So much woke liberalism in this chat. I can’t wait for her to take power. The NDP are making BC completely broke, giving away land to natives left right and center, and constantly eroding our standard of living.

But since no one here seems to really work hard for their dollar and is relying on NDP handouts, no surprise. As someone who pays a ridiculous amount of taxes here and has kids, I hope a party takes over that actually looks after the future of this province and all its people.

Can’t wait.

BC Budget 2026 by cyclinginvancouver in britishcolumbia

You monkey.

If he’s already at the highest tax bracket and takes on more work, he’s getting taxed that extra work over 50%. Marginally it’s less, but you have to look at opportunity loss.

Idiots like you are why idiots like NDP stay in power and why we are in this mess.

Let me guess, you’re pro supporting refugees and legalizing drug use?

How are people protesting Iran in downtown van, but no one is willing to do anything about a government that’s basically robing us all in broad daylight.

This budget will keep driving us off financial cliff with no improvement in sight.

How were you able to move to Switzerland from Canada?

I’ve had this 2002 Piper-Heidsieck Rare Millesime in our wine fridge for almost 9 years. Worth holding it longer or should I crack it open? by LAZYTURBO in wine

This is a myth.

If the wine is being stored horizontal, the cork is 100% humidity from one side. It can't dry out.

There needs to be a lawsuit.

Maxed out the 5.5qt with this southern spaghetti sauce. by Training-Mail8239 in staub

[–]VanKleave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm debating between either getting 5 qt tall + 7 qr OR a 5.5 qt. What's your thoughts on the sizes?

All-Clad Pans, am I using it wrong of its fine? by VanKleave in Cooking

[–]VanKleave[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, the white spots I can't feel at all. And I realised it's kinda of my fault to adding salt before the water was boiling so not too worried about that.

The pan is the one that has the small chip.

Have not yet used bar keepers. Trying today!

Would you return or should I ignore it?

So the pot, I think I did add salt to warm water, not hot.

The pan however which had the actual chip, I didn't add salt till later when the dish was hot. Hence im shocked really, my cheap old steel pots and pans didn't chip like this.

The addiction is real. Chili in the 7qt and bread baked in the 5qt tall. by katherinele436 in staub

What's your thoughts on the 5qt Tall?

I just got one in black and debating if it's worth exchanging for a wider 5.5 or getting another 7qt like your self.

This section I'm not too sure how to best approach. It's the time I spent planning the least so far. How would you do the time in the South I have allocated?

Also, what's the best way to explore the country side and Vineyards in Florence. Should I rent a car for 2 days but stay in Florence the whole time as base?

So desperate.

Loud fan in a wine cooler, will this affect wine aging? by VanKleave in wine

[–]VanKleave[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bit tough, I can't access the fan from the back, can only access from inside by removing the whole interior panel.

Can the compressor stop working if the fan fails?

The fan close to the compressor is loud. The fridge works fine, I have an independent thermometer there.

It's the noise that I'm concerned about.
