  1. Huge riot happening at the PNE. Vancouver sure knows how to riot Lol

  2. Not to be cold or insensitive at this time, but I want to know why some people cry at a famous person's passing (besides sentiments of loss/ shock) when they haven't met them before.  I guess the usual virtue signaling e.g., from posting IG stories in their memory is normal, I don't understand the sadness.

    If this is you, could you provide some reasons behind the tearing up?  (e.g., anecdotes/ if they meant something to you personally/ significant moments e.g. meeting them); thanks, and RIP Queen E.  

  3. Any relatively expensive burgers in the lower mainland that are actually worth the price?

      Fatburger is just a chain, not really anything I'd go back to. Step above Ronnie's I guess.

       

      Vera's is a nice option tho, its an honest burger.

      For expensive I'd go to the Pourhouse in Gastown (around $25 I think last time I was there) - everything they make here is pretty damn good. 

       

      For a surprisingly good burger in the mid-range I'd go to Red Truck Brewery, they actually have really good food there.

  5. For those who work from home, what brand of headset with built in microphone do you use when interacting with co-workers and clients?  I looked online, but there are so many brands to choose from. 

  6. Feeling lucky as a Canuck Dan,something is in the air!

  7. Let's get down to business 

  8. Need some pointers on privately selling a vehicle, never done it before.  What site to use, test drives, what do I need to do with icbc, etc.  Thx

  10. So, if the current world view is to remove/take down statues of people that were involved with slavery, why is it that the pyramids in Egypt are not being destroyed? Afterall, the Egyptians used slaves to build them!

      yep really, watch the NPR video. 

       

      Not sure I see a good argument for keeping the statues?

      ouch another own goal, Loui :lol:

       

      there's a difference between something happening at the time, and using it decades later to push a racist agenda. 

       

      Its worth looking up the history on the statues: https://www.npr.org/2017/08/20/544266880/confederate-statues-were-built-to-further-a-white-supremacist-future

      good point @4petesake

       

      the pyramids were at least built (or begun to be built) for a ruler at or near the end of his life. 

       

      Most of the confederate statues were built later to push a racist agenda.

      interesting point. Many cultures did use slaves and there are a lot of things we look at with awe that were built with a lot of hardship.

       

      Its also hard to remove a pyramid.

  15. I think I am going to bake banana bread or brownies!  

     

    Do glass oven safe baking pans require cooking spray/grease?

    1. JM_

      JM_

      why not both?

       

      I'd butter those pans, makes a nicer crust and won't stick.

  16. wild that Evan Rodrigues is still unsigned. Would be a great pick-up if Miller is moved in a deal with no C returned. 

  17. This right here folks is why advanced stats should not be taken seriously

     

     

  18. what 3 players on the team do we need the least?

  19. I somehow passed my CPA CFE. Still having trouble believing it's finally over.

     

    I still have to get experience to become a CPA, but the worst of it is over.

  20. John Scott’s dig at the Sedins at the end of the Miller interview-yikes

     

     

  21. Sounds like Horvat may be re-signed before the season starts. #MillerTrade=P

  22. I wonder if there's a way to check what percentage of threads in the past 3 months ended up getting side-tracked (even briefly) by a JT Miller-related post. ^_^

  23. are teams aware that Paul Stastny is still good
