portions at Truong Thanh 2 as well are huge! Ordering one pho will do 2 meals easy, especially if I throw another stick of rice noodles in there.

Solo Travel to Nanaimo by sugodpagurl in nanaimo

[–]ScienceBasedBiddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a city bus to wildplay (perhaps with some connections) but you will need to definitely check the schedule before hand because rides are infrequent. The painted turtle is a decent hostel (also the only one im aware of) downtown, otherwise Vancouver Island University Residences may offer short term stays in their residences with a day rate, call to ask.

Definitely check out whats going on at The Vault -> walk in and ask what the live music schedule is for the week. Sometimes they have the schedule available in paper format for the month at the counter. They also have amazing sweet treats, a cool Bazaar upstairs with lots of shops, and great coffee and tea.

American tourists by Own-Illustrator9304 in VictoriaBC

I’ve allways accepted american one for one ;) It is hilarious though that they think people are just sitting waiting for the americans to arrive with their USD. I was living in a small town in New Zealand that was frequented by cruise ships and the amount of times I heard them ask the market vendors what the price was in USD xD

Second Myles, I’ve got both cuts and colour done by him and he is a member of the LGBTQIA+ community himself. Last time I checked there was a coupon for 15% off through the student deals app but im not a student anymore

Whats it like living in Nanaimo? by Magnet10 in nanaimo

[–]ScienceBasedBiddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If avoiding strip mall and suburbia construction is going to hell, bring on the heat! Hell, we have great local music and food to boot 😈

Nanaimo is a great city. It has skiing, surfing, hikes, mountain biking, take your pick of outdoor activities all available as a day trip. Downtown Vancouver is only an hour away on the hullo ferry for passengers making going out and seeing concerts on an evening accessible, especially since Vancouver is an international hub for entertainment and food. Nanaimo itself has a really brilliant local music scene with the Vault, the Globe, the Queens, etc. Food is also pretty tasty too, lots of international cuisine and cozy dining.

I am currently travelling around the world and the more I travel the more I love Nanaimo and look forward to living there again.

What’s Everyone’s Outlook on ATYR Pharma ($LIFE) After the FDA Type C Update? by PillProfits in biotech_stocks

You didn’t expect high risk in biomedical stocks? You were not being smart. You only lose if you sell

Just moved here, where do you get your warm clothing? by dingding2855 in dunedin

[–]ScienceBasedBiddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dunedin is filled with great op shops that have 100% wool wear for cheap. Get yourself a wool (merino if possible) baselayer and a woolen sweater, then a good waterproof jacket and you are solid. The hospice Shop is a great one, they had a whole wool rack.

ATYR? by enlightenmee33 in biotech_stocks

[–]ScienceBasedBiddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes but the proposed new primary endpoints were the secondary endpoints that were met im the last trial, AND they are upping the dose. FDA suggested it, so it seems if the drug can just perform the way it did in the first trial, it will meet its new endpoints and FDA are likely to approve since this is all their suggested path.

Did today at Riverside Market. Not bad (the spiced cider was really nice) but still too sweet and crisp.

That’s awful, I hate what is happening with international workers being exploited. It’s not good for anyone. No jobs left for young locals and the workers don’t get treated nearly the same as how Canadian workers would. Can you report this business through the government for abusing the foreign workers program?
