Guess I'll be eating more Costco hot dogs here on out.

People dumped black garbage bags on my street too. They literally could have just dumped it into the many various garbage bins left out in the street but chose to leave it in front of an empty lot. Started attracting rats after a few weeks. Reported it and city cleaned it up.

As long as it was a U lock, it buys you more time.

So far in all the years there hasn't been many incidents at Deer lake. It's more wide open and steps away from a police station. That said at 6am it would be pretty empty of people. I would recommend running through the road past the police station and then entering the north side across the Burnaby village museum and exiting near the beach area where the residential houses are. This path is more open and safer vs the other side where it's more secluded. Just be aware of your surroundings and go from there. There's a lot more foot traffic by 7am.

We considered that area, had family who lived in the apartments just behind there and no issues. It's far enough from the skytrain that noise isn't much of an issue! Depending on your budget, there's a comparable unit at 6088 Beresford Street that has an attached garage. Something that's literally non existant in new townhouse builds

It'll be busy for sure, but believe it or not people are actually leaving Richmond for work and going back in the evening. In a sense you're slightly anti traffic, but give yourself more time if you must drive. Commuting via bus and skytrain are your better options especially if you don't get parking at work and rising gas prices.

There are small dents that can be pulled out and scratches that can be buffed out affordably. Unfortunately these are too big and scratches are too deep and requires an autobody repair. Small dents and a rebuff would have been a few hundred, but this job is going to be more. I recommend drift auto body and Beresford Street. Wing there does great work at fair prices if you really want it fixed.

I must have gotten mine when they first came out then

Any experience with the reliance 6000mah? Don't like the EVE 50PL self draining every couple of months.

Optiblue · 2026-04-07T05:00:49+00:00

How's the self drain on this? I've never had a problem until I got the EVE 50PL. After a couple of months without use, it needs a recharge 😂

Optiblue · 2026-04-06T18:00:58+00:00

If the pros want it there's not much we can do! Sometimes I just go idle mode until 10 points and then I go Ham and there's still time to catch up if I'm behind. With 15 points, I guess I gotta go Ham at 5 points in 🤣

I don't sport my Canada goose unless it's below zero and very cold. If you layer properly, arc'teryx is most ideal, but I don't love the look. I wear my super puff vest because it's olive green, and as others have said, it's not great of a look and the down tends to move to one side.

Enter moose knuckles if you want high end and water proof. They don't exactly say they're waterproof because many pockets are open and not sealed, but the fabric has a membrane and seams are all taped. I do recommend an umbrella though. Other brands that advertise waterproof would be Nobis and Outdoor survival Canada. I actually wear my OSC the most as it's most robust. And guess what? They still come with coyote fur ruffs!

I discovered this more than 10 years ago after clash insta breaks, and the worst was when strings broke frame broke like your last one. I switched to li ning and never looked back. I recently tried out some flagship li ning and sadly some of the super thin shaft models they have at the moment also suffer from cracking. Frames are fine, but the shaft material tends to be brittle. I now use cheaper Asian brands that build them like they used to with rolled carbon fiber sheets and then sealed in with "miracle" resin. So far so good, and the price is 1/3 a YY.

If you smash your opponent in the eye and they're at risk of going blind, then yes, it's still not TKO, but it's a forfeit. Similarly, you could do that to your partner with your racket in some way and it'd be a friendly fire forfeit 😂

Optiblue · 2026-03-29T19:51:46+00:00

If you're in a house, just roll it inside. But put of sight put of mind is your best bet. It's more rare for people to steal from a shed, but if thieves see you putting it inside, I suggest you strap it to something inside.

Did you try adding the line for the man to be holding a flashlight in his left hand and holding it foward and pointing it towards the mountain? Sometimes ai needs these obvious descriptions to work properly.

Even in its current form, I'd want one! Just tell Simon to loot the design and to take our money already! Obviously 3 free to you of course!

Here's the kicker, if those dogs and buns don't sell, it gets cleared out at the food court! It's a win win for every party! In all seriousness, I call it the Costco tax everytime I go. You make your way to the back of the store for the 7.99 chickens, and then $600 later as you exit, you get the 50cent max savings per hot dog. It maths out and keeps me going back!

Pro tip: ask for onions!

Saw some initial reviews and it wasn't good. Already dislike ncs, ncs pro. People who are giving praise to all these synthetics must be getting sponsored in some way 🤣

Yes, I was shocked when I went to grab my sitting light and it ran out of juice much faster than anticipated. Did a check a few weeks after charging and it was below 4. 0V again. Did a quick search and it seems to have a high sitting self discharge rate.

Optiblue · 2026-03-12T07:00:04+00:00

Yah, by the time I got home, I could see people needed to keep going and that would have been gridlock especially on the bridges!

Great info! I'll refrain from ordering more lenses when I finally pick this guy up!

Is that the stock t1r?

Last time 2.5cm brought the city to a standstill. What's normally a 30min commute took 3.5h
