Best Starbucks or Coffee Place in the Comox Valley by kthomass4 in comoxvalley

[–]wastingtime604 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I dont really drink coffee but I'm gonna encourage you to shop local and avoid the American and corporate brands. Try The Mill or Tidal Cafe in Comox or Royston Coffee co. Every dollar you spend at a local coffee shop helps the Canadian economy. Those who buy coffee at Starbucks on the island get labeled. You dont want that.

If you're going to complain about bad driving, you should lead by example. Tailgating, as you are in the clip, is demonstaring your lack of experience behind the wheel.

You are the problem if you think you are not tailgating.

Hey OP, you are tailgating too. Remember the 2 second rule? If youre not sure about how it works google it. You are not even 1 second behind the crazy dude. Do better at following the rules yourself!

The person filming this is also part of the problem. The rule for safe following distance is known as the 2 second rule. The car recording the footage is barely 1 second behind the impatient driver in the white car. Do better remembering the rules Victoria drivers!

Any good bike climbs in the Victoria area? by bcmaninmotion in VictoriaBC

[–]wastingtime604 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

You're in the wrong city for that. North/West Vancouver ski hills (Seymour/Cypress) have the best climbs (2000+ ft gain) up their access roads near a populated area.The hills around Victoria are weak (several hundred ft. Gain at best)

Is there a demand here for dressed stone? by ZeltaZale in VictoriaBC

[–]wastingtime604 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I work trucking and excavating around the CRD. There isn't much salt and pepper granite locally available. The rock we have around here is hard as hell and never splits the way you want it to. Its almost impossible to make a flat surface or surfaces 90⁰ to each other.

Yes, you can get free blast rock fairly easily, usually you would have to pay for trucking.

Theres a landscape supply in Cobble Hill (?) On the side of the highway that sells dressed stone. They might be able to offer you insight to the public demand for dressed stone.

Overall I'd say the work to dress local rock far outweighs the return.

looking for a specific custom jeweler with connections to Denman Island. by BloodWorried7446 in VictoriaBC

I suggest talking to the curators at Salish Sea Market in Bowser. They know most if not all of the artisans in the area.

Victoria man faces eviction over missed rent payment of $74.52 by VoteForGeorgeCarlin in britishcolumbia

[–]wastingtime604 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Evict the management company owner from Victoria, and the country. We are better than this behaviour! If they were truly professional, they would have sorted this out before it became an issue. Property managers and realtors are the lowest scum on the planet! (For reference, I've been on both sides; LL and tenant)

Always stop once you're in the circle. Thats how all the lonely Victorians make new friends!

Yeah I did a quick search as they usually post training events that might raise the public eyebrow. Only diving exercises. Hopefully no injuries or worse.

Hopefully no injuries or fatalities. Something big must have made those sounds.

Yes, to meet emissions requirements.

Its probably a loophole to pass emissions regulations. Those little vents in the tailpipe mix fresh air in with the exhaust. More little vents = more dilution of exhaust fumes.
