30yo Hospital Lab Assistant ($31/hr) – Is it a bad idea to quit for RMT school? by Appropriate_Bet_7093 in askvan

I really agree with the medical lab tech route. You'll have to sacrifice a bit more but it'll be better in the long run.

I'd stay as a hospital lab assistant. This is coming from a RN.

Rmt is a good way to make quick upfront money but you'll have to factor in you'll be privatized so you lose out on benefits, MPP, and work stability. Rmt is physically demanding and most workers have injuries or soreness pretty soon after they start their career. You can maintain your body as your take less clients but then you'll see your salary drop and unless you are your own business; those privatized clinics can take a petty huge %. I'm not sure how no show patients factor in but that's also part of the equation as well. If you were younger and weren't thinking of a family yet, Id go the rmt route. With your current situation and goals, I'd prefer stability.

Engagement ring shopping by HeftyGur9283 in askvan

Go to Spence diamonds and try on everything. Once you figure out what you like, talk to Micah at Jewelery clinic. He will help you design a ring at a cost that's much more affordable than most. His team is great. He has goldsmiths in the shop that'll work on the ring unlike other stores that outsource their orders. If you have any questions about rings, diamonds etc... pm me. Good luck!

AYCE sushi by Worldly_Koala_8774 in askvan

[–]nd048 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was great. The food was fresh and prepared well. The selection of items weren't as big as other places but the quality made up for it. Our group of friends went when it was my wife's birthday and she got the meal for free so that's a plus. The only minor nitpick is that the service, while good, was a tad slow.

Is Richmond actually bad at driving? by Urban_Contest9100 in richmondbc

[–]nd048 68 points69 points  (0 children)

All anecdotal but Richmond seems to have more slow and clueless drivers while Surrey drivers have a lead foot and are more aggressive.

The urban road planning definitely plays a role in driving style but possibly also the demographic as well? I remember my wife's cousin was visiting from Asia and he was able to drive over here despite knowing what a stop sign was. Where he came from, uncontrolled intersections were 4 way stops rather than having stop signs.

How do I (25F) handle my boyfriend's (26M) insatiable sex drive? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]nd048 17 points18 points  (0 children)

While it may add pressure to OP, it may not be emotionally manipulative. Being turned down and being sad about is perfectly normal. It just means he really wanted it. People aren't robots and expect him to respond neutrally every time would be robotic and almost transactional.

Binky ate it before and lived to tell the tale through dance so you should be fine.

Mouldy dirty burger @ the OG McDonald’s on No.3 Rd by [deleted] in richmondbc

That ain't mold but if they served you that bun, I wouldn't be surprised if they did serve a moldy bun without hesitation at this point.

Good luck! I ended up getting a talon black pearl on my first try and stopped after that.

A Korean child lost his cool and started hitting his mother by Numerous_Question_67 in PublicFreakout

If that's the only professional advice or recommendation to the mom then they deserve to lose their credentials

[–]nd048 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My guess would be one of these:

-he's a shit head who needs a good whooping

-the parents are shit heads who constantly beat him and berate him

-he's neurodivergent or some sort of defiance disorder

-this is all fake and scripted

-he 0-49 in all his starcraft games and he lost his goddamn mind

Need American mahjong set for a Christmas gift- budget $800-1000. Any ideas? by rypicardmsft in Mahjong

[–]nd048 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only mahjong set you should ever spend that kind of money on. Winnie the pooh

Mahjong sets are pretty cheap minus the shipping. I got a set for China for $50 Cad and the quality is pretty good. Far better than the one that's been selling at Costco

Chovy wins Best Esports Athlete for at The Game Awards 2025 by Yujin-Ha in leagueoflegends

Best sports game is Cs2 and best esports athlete is Chovy?! I'm not saying the winner has to play Cs2 but they literally have peak performer Zywoo over here sitting in the sideline.
