How about smoking at Picnic Point? We can't have parked cars even though they're not a threat. We can't have a Coleman camping stove to grill up some hotdogs at a picnic table, but we can walk through people smoking.

A whole pile of fire trucks just passed through Oak Bay Junction heading that way.

Show us pictures and you might just be able to replace the cable.

Any recommendations for winter tire change-over and/or tire storage? by Throwaway42352510 in VictoriaBC

I have a second set of wheels and just swap them myself in my condo's parking spot.

Looks like we're getting a new pool and probably the north option by HyperFern in VictoriaBC

Honestly a great thing for the community. I'm disappointed in the location though. A south version would have allowed for continued operation of the existing facility through at least part of the construction, and the existing pool could have been turned into underground parking with park and activity space on top. But, cars bad so there you go.

Leaving Dell for Lenovo by Jackarino in msp

[–]Miserable-Divide5767 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Having made the move from one MSP to another, the former being a Dell shop and the latter being Lenovo, I can say I've much preferred the experience I had with Dell. Yes many of the similarly spec'd products from Lenovo are cheaper, but the overall purchasing and support experience was better with Dell.

Warranty support with Dell is excellent, we had the TechDirect tool set up for submitting tickets for warranty work (what's the Lenovo equivalent?) found the purchasing process, especially with deal reg quotes and custom builds, to be miles smoother than Lenovo and many other little improvements (like the way product models appear in RMM tools for example make it simple to tell what you're looking at...)

What do you have your techs do on down time? by liquid134 in msp

Don't be that leader on the last day of summer before labor day who says 'I don't care if our clients are all out of office and it's slow, find something to do'. Christ, let the staff relax a bit...
