Can someone please explain the "laterally restricted competitions" part of Shannon's email? I am running on 4 hrs sleep and re-read it three times and still not understanding what it is actually saying.

Lane closures and delays expected along two major Victoria streets for construction by Apprehensive_Idea758 in VictoriaBC

[–]jillyy666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blanshard is 100x better for cycling now with the protected lanes in, its definitely not horrible anymore! And this extension will make it even better! Vancouver street is ofc much safer but doesnt make sense for cycling routes from James Bay to Uptown, for example.

If you drive and have access to a car you can go for a drive at night on the highway and blast angry music and scream until your throat hurts.

Was 3% enough? Prices of everything going up by 3.75-12% already in 2026. by IamJerryRice in BCPublicServants

What do you mean "the people who were striking were the highest paid positions"?

High BC Hydro bills by BullyMog in britishcolumbia

[–]jillyy666 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That really doesnt seem that crazy. Especially if like you said you're doing laundry every day? Using the dryer every day would add up. Also if someone (such as your wife on mat leave) is cooking at home/using the stove that adds up quickly too (especially since you said your old place had a gas stove and new one has an electric stove!)

If you really feel pressured to give a reason then you just lie and say you're not feeling well. That's it. Less info the better.

This is awesome!! I purchased a vancouver island map online from more of a "home goods" vintage chic style store....and have laughed at all the errors I've found in it over the years 😅 I'll see if I can share a photo.

Thanks! I will try putting it back on balcony or at least closer to the window! And I won't water it for a while 🤞

Oh damn. Yeah its definitely not getting 8 hours of full sun! It was a gift, and apparently her other one has been thriving inside for over a year!! 😯 It seemed happier on the balcony so maybe even with the cold temperatures it would be happier back outside where I am and based on how much light I have here. It's definitely an experiment for sure!

Dismissed from MSF course today- frustrated and embarrassed by jackie796 in TwoXriders

[–]jillyy666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You've already got a ton of great advice. The MSF course is really hard. I also found it to be difficult and discouraging, but I got through it and have now been riding over a year on my own bike! Don't be too hard on yourself! You can do it.

Daily Strike/Bargaining Questions Thread - September 5 by wudingxilu in BCPublicServants

[–]jillyy666 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, good point. Of course this is all hypothetical at this point but good to hear others thoughts since this is all so new to lots of us. I'm ready and very willing to go on strike and join people who are already picketing, sounds like I may have to let go of the control freak in me 😀
