It's extremely upsetting to see someone walk up my front path and snap an entire branch off of one of my dahlia plants. The audacity.

If you know this person, please tell them to do better.

So many clouds...but there were a few spaces between them.

How did it pass fire inspections? Were there working sprinklers? And since it is now demolished so soon after, I'm assuming there will still be an investigation as to cause. Firefighters took a defensive position, understandable, but what about news reports of missing person?

Robin Kimpton is in Van now. Will he be investigated? I hope. I've met him, and he is an ornery man with little care for others. He was renting suites illegally. Was the city aware of this? And no, this was never a supportive housing site. Just a vacant hotel owned and run by a slum lord.

I was interested in attending the Slow Burn Dating event at the Royal BC Museum last week but wasn't able to make it.

For those who went, how was it? Was it well organized? What kinds of activities were there? Was attendance fairly balanced between men and women?

I'm also curious about the age range, whether most people attended solo or with friends, and whether you'd go again in the future.

I think this one will be the next to Burn. It is at the corner of Douglas at Chatham.

Island bus requires booking a day in advance, so I guess I'm just stuck up here for another day. If we aren't going to get a train, we at least need to get reliable bus route, this is absurd.

hi all, wrote this one today in response to conservative voters

Hey folks- I just tried to make an appointment for Nov 7th, after we were supposed to move to StandardTime, and the calendar (the one with Rogers/Shw webmail) wouldn't let me!! It wants me to reset my time zone to something it recognizes, as the warning says "we are unable to identify the time zone in your area. Please choose one from the list...."

Anybody else run into this and how did it work for you?

BTW- I wonder what Microsoft has in store for the million or so Windows PCs affected by this decision.

What are some good places for a big steak dinner? It’s a birthday dinner, but we’re also kinda poor so… maybe not the most expensive place around lol 😅

Somewhere downtown or at least not too far out of the area would be the best since we don’t have a car. Thanks!

Edit: to clarify on price, I just mean no crazy expensive, hundreds of dollars for a wagyu kinda place, should’ve been more clear there. Just one person is getting a steak. The $70 range is fine, under would be great, a little over could be worth it.

Not stuffy old lady place.. any thoughts, anyone have someone in any of the seniors homes, independent living I guess, that aren’t like grandmas house?

BC Ferries CEO has been let go.

Howdy folks! Looking to watch some salmon jumping up/on/over things again this Fall, but not sure if the season has started yet or not.

Has anyone gotten any good sightings yet? When's the best time of the season to go? (and time of day, for that matter)

Also looking for new spots to watch from. Any recommendations other than Goldstream Provincial Park?

Anyone know what the incredibly loud droning sound is off Quadra near the Shell station? Quadra and Falmouth/Palmer? It’s almost midnight and it has been going on for at least half an hour. It sounds like construction noise, like jackhammering or an incredibly loud car staying in the same spot.

Hi redditors! Looking for a quiet pub in downtown as my wife is retiring, has hearing aids and would like to be able to hear conversations without shouting.

Let me know.
