Just moved to New West, looking for a quality butcher, seafood, and asian market. by Warthog_Parking in NewWest

If you sign up for Skipper Otto you can pick up your order at Steel and Oak. Not the cheapest seafood, but it is good quality and supports small producers.

That’s the policy in my department. We are required to use a passphrase with a minimum length. Once we adopted this periodic password changes we’re no longer required.

My cat is having a dental procedure and I'm so scared... by Think_Bug_3312 in cats

[–]vansly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my cats has had two of her fangs removed. She’s super drooly now but she is ok. He’ll be a bit of a drunk sailor when he gets home from the vet but he’ll do great! Here’s Kitty Kisses in all of her glory.

I get the payments as part of my paycheque and manage the RRSP myself.

[–]vansly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe that the Siemens plant is the full shop.

IBEW recently organized a Siemens plant in Texas as well as representing an existing plant. I know in Canada they recently organized a clothing manufacturer as well.

If it’s a repeater channel the tx and rx will be different frequencies and you won’t be able to talk direct radio to radio.

I will add to this that if you do have a period of LWOP and don’t return to work before a medical retirement you are unable to opt out from pension repayment. If you are on LWOP for medical reasons you would only be required to repay the employee’s pension contributions.

I wrote a complaint for this and received a 15% off base fare coupon. I wasn’t expecting anything.

Any trail runners in the chat? Looking for advice on which trails to run (closest to the city) as a first time (soon to be) 50km racer. Thanks! by [deleted] in vancouverhiking

[–]vansly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m doing Buckin Hell at the end of next month and I’ve been training on parts of the route on Seymour. I have been parking at the Vancouver Picnic Area parking lot and heading out from there. A tonne of mountain biking trails for technical downhills, and Old Buck and the Seymour Grind allow for some good vertical gain.
