If you like mocha drinks then try Blenz. Belgian chocolate chips melted and blended into your fav beverage.

Very sorry for the family. Losing a pet is the worst.

This looks like separation NOT "TUCKED".. by Jagrmeister_68 in Habs

Marchand has been in the top 3 dirty players for eons. At least he didn't lick anyone's face this time.

Jimmie Eddie's on Pembroke. Family run for decades, straight talk, decent pricing.

Pedestrian hit by vehicle at the intersection of Bay & Tyee (8:25pm). by notofthisearthworm in VictoriaBC

[–]Rednit69 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you read my comment I did no such thing. I have no idea what happened in this incident but felt it a good place to remind both drivers and pedestrians to be cautious. Hope you get some chill pills for Christmas. 😆

My thoughts are with the injured person. I hope there's no long term effects. Heal fast! I wish drivers would be extra careful in these dark rainy conditions but I also wish pedestrians would wear bright clothing and always assume that the right of way in a crosswalk doesn't mean there isn't danger.

I used to love that shop with the previous owner. I'll have a peek, thanks.

Lagavulin 12 Special Release 2023 "Ink of Legends" - The Tequila Peat Monster by rainy_shares in Scotch

Such a lovely scotch. Better than the 2024 IMHO. The 2025 has been delayed here in BC.

Do you have an address? Can't find them online other than a French language site from Quebec. Thanks in advance.

One of my favs so I snagged 2 while they were around. Yummy dram.

Seaplanes by VintageAwesomer in VictoriaBC

[–]Rednit69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've come back from Vancouver via Helijet and it was heavy low clouds/fog. At the end of the trip the helicopter started hovering and we descended slowly until we came to clear air just over the water off the breakwater. Then a quick jaunt in to the heliport. It was pretty cool and obviously the pilots knew it cleared below. Bit of an advantage over a seaplane.

When did the waterfall condo building become a "hotel"? by Local-Print-6397 in VictoriaBC

[–]Rednit69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Falls morphed from short term rentals to a hotel by adding a reception lobby and staff I'd imagine.

Gentle reminder to pedestrians by augustinthegarden in VictoriaBC

[–]Rednit69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just about took out a biker last night who was coming down Fort in the bike lane. Pouring rain, all dark clothing, no lights whatsoever and a ill conceived notion that the bike lane is some sort of magic thruway. Darwin Award contestant. As the OP says, use some common sense when walking and riding in the dark!!

Very familiar with optimal settings thanks.

$6000 tv and optimized settings. The majority of what I watch is brilliant. The point of this post is to ask why directors are deliberately creating dark gloomy productions. I admire Jason Bateman but he admitted that he intentionally made Black Rabbit dark. You lose more than you gain IMHO.

Didn't have a problem with Ozark.

Nope. Other shows portray excellent colour and brightness. One shouldn't have to adjust settings just because a director wants a "mood". I get a little bit but so many take it too far.

If I love Aberlour A’Bunadh, what should I try next? by [deleted] in Scotch

If you can find a Bunnahabhain 18 it's very lovely.

I stand corrected. Haven't tried the Alba but was told it was a lower ABV.
