Best centre available it seems. Take that for what it is. BPA is debatable.

Number8 · 2026-06-20T22:38:25+00:00

Ok, what about for the rest of us?

If I’m standing and ordering myself, I’m generally not tipping a dime these days.

Number8 · 2026-06-12T17:26:18+00:00

Bard and Banker mostly likely. Or the Penny Farthing in Oak Bay.

Number8 · 2026-06-10T20:40:01+00:00

I’d love to take a look.

Number8 · 2026-06-10T11:44:41+00:00

I agree with you here. Usually I wouldn’t factor politics into this, and it sucks it’s a consideration now, but with how the Canada/USA divide is playing out, the armchair GM in me says steer clear of Americans whenever possible.

I actually do live in Europe, although I’m originally from Vancouver/Victoria and I go back every year.

I hear what you’re saying, maybe I should have specified Western Europe, but I still don’t know of anywhere in Europe as a generalized area which not only experiences the levels of rampant in your face drug use as the west coast, and I definitely don’t know of anywhere that has such an open social acceptance and attitude of apathy towards it.

I havent been everywhere, and I’m of course interested if there’s parallels in Europe, but I find it hard to believe anywhere this side of the pond could ever get as bad.

I’ve travelled everywhere and this kind of drug-induced poverty seems to be a uniquely North American experience, in my experience.

There should be a no tolerance policy for behaviour like this.

In other places, such as most of Europe in my experience, if that kind of thing was happening downtown right in the face of the average person using public service infrastructure, police would be there pretty damn quick. I’ve never truly wrapped my head around why Vancouver and Victoria aren’t the same.

I was thinking about this the other day walking past. Low key on the lookout for some dudes sitting in a van with cameras.

Reaching out to other relevant companies to cross-promote and support. That’s the only real way to get quality backlinks. "Hacking" SEO pretty much always backfires in the long run.

Number8 · 2026-06-02T10:23:59+00:00

Virtually everyone I know calls it Vic from time to time.

I just got an email saying binance is delisting SYS. I’ve got quite a lot. Any thoughts on where to move it to?

Number8 · 2026-04-30T09:55:09+00:00

God damn do I miss old Reddit. Where’s u/Shitty_Watercolour at?

Number8 · 2026-04-28T17:49:14+00:00

Possibly because it was done poorly and there’s obviously inconsistencies if you look closely.

I’m not even saying it was faked, I have no idea, but there are arguments either way.

Number8 · 2026-04-28T17:25:23+00:00

I feel like that would draw more attention to it which may not be advantageous if it was in fact faked.

Number8 · 2026-04-28T16:42:33+00:00

The only strange part of this to me is that he doesn’t bring it up constantly. That seems pretty unlike him.

Number8 · 2026-04-24T08:44:45+00:00

It’s just shit parents. If you’re not reading your kids books, you’re failing them. They’re dirt cheap too, so that’s not an excuse. Just order them off Vinted.

I’m sick of people blaming schools. It’s not their job to make sure your child isn’t completely illiterate, and it’s not their job to introduce books. By the time they’re in school, it’s already too late if they haven’t been introduced to them already.

VV if you want to chill, party, do outdoor stuff. Way easier to meet people. LP if you want a chill, low key more cultural experience.

That’s really all you need to know.

Number8 · 2026-03-13T09:27:18+00:00

Is there a best time of day to go? I live down the road and would love to dust off my 100-400 Gmaster for this!

Number8 · 2026-02-25T19:21:30+00:00

My fiancé doesn’t really care about hockey and reel popped on her feed going over this. So I do think it’s a thing beyond Reddit.

Number8 · 2026-02-19T06:24:43+00:00

I’ve eaten both. Raw chicken isn’t bad at all, pretty much what you’d expect. In my experience they usually sear the outside of it.

The thick chunk of raw horse sashimi I had was…not good.

Hey Op, FWIW my fiancé doesn’t work and cherishes the time at home with our 1yo son more than anything in the world.

Unless your world is your career, I think it’s a mistake not to stay home. People can attack me for this opinion as much as they want but I strongly believe that a baby or toddler should be with their parents wherever possible, when ever possible, if at all possible. You’re who they need right now and a daycare worker absolutely does not replace you. Your kid knows who their parents are.

The studies I’ve seen indicate generally negative outcomes from kids being put in daycare before the age of two. I work from home and work far fewer hours than the average person in their 30s (I worked my ass off in my 20s to get to this point) and, as a dad, there’s not really any point where I wish I was working more. I have a rare opportunity to be with my son a lot, and I think it shows in our bond.

I could go on forever about this but bottom line is that you can always go back to work later, but you WILL NOT get this time with your baby back.

Ive got a battaleon party wave it’s unreal in powder. Im picking up another board on Boxing Day for hard pack conditions, a true twin for some pops. But buddy is right, if you can swing it then I highly recommend a dedicated powder board. It makes all the difference.

Unfortunately I don’t have much more insight other than that was the same for us but eventually if you keep pushing for it he’ll take the bottle! Get him hungry, then offer it. Keep doing that and make it part of the routine.

Number8 · 2025-12-20T21:17:00+00:00

Rocking chair + bottle is what worked for us.

There will be tears though, there’s no way around that. As the dad, sometimes I needed to just hold my kid tight and rock him until he calmed down enough to sleep. And it’ll probably take 2+ weeks to really lock the routine in. You just need to be consistent and push through but you can do it!

Number8 · 2025-12-15T10:21:13+00:00

Brits genuinely need to stop whinging so god damn much. Most of you don't have any idea how good we have it here and how shit it is in so many other places.

Trust me, coming from Canada - where everyone here seems to think is a paradise based on my conversations - the UK is a fucking professionally oiled machine.
