  • Would be nice, but that’s a pipe dream for when Greens fight NDP for power and still probably end working together, so not this timeline.

    I walk wherever I can, hell if I’m bored enough I’ll walk for 2-3 hours to a shop and take a bus back, but the current state of transport and footpaths seriously limits my options and safety. That being said, there are times where I just wanna drive, enjoy music without something uncomfortable stuck in my ear or pressing on my ears, and go wherever I want. And I sure as fuck don’t think spending anything over 20k is worth that freedom unless I expect it to last 20 years minimum.






  • Dunno about the other airports, but what makes it particularly idiotic at YVR is that a lot of extra construction has been happening over the last few years (parking garages it would appear?). And you just know that any private owner will make parking costs sky high and government will see fuckall profit from that investment. Sure they could make very specific contracts with private owner about that, but this is government we’re talking about, buddy of a buddy will be raking it in.

    That sounds about right.
    FWIW sourdough is not terrible after freezing either, as long as your freezer isn’t a moisture sucking drying POS (looking at you home rental fridge freezer), but can’t quite compare to fresh. When we used to buy these in store, we’d generally buy half or quarter of a loaf to eat it while it’s fresh (half was about size of your 1 loaf).
    I figured out the freezing part when I had to live on my own and deal with shopping and school, so convenience was necessary, whilst not overpaying for groceries.





  • Being good at some computer games (not just flight simulators) is helpful in getting through the recruitment process. I’d say a mix of having good orientation and implementing and executing a strategy is required at the very least (and sticking to it, which I didn’t do lol), which you definitely get/practice in games.

    However the actual training process can cut those numbers dramatically, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they ignored obvious red flags with some of these ‘gamers’ just to pump those numbers up.
