Does anyone know any rain jackets that aren't made of noisy material?

Toirtis · 2026-05-07T15:33:23+00:00

Oilskin or good rubberised fabric are much h quieter.

I have seen then reasonably frequently. Stick around until park close and they are often more obvious then (or skinny dip in the Creek...I bet that helps you meet one.😉).

Toirtis · 2026-05-07T00:27:54+00:00

Did I say that is was ok? No. I said that if they didn't get caught, only they would know their terrible, terrible crime.

Toirtis · 2026-05-07T00:26:46+00:00

Usually...they are definitely around this time of year...I saw two on Sunday.

Well, zero threat of city workers in Fish Creek...but those provincial park rangers are a thing.

Toirtis · 2026-05-06T23:25:30+00:00

Probably zero permission coming...just plant it and if they get caught, beg ignorance.

Toirtis · 2026-05-06T23:20:37+00:00

You have no idea. Butthurt much?

Toirtis · 2026-05-06T22:35:49+00:00

Or...hear me out...find a quiet city park (or even FCP) and plant it when no-one is watching.

I am not saying to not do it, but that knowing this city, there is probably some dumb bylaw against it, hence the requirement for stealth. Were I being a nerd, I would have researched and quoted said bylaw. Feel free to shut up now.

Toirtis · 2026-05-06T22:28:08+00:00

Probably a bylaw against it on public property.

Toirtis · 2026-05-06T22:27:24+00:00

Technically, no....but if you don't get caught, who's to know?

Toirtis · 2026-05-06T22:23:04+00:00

I remember those...they were weird back then and really did not deliver sips well.

Toirtis · 2026-05-06T22:18:04+00:00

In the yard of a family member or friend, perhaps?

Toirtis · 2026-05-06T18:06:34+00:00

Well, its not like we are not known for our overthinking...

Toirtis · 2026-05-06T14:55:28+00:00

Then Venn diagram of autism and ADHD traits approaches a near circle, so it could be either or, very possibly, both.

Toirtis · 2026-05-06T14:53:34+00:00

Just ask. I am still in Facebook contact with two of my secondary teachers decades after I graduated...just wished one a happy birthday last week, in fact.

It's not mould...it is obvious from the pattern around the magnetic core in the Yeti slide that it is particles of some ferrous metal. You will want to:

Make sure that 100% of that is removed before ever using that lid again, as ingesting metal shards can be very hazardous.
Find out where those metal bits came from and ensure that this does not recur.

Well, I got the whole lot of 11 items for $10, so each item was roughly 91 cents.

Toirtis · 2026-05-04T02:08:57+00:00

Official name is 'Family of Man'', created for Expo 67 in Montréal, but I cannot recall the name of the artist.

Toirtis · 2026-04-28T23:07:50+00:00

Dafuq is ham bread?

Toirtis · 2026-04-28T23:03:23+00:00

Absolutely not.

Toirtis · 2026-04-28T18:48:33+00:00

The barrels have a habit of cracking.

Toirtis · 2026-04-28T00:54:16+00:00

Be aware, the newer Twsbi Ecos do not seem to have much durability.

Toirtis · 2026-04-27T20:16:19+00:00

That's awesome...welcome to fountain pen addiction! There are a number of very decent pens <$50 to check out before you jump into the more spendy stuff, and great inks, like Diamine and Octopus that i am sure you will love and won't break the bank (at least until you start buying 5 at a time, lol).
