B.C. camper heard yelling in the woods not in distress, just singing Nickelback A search and rescue call in Kelowna's Boulderfields area turned out to be a lone camper singing to himself in the woods.

Where else is someone suppose to go to sing Nickleback out loud…

Happy birthday!

I feel the same, hitting 40 last year. I don't know if it's really a failure to still be angsty immature assholes, just a product of our generation.

I've never lost power at my current place. Of course literally two days before I move out and it goes out.... πŸ˜‘

As it was I absolutely did sell the condo at a loss when you factor in the land transfer tax on purchase and the realtor fees on the sale.

But with the softening across the board, I managed to find a house with a very motivated seller and got it for well under assessed value.

We have a housing shortage but realistically, at least in Metro Vancouver, we're not going to be building any significate number of new detached homes.

I jumped back into a detached home after selling my previous one in the Fraser Valley to move closer to the city for work.

β€˜Kind of stuck’: Weak condo market means tough choices for potential move-up buyers While optimism is building in some parts of Canada for a rebound in the real estate market, condominium dwellers wanting to move up to a larger space face tough choices amid little sign of improvement...

Looks like it was a good idea that I sold my condo a couple months ago.

As it was my condo was on the market for 30 days before I even got an offer and viewings were maybe a couple a week.

So this was attributed to Scattered Spider as I recall. How long before that group gets shut down or other members of The Com get caught. Opsec between group members is often never perfect.

I don't know of enough BC politicians on this platform to pester, and I've fully moved away from that other one.

Really need to emphasize all levels of government: federal, provincial, municipal, crown corps need to get off that platform.

Just going to finally say it out loud, fuck the IDF.

This prison was notorious for holding political prisoners, killing those imprisoned for opposing Iran's government is not "liberation"....

20/24 for myself.

I think having been to both coasts should be on the list (I’ve done that too)

Looking forward to the RCMP enforcing them in Pitt Meadows.

There's been an ongoing issue with kids riding them down Harris at 50+ km/hr weaving in and out of traffic.

Two pictures of a silver 2007 Pontiac G5. Top picture is when it was brand new, bottom picture is 12 years later. No major visible difference.

I only sold it because of a divorce and the 2dr with young kids wasn't a great solution since my ex took the family vehicle. From Day 1 to the last day.

Also, that GM Ecotec 2.2L with the Getrag 5 speed was bullet proof for me while I stayed top of regular maintenance. Parts were never an issue and I don't recall much difficulty doing any work on it.

Agreed.

In hind sight I absolutely shouldn't have bought a new car when I was 23. I did manage to be lucky in that the payments were only $383/month for 5 years and I drove that thing for 12 years and over 360K KM or 220K Miles.

Yup, and the research consistently shows overall trans people are not transitioning to be straight..

Must be a day ending in 'y' as there's a new op ed from a cis white gay adamantly saying he'd be forced to transition if he was a kid today.

Do politicians just not want to work any more once they get elected?

Maybe there's a short pier at the beach he can for for a long walk on.

70% here, I've noticed my limitation is with limited background. AI is great with the main character, but often slips up with added noise.

Also worrying having previously worked in K-12 IT; the youth will use whatever VPN is free, available, and works regardless of any other risks it's use might pose.

As a life long Canucks fan, what the fuck...

Didn't even bother getting some salary retention, I don't think he's worth the 5.125m for the year, the 4th round this year makes sense though.

Socially integrated, maybe. Stealth nope, or at least where I'm not coming out to everyone all the time.

Between work, a long-term relationship, having a couple kids from my previous marriage, and not living in an area with a lot of local queer events, I don't make it to bigger events.
