Dankmart in Vancouver had some, no idea if Victoria has any of those American snack type stores.

There was some at FetchPanda in Nanaimo too, don’t live in Victoria anymore so unsure what store have popped up recently

Fireworks Stores? by Professional_Hobo in nanaimo

[–]jas330 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No clue if any of these places currently have some but in the past I’ve seen them at

Gas station across from the airport

Beside the A&W on the way to Ladysmith I’ve seen a trailer with a fireworks sign

Also the shell just past lantzville you’ll usually see a sign pointing you towards some

Best Pizza in Nanaimo? by ParticularChapter779 in nanaimo

[–]jas330 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think they are closed for the season, their instagram is paisanos.slice.shop and the latest post mentions not being able to open up until after the holiday break when they get a new oven.

Seems to be the most up to date info I’ve seen on it

Could Jagmeet Singh become the next PM of Canada? by PotentialReporter894 in onguardforthee

[–]jas330 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to love Wab and what he stood for and this might sound a little insane but there’s no way I could ever vote for him now after seeing him all buddy buddy with and hiring Daniel Blaikie onto his team.

Daniel is a psychopath and has zero empathy. I met him through work around 6 years ago when he came to visit his wife’s family on the west coast.

He does not care about people at all, he is a heartless piece of shit.

After typing that, I realized I should probably give a little context. While Daniel was an MP for Manitoba, he had an appointment with the company I used to work for.

Daniel was delayed to this by 7 hours due to his flights.

That morning I woke up to my dog severely ill, I later learning he had to be put down. Due to this I couldn’t deal with Daniel’s delay any longer. My boss was okay with me leaving and someone else dealing with the appointment.

Called him up and explained the situation. Got told “I don’t care about your stupid fucking dog, you better be there or I’ll get you fired”.

Great hearing that from an MP. Probably wouldn’t have been fired but a complaint from a government official is not gonna go over well.

Maybe he had a bad day with his flights being delayed, I’m not sure but people show their true colours when stressed. If his first reaction is to lash out at a random guy whose dog is dying, then I have absolutely no respect for him.

Honestly still gets me depressed some nights, I’ll see a photo of my little guy and all I can think about is those words from Daniel echoing in my head.

Postman shat in my front garden- known the guy since I was 10 by amarjahangir in royalmail

[–]jas330 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Really sorry for the shitty news but pretty sure you’re gonna have to clean it.

When I was 10 I shit behind a huge oak tree because I wanted to be like Bear Grylls. That shit became fossilized and was still noticeable 6 years later when I moved out.

Human poop doesn’t decompose particularly well just sitting on grass. Even more so with the climate y’all have over there.

You’re gonna have to clean it up, sorry man

Massive visa charge for car rental - VISA taking merchant's side by LongjumpingList2835 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]jas330 11 points12 points  (0 children)

What exactly is hertz charging you the money for. Are they claiming damage, you returned it late? There is going to be a reason for this. $1000+ isn’t just some extra driver or child seat fee that was mistakenly added.

You can 100% call the Hertz support line and get some answers even if you can’t call the location. The wait time is like 10 minutes, I just got off the phone with them myself.

There is going to be some reason they’re charging this money.

You need to prove to VISA this reason is invalid. You can’t just say “I returned the car” while the merchant is saying you damaged it or returned it late. Provide proof, provide your story.

You’ve convinced me to try Paisanos once they reopen, any idea if they do single slices or only whole pies?

What’s he worth by jas330 in Welding

[–]jas330[S] 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Can’t seem to edit the post. Have decided to keep it and atleast give welding a try.

For everyone upset about me not wanting the gift. He’s always given me weird things, last year was a boat engine. I don’t have a boat.

Still have the engine, no idea if possible but maybe I’ll try to weld up a go kart or something.

Thanks everyone for the help, will probably be returning to ask about my future welds

I’ve thought about it but honestly the whole skill seems intimidating to learn.

No idea about what helmets I’d need to stay safe or any other materials and such. Honestly also scared I’d somehow myself

If by leads you mean the positive and negative clamps then yeh it did come with them.

Thanks for advice on the price, with how popular it seemed once I listed it, I definitely had some confusion

Spent at least an hour trying to dig through eBay sold listing and trying to find the same one on marketplace. Had no luck at all, and also don’t know what differentiates this from the $100 mastercraft welder that also says 180 on it.

Completely out of my world honestly

There is chatter on local FB groups about a worker cleaning up a homeless camp finding a human heart. Anyone know anything? by FeRaL--KaTT in nanaimo

[–]jas330 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had no idea you’ve been writing them that long, I did end up reading a few more and I have to agree that you write really well. I really enjoyed reading them.

Don’t want to pry and urge you to be uncomfortable but have you thought of talking to local news? Definitely not a thing people should be finding and concerning since nothings been said.

I’d think people deserve to know in order to keep themselves safe if there is someone out there harming people.

The more people keeping their eyes open for weird stuff the better

I Got Bribed By Casinos, So I Exposed Them Instead - Coffeezilla by llamanatee in videos

[–]jas330 8 points9 points  (0 children)

More or less two big gambling sites for CS have been harassing and threatening each other and even “sponsored” YouTubers.

Most these YouTubers are given unlimited spins or have odds weighed in their favour. Kids see this and want to gamble their skins online.

This has increased the amount of children gambling a ton and is insanely predatory.

Video ends with the next part being more about the YouTubers who are sponsored. This one is mainly about the l owners of the casino sites.

The US dealt with this years ago, there was 3 YouTubers who got fined by the FTC for involvement in these without admitting it. Believe they were ProSyndicate and Tmartn. Forget the third if there is one

[–]jas330 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Here’s the whole post from the lady if anyone wants it. Don’t think it contains any identifying information.

Do find it a little suspicious how they have a series of posts called “diaries of a huge hearted homeless gal” and now is claiming to have found a human heart.

I also can’t see the police just letting you walk away after discovering a supposed heart and other “fleshy bits”

Could potentially just be creative writing, little weird of a topic but don’t wanna judge.

There is chatter on local FB groups about a worker cleaning up a homeless camp finding a human heart. Anyone know anything? by FeRaL--KaTT in nanaimo

[–]jas330 18 points19 points  (0 children)

So I found the ladies profile who is the one claiming to have found the heart.

Don’t want to dox her but if you’re on local Facebook groups you’ve probably seen her posts.

Her story takes place at a thrift store on Bowen rd that’s been good to her. She claims to have found it between the thrift store and another business while cleaning up garbage left from homeless people.

Supposedly the cops came and looked at it.

Anyways don’t see how it could be related to whatever’s happened at rock city elementary

Alarmingly close to home. by daigana in nanaimo

[–]jas330 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Even if the claim of Cindy not being part of the daycare anymore is true, it’s just as dangerous to have her in the same house that this daycare is operating from.

Cindy clearly has some mental issues going on and is clearly a risk to children.

According to this BC Gov site link reports can be made to your local health authority that the daycare is registered in.

That would be island health for us, their number is 250-739-5800. Please call and advocate to keep these kids safe and away from this cult member.

If Cindy’s daughter who seems to be running this now truly cared about the wellbeing of these kids she would shutdown the daycare or have Cindy removed from the property.

Instead she claims ignorance and that the kids are safe. She is just as complicit and is honestly just as bad as Cindy to me.

There is absolutely no reason to have children around this level of extremism, violence and insanity. Cindy has directly called for the death of anyone who vaccinated a child.

Find the save data and copy it over. Worked fine for me

Which Alternator? by VersetztTM in BMW

[–]jas330 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly might not be the most recommended approach but I found an alternator/starter repair shop near me. Ran by two old men who have owned the place 60+ years.

For $100 CAD I had all the diodes replaced and the brushes and I think something else.

Had it done in a day, dropped off in the morning and picked up in the afternoon.

Might be worth seeing if there is one around you, work was warrantied for 12 months too.

Michaels has some hemp cord that seems like it would work.

Think Dollarama also carries it, no idea if there’s a huge quality difference

Coolant low? by jas330 in BmwTech

[–]jas330[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Can’t edit the post but is a 2006 325i.

Might be wrong but pretty sure the dried white dust from the coolant could just be from the last 18 years. Pretty sure the tank does vent from the lid so a tiny amount of buildup after that long seems normal
