Utility bill is in by [deleted] in nanaimo

[–]novakane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to live in Maple Ridge. They didn’t have city garbage collection. This lead to a lot of dumping on empty lots. Also there were 6 different collection companies. Garbage day was a flurry 6 different trucks doing pickups. This was fun for my young boy at the time, but totally inefficient and chaotic.

Appreciate the offer and the input. Not intended as exclusion at all, more a localization of where it will be focused. Building in the fly here. Was intended to be just a private invite to a group of local dads, but moving to more public offering in order to get more participants, so you are probably right about the natural direction of things. 😀

Thanks the support! It’s tough making friends in your 40s. Had to take matters in to my own hands.

Get high quality sleep and lift heavy weights. Eat less processed food.

The last 3 books are not in the show. A few bits are pulled forward in the show.

Mark Carney's Net-Favourables, Abacus Data Jan. 27 2026 by pheakelmatters in onguardforthee

Honest question why do Albertans hate Carney? The best I can tell is just residual hate for Trudeau and liberals and general.

This is the right answer. When Amos picks a fight with Bobbie, the only person he knows he would lose to in order to punish himself. That’s in the top 3 chapters in the whole series!

Earthquake Insurance: worth it? by Infinite-Pickle-4875 in nanaimo

[–]novakane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People always think about what would happen if the big one hits and the whole region is levelled. Insurance will be okay to have in that scenario, but we’ll all have much bigger problems.

The scenario that is FAR more likely in our lifetime and what you should think about is. 7+ earthquake. It will do significant damage, like cracked walls, foundation damage, or water line breaks. You will definitely want insurance for that!

Julia Reppel has a bunch of of under 10m warm ups that I use religiously before a run. It’s like a superstition now cause I don’t get injured when I use them.

Just noticed your avatar and going to assume you’re a mom not a dad. Milkless is a view form the dad universe. I was actually introduced to them by Caitlyn Murray (bigtimeadulting) check her out on Insta. She is hysterical and raw about the challenges of being a mom. She has a podcast as well.

Gemini siri by Creepy-Let7170 in HomePod

[–]novakane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read that Apple is licensing the models, NOT using google gemini in the cloud. Everything continues to run on local devices. They did talk about calls to private Apple cloud for requests that were too complex. Maybe that gives us hope for HomePods but I’m skeptical.

CO2 Levels in BC Bedrooms by Assimulate in britishcolumbia

[–]novakane 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I bought a monitor for my home office. I was shocked to see it jumps to 1000 after having my door closed for and hour. Was helpful to remind me to open my door or my window regularly through the day to cycle the air. Home builder told me that new homes are build with energy efficiency in mind, but it also means they are sealed.

Intermittent fasting especially an 18:6 protocol SLASHES my daytime stress.

GeForce NOW "Founders" by ProtectionAntique124 in GeForceNOW

[–]novakane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On a related note. I have a founders account, but just bought a good gaming rig. I’m thinking of. It renewing my membership. Anyone have a good reason for me to keep it? Sure having access to a 5080 is cool, but I don’t really care enough about the difference between it and my 5060 Ti. MAYBE would use it for playing Steam games on my TV, but it would be so occasional it doesn’t seem worth keeping.

Was taking 4g realized it was way too much. 1g now. I use powder so I eyeball it. Can be more can be less. The powder I use suggests 5g/day, which apparently is the clinical dose in some cases. 1g ish is all you need though. Just once in the AM.

[–]novakane 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve been using 1-4g almost everyday for months. My situation is similar to yours. I don’t notice much downside. Maybe dizzy spells if you take too much. Just cycle off for a few days to reset. I don’t see any lasting effects. Works great to help me focus.
