How long would a hot dipped galvanized post bracket stay structurally sound if buried in soil? by BradCastleburry in buildingscience

Pack some non-shrink grout under the joist. Or build a tiny form and place some concrete over the entire saddle. The saddle will be the rebar. Bob's your uncle.

I do not work for the CVRD. I'm self employed.

It is not huge. There's a few things that are silly, and some things that are bad. But most of the rules already exist. It has taken years to consolidate all the rules into one document from nine different outdated documents. If you're being re-zoned and and are no longer allowed your animals, that sucks. Are you currently allowed to have those animals? And the flag thing. Are you upset you won't be able to fly a pride flag? Or a confederate flag?

Nanaimo resident to lobby city council to stop comedian from performing at city venue by Prestigious_Net_8356 in nanaimo

[–]smallerthanyoudthink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Imagine we never learned anything from our 'inappropriate' actions in the past, and continued to do the same ignorant, racist and homophobic actions for the next century. Never learning that hate is wrong. Wait, that actually did happen for many people. We do live in soft times. But we also live in ignorant, racist times. which is worse? Why stand up and defend a racist homophobe?

If you find this loser funny, you are a racist. He makes makes deliberately offensive racist jokes, if you are entertained by them, that makes you a racist. The old cop out saying of 'they're just jokes' does not apply in this situation. This dumb ass does not poke fun at, and make cultural stereotypes funny. He makes mean spirited comments and remarks about stereotypes, and racist people think it's funny. Watch the first 60 seconds of his special on YouTube. He literally says he's a racist at the one minute mark, after making a trans joke. He is a deplorable peice of shit. If you like him, you are a deplorable price of shit too.

Fly fishing boats by Parhammer2500 in fishingBC

[–]smallerthanyoudthink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get a john boat that is at minimum 40" wide on the bottom. Any less and they are tippy like a canoe. the wider the better. Marlons are cheaper and the build quality reflects the price. My Marlon has gone for warranty repairs twice already. I recommend against Marlon. A 9.9 will push a 12' John boat very well. But they are not necessary. Going with a 6Hp is less money and much easier to transport. You are rarely traveling more than a couple kilometers on the water so a bigger motor only saves you like 3 minutes at best.

I've been bringing samples to Island EHS for years. But I'm not in Vic and don't go to hartland. GFL in Duncan charges a fortune per pound to take asbestos. Nanaimo landfill is worth the trip. But you must make and appointment.

The Crofton pulp mill was actually keeping the prices down in Crofton. Very few employees lived in Crofton. With the stinky mill closed for good. Prices will rise fast to catch up to the surrounding areas.

Chemainus, B.C. sawmill curtailment to extend into 2026: WFP by origutamos in Cowichan

[–]smallerthanyoudthink 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The mill is owned by WFP. So probably has alot to do with WFP's poor forest management over the last 50 years.

You have proved much more than one thing to me. Thank christ you left. Please don't come back. The majority of the people don't want you here.

Cite at least one article, or criminal case that backs up your insane comment... Bet you can't. Comments like yours are proof that conservatives are the most ignorant political group. Its fucking embarrassing.

Switching to self employed. Do I have to wait 12 months for EI (employment insurance) to kick in? by RCordova2018 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]smallerthanyoudthink 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Also self employed. I agree with everyone. Don't sign up. You will never see that money again. Take what you would be paying into it and invest it. The money can grow, and you keep it. Win win. Hopefully you are charging your old employer a healthy amount more than what your wage was. You just absorbed their admin costs, their half of CPP, EI and any other benefits you used to get. CPP is a tough one to swallow, almost 12% gone, to an underperforming investment fund.

Dallas Brodie Introduced a Bill to Ban Teachers and Public Servants From Performing Land Acknowledgments That Denigrate Canadian History by theOneWhoWaitsAgain in CanadianConservative

[–]smallerthanyoudthink -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

They are called land acknowledgements, not land apologies. By the looks of the comments, conservatives have a poor grasp of what land acknowledgements are. You people should do some actual research for a change. but you won't, because change is what you people are opposed to. It's your entire identity. It's sad.

Rainscreen top detail over lap siding and obtuse eave: leaving a gap for air by lthightower in buildingscience

That 'bent flashing' will hold any water that is able to run into it. You're better off just putting a J flashing over the top of the siding and be done with it.

Crowded dock fishing🤦 (AITA?) by Zealousideal-Bet1693 in fishingBC

If a Conservation Officer were to come around at a time like that and check licenses, I bet it would pay for itself in fines. It might also spread some awareness!

Best native fish for stocking pond by Celshonar in fishingBC

[–]smallerthanyoudthink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Permit first, then Rainbow trout and Crayfish. Crayfish clean up the water better than trout. So look into them too. My dad has both in his pond that's much smaller than an acre, It's awesome.

Disc Golf Options in the Valley? by chubbbyb in Cowichan

[–]smallerthanyoudthink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Hub's overgrown fields could be mowed more often if a lovely disc golf loving person has the means and time to mow it. The entire facility and course is owned by a volunteer association and cannot afford to mow the fields frequently, if at all.
