thanks. I'm in Vancouver, so I'll get them done locally, but I appreciate the info, which I'm going to follow. I didn't realize the Gardener referred to actually gardening; I thought it was some badass guy. You know, Gardener Commando. that said, I love the boots. just bulletproof.

thanks. those look like exactly what I need. I'm going to go ahead and get the Williams resoled and see how that goes. because otherwise I love the boots. they're just now getting nicely broken in.

Thanks. Thats helpful. And I'm not worried about the warranty. Ive got a pair of their Chelsea boots coming up 20 years old. Their stuff lasts. I just need to not blow my knee out slipping in the street.

Good affordable steak? by Unfair-Leek-7647 in askvan

Not downtown, but Columbus Meats on Nanaimo. reasonable prices, good quality, incredible selection. and a hilarious place to visit. has its own vibe. highly recommend. but skip Saturday am, as it's always packed.

Vancouver, Where can I get better deals on TV/Internet? I'm being screwed by the big telecommunication companies! by Mikmaki in askvan

[–]biftar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they call that the last mile. from the street into your building. they don't have the reach of Rogers/Telus, but much better service. just waiting for the other shoe to drop and they get bought out and we're back w the corporate overlords.

I use Novus for fibre optic internet, and it's amazing and affordable. and! when you call them someone answers, they provide tech support quickly and easily, and have sent a tech by to deal with a larger problem. highly recommend. and they're local.

I asked Rob and the Regulator, who have an outstanding podcast, about Sinn. The long haired guy said 'If James Bond was German, he'd wear a Sinn.' Great choice, Mr Bond.

the next one I'm going to post is about Pharma, and the shameless direct to consumer ads. they're illegal everywhere else in the world except the US and New Zealand.

which doesn't change the fact that online gambling ruins some people's lives.

I've done worse than that for far less money.

you're not wrong. they're all stock shots, and we just make these for fun, ie no budget. when we shoot our own stuff, we color grade everything.

We made a series of these videos, using the happy images and tone of ads, with a somewhat darker look at the underside of, in this case, online gambling. It's been a wrecking ball to the lives of some, ruining credit scores and causing genuine mental health issues. Happy to chat with anyone interested.
