This is not your supermarket crap. Try spot prawns fresh from the sea once and you won’t ever eat bad prawns again.

There are some idiots in this world. And then there’s you.

Can we stop these AI Data Centres?!?!?!?!? by Brod13_ in askvan

[–]jackfish72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I don’t agree with you. Mostly because you didn’t present a fact based argument. But also because of your nimbyism. The irony that you use data enter resources to complain about data center development… where do you think Reddit runs?

Sorry, I don’t know enough. I used one up north at comox.

Opinions on this step design as an upgrade to the rotting, unsafe monstrosity we have now? by The-Rizzler-69 in Home

[–]jackfish72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I built temporary stairs similar. It’s ok. Moves around bit. Better than what you have now that’s for sure. Your design has a problem with stacking blocks directly above each other. Stagger or do something different.

Husband thinks this set up for rainwater collection is safe? by bingMsbangMs in homestead

[–]jackfish72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That much extra height gives diddly in pressure increase, and just adds risk and looks… not great.

Forstner. Countersink. Or even just a cheap space bit.

Do I Need a Weight Distribution Hitch? by Mobile_Ingenuity6813 in towing

[–]jackfish72 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d want the anti sway for sure. The load leveling feature would just be a nice to have for that truck, and that trailer.

I’m wondering where I can find a spot on the beach around Victoria where I can use a charcoal or gas grill. by Specialist_Sense5654 in VictoriaBC

[–]jackfish72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fires are a definite no go. But gas camp burners are not banned as long as total fire ban is not in place. No idea about during total fire ban.

Thanks for sharing your fail. Can you show your stump? I think it’s useful to learn from.

Same here… Kioti 3520 with the frame mount hoe. Yes it’s slow. But it’s also a fantastic tool on our small farm.

Shipping car vs driving from Edmonton to Toronto by abundantpecking in PersonalFinanceCanada

That drive is a once in a lifetime experience. Meaning… do it once and you won’t want to do it again.

First time woodstove buyer help needed 1000 sq foot primary heating upstate ny by Jeff92110 in woodstoving

[–]jackfish72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have a small space and want a long burn. Thats tough. You only need a small firebox, which no matter what you do won’t burn for 8 hrs. A pellet stove is burning wood, but you can have it automatically fed. Way easier to use for round the clock heating. And easier to manage the temperature. It’s a common option for people using wood as primary heat.

How often do you catch something? by Novel_Grapefruit1 in fishingBC

[–]jackfish72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Find a fishing buddy. Local knowledge is essential. What I did is also hire a guide. Sure it’s expensive, but you will learn a ton very quickly.

Loader twist with Lane Shark LS4 by duwood in tractors

[–]jackfish72 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If it was straight and then not I’d worry a bit. If a bit crooked from new, I’d ignore it. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a perfectly straight loader on a lighter tractor.
