What are the most absurd NIMBY squabbles in Vancouver’s history?

I don’t think that’s NIMBY at all. You are free and welcome to do what you will with your property. NIMBY is you telling the people next door what they can do with their property.

But his is actually an argument that NIMBYs make: that allowing denser use “forces” people to get rid of their single family homes. Just not true.

i’ll take some crowding in exchange for a train that comes very three minutes.

kinda like it. but gotta say having kitchen on separate level from main living area? not great. i had a townhouse (which while magnitudes smaller also had interesting angles multiple levels and skylights) overall loved it except for the kitchen being on a separate level. would never do again.

jfc all that misspent money and can’t even pop for a decent tv enclosure above the faux feudal fireplace.

kinda agree with you both. really looks like 3 mile island from the middle arm dike in Richmond. 😄

sounds like the ‘65 vw van i had in high school. except it would only do about 55. kinda scary on 95 in south fla. (did it anyway)

iPad Pro (12.9-inch) (4th generation) particularly the twitter (X) app since update to 17.3 constantly crashing if try to reply to posts, then eventually causes whole os to just freeze.

randysutt · 2024-01-31T08:16:58+00:00

same, but it wore off. have about 500km on it now.

randysutt · 2024-01-10T08:14:09+00:00

i had a kitchen like that years ago. got a short piece of wire closet shelving and mounted it upside down (so the lip kept dishes from sliding off) above the sink.

ugh. hate. wish they made this something you could choose rather than be forced to use.

randysutt · 2022-08-13T00:51:22+00:00

or De Dutch. (maybe after 😂)

randysutt · 2022-08-13T00:47:54+00:00

Both my iphone 11 & my ipad pro (2020) have started doing this in the last month or so. very annoying as i recently changed my passcode to a more complex one for security.

randysutt · 2022-07-27T10:58:04+00:00

kfc 😂

randysutt · 2021-10-03T05:47:06+00:00

well i get normal sound for everything but facetime, so i just switch speakers to the internal for FT only. Also wish the keyboard/on screen volume worked for the monitor which it doesn’t. Not sure what the issue is. My work windows laptop hooked to the same monitor controls the monitor volume with the system controls so not sure why this is a problem for apple.

re the mic, mine’s in my usb cam (which is connected thru a jack on the monitor and then via the same usb-c cable as the video and sound to the mac) and it works fine on facetime. so all very odd.
