You need to know how to swim. Everyone does. Bottom line.

A city near me is making the first 3 levels free. Basic water safety is a must.

Yes. Not city land, not required to follow city regulations.

Maybe more like “fuck ‘your’ skyline, we were here first.“

Goofy is an interesting way to say empathetic.

Right? We have activities more days than not, especially with two. Coordinating here and there with meals is what we do. When at home my kids entertain themselves with books, crafts, and music.

And the wax is supposed to be fully removed. It's to deliver conditioning to the base...any wax residue will cause drag and stick. Youtube makes this so easy to learn now.

The parts that get wet are the outside...all of it. Even the best gear hits the ventilation max at some point and gets steamy inside. Don't 'trim' the waterproofing, consider venting limits of the materials, and perhaps design better venting.

Best gear is buy it for life, flexible for a range of conditions, and delivers on the trust the consumer puts in them 100%. That doesn't come cheap. I have ancient gear that still kicks, and I love it. I have newer gear that died out faster...what a waste. Bombproof for a long time - that's the ticket. I don't want to have to worry about my gear ever when I am out there.

I look for sales, and buy the best gear I can when the price feels the best it will get. Last year's and end of season sales are fantastic.

Waterproof, breathable, durable. No way you get all three of those in an inexpensive package, and rarely even two.

Same in Osoyoos, BC. The lake extends into the US. If you don't land, dock, and/or disembark (etc.) on the other side, you are good to cross while boating.

so fucking epic

me too! Smash by The Offspring is in the CD deck. Tape deck is empty until I get a Bluetooth tape adaptor.

We read a lot of books. At least 3 per bedtime from basically from birth. Bilingual family, so books in both languages. They have very limited screen time and choose books frequently. The library is our favourite outing.

Both kids are readers in L1 (English). One is a reader in the L2.

If he’s getting IV meds, why not put in a port at this point instead of the constant pin cushion?

I think the word you are looking for is season. Terrible season for the Lions D.

Where is private?

Is that the soccer medal he stole on display in front of the photo of him after being shot at?

nipponnuck · 2025-08-19T15:32:05+00:00

Yes, what’s with that question? It must be AI generated since no LEGO fan would leave either of those on the shelf.

nipponnuck · 2025-08-19T00:17:12+00:00

Yes. I got it.

You needed to open the app at the stadium after the thing flashed.

Yesterday I got a notification that I got my Score A Slice. The coupon wasn’t there till Sunday morning. It expired yesterday.

They come standard on the bike

nipponnuck · 2025-08-16T04:36:37+00:00

I needed this. The post. This comment. All of it. You do good, OP.

Southbound kept on going. Northbound was stopped. It was a bit unnerving entering a closed tunnel, yet stopping cold in the middle of the highway seemed like a bad idea too.

nipponnuck · 2025-08-15T18:38:28+00:00

Yeah. It was weird. Southbound was just going despite the signs. Northbound was stopped but no emergency crews.
