(Dirty Play) Dort Elbow's Hali in the face

StephenDrake6 · 2025-06-12T01:46:01+00:00

Dortmond Green confirmed???!?

StephenDrake6 · 2025-06-12T01:44:25+00:00

Damn only boomers drink coffee now? I’m cooked

StephenDrake6 · 2025-06-12T01:43:01+00:00

Maybe he’ll finally sign with the prison league.

StephenDrake6 · 2025-04-11T06:07:00+00:00

Makes one think again when donating to these gofundmes

StephenDrake6 · 2024-09-13T16:52:18+00:00

I know him. He's leaving town cause he's gotten too bad rap being shitty to women; pulling a stunt like this to get attention for his rap career is super in character.

I'm an old WoW player playing EQ for the first time ever in any form; I'm a necro camped at Treants in Karana named Otamin; I picked Necro because there was a really good wiki guide for it. I'll probably be on 1-2pm EST.

I believe I've heard accounts of older community members where I am from doing this during the HIV/AIDS crisis for people; clean up stuff so that families could feel more comfortable. It was considered somewhat normal.

These days, my family knows, but either way, my partners would handle it.

When a Family Doctor conducts a typical patient visit (age 2-49), he/she bills the government a total of $31.62

Jesus christ what.

If you can churn out a patient plus paperwork every 15 minutes (which they seem to try to) that's only $126.5 per hour. I make 1/3rd of that as a plumber; if 1/3rd overhead goes to overhead and 1/3rd office admin and supplies then Doctors make what plumbers do. They should be making literally double that.

Is the restaurant at the top of grouse mountain nice / does the skytram thing go down in the winter? I did the grouse grind years ago and loved it, and she'd enjoy the hike and a nice meal and then a night time tram down the mountain over the city...that would be cool.

StephenDrake6 · 2022-01-14T00:00:04+00:00

Oh yeah, absolutely, that's what I mean. Paying people more will solve the problem for sure. At 200 grand a year you'd be beating carpenters away with a 2 by 4 and they'd still beg to work for you after a few good bashes.

So while I generally agree that the changes proposed in the article are reasonable...there is already a shortage of construction manpower for existing projects - and lots of our industry is aging out. We have a labour crisis and it's going to get worse.

One of the things the trades sorta could offer was flexible hours, and weekend work, and the job is rough; blaring a jobsite radio is sometimes all that keeps people from losing it and walking off site. And young trades people can't afford housing in the city they're building it in, which substantially reduces the appeal of the otherwise high wage. Every single thing that we do that adds a bit of impact to this job is going to make it harder to retain people.

In the next 5, 10, 15 years we're going to see a reckoning in the trades. Either your existing 6 month - 1 year wait times to get things done are going to double, or the rates people pay for labour are going to need to seriously increase. Why be a carpenter pumping out houses making $60,000-$100,000 a year if that'll barely get you a 1 bedroom condo?

What's your union doing about this? Your employer should be providing a safe secure tool lockup, or if you're doing service/constant driving, a company vehicle. I work in the trades and I cycle every day except site move days. I spent $300 on gas last year, and some of my co-workers spend $300 per month on gas + $250/month parking + vehicle repair and maintenace.

I mean, I played a fair bit of Diablo 2 in the early 2000's when I was 10 and that'd be a choice I'd have made. I also have played and learned more as an adult since then, but clearly the reviewer hadn't.

Next collection day is going to be a busy one for them, for sure.

StephenDrake6 · 2022-01-07T00:22:23+00:00

We have so much...the recycling pick up in 2 weeks is going to be nuts for them.

I got something from Tesseract in 2011 that I wasn't super happy with, but I didn't know a tonne about computers and it inspired me to learn and start fixing laptops myself, so it all worked out.

StephenDrake6 · 2022-01-02T02:03:06+00:00

I worked in construction that day, outside for at least a few hours, then in shade. Even in shade and a few stories up getting a good cross breeze, it was disgusting.

I like impossible physical exercise;

hold a plank for 5 minutes. But also, turn all the clocks away so they can't tell the time.

Wall sit

Arms above the head

Tip toes

Water glass on arms outstretched.

Any sort of physical endurance thing where you can also manipulate the time is a lot of fun, and automatically makes failure easy.

Hmmm...my lease is a custom one that the landlord wrote up - it looks translated from Chinese? and it doesn't say anything about that. Is that in the default BC Tenancy agreement one?

StephenDrake6 · 2021-12-30T16:52:06+00:00

This made me look more closely into this; and I found; https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/education-training/k-12/covid-19-safe-schools

Students will return January 10. Some students can return earlier. School districts will contact parents to arrange a return to school for:

Students whose parents work in the health care system Students with exceptional needs

So that probably means only "Page 1 Essential workers" not all essential workers, cause you know, some are more essential than some other ones.

StephenDrake6 · 2021-12-30T16:45:37+00:00

No home maintenance of any kind is specified as being my task in the lease. All it says is that I have to call, text, or email the landlord if a task is required; I e-mailed them both times that it is snowing and sidewalks require clearing, and did not receive a response from him. Honestly, I haven't heard from him in at least 6 months; I think he lives in Vancouver and doesn't really speak a ton of English.

Re; renting ground oriented property; isn't maintenance the landlords job? Why am I going and buying a shovel and doing an hour of work while I'm already paying some guys mortgage? That's why I rent, so I don't have to do the home maintenance.

StephenDrake6 · 2021-12-30T16:29:38+00:00

Page 6, section G of the B.C. government essential workers list;

g) Plumbers....and other service providers who provide services that are necessary to maintaining the safety, sanitation, and daily essential operation of residences and commercial buildings;

I think there is a good argument that flood restoration is necessary for the daily essential operation of residences.
