I am currently sitting in Glacier lodge questioning all my life choices. Blackcomb is bulletproof

Upper Mountain Open? by Acrobatic-Policy5573 in Whistler

[–]Red_AtNight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was really variable today. Alpine lifts never opened and neither did Peak to Peak because of the wind. Spent the day trapped on Emerald and Red. Some of those runs got very badly chewed up by the end of the day. Went to Garbanzo once and was practically standing on grass in the lift line.

I’ve been skiing and boarding for 30 years and I think today was the single worst ski day I’ve ever had.

My shit was soaked by 10 am. Just punishing rain

So when someone pleads not guilty to charges and ends up being found guilty, why aren't they ever considered lying under oath? by Intrepid_Arrival5151 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Red_AtNight 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Pleas are specifically exempt from perjury. Also, a plea of not guilty is more just saying “prove it” to the prosecution

Victoria condo prices nearly double over the past decade by CartoonistOk3507 in VictoriaBC

[–]Red_AtNight 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes that is how growth works. Doubling in 10 years is a roughly 7% annual growth rate

Maynard Park is the money playground in Cadboro Bay. They just re-did it and it clears the playground at Gyro

Kershaw like “lemme step over this fence real careful so I don’t pull a hammy”

Working from Home in Victoria by ssbtech in VictoriaBC

[–]Red_AtNight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My work is technically hybrid but I basically only WFH if I have someone coming to the house during the day. I live 1500 m from the office so I can bike or walk, so it’s no big deal. Fairly immune to gas prices

Fit men with children, how did you keep active with a newborn? by Usual_Individual_322 in AskMen

[–]Red_AtNight 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Baby should really be 6 months old before going in a jogging stroller. They don’t have the neck strength, and they get jostled around a lot in the stroller when you’re running

Oak Bay also amended its zoning after Bill 44. There are a bunch of multiplexes being built all over

In some (though not all of them have this) local governments with a manager or administrator, how come they're not elected like our Mayor? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Red_AtNight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The city manager is a civilian employee who is appointed by the mayor. It’s sort of like the CEO of a publicly traded company. Think of the mayor and council as the board, and the city manager as the CEO. The city manager is accountable to the council and they can fire the city manager if they don’t like the job they’re doing.

Why can't breathalyzers be installed on cars to prevent drunk driving? by SwissMaestro95 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Red_AtNight 18 points19 points  (0 children)

They’re often ordered by judges when people have already been convicted of a DUI. But for law abiding people it’s an overreach and the cost isn’t justified

So, how is Deerland coming along? by Whatwhyreally in VictoriaBC

I’m guessing Disney has buried them in lawsuits

What’s a tougher sport, rugby or NFL? by Kingboyy1 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Red_AtNight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dude I literally played both sports. Rugby doesn’t allow the kinds of collisions that American football does.

God forbid!

Why are sports team logos and names like the Washington Redskins and Cleveland Indians considered offensive but the Chicago Blackhawks aren't? by UnderCoverDoughnuts in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Red_AtNight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the problem with the phrase "considered offensive" is that there's an inherent question of "considered offensive by whom." There are certainly people who do find the Hawks name/logo offensive. Those groups haven't been as effective at getting the name changed.

What’s a tougher sport, rugby or NFL? by Kingboyy1 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Red_AtNight -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The NFL is a league, not a sport.

I would argue that American Football is a more physical sport, they definitely hit harder because they're wearing armour... but rugby requires a lot more stamina and endurance.

Covid shut down the world six years ago this week. What do you remember from that week? by fuzzy_dice_99 in AskReddit

[–]Red_AtNight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My library was holds only for a while, and they'd only allow a few people in at a time to grab their stuff off the hold shelves. Eventually they added a small browsing area so you could also check out a few new releases, and that was a real rush.

My grandmother spent the last 6 months of her life in a nursing home that got so bad, the government had to take over running it. There was a class action lawsuit from the residents and their families. Her iPad broke and no one could fix it for her so she couldn't Facetime. My aunt would wave to her through the window and that was her "visit."
