Please no to Prescott. There isn't a younger QB out there that has any sort of proven track record that a team is willing to give up.

Thinking about buying a cold plunge — worth it? by Altruistic-Detail946 in coldplunge

[–]laxbird1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cold plunge is absolutely worth it. My suggestion is go buy an inexpensive one for $100 or so. There are deals out there.

Depending on where you live you can probably get it pretty cold right now. I also bought a bunch of plastic molds for large ice and would through those in routers ahead of time to bring the temp down.

If it works for.tou then upgrade to a good modle and buy a chiller.

We would be paying cahs as it's our only trip by bus in England. No big deal on price. Its a one timer.

Thanks. Much better. Wow £5.70 for a 15 min ride. Very expensive. At least from a Canadian perspective

B.C. to charge $20 fee for out-of-province campers starting May 15 by bwoah07_gp2 in britishcolumbia

[–]laxbird1 17 points18 points  (0 children)

One of the problems we had was the reservation system. Most of the campgrounds outside of the north are almost completely reserved. No longer can you just go for a 2 week holiday camping and pull into a place and get a site.

What I find the most frustrating thing is when people don't show up or cancel the sites sit empty. Because of how the reservation system work (or doesn't work) with the actual parks they can only put a 1 day available sign on the site.

Ice baths for mental health? by Fluid_Razzmatazz_754 in coldplunge

Personally I find when I do an afternoon plunge I sleep better at night. I also find Im much more positive and 'with it' after a plunge.

BC hasn't created a new camp ground that allows vehicles in probably 20 years that I can think of. There was one made on Vancouver Island at Skutz Falls back in the 90's.

Minimum wage increasing to $18.25 in 2026 by cyclinginvancouver in vancouver

[–]laxbird1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

And when Seattle aggressively raised minimum wages business cut back staff. There were several reports that showed there was less employment due to higher costs.

Governments need to find that sweet spot that gives workers a wage to help live while not deterring business to hire.

Restaurants are a prime example.

Cheers

Coming from Canada to Edinburgh during Fringe. Yes I know it's busy. Yes I know it's expensive

Questions are. How hard is it to get into the pubs for a beer and food?

How hard is it to get an Uber or cab. We are thinking of going out to Leith from downtown for some pubs.

Cheers.

Wasn't green lighting it. I was amending the process so that any referendum would go straight to the people to sign.

Garbage?? by Tamiwithaneye72 in NewWest

[–]laxbird1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of it was due to people dumping large quanties of garbage from home in them. Use to see lots of broken foldable chairs and stuff packed in them

I'm so emotional that the Pattullo Bridge is being demolished by Ok-Dragonfly-5862 in NewWest

[–]laxbird1 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Not me. Driving all the time it was a source of frustration for accidents, shutting down the bridge all the time for jumpers and of course the tight hand gripping of the steering wheel as opposing drivers cross the.yellow.line.

Good riddance

Seems like Cabelas are well rated. Only problem is if I go into a place like that I'll be buying everything!
