Damn, fasteners are expensive nowadays. I'll head down there and clean them up for free!

I do think that some kind of micro-apartments make sense for Vancouver, as long as the density problems can be solved.

BOTW was my first Zelda game. I hated the item degradation, but everything else about the game was so good that I eventually got over that

Vancouver has a reputation of "no fun city", so why should it be any different here? /s

From the image it does look like a 15-pin vga cable, which would have been an uncommon thing to require gender bending. It was a lot more common for DB9 and DB15 serial ports.

I probably still have boxes of such things somewhere. Yeah, back in the 1990's we had all kinds of not-politically-correct nicknames for various cables and adapters.

Yup. Anything near False Creek is a literal toilet bowl.

Boundary Bay (Centennial Beach, Crescent Beach) is nice and clean.

Buy (or clone) a couple of Amiibos and you'll get some decent weapon drops every day.

I'm usually glad that I'm not a Vancouver taxpayer when I see all the nonsense that taxpayer money gets wasted on.

But as a Surrey taxpayer, I'm not in a position to throw stones at Vancouver anymore. This whole policing fiasco is embarrassing.

As predictable as the tide's ebb and flow is new White Rock restaurants opening and failed White Rock restaurants closing. I understand the obvious reasons why some businesses fail: too much competition, high rent, lack of customers during winter or bad weather, razor-thin margins.

But there's a couple White Rock businesses that seem to be stillborn and I'm curious why:

  • Seed and Stone (a weed shop on west beach) had their sign on a store for months and months, but it never opened. The sign recently disappeared.
  • Chef Tian's (east beach) has had a big sign on the the building for a year, but has never opened.

I'm presuming that both businesses spent money on a lease and spent money putting up signs, so I'm curious what prevented them from opening.

  • 15% for a regular sit-down meal
  • 10% for lunch at a 'quick casual' place
  • A buck or two for delivery
  • Zero or pocket change for take-out
