New West seems to be either Oakridge or the third Marpole. I want ChatGPT to do my next property assessment (lol)

Uptown New West has everything a senior could want in walking distance and this new rental tower under construction rentuptownwest.com And it’s flat between the senior centre, park, library and mall

Wow! Very cool!

Chop saws are great! It’s pretty easy to keep fingers away from the blade IMO

who is the visiting team?

I’m very happy with my Gazelle Medeo

haha, seconded

4 friends, plus Lorenzi and Christa. Amazing.

Your excitement is contagious. Congratulations!

Ozzy’s death is part of a larger mourning of the 20th century. The 20th century was so creatively super charged and each year we lose more icons that redefined the expression of human experience. As AI encroaches more into creative spaces this century, it feels like the loss of Arts and Artists.

Man, Ozzy was fucking cool. I was too much of a nerd to listen to his music until fairly recently, but Black Sabbath made the darkness fun. And his voice was sublime.

One of my coworkers opens milk cartons like a racoon on meth. Should I find a new job?

I’m gonna have to miss it 😢 I’m chauffeur mom tonight

Update: I got the Chevy Bolt. It’s perky!!!

It’s a sweet 2004 Toyota Echo. You see a lot of them on the road still

Should I buy yours??? I was looking for 2020 or newer but I’m very easily influenced

My broken down car has hand cranked windows and manual everything and a tape deck. I love(d) it

FWIW, I’ve been waiting for a tow truck for over an hour. Cars suck

Today I’m shopping for a used EV. Contenders are the Chevy Bolt, Fiat and Nissan Leaf. I’m looking for experiences, opinions and tips from all you fine folk.

They’re almost trains!

Double decker buses are the only fun buses

A intense close-up of Jack Nicholson as Jack Torrance from "The Shining." He has long, unkempt dark hair, a furious expression with bared teeth and glaring eyes, clutching his chest in a dark jacket. The background is a blurry, snowy tunnel or maze, evoking a frozen, menacing atmosphere.

The Shining is my favourite horror movie.
And I started to think as I often do, "any bits of Canadiana in this?"
Turns out, there are a lot!
Here are the Canadian connections to The Shining from the hotel itself, to the paintings inside.

Wha?! Yeah Jocelyn, have the HAPPIEST BIRTHDAY!

Not-Burnaby is probably too quiet for you

Two nails vertically on the wide face of a board will prevent racking, like on this shelf sketch

Another way to join wood using the structural advantage of stacked screws

I got this shed book from the library (I’m building myself a shed this summer). It has some nice detail drawings with simple lumber connections that will stay square

#NewWest shout out to Griff Lumber in Queensborough. Great service and better lumber than the big box stores and they’re locally owned!

NW subtweet 😂

I haven’t made one, but based on your sketch I think you have a good idea what you’re doing. One thing to watch for: the side facing in the drawing is going to want to turn into a parallelogram, so make sure you fasten things in a way that keeps your corners square over time.
