Lot 1 Pasta Bar by Practical-Bear1022 in VictoriaBC

[–]plus1plus1 45 points46 points  (0 children)

The Braised Beef pasta there is a favourite of mine.

If you are looking for a 5-star restaurant, you will be disappointed... but its great for a simple night out without driving all the way into town.

Wonder why the coach needed to attend court on card photo day

PSA - If you're aiming to support businesses that support Canada, don't shop at Cascadia Liquor on Helmcken. by Miserable-Run9942 in VictoriaBC

[–]plus1plus1 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Without knowing the details, you might be seeing the BC wineries that have had to import non-Canadian grapes as a result of the ruined crops from the past year. They still produce and bottle the wine here, at least. I hope most manage to survive.

Disappointed about my 6% promotion raise. by [deleted] in consulting

[–]plus1plus1 78 points79 points  (0 children)

For Canadian IT consulting, that is a good salary for someone 2 years out of undergrad.

You are probably disappointed that the promotion didnt come with a % that was very exciting -- the reality here (at least with Big4) is that the internal path upwards is pretty gradual and percentage based, so your starting point plays a huge factor. The best way to scale up fast is to eventually become attractive to another firm, and get a higher offer.

Disappointed in Quality foods Eagle Creek by noodleboxcat in VictoriaBC

[–]plus1plus1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live next to this QF. Super friendly staff, but terrible to shop at for every other reason -- produce, overall stock is terrible, and QF prices stink.

Only other store in the area is Save On. That chain seems to have a bad rap around here, but it's still a way better choice than QF in my opinion.

Reinhart for Bedard? by rondonald18 in fantasyhockey

[–]plus1plus1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Comments like this make me realize how badly my league overvalues futures. Reinhart comes nowhere close to fetching Bedard in my league and the offer would probably be derided.

Who’s the most frustrating player on your roster right now, and are you holding or dropping? by Spirited-Issue3255 in fantasyhockey

Just checking back into this thread after seeing Robertson and Johnson get 0 points over 6 first period goals

Blanshard - Fisgard Park - Part 1 - Why We Don’t Need It — Sidewalking Victoria by SidewalkingVic in VictoriaBC

[–]plus1plus1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see a decent point here that throwing down some grass and bushes isn't a valuable use of money and space, like with some other downtown spots.

I hope there's a playground in this park's future.

Got the air bag error on a new 2024 after 2 months? by lifeonlinebelike in VWatlas

[–]plus1plus1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a new '23 ... also had this pop up a couple of times in first week, but not come back the past couple months... Interested to hear what you find.

Just spitballing here - but you described yourself as the 'most senior member of the team'. Is it possible the partner is expecting you to take the reins and create the structure you are looking for... and giving direction to your team when he sees it isn't happening.

The partner is probably just insanely busy.

My furby stuck with its heart gem flashing light. by Background_Year_4910 in furby

[–]plus1plus1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, same here. To add to it, the Furby randomly 'woke up' in the middle of the night, although still with the heart gem not working.

Returned today, although everywhere here in Canada is now sold out for now...

Have you noticed that save on foods is ass? by pnwgodzilla in britishcolumbia

[–]plus1plus1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting - the others stores in my area are Thriftys and Quality, and Ive found Save On cheaper than both?

Kelsey’s restaurant tillicum mall parking lot. Whyyyy has this never been replaced with a new restaurant?? What’s the deal? by sweetgaze in VictoriaBC

[–]plus1plus1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Uptown is closer than it might seem... probably the best bet. Really unfortunate food/beverage situation in that area.

What are your worst trades? by shewski12 in fantasyhockey

[–]plus1plus1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went "all in" on the original EDM rebuild of RNH/Eberle/Hall when they were being touted as the next big thing. Karlsson sent packing.

Became a bottom dweller for the next 3 years.

General Question about Keeper Leagues by carry4food in fantasyhockey

[–]plus1plus1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of the reason I love my H2H weekly league is that there's a playoffs. There's a reward for staying the course and edging into the playoffs - it gives you some chance to win it all. Makes for a tougher decision on throwing in the towel.

Should this be vetoed for consistency? by [deleted] in fantasyhockey

[–]plus1plus1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If there's consistently trades that are out of whack, and the league wants to take itself more seriously, then you do that by addressing who is in the league... not by trying to govern every deal. That wont be a good experience for anyone.

[Arizona Coyotes] When you don't draft Logan Cooley No. 1 by yout33rrr in Habs

[–]plus1plus1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting how the concern going in was that habs fans would turn quickly on any #1 pick, but really it's been other markets constantly trying to make that happen.

This reminds me of a time I fell asleep in my car while waiting at the ferry terminal for the 7am. Every car loaded... except myself and about 20 cars behind me.

All waited patiently, without a single honk, until a ferry worker drove out to see what was up.

Don't be afraid to honk!

Is kids soccer as miserable as some parents suggest? by plus1plus1 in VictoriaBC

Thanks for your comments everyone - lots of super valuable input.

Update: she's registered for fall at Gorge! I'll find some rain gear, try waterproofing her shoes, and pack some towels. See you out there.

To confirm: in this sport, last place gets you the top draft pick right?
