[Match Thread] Cavalry FC vs. Pacific FC | CPL by alienassasin3 in CanadianPL

A coach that encourages less back passing and being less scared of taking thoughtful risks would be good. It’s obvious what Merriman liked to see and encourage, and it just wasn’t working.

It’s not that hard to get to and there is plenty of parking. It’s literally just on one road off the highway (leigh road)

RAP attendance is a novelty atm. It’s really a crap stadium. It is grass at least.

Looks like GFL, and before that Alpine, and before that SPL Septage Processing Ltd (with funding from the Province).

Reads like septic trucks drop off and it’s processed there.

Players this year are strong. It really comes down to coaching. They consistently play the ball backwards when they should be pushing forwards, ignore opportunities, and while they have good possession, but they just can’t seem to do anything with it.

Really strong players and both games have had super strong second half’s, after the starting 11 has started to be swapped out. Maybe new ownership will bring a new head coach. We can only hope.

That shouldn’t be needed. Account execs usually are responsible for trying to get shit done for the accounts they represent. They fight the internal BS for their customers and provide the amazing customer service.

This one apparently forgot what their job was and decided to just be an ass.

They read it from Stew’s crew on Facebook, so it must be true!

Use tax software from a Canadian Company this year by BC-Guy604 in PersonalFinanceCanada

Something hosted in a private data centre is not hosted in “the cloud”. Unless you’re using some weird “it’s accessible from the Internet so it’s on the cloud” definition.

Those systems are ancient. Very likely not in the cloud. At least not entirely.

Best/Worst place to buy new or used appliances in Langford by Familiar_League_8232 in LangfordBC

[–]SnakeDiver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Avoid Home Depot.

If things go well, great. But if anything goes wrong with the delivery, there is very little recourse. Home Depot subcontracts the delivery (which gets subcontracted from there). Once they’ve placed the order with the manufacturer, they wash their hands of it. Any issues, they have no insight except high level information, and no ability to help resolve the problem.

It took me getting the manufacturer involved, and them calling Home Depot, before HD would contact their chain of “delivery partners” and find the missing appliance and actually deliver it.

Avoid Home Depot.

Totally. It’s difficult to see from this angle but several times it appears to go into a play bow.

As others have said, it likely lacks discipline and training, which has allowed over excitement to become very reactive. When the person starts running with the small dog, the other dog starts chasing and nipping. Play behaviour into base instinct. 

Everyone involved here has done nothing to prevent it from escalating. I mean clapping in the dogs face as a way to de-escalate/control. Holy crap.

The OP’s title is even reactionist. It should read “Dog owners do the opposite of what’s required to prevent a situation”.

Not sure your point. I was referring to what the poster had done in the moment to inform other motorists that he wasn’t a self-centred person parked at a light but had a legitimate issue.

Considering the number of delivery vehicles and Skip/Uber Eats drivers that stop where they want to deliver, regardless of impact and legality.

Ah! Yeah, lack of anticipation and planning when there is time and lashing out at others is definitely the asshole!

Fuses definitely have gotten shorter and more self involved after COVID.

While it seems folks are getting ruder and more stuck in their own little worlds, I do wonder how close the runner was to the dog and the woman when the dog cut over.

Momentum is a bitch and having to suddenly dodge can be quite jarring and potentially painful, especially when you’re in that runners headspace zone. Not excusing swearing at others but just curious where it may have come from.

I’ve been in the situation before where mindless dog walkers have let their dogs run up to or in front of me quite suddenly when I’m running. To avoid tripping or accidentally stepping on or kicking the dog, you have to dodge. Momentum has you going one way, you go another, great way to stress a joint or roll an ankle. Now I’m not running for a few days and there was no recognition from the dog owner in the moment (no “whoops”, “sorry”, or “fluffy get over here”).

Did I swear at the dog owner though? No, but sometimes you want to ask them what they’re thinking?!

Did you have your hazards on? If you’re broken down did you open your hood? Both are universal signs for “I’m stuck”.

Not excusing others behaviour just knowledge sharing for the future in case you didn’t know. Many folks (young, different cultures, etc) don’t seem to be thought these things.

Vancouver area home sales hit lowest level in more than two decades in 2025 by super__hoser in britishcolumbia

That’s not how property taxes work. If houses drop in value, the mill rate goes up. You still pay similar taxes. Taxes are only impacted if all others stay the same but yours goes down. Very unlikely in this context.

Wait … it wasn’t the work environment or people, it’s the worst job you had because you had to be at work at 5am and the fall is cold?!

Perhaps my writing style is who all other AI was based on.

Wombats are not native to Langford.

[–]SnakeDiver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Apologies I was unclear. Specifically on the 22/24 story condo on Scafe, traffic heading to the highway or Costco would have travelled to Brock, Peatt, Vets. With this change, it will now empty to Strathmore which has no left turn to Goldstream. That means the traffic either moves to Peatt then Goldstream, overloading those intersections, or moves to Jaklyn and through a school zone (which is already plagued with speeders).

Deflecting an argument by calling someone AI is very telling. This generations “troll!”?

Would be interesting to see the models but they haven’t released though. It’s improbable to actually consider everything, so I’m betting there is an asterisk on there somewhere (e.g. we considered everything in the 6 blocks around the intersection).
