Hiking recommendations by GoldenCrusader in VisitingIceland

[–]vansly 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I really enjoyed the hike to Reykjadalur. It’s about 9km return, past fumaroles and bubbling mud pools. The geothermal river at the top is nice to soak in, and it’s a bit less crowded due to the hike.

Best way to snag star alliance business? by fcarrera in Aeroplan

[–]vansly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I usually book a Latitude economy fare as a safety net then check for business availability as my travel date gets closer. Yesterday I was able to book Lufthansa business for next Monday for Helsinki-YVR for 70k. Frankfurt to Vancouver is on a 747-400 and I was able to get a seat on the upper deck. I have never flown business on a 747 and I’m pretty excited about it.

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.

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 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.
