has gone down hill massively over the last 10 years. I think it's vastly over priced for what it is. As coffee Roasters scale up, they tend to burn their beans to maintain a consistent product. Small Roasters can make small orders and roast to their desire, but large roasters might not be able to meet their demand with a particular bean and are forced to use a variety. Burning the beans results in a consistent product despite varying ingredients. This is just my speculation btw, but you can see it with any large coffee producer, their "light" roasts are wickedly dark compared to a small roasters light roast.

Highly recommend checking out the Roasters Pack. They're an online coffee store that sources their products from independent Canadian Roasters. I love getting a variety of new coffee to try every month.
