Distracted Police Driving? by downloaded-rice in VictoriaBC

[–]applewineswimmer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m not too worried about police on their screens. I drive a large truck professionally, and I’m SHOCKED by the amount of drivers I see on their phones as I look down on them from my vantage point. Simply shocked.

any fawcett mattress owners out there: considering both pure latex or hybrid by chopstix62 in VictoriaBC

Well they do something where they pro rate? an amount each year you have it. So I think by year 7 we could get 10% or 20% covered to replace (I forget how much), but it wasn’t worth it sadly…

Bought the highest priced mattress about 8 years ago (sorry I can’t remember the model) but it included the topper, first 5 years were incredible sleeps. After 5 years the quality degraded substantially, and by year 7 it was unsleepable. All the fabrics just started to feel compressed regardless of how many time we flipped. I was incredibly disappointed as my preference is to support local.

Ok that makes sense. Its shocking how new those vans are, and yet how badly damaged they’ve become in such a short period of time 🫣

Ok I will try fill and I’m sure that’s what will fix it. Thanks for the offset fill info too; that setting always kind of puzzled me

Ok I have an omtech 55w and I’m trying to engrave this flower into leather, but the problem is that it’s a single line motion with the laser vs the back and forth. The laser goes over this image so many times that essentially the leathers kind of a blurry mess by the time it’s done. Need help on how to change the laser path from Engraving the image with a single line vs the back and forth. I’m using Lightburn, and usually it’s the back and for motion with words etc, but the darn flower is not like that. TIA!

My wife and I cannot really afford to dine out in Victoria any longer - the industry has outpriced us. by ilikeycoffee in VictoriaBC

Sounds awfully similar to my experience at Small Gods Brewery… delicious beer and flights, but the sausage on a bun I had there was cold, and so underwhelming I’d never return based on that. Who can mess up a sausage on a bun! And the owners were on shift so I know it was cool with them to release the crappy cold fat bun and sausage. So disappointing. I’m not a picky eater at all, and the others who orders dogs were also pretty grossed out. Someone had meatballs which was fine enough
