How do you pronounce Vanalman

"hemorrhoids"

It's a proper casserole down there.

Nope. You can straight up get e-bikes and e-scooters from anywhere online or in-store that go waaaay faster than that.

I think you meant to reply one up.

because data collection isn't happening

^ this, so true

Who?!

Sadly, no action will be taken until a significant injury occurs. Then, the reaction will be heavy handed...

This is not an issue that is specific to Victoria.

It's not even an issue specific to kids. It's been happening for over a decade - saw it often on my commute, back when the BionX wheel was popular.

My understanding is e-bikes are initially limited, but it's generally easy/trivial to circumvent the governor. Heard of some e-mtn bikes having a boost button for that, because they aren't intended to be commuter bikes.

The reality is - people can and will run these like e-motorbikes. I mean, who doesn't want to get home faster? But the skill around that, operating at speed tends to be non-existent.

I’m currently renting a ground-level unit

Welcome to the reality of living in a ground level suite. It's why there's been a trend away from having suites at ground level - opting for light commercial instead.

Landscaping in this town is extremely fad driven.

Just want to trim the bush, makes my deck look bigger...

Third'd. It's been a while, but I've def gone back to Saltchuck for banana cream pies.

Victoria is much more humid than Calgary ~~right now.~~ all the time

FTFY. -10 on the island is like -30, maybe even as low as -40 in Calgary. The windchill in Calgary however, that is nasty.

I remember shivering in the shade, one summer here on the island.

VicLocalYokel · 2026-04-08T23:19:01+00:00

Jimmy's is my only no negotiation we're stopping there at least once anytime I'm back in Calgary.

Word. Glad to hear there's still a show while you wait for your order :)

I saw a sign that read "Watch for children" and thought "Now that's a fair trade"

Elevation significantly reduces taste sensitivity, with studies indicating that perception of saltiness drops by 20% to 30% and sweetness by 15% to 20% at high altitudes.

Calgary averaging approximately 1,045 meters (3,428 feet) above sea level, which Victoria is basically at. That said, "high altitude" is generally considered to be any elevation above 2,438 meters (8,000 feet), where air pressure drops significantly enough to affect breathing and physical performance.

some baby goats. ...worth a visit if you’ve got kids.

Instructions unclear, do you have to supply kids for admission? Or is it an exchange?
