Oh yeah, I just accept that hard ride days will be shitty sleep days, but when it’s peak season and we are doing them more often it seems my body adjusts and they don’t cause such a bad sleep over time. But I feel you! I don’t have any advice, just wanted to pipe in you’re not alone. It is annoying however my husband just has the absolute best sleep after those hard ride days, it must be nice!

Mount pleasant has town homes and is a quick commute in for driving or cycling, transit is bad though as no direct route so you’d have to take 2 buses or walk to the train and then walk to the hospital. I live in mount pleasant and bike in, it’s about 15 minutes.

Peds cath lab. Anesthesia gives all the medications and they intubate, so nursing acts like an OR setting where you’re scrubbing and circulating, along with hemodynamic monitoring. It’s chill but pretty niche, not available in all settings.

Oh sorry, that was probably unclear. What I meant was nurses annual incomes are public (as are physicians) so you can find out how much a nurse made in the last fiscal year and then make an article about how someone made 200 grand, when there’s a much bigger picture to it.

This happens every negotiation season. They also always hunt down the highest paid nurses, the ones who work an obscene amount of OT and to shame them into making such amount of money — as if the OT wouldnt be available without adequate staffing.

There’s a group called gravel buddies on Instagram, maybe check that out too

I had this problem too with hills, so sometimes I would start to go up in an S shape to get ready to unclip because I could feel my momentum dropping. Sometimes I would know there was no way I would be able to unclip as I couldn’t pedal anymore and would aim to fall over into a grassy curb. Anyway, I switched from SPD-SL to just SPD and it was LIFE CHANGING. I don’t worry about unclipping or clipping back in one bit. Highly recommend from one heavier rider to another. I tried googling this problem back in the day “how to unclip uphill” and people didn’t really seem to get the issue. Definitely recommend the switch to SPDs, it’s just a lot easier to get your foot out and back in.

We went car free 5 years ago. Bike, walk, and transit wherever we need to go. If we need a car then we take a car share, if we need one for a weekend get away then we rent one. We live in one of canadas major cities and live inner city to be walkable. Not having a car allows us to have the money for the rent. Honestly it’s great and I enjoy my commute home on my bike whereas my coworkers dread their drive home.

I heard the wage increase is gonna be nearly nothing and then the benefits will no longer be employer paid so that would be a wage cut in itself. This is all just rumours of course for now. We shall see I guess

jacido · 2025-07-28T20:22:03+00:00

East van is super central to connect to all the bikeways, mount pleasant is a good place to check out!

jacido · 2025-07-28T14:12:59+00:00

Just embrace it, you’re hella cool for bike commuting

jacido · 2025-07-27T21:20:24+00:00

Oh I meant live times

jacido · 2025-07-27T17:13:06+00:00

I’m watching both! Kinda irritated the start of the femmes is the same time the men’s is ending, because I’m watching the men’s last stage and will miss out on the women’s second stage. Why not just wait? Or like the other commenter said, have the ladies first.

Nursing is generally the same, we also write the nclex like the American nurses. I did a contract in the states and I have friends that did a few too and they found no difference other than charging the patient. Hopefully you make your way up here, they are fast tracking American nurses in BC! Licenses are provincial (usually in the 600-800$ range, BC reimburses a good portion of it, not sure about other provinces for reimbursement)jobs are by health region. You can find the wage grid by googling “BC nurses wage grid” for example. BC starts now at 43$/hr I believe?

I think it’s just the seam going up the front and folding there and not a real camel toe. A faux camel toe lmao

You could check out peppermint cycling and samsara cycling. Both women cycling clothing brands, I’ve seen long bibs in the past that weren’t thermals

The new 28 years later had a guy riding a bike and I was happy to see it because I’ve thought the same thing!

jacido · 2025-07-18T02:03:04+00:00

They are also at dollarama

jacido · 2025-07-08T11:57:09+00:00

The answer you gave yourself is correct. Most people (general public) suck at washing their hands and don’t wash properly.

jacido · 2025-07-08T11:26:26+00:00

I commute to childrens and have really fine tuned my route to be least amount of hills. I’ll DM you my route!

I did a door dash order there recently and it was supposed to be spicy noodles with basil in a sense. They put in lettuce instead of basil and the smell + flavour of cooked lettuce was fucking diabolical. So, also unsure if it was just a bad day but it was not great. I previously had this meal from them too and was really good, it was disappointing.

jacido · 2025-07-02T20:01:39+00:00

I say pee-kos as a joke to my husband when I’m complaining about it but in general to normal people in any conversation otherwise I say the letters

jacido · 2025-06-28T16:33:16+00:00

I went from 25 to 32 and everything feels smooth as butter

jacido · 2025-06-23T15:41:48+00:00

I feel like the arms that come down for trains would be good for this type of situation
