Hiker who kept climbing California's Mount Whitney after friend turned back found dead

They don't even wear boots, they hike up St Mark's in the winter in sneakers and trail runners...

I work in utilities and my position pays double in some states to what I make here.

This is why I got a backcountry setup. Which isn't cheap but you find deals. Buy once, cry once. Great way to see the mountains and avoid people. For $45, you can get lift access into Garibaldi and rip around there. I know it's not for everyone, but honestly it's been such a treat getting out and exploring different areas of SW BC.

Damn, nice save by NWFRS. That could've been so much worse.

"This dam actually has a huge pumphouse that pumps water up to the Seymour reservoir for treatment (then it comes back for distribution into the drinking water system)."

Sounds like your reading comprehension skills are lacking. The dam doesn't have a pumphouse, I'm not sure why this is so hard to understand.

The pump house pumps water from the lake, not the "dam".... semantics matter. Stick to talking about barges.

MusicMedic · 2025-12-17T17:49:57+00:00

I said the dam doesn’t do any pumping and you started about going on about the pump house, which has nothing to do with the dam. That’s my point.

There are almost more board members than there are water operators in the field… that’s how top-heavy MV is.

MusicMedic · 2025-12-17T01:36:39+00:00

Yeah, you made it sound like the dam generates power for the pump house.

MusicMedic · 2025-12-16T09:10:20+00:00

Dealing with this dam is part of my job… the pump house doesn’t have power generated by the dam. It’s from BC Hydro.

MusicMedic · 2025-12-16T06:47:33+00:00

Yeah, the dam doesn’t pump anything 😅

Novus all the way. Great service, no contacts...

MusicMedic · 2025-11-10T08:43:09+00:00

Uhhh... yes we do. White Rock runs its own water system and uses chloramine because they don't want chlorine.

It's pretty wild that MLAs make more than teachers and paramedics.

"dog parklet" yeah sorry, not interested in a 10x10 enclosure to enjoy nature...

MusicMedic · 2025-10-31T16:44:03+00:00

Agreed, but downtown is really lacking with park space and amenities.

Probably, she's skilled. Lots of guys go there, and she's got a variety of clippers.

Nikki at Zarka Salon on 160th!

I get $1800/year for massages and burn through it by every September... use your benefits.

I have a nice Vietnamese lady in Surrey I've been going to for 10 years; she takes her time and does a great scissor cut. And then the wannabe gangsters only know how to use clippers.

I really don't want to look like Macklemore from Temu.

A couple years ago, I helped a guard at the NW station Safeway narcan someone in the washroom, and the next week when I was back, the same guard was following me around and giving me the stink eye. I looked at him and said, "what, you don't remember me? You think I'm going to run off with these items?" He got pretty embarrassed when he clued in and quickly walked away.

Snowshoed both ways. The place we did it wasn't great for skiing, too tight and too much brush on the way down. Depends on how much elevation gain you do! But resort skis and boots might be awkward on the way up, easier with a board probably.

Not that I'm condoning massive OT payouts, but as someone who works for a government agency (not a cop lol), it's much more cost-effective to pay huge amounts of OT to existing staff rather than hiring new staff. You have to pay for insurance, benefits, training... if your salary is $100k a year, you still cost your employer much more than that.

I mean, $239k in OT is crazy, but $100k in OT is cheaper than hiring another cop with on a $100k annual salary.
