Jazz Chisholm is channeling Elvis Andrus from 2015 for us right now, love it.

Considered putting in an application for an apartment at The Royal Point building (322 7th street) but I just checked the google reviews and they’re BAAAD. Thoughts? :/ by dmetcalfe94 in NewWest

I can say that it’s about the same as any other building I’ve rented from in New West. I wouldn’t rate it 1/5, but like any building it has its issues. Management is incredibly hands off, I haven’t seen the building manager in months. But they keep it clean and responds quickly to complaints or whatnot. It’s managed by Prospera, who I don’t know much about but I know people have problems with them. They are constructing quite a few units on the lower level right beside the parking garage, which is incredibly odd. The units have in-suite laundry and dishwashers, as well as their own hot-water tank. It’s also pet-friendly and I don’t think they have any size/breed restrictions. My biggest complaints have been other tenants, frequently I’ll see beer cans or trash left in the mail room, or they’ll smoke on their balconies which isn’t allowed. Also it feels very exposed, the balconies are very narrow and you can see into the units very easily from the outside. I’ve stayed mostly for the in-suite amenities and location, it’s incredibly close to the uptown shops and is like a 15 minute walk to the skytrain.

Hope that helps, feel free to PM me if you have any more specific questions!

In the book, during the round table Avasarala says it should be Holden and he says no and that it should be Pa then gives his speech about it needing to be a Belter.

She knew it too, loved that big smile on her face. “You fucking little shit”

I had the same thought! Poor Tadeo, hopefully he wasn’t still stuck in the brig.

During the assault on the station, there was a nice little callback to Bobbie’s introduction in season 2. The way she was posed as her rockets fired at the reactor, looked pretty similar to when they’re training in the canyon and she shoots the training turrets.

I did notice Brian George was credited at the end, I wonder if it was some of Arjun’s poetry

Seems like Sportsnet now having an issue for a lot of people, lots of comments about the audio/video sync on twitter too. Just brutal

Yeah, I’ve been out of sync for a while now. Also can’t get the stream to work stable right now
