I'm sure this will be down voted but I'm gonna be the buzz kill here, not only should the dog be inside but it should be wearing a seatbelt.

A good friend of mine got rear ended a few weeks ago and the cops said the dog was spared some severe injury by its seatbelt.

No question it's pretty dorky but if you get in an accident or your dog decides it likes something out the window, with its weight in gold.

https://www.alltrails.com/trail/canada/british-columbia/east-sooke-coast-trail This is a personal favourite! Its fairly chill elevation and theres many places on the trail to cut back to the parking lot so you can do varying distances

There are literally carryable ashtrays for this.

These are typically low effort phishing attempts that pretend that they have compromising pictures and then provide a Bitcoin address to pay them. There's generally no follow up and the e-mail they send from is usually spoofed.

Nice, I hope it will integrate with the "Transit" phone app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thetransitapp.droid&hl=en). Currently for Victoria that just uses the schedule rather than real-time information.

(It's a short read)

There are two answers to 90% of the questions on /r/victoriabc

a) That noise came from the naval base by your house.

b) Amazon:

If this isn't exactly right I'm sure they have them https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B000QWK174/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_NCyrAbR8GEA63

Technically they haven't banned you from using plastic bags. What has been banned is stores selling/providing plastic bags for use with your purchases. It isn't even the sale of all plastic bags that has been blocked, just complimentary/nearly complimentary shopping bags. You could, for example, buy a box of plastic bags off of Amazon (900 for $30) and put a few in your pocket when you go grocery shopping. You don't even have to reuse them if you don't want to. Hell, you could buy a box of plastic bags from a grocery store, open it at the till, and fill some of the bags with your purchases. It'd be cheaper just to buy a reusable bag every time, though.

It's important to make the distinction between what you can do and what a business can do. Cities regularly restrict businesses from doing all kinds of things, from products and services that they can offer to hours that they are allowed to operate. Which makes this a really weird place to plant your flag when there are other things that the city restricts which are much more problematic from a libertarian perspective than plastic bags (complimentary or otherwise.)

Ultimately the entire thing is pretty stupid since the city is still allowing paper bags, which actually have a similar environmental impact as plastic. It's just that paper bags' environmental costs are hidden in their production and transportation: paper is significantly heavier to transport and the paper pulping process has a larger footprint than plastic production.

• $8 for gas via Gas Buddy
• $8 for a lite breakfast
• $2 for a coffee
• $2 for a tip

So $20 is fair, especially if you're worried about making it good. Generally I'd be happy if a friend just paid for the breakfast before I gave them a ride. Nice to get goodbye time.

Check out swingvictoria.net for information on this. There main dance runs on Saturday Nights.

In fact, https://www.groupon.com/deals/swing-dance-association-of-victoria ends today. I would check it out. Its a great deal.

Other than that, there is Red Hot Swing (http://www.redhotswing.com/) on fridays as well.

Finally, lots of us dance on Mondays and Tuesdays at Swans. If you are in the area, come find one of the dancers and they can give you more information.

Read the rules and bylaws. Look for rules around storing bikes in the unit or putting bikes in elevators. I know one person who got around a bylaw about bikes in elevators/command areas by getting one of these. Covered the strata's issue with bikes being "dirty".

Not as good as a tutor but, if you haven't somehow heard or it, Khan Academy has some of the best video tutorials on just about every mathematical concept you can think of.

That site has saved my ass a few times when I suddenly needed to actually use math at work.

The Zombie's are approaching.... Saturday Oct 17 is the annual Zombie Walk. At 3pm, they will be sauntering down from Centennial square to the legislature buidlings for photos and such. More details at https://www.facebook.com/events/1403626279932672/permalink/1490511294577503/

and here are some photos I took a few years ago https://photos.google.com/album/AF1QipP_5xzP-XvJh7Ddowy65sKQcaBQhtjKeyh_n6lW

Somehow appropriate: When Walmart Leaves

> "The biggest downside to a Walmart opening up in your community is that after all the protests, the negotiations, and, almost inevitably, the acceptance, the retail giant might just break its lease, pack up shop, and move a mile down the road. The process starts all over again, and Walmart’s giant, hard-won original behemoth of a structure sits abandoned, looming over its increasingly frustrated neighbours."

Leopold's Tavern! Ordered online for my birthday once and made slight change to my order and mentioned it was my birthday. So they sent gifted me some birthday mini doughnuts!

Also, just really good food :)

Here is the average weather for March in Victoria:

https://weatherspark.com/averages/27840/3/Victoria-British-Columbia-Canada

I have lived in Victoria, moving from Ottawa, since 2011 and can say that, weather-wise, March (and every other month) in Victoria is nothing short of pleasant.

I use My Aurora Forecast https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrustonapps.myauroraforecast

It's quite good for giving you the initial heads up on high KP. Living quite far south, these events are sporadic and I'm usually not paying attention.

Jeff Bezos has your back

Ever read Motel of the Mysteries? It the account of archaeologists in 4022 digging up a 1970s motel, and their “interpretations” of the objects they found (like a toilet seat being a shamanistic headdress worn during a ceremony, there the wearer would chat “Sanitized for your protection!”, and other such nonsense).

It fits exactly with what you’re saying here, and is a humorous look at the assumptions we make about the past, and the people who lived in it.

Used to be you could by a disc repair thing in stores, it would use a type of ceramic to fill in deep scratches and some sort of device to grind down the plastic a tiny bit? Probably Best Buy and Walmart have them.

Edit: Amazon has some that are cheaper than local

I got mine from amazon

​

It's not the cheapest but its very visible in an non-distracting kind of way. combined with the lifepaint and the reflectors on my bag I'm golden.

​

I even have arnband lights and reflectors on my bag just in case I get caught out without my gear.

​

Maybe I'm over the top - but I am always seen.

Join meetup.com (or something similar) and then be the person who says 'yes' and shows up on time. It's really that simple.

So many people are looking for friends and some of these people make an effort and invite everyone, but lots of people flake out (last minute cancellations, ghosting, 1 hour late, waiting to see if a better offer comes up, etc.). The person who went to the effort (not me as I like to wait to be invited) is so glad when someone comes and wants to participate in the event that a friendship can often be formed. Enjoy the event; express some gratitude to the organizer; say you'd love to do it again (if you actually feel this way, of course).

It doesn't matter whether it's hard to make friends in this city... who knows if that's true or not... but there are literally tens of thousands of people who have moved here from elsewhere and almost all of them want friends.

So to achieve OPs request: IFTTT!

If (twitter) then (email)

Update: Here's a recipe! https://ifttt.com/recipes/332537-canada-earthquake-email-alert

Note that you could easily enable native iOS or Android alerts instead of email ;)

Update 2: found another one! https://ifttt.com/recipes/48182-e-mail-alert-when-earthquake-near-victoria-bc

Open street map is great for stuff like this. (as it includes a lot of the back country stuff) Take a look here

NOTE: Take that at your own risk and only if you're feeling ambitious.

I hear you, but it didn't come off that way. A wave just wouldn't be large enough. This is literally what it looks like when you view the curve.

I looked at the approximate distance and it is 30 km https://www.omnicalculator.com/physics/earth-curvature and that makes Victoria obscured by around 41 meters when the picture would be taken at say 3 meters on the spit. That could be very likely as you don't see any of Dallas road and around have of the tall buildings.

Leetcode and hackerrank are probably not a good way to improve ( https://betterprogramming.pub/how-you-practice-with-leetcode-for-interviews-is-probably-bad-d4ee2bd7b05f?gi=4db90a06ce0c ). I strongly suggest starting a simple project of your own and reading good books: https://hackr.io/blog/best-programming-books

In addition to some of the other good suggestions, try The WSANEC and their Neighbours

Also consider contacting Dr Brian Thom at UVIC, he does community based research in this area.

If you have some time, read through The Wealthy Barber and The Intelligent Investor. I'm currently reading through the Intelligent Investor and there is a lot of good information in that book.

Could also take a read through some of the threads in /r/PersonalFinanceCanada, as they have some good tips in there.

The Shell station on Interurban (right beside Tillicum Mall) is a coin wand wash Edit: It is on Burnside, right before it turns into Interurban Map

You can live ten minutes from somewhere and have different temperatures. Microclimates. Google probably gets its readings from a central location or the airport, which is nowhere near downtown Victoria. Try Wunderground for more specific locations. I’m in Langford and check the Glen Lake Station readings, which is two minutes from me.

Hey all! I'm so glad that so many of you seem to like the poster! To everyone who has been asking about prints, I do indeed sell physical prints on my Etsy page. However, if it's just the digital source files you are interested in, I would be happy to make them available to you on a by-donation basis. I loathe to ask for money at all, but I recently left my job to focus on art & design full-time, and to be honest I could really use the support :P Even just a couple of bucks would be greatly appreciated, and I will send the files as a .zip to your email address.

The poster measures 12x18 inches and looks great on high-gloss paper or in a frame, but you can probably get pretty good results on basic 11x17 tabloid paper on your home printer too.

Thanks again for all your positive feedback :)

EDIT: A few people have asked for a larger size, so for anyone thinking of picking up the digital files, I have since amended them to include 18x27 inch prints.

Is this it?

I recall stories about the way different people use the needle exchange programs

Which is similar to 10 cents per return return thing. Convenience is a big deal.

/u/osoko Looks like this is a Drupal website that hasn't had the latest critical security patch applied (https://www.drupal.org/sa-core-2018-002) to update the core, which means your site has likely now been hacked.

There isn't much left, but there are the remnants of an old cabin beside Veitch Creek off a spur trail off the Viking Trail. Grab your hiking boots and bear spray. https://www.openstreetmap.org/search?query=48%2027.050%20-123%2036.689#map=17/48.45093/-123.61087&layers=C

https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=2/71.3/-96.8 go here and look for something out past sooke and you'll be fine. Could probably also get away with Sooke Hills Wilderness area as it's mostly hiked by adults. If you go on a week day it's pretty quiet.

Not sure what distances you're used to but the 3 ferry loop is always a favourite. It takes some planning with the ferry schedules and you'll want to leave pretty early from downtown to make it to Ganges for brunch. Here's the basic route http://www.mapmyride.com/ca/victoria-british-columbia/3-ferries-ride-route-8290590

OP is only slightly better than someone buying a home beside an airport or racetrack and then demanding the noises cease/move elsewhere.

We should all share/like/subscribe! :P

/u/psyckitten needs to get a white noise generator or use a laptop/PC to generate sound. With a good speaker you could easily cancel out the frogs.

This one is great: https://mynoise.net/NoiseMachines/whiteNoiseGenerator.php .. because it lets you fiddle around to make something custom tailored to your needs and then save the URL/bookmark it.

Depending on where you live: Gonzales Bay (in Oak Bay) - http://wikimapia.org/4752660/Gonzales-Bay or Gyro Park beach Grab a few blankets, a thermos of hot chocolate and an ipod/iphone of music. Have music that you two can experience together. Perhaps a rock opera: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_opera

Vista 18 is quite delicious and also has one of the best views in the city! Pretty sure you have to reserve ahead of time if you want a chance of getting in, though!

vista18.com

The view. (I have no idea why the rating is so low on here.)

Park at the Sooke Potholes, and walk the Mary Vine trail to Peden Lake. There are some small waterfalls along the trail to the lake. At the lake you can swim (brrr) or paddle around in the canoe.

Yes, that is Mt. Work Park: https://www.crd.bc.ca/docs/default-source/parks-pdf/mount-work-regional-park-brochure.pdf?sfvrsn=2

OpenStreepMap is very good for trails and such around Victoria: https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=14/48.5269/-123.4612

Gas prices did go down and the overall trend was pretty much the same as the rest of the country; BC went from an average of ~$1.30 a litre at the end of September to ~$1.00 a litre today.

As you have a year, I would watch the hundreds of Louis Rossmann videos on board repair and business values https://www.youtube.com/user/rossmanngroup/videos

The free Professor Messor videos for the hardware and network certifications would be also be a good plan http://www.professormesser.com/

I don't disagree with you (except it's not Richter scale) but the Magnitude 9 earthquake is the Cascadia subduction scenario; how an M9 quake in that scenario affects Victoria depends, as noted on page 16 of the report, how far away from Victoria it occurs.

The other two scenarios, an M7 quake on the Leech River fault, or an M7 quake in the Gulf of Georgia, would destroy large parts of the Old Town. However, in other parts of Greater Victoria, while damage would be extreme (broken glass, sewage mains down) it wouldn't be as bad as in the parts of town that I mentioned).

Here is the full report. The 3 scenarios are outlined starting page 16: https://www.slideshare.net/NevinThompson/victoria-bc-2017-seismic-vulnerabilities-assessment-study-vc-structural-dynamics

>I don't blame some people for not rushing to get the vaccine. This thing was created pretty quickly, and we have no idea the long term effects. I have a girl I work with who wants to get pregnant soon, and she is hesitant due to that.

Has your work friend not been paying attention to anything for the past 16 months? There has been an abundance of information provided to the public about fertility not being affected. Here is one resource.

There are reasons for it being developed quickly, none of which have any impact on its safety profile.

I was going to roll the meat flat with a rolling pin then cut them with either four- or five-inch circular cutters that I found on Amazon.

If they're using the Shaw supplied wireless device, well, they produce mediocre results in my experience. If you/your landlord can afford it Netgear Orbi or Google Mesh devices have been providing good results for my coworkers now that they all work from home. Also, cement floors (rebar), metal, microwaves, large fish tanks and improper positioning of wireless access points can reduce range and throughput. As high up the wall and unobstructed is a good start for location. I'm not affiliated - here's the lowest cost 3 pack mesh I've seen in a while https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B08GG9CMLR/

Absolutely stay away from any of the "micro" ones, they use a Peltier style system and they don't work for the most part.

I got one a few years ago on Amazon, shipped for free to my house, I leave it in the basement and put it on the "comfort" setting, it runs when it sees the percentage go above like 55% or something, I empty it every week or two this time of year. If I let it run full time I have to empty it at least once a day (45L tank), so fairly effective I'd say.

It does take power to run, and when it's going full time it puts out a decent amount of heat as well, and it's not super quiet either. I'd say it's around the same level as a basic air purifier, if it was running in a living room or kitchen overnight it'd be fine, you wouldn't be able to hear it from the bedroom probably.

UVic's Computer Science Department had a bunch of boxes of free CS books out in the hall near the departmental office when I was there 2 - 3 weeks back.

There are two classes of computer book -- the kind that is useful for decades, and the kind that is good for one or two years and is then completely out-of-date. If you find a copy of Knuth's "The Art of Computer Programming" from the 1980's or 1990's, that's a keeper. If you find Kernighan and Ritchie's "The C Programming Language", that's also a keeper (as everything in it should still work with a modern C compiler). Pretty much anything else, on the other hand, should be considered junk that is only good for putting in the fireplace and keeping you warm on a long winter night.

I have a shelf filled with this latter type of computer book (and another with the former type as well): Peter Norton's Guide to the PC and PS/2 (Pink Shirt), Using OS/2 2.0, books on Modula-2 and Ada83/95, etc. Too many books on dead OS's and dead languages, or which are so out-of-date as to be useful only as fuel.

Free modern architecture walking tour on Saturday at 1pm.

<em>Gormenghast</em> being put on by prisoners in a minimum-security jail a bit out of town (you might need to rent a car or something to get there).

And whatever Occupy Victoria gets up to this weekend.

I wouldn't have even thought to look on CL. Usedvic either, really, although it's used a bit more than CL here.

There's a facebook group you might try: https://www.facebook.com/groups/7640916254/

We have some folks on our makerspace list who do that kind of thing, worth asking anyway: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/makerspaceca

In either case, I'd suggest giving a bit more detail on what you want done than you did here...

good luck!

I like looking at Windy's air quality filter every once in a while

Should be clear now for the forseeable future (at least until Monday...)

https://www.windy.com/-PM2-5-pm2p5?cams,pm2p5,48.481,-123.317,5

if it's a smartphone (android, iphone, ...) you can usually do it yourself. check out http://blog.iphone-dev.org/ for iphones and http://ready2root.com/ for android. if it's not a Smartphone you might have luck googleing the brand along with "unlock code". Other than that have you tried just walking into the rogers or bell/telus store downtown and straight up asking?

This may or may not fit depending what kind of art you mean, but: http://glasscampus.com/classes/classes_2014CLASSSCHEDULE.htm

https://www.groupon.com/deals/victorian-art-glass-9

Just attended first of two glass sampler classes this week and it was pretty great, looking forward to second class and possibly going in for their drop-in opportunities.

Classes are 7 to 9pm.

To everyone saying this person is imagining things - in my experience (20 so years here) this year was one of the latest the fire ban has been enacted, giving some credence that it wasn't actually a great summer. Also, this graph https://weatherspark.com/history/27840/2016/Victoria-British-Columbia-Canada seems to show a fair chunk that was under historical averages. I'm with you OP, definitely not the best of summers.

Total distance ended up being 13.3km and a total time of just over 3 hrs.Here's a Strava map of the hike.

I am by no means an experienced hiker at all, but this is definitely one of the better hikes I've done on the island.

This is a hike in Gowland Tod park, very close to Durrance Lake. Close to Mt. Work. Difficulty was not as bad as I thought it was going to be. It is a very pleasant hike (not just uphill) trails wind up and down, and it gives you a nice break between each climb. The only real tough part is near the beginning, but if you take your time and pace yourself, you should be good. Here's a map of the hikes in the area.

Total distance ended up being 13.3km and a total time of just over 3 hrs. I don't know if you have heard of Strava, but this was the map of the hike.

Hey there! Sorry to hear you cant go to the show, but it's sweet that you're doing this. Karma will be sweet for you. Favorite thing to do in the city? It's a tough one because I'm born and raised here, so not a lot of the touristy things still hold much sway with me, but if I had to pick one, it would probably be going Geocaching (http://www.geocaching.com/). It's a sweet game of Global hide and seek. I still (after 29 years here) find new places, and one can spend the whole day or 20 minutes doing it. It's fun and gets you outdoors. I hope that you give it a try. Let me know how it goes if you do. Maybe we'll meet up.

BC Patersom has started documenting a lot of the exteriors, but no interiors. If you can shoot inside, and take a shot of the employees, you can help document more of this dying, mostly immigrant owned industry.

You could have googled the answer in less time than it took you to write this post.

Pub: Swans

Club: None

Quiet Hangout: Dallas road in the evening.

Beach: Cole's beach.

Uvic Bunny Colour: crimson

Area of Beacon Hill Park: All of it.

Restaurant: Green cuisine or Floyd's.

Downtown Street: Fisgard. I really love Chinatown

Crazy Experience: I was driving to the boardwalk in Sooke for the first time and I drove to the end of this road. There were no signs to suggest that it drops off very steeply, switches to gravel and is a dead end. I drove off the end at about 40kmh in a Mini Cooper. Damn near died.

Might not quite be what you’re looking for, but dashi stock is pretty readily available at any fairways. They also have it at Fujiya. It’s Japanese fish stock made from kombu (kelp) and bonito flakes (smoked skipjack tuna flakes).

The product is called Hondashi and it looks like this.

Amazon TBH.

I don't know what the differences are, but I have the previous version of this one: https://www.amazon.ca/VIOFO-A119S-Camera-Logger-Latest/dp/B01MFAK888/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1532831966&amp;sr=8-3&amp;keywords=viofo

Works great, especially for the price. As with any dash cam make sure you spend the money on a QUALITY SD card that is designed to handle recording video over and over again. A cheap one or one not designed for that will wear out and be useless.

The frogs are really loud at my place too (rural Saanich). You could use "Chorus Frogs" on this app to drown out the frog chorus outside.

Let me guess, you went through MedPro or one of the other local sleep clinics?

Their prices reflect that they expect people to have medical coverage. You can get the exact same machines from Amazon for less than 1/2 the price: https://www.amazon.ca/AirSense-Autoset-HumidAir-ClimateLineAir-Tube/dp/B0BGLQVQNT/ref=sr_1_14?crid=2TKY2V41FUTGP&amp;keywords=resmed&amp;qid=1668795081&amp;qu=eyJxc2MiOiI2LjcyIiwicXNhIjoiNS45NiIsInFzcCI6IjUuNDAifQ%3D%3D&amp;sprefix=resme%2Caps%2C3...

I'm surprised blue cross doesn't cover it, I have blue cross and it covered mine 100%. Must just be the plan you're on.

There's one right opposite Uptown (map).

This has some advice about the Harborview road access which I think I will try next

Otherwise you can follow the Tod Creek trail leading towards Empress Mountain from the Goose and you will see the pipe as you get a bit into the forest

These snap traps with a dab of peanut butter are ideal. Dead mice are easily dropped into the garbage without touching them.

Your best bet is to buy Santa Cruz apple juice and some mulling spices and make your own. The apple juice can usually be found at Thrifties, Market on Yates, health food stores, and Pepper's.

I didn't find it last year but previous years I've also found North coast brand (I think at Pepper's)

N100 respirators come either with a filtered or an unfiltered exhalation valve. Unfiltered outgoing air not an issue as long as you recognize the the public is not protected from you if you are contagious.

For indoors I have a Coway air purifier which I am very happy with. If the air gets bad here on peninsula the red light goes on and I close the windows.

check out the following link, it will explain how to read the analyzer and see what its like locally, you would be surprised!

http://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-optimize-your-wi-fi-network-with-wifi-analyzer/

you can get a wifi extender, but 300m might be a bit far (depends what obstacles lay between you and the farm). You could try to run a combination of good quality ethernet cables (Cat6), with weatherproofing, and a POE extender, and that might just do it. Another solution (a bit more expensive, and a bit of an overkill) is to run a fibre optic cable with a converter at each end.

It is possible that a nearby car has a one of those bluetooth/FM transmitter devices for sending phone audio to an older stereo.

Example:

Definitely shop around - Amazon has 3 for $2.76. (I haven't checked my local Costco yet but that's where I normally get a bunch of my kids school supplies from.)

Good thing we have checks notes an entire municipality that has not approved new rentals in in close to a decade.

Works like a charm! Had to have some rewiring done when rats chewed through my washer fluid wiring. Got these for our cars and no more rats under the hood!

Jeez. I don't know about in town. You could try calling one of our foo foo restaurants and see if they would sell you some. Or you can buy from the dreaded evil Amazon. https://www.amazon.ca/Methylcellulose-Methocel%C2%AE-Molecular-Gastronomy-Misc/dp/B00CZCY480

your kids will be under 6 by the time you get to use them, but its a great price

Might not be what you are looking for but I've been ordering this off Amazon for years now (Numi Organic Tea Aged Earl Grey): https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00G9NQXZS

I've apparently purchased it 15 times.

Okay but now I want this one duckana

I used these, and they are pretty good.

The hook part helps lock the earplug in place, and sort of applies pressure to help keep noise out.

I also tried these one, but they were hit-and-miss.

Sometimes they are great, but other times they are sticky and don’t reform to their natural shape after use.

I got this

If you're only driving it a few times a year, you might want to just ignore the problem, and install a battery disconnect switch to unhook the battery when it's not in use.

Something like this: https://www.amazon.ca/Battery-Disconnect-Switch-Ampper-Isolator/dp/B07JZ8MKL2?th=1

You know what’s better than deflating the tires? Removing the schrader core. Without the core the tire won’t hold the air even if they had an inflator.

Or you can make it at home. All you need is a rice cooker, some chicken, and this. You can find the pasta at Walmart/fairway....

You can get lock-picking tools and training locks on Amazon for about $20.

Not only will you learn a new trade, you will never worry about losing your keys again.

Get a wheel cover and carry it in. Once covered it's no differently than moving any other object thru the common areas.
