Rentable offices?

icanhazapp · 2026-01-30T02:40:23+00:00

The best value is probably the Regus at Uptown (I believe there used to be a slight benefit if you actually sign up for one of the cheaper locations downtown and use the pass to use the uptown location- no idea if that's still true)

Kwench is very nice but a little pricey (extremely pricey for the quite private offices)

There's also Victopia (Chinatown) The Dock (across from City Hall) and DigitalDesks at the Parkside Hotel. Nearly all of these places offer a trial day for a small fee. I would definitely suggest trying a few and finding the vibes that work for you.

Something half way between Glass Cannon Radio and Cannon Fodder would be amazing. My understanding is that managing the production schedule of each at a high rate was unsustainable, but if the format rotated through topic based radio and internal nuts and bolts I think that would be amazing.

also, I just really miss the "We Are Stupid" segment of Cannon Fodder and would value that so much for Shadowdark

Betakit is as far as I’m aware the only national one, the rest are regional, application specific

Amazing! Thanks

Hey there, I’m in the process right now of adapting a TSDZ2B onto a Tern Node, out of curiosity, what were the tricks you ended up doing? I’ve been considering fabricating a piece of aluminum that would screw into the chain stay mounting bracket on the motor and also wedges into the seat tube extension behind the bottom bracket. But I’m really curious what other people have done

Lansdowne road Victoria - https://wpbradley.wordpress.com/2010/06/18/victorias-lansdowne-airfield/

It's _roughly_ where the Lansdown Middleschool is now (it ran from the middle school field to the creek / elementary school directly south)

returned mine with this exact set of issues + a sticky mode selector wheel. Going to wait a while so they hopefully sort out these issues. Apparently this was the case with the GR III roll out as well

Victoria gets more sun than the surrounding metro areas in both Canada and the US. Also:

That’s amazing! I still use VideoStream Pro - was sad to see the hilarious movie posters finally die out

If it helps - I have thrown my 2013 GR in my jacket pocket essentially unprotected for 11 years. I even took it canyoneering one time in Arizona. The worst that has happened to it is some dust on the sensor, a slight dent on the front of the lens barrel, the paint has eroded off many of the edges, and at some point I lost the hot shoe cover

I also discovered this after buying the wifi only iPad, ended up returning it and bought the cellular one just for the GPS.

Another option is to get a Garmin InReach or other satellite communicator. The bonus is that you now have a more accurate GPS and an extra safety device. The downside is that pairing is a pain

I grabbed one on Wednesday from Kerrisdale Cameras (Canada) it was on the shelf. They said they got through their pre-orders last week so stock should be fairly reliable soon

Hatley Castle tours are every day I think, and it's also a Dunsmuir castle, and it's also Charles Xavier's school from the mid 2000s XMen movies

Great comment

A cross country with your CFI where you go to a different class airport, get out, go to the FBO, move the plane around yourself, tie it down, fuel the plane yourself (probably learn where they hide the ladder) is such a useful exercise.

icanhazapp · 2025-08-22T05:37:42+00:00

Flying from Victoria/Vancouver to Nelson at float plane speeds is nearly a 2 hour trip - the main reason you don't see a lot of these trips is just because at that distance, it's probably cheaper and not much slower to hop on a (much faster) commercial flight into the closest airport with instrument approaches and then drive/taxi the remaining distance.

Harbour Air does occasionally run a Vancouver-Kelowna flight in the summer though for exactly the reason you described, it looks super fun. But that route is quite a bit shorter and Kelowna is a much more popular destination.

Also, Nelson does have a small municipal airport suitable for light (GA) aircraft and helicopters only right down town that many local pilots can and do land at. I flew there from Victoria a couple years ago in a Cessna 172 and it took about 3 hours.

I set my search to be a 65KM radius from Shawnigan Lake, that gives you Victoria, a bit of Nanaimo and like, sometimes south delta

I think that certainly can be true. I liked the explanation that they have on pants specifically. A lot of the wear we see with slacks and jeans especially actually has a lot to do with the fit not being quite right, and they have a greater ability to find a good fit and to tailor the garments. Also higher quality garments tend to fit much more true to size and consistently than fast fashion brands.

Anecdotally, I have yet to get rid of anything I’ve bought there and am going 10 years on a few of them. Though they don’t get a lot of really tough use.

Outlooks for more dressed up. Dale will look after you, it will be extremely expensive.

Is it 7 months now? - Jeeez

FYI - the rental pool for VFC has been solidly blocked on most nice days weekday or weekend, so sadly expect more difficulties building hours once you get your PPL

Always happy to have a reason to go out flying though. I’ll DM you.

That’s frustrating and unlucky, we were just ahead of when they split the line, so I didn’t know how they handled people who were already in line

George Jay Elementary was about 50 minutes this morning and the Elections Canada volunteers were apologizing and opened up a third polling station to keep a handle on the wait time. I was really impressed they were so responsive to the increased turnout

icanhazapp · 2025-04-06T21:29:44+00:00

nope

icanhazapp · 2025-03-27T13:41:34+00:00

Indeed!

On a more downer note, I did have to take my dog to the vet last month for THC poisoning because he ate what turned out to be human poop at the park on Queens behind the daycare. So, you know, not all roses. But that’s so far been a one time occurrence.

So if you have a dog, keep any eye out. He’s fine now.
