I’ll do the same for Obsideon as well. I usually let my clients pick the spot but think I will choose to support some RS brethren after enduring so much. After all, I take care of the bill at the end of the evening.

If anyone else here is a restaurateur not working for a chain, hit me up :thumbsup:

Decided to take a client to westo’s for lunch today. Nice spot. Lovely scenery out today :ifyouknow:

The chicken fried oyster mushrooms were ridiculous. Everything else we tried was very good as well. I’ll be back :thumbsup:

Nope! I almost crashed maybe 4-5 times today rubbernecking. It’s been a long time since I’ve been downtown. I guess I’ll have to make up for lost time! BrokeBack

Oh crap now I feel pressure cuz I'm definitely not in Westopher's league haha :alone:

Suggestions on how to replace this flat roof?

Looked at some DIY videos where people would remove the existing material, clean the surface, lay on primer, put down the sheets of roofing, and then lay on a sealant layer.

if i was trying to DIY myself i'd probably look at some roll on weatherproof deck sealant if i was lazy, or maybe deck membrane or similar material to what is existing, like a roll on asphalt and if it's sloped try to do positive lap.

my old house had a HUGE carport deck and we redid the decking membrane. hired someone to do it b/c i have office hands :lol. It kept quite well, the guy did a good job sealing the sheets he rolled on.

wonder what happened... poor baby...
what car is this? McLaren?

An 11-month-old infant is dead and their father injured after a two-car collision in downtown Vancouver on Tuesday night.

Both were pedestrians near Hornby and Smithe streets when one of the vehicles struck them. The father, 31, was taken to hospital. His injuries are unknown at this time.

A family's decision to cross state lines with marijuana led to their child being taken…
Trackerdslogo
Photos from the scene posted online show a dark SUV on the sidewalk and a dark supercar with significant damage.

The suspect, a driver, was taken to hospital as well, Vancouver police said.

The investigation is ongoing.

Honestly, I'm horrified about this being an 11-month old baby losing their life. Gutted.

The rumours I have heard are that the McLaren was on a D-plate and that it was T-Boned by a Ford Explorer that supposedly ran a red.

I'm puzzled that there are no photos of this Explorer circulating though.

Gotta love the media. Let's take a picture of the McLaren, provide zero details, and incite anger!!!

Here's a video of the Ford that supposedly ran a red and was DUI. It is not clear if the Ford hit the pedestrians or if it was the McLaren. Note that the Ford is on the sidewalk.

Edit: clearer video with zero facts reporting https://twitter.com/BobbieBees/statu...746929667?s=20

Reddit is as reliable as a source as Revscene, but attached are an excerpt regarding eyewitness reports.

I’m disgusted by the fact that photos of the McLaren are front and centre, whereas photos of the SUV and details of the incident are buried. The public opinion on this incident has been decided already, just like that SUV and Silver Lamborghini incident on the S2S highway in September 2020. :flamemad:

I'm saying it's not. But clearly do your due diligence and look into it rather than taking everything at face value

It was 1am lol

Just thought I'd change things up a bit..........

https://www.popularmechanics.com/mil...rm-tiger-tank/

Man finding ways to kill each other in all kinds of ways. Did not know North Korea was one of the poorest countries on the planet. No wAnder, when they put the military above all else. A whole new level of stupidity.

This, of course, is the #1 complaint of anti-vaxxers and conspiracy theorists regarding mainstream media and how they distort truth and reality. "You only show one side of the story, the side that gets the most attention and reaction".

PeanutButter 07-07-2021 09:25 AM

This is why i'm so paranoid whenever we're walking with our little guy in the stroller.

These idiots driving and driving under the influence as well.. Man. That family will never be the same.

I never tell my wife about news involving children, it's too devastating for her.

Because that’s what they do? Lol

Even the CBC a publicly funded organization has built in bias. Global news again this morning kept flashing pics of them Mclaren, no pics of the Ford, and kept mentioning speed, speed speed! FailFish

whitev70r 07-07-2021 10:46 AM

^ Except for the conspiracy theorists, their version of the story is a bunch of 'what if's' that is not based on data, science or thoughtful reasoning.

Using the above McLaren incident, they would offer points of view like:
1. The child didn't die or, child didn't die of collision.
2. It was the father's fault.
3. Could it be that the mother engineered all this because of some nefarious reason?
4. etc.

StylinRed 07-07-2021 11:46 AM

Naw that's not really true... That's just how conspiracists are portrayed due to fear of losing audience members to the "conspiracy wing" obviously extreme cases would exist that would fit the stereotype (CiC), a lot dont, but they'll get lumped in as well

Careful if you're going to Stanley Park anytime soon, 3 people sent to hospital after Coyote attack: https://theprovince.com/news/three-p...box=1625687770

Didn't realize coyotes would be so forward with attacking humans.
