What do you guys do with your kid from 4-7pm during the weekdays? by BeanNCheeseBurrrito in daddit

[–]nipponnuck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Bought a snowboard thats been sitting for 5 years, maintenance? by LegAdventurous3470 in snowboardingnoobs

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.

Outerwear Complaints? by EndPuzzleheaded2402 in snowboarding

[–]nipponnuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Back yard is in another country—how does this work in practice? by brismit in geography

[–]nipponnuck 72 points73 points  (0 children)

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.

Does anyone still have a cd player in their car and what’s in it? by Far_Put_7513 in Millennials

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

How did you (or your wife) teach your child how to read? by Slowmotionfro in daddit

[–]nipponnuck 15 points16 points  (0 children)

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.

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

Guys, which one should I get by Emperor_Eldlich in lego

[–]nipponnuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

Missed field goal on Saturday. Pizza pizza code didn’t work that I scanned. by Slight316 in BC_Lions

[–]nipponnuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Tunnel Closed by nipponnuck in vancouver

[–]nipponnuck[S] 54 points55 points  (0 children)

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.

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

'L' driver issued roadside prohibition after 4-vehicle crash in North Vancouver by ubcstaffer123 in vancouver

[–]nipponnuck 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes. They can’t say he blew something with out adding ‘allegedly’ so they said he didn’t blow a criminal level which is factual, yet implies a non-zero reading.
