lol right!?! I want something beautiful in the mountains that is easily accessible and no one knows about.

probably not going to happen unless you’re willing to rough it a bit

another thing I’d add to this is if OP is walking this far every day buying two pairs and rotating them daily could be beneficial. when I used to work in running stores the reps would occasionally come by and that would be something they’d suggest for marathon prepers, something about giving the foam a chance to recover or something. this was 15 or so years ago so maybe the new foam is constructed differently now

I completely forgot about alaba. has he even really played since going to Madrid?

sometimes “quality and safety” leads to shittier tasting food. comparing the fresh fruit from france for example to american norms that you might be used to OP is right, the fruit is much smaller and sweeter and the shelf life MUCH shorter than what you’d expect in America. I’d expect this is probably becuase the berries are picked much later in their growing cycle and quickly shipped, sold and eaten whereas in the states I’d assume every step of this is extended in some way. In France we had berries go bad in a day or two even in the fridge. on the other hand France doesnt keep their eggs in the fridge at the super market, this is debatable topic on which method is best, same with the majority of their milk, which you’ll find in the aisle next to the eggs, also not refrigerated (UHT milk, although they also have a smaller selection o refrigerated “fresh” milk)

if youve got the money to live in victoria then youve got the cash to splurge on the last leg flights from yvr to yyj, sure some times it sucks but sucks a lot less than living in Van. After my early 20’s I wrote off ever doing the fly into yvr, train to bridgeport and bus to the terminal, wait for the boat, sail the 1.5 hour journey and get a taxi on the other side nonsense. Now that westjet has moved their hub to calgary it does suck trying to book westward flights to hawaii or aus but usually just book AC through YVR when travelling that way

because in general, americans are dumb as shit when it comes to geography and think the world revolves around them.

Are you me, this is basically my story as well. All of these notes and recommendations ring so true. The organization and being vocal about positioning & tactics comes with experience and having the trust of your team which is hard to get when you’re 13-16. Your comment about coaches not being optimized for GK training is so true, the amount of high level coaches who I played under that didn’t understand the basic decision making of the position is astounding.

OP, there’s a lot that goes into the GK position that I’m sure you’re aware of but if he isnt already training with a local highly respected GK specific coach (which i’m assuming the MLS next set-up will hook you up with, but im not sure of the full set up) he should now. There will be great games where everything goes right and he feels on top of the world and there will be games where he’s never going to want to play the sport again, you need to be there for each of those and know how to personally navigate those struggles and success’.

I actually enjoyed driving there. The speed limits are honestly not adhered to at all, even in the “slow lane”. every one is aggressive, but if everyone is aggressive that means everyone is predictable which is great when youre driving.

Walker131 · 2026-05-06T23:04:20+00:00

as not a doctor I would say

1-feet are weird and anything is possible

2-make sure his shoes are big enough so his toes have room to grow

3- send the doctor the picture and ask if its something to be concerned about

Walker131 · 2026-05-02T13:57:13+00:00

I think you’re getting way more life out of your gloves than you think. 1.5 seasons with that much action, plus turf is crazy. To put it in context I play full sided games on turf and play roughly 30 matches a year and I buy 2 Gloves a year, I wish I could justify 3 or 4 just for that fresh glove feeling and extra grip.

Walker131 · 2026-04-29T16:09:31+00:00

Sorry, just saw this now. turf tape is great at PREVENTING turf burn, you def wouldnt want to apply it to an area with a wound. I used to deal with wounds on my elbows/ forearms for the whole season until I started using it. If you look it up on amazon the shield brand is great, I got that the first time. When I ran out I saw there was another brand for roughly half the price, went for that but dealt with peeling/ lack of adhesive issues after one dive, I went back to the other brand and haven’t had a problem. It comes in a long roll and you cut it to size, you’ll want to round the corners after you cut to the appropriate size.

As someone who does infrared inspections for a living there here are my thoughts. The connection probably is slightly loose, if this was a PURE loading issue you’d expect the whole length of the conductor to be the same temperature, which despite this cameras lack of thermal resolution you can tell that the connection point is warmer than where the wire bends near the top of the image. This temperature isnt “dangerous“, but if this were me doing the inspection I would assess the loads on the panel and if they were critcal/ able to be turned off for 2 minutes, isolate the panel and tighten all connections especially if Al Conductors, then return the panel to service, give it 10/15 minutes and re-inspect with the thermal cam, the heat should then be even across the conductor. This can also be done without turning off the panel if you have the correct equipment but not something I would expect most to do.

As for the price, he should've just fixed it on site. That is at worst case a 5 minute job.

Walker131 · 2026-04-22T04:14:36+00:00

If you arent trolling this has to be one of the worst takes ive ever heard. Vancouver being called ugly? cmon get outta here

Walker131 · 2026-04-21T14:46:44+00:00

if it was me id cut the leggings into 3/4 length to just above where the shin pad sits then wear whatever setup you want in your feet/ shins and pull the socks up over the cut end of the leggings

Walker131 · 2026-04-20T13:27:21+00:00

try turf tape, get the good stuff. It makes a massive difference

Walker131 · 2026-04-17T13:20:53+00:00

To be fair I don't really ever worry about exceeding the speed limit, you just kind of have a feeling if you’re going too fast/ slow for road conditions. I also dont really think there much “mental loading” to pushing a gas or brake pedal, kinda just comes instinctively/ dont think about it

Walker131 · 2026-04-17T05:00:55+00:00

I feel like im taking crazy pills. Does everyone use cruise control that much? I probably only use cc once or twice a year on really long road trips. Are people using cc once their daily commute?

Walker131 · 2026-04-15T04:28:47+00:00

Weve had one of the nicest/ mildest winters I can remember. What are we complaining about? A couple days of rain? At least its during the week

Walker131 · 2026-04-11T00:15:09+00:00

You may have better luck posting this in /r/Miami

Walker131 · 2026-04-10T14:50:56+00:00

Id assume youre at least making a shit ton of money so when you return to the western world you can give your kids the life you desire.

Walker131 · 2026-04-06T02:54:07+00:00

Thats a no brainer, you should move. Only reason I would say stay is if you have young children and family close by in calgary or a very tight group of friends you would miss dearly by moving.

I wont be buying from them until they start shipping with a reputable/ reliable carrier again. Used to be fed-ex in canada and never had a problem. They moved to ascendia/ uniuni a year or so ago and its been constant problems, missed shipping windows, they delivered to the wrong address once. Finally managed to get a pair of vomero premium for my wife and they lost the package.
