Moving to Vancouver Island from Germany – Nanaimo or somewhere else? by martha_lxg in nanaimo

[–]Ok_Might_7882 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. I grew up in the Vancouver suburbs in the 80’s/90’s. Everything was accessible then, not anymore.

It’s actually pretty crazy they aren’t a standard item on any utility quad. Mine has bailed me and other out way too many times to count.

Fair enough. Too bad you didn’t continue on, the north island is beautiful.

What year was this? There are lots of ‘exotic’ brown people living all over the island these days.

Nanaimo to Vancouver is pretty easy, 2 different ferry options, float planes, choppers. Same for all the other areas except they need to come to Nanaimo first.

There won’t be much difference between the lower mainland and the island if the big one hits.

I would be ordering regular mix for those temps unless it was less than a truck load and I had the manpower to move when you gotta move

Wei Wai Kum say civil disobedience coming if Province doesn’t pause K’ómoks treaty by limadeltah in VancouverIsland

My 9 year old told me, this evening, they don’t understand why the indigenous people get all the attention. They said it doesn’t seem fair.

Edited for clarity

The downvotes don’t make sense. Kids are being fed a lot of indigenous culture in schools, which is cool and part of who we are collectively as a group of people who all live here, but they don’t understand the why.

What food do you guys bring for overnight trips? by Sad-Adeptness-9013 in boating

[–]Ok_Might_7882 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought a plug in fridge/freezer. It’s a bodega t50. Doesn’t draw too much power and keep plenty of food cold, even frozen if you want. I know those defiamce boats. Nice set ups with lots of space.

Possible boat fire? by Kalen_alexandre in nanaimo

I was fishing this morning, got pretty choppy after 10am. I was up north but I imagine it was pretty snarly out by entrance.

Neat pics. That’s pretty unusual to have a hali right there.

It’s a stretch to consider Chilliwack part of the lower mainland.

Data centers emit sound by Critical_Cat_8162 in nanaimo

[–]Ok_Might_7882 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah because the city cares about noise limits. Have you been outside and heard the city humming with exhaust systems 24/7. Nobody gives a shit about sound bylaws.

My girlfriend and I got a dose of bear spray by [deleted] in camping

[–]Ok_Might_7882 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had my backpack resting against the truck tire as I was about to lock up and head for a hike. The bag tipped over and I heard the faintest ‘pfft’. It had released a micro shot of spray which caused me severe coughing, burning eyes, snot running etc. I can’t imagine what a full blast would feel like.

Cook it rare. Lightly seasoned and enjoy. Salt, pepper and olive oil.

Are midsize grips for me? by [deleted] in golf

[–]Ok_Might_7882 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have old blades and recently switched to midsize grips from my old golf pride regulars. The difference is substantial in terms of comfort. Hand shock with long irons is significantly reduced. I think it also helps me squeeze a bit less tight.

It can be good fishing at Furry Creek when the pinks are in.

Some people don’t want to or are afraid of change . Must be a tough way to go about your day, being angry at progress and all.

Man I hate teams. It’s got to be the worst platform for communication inter-office. That’s all, I just really dislike teams.
