And more seriously it’s from this report:

Though it would be bleakly funny if Mayor Vibes says that he’s getting rid of the Vancouver Charter.

One bit of good news in a sea of postponements by the city of Vancouver is this:

"Staff have conclusively determined that under the Vancouver Charter, Bitcoin is not an allowable investment asset for the City, and therefore recommends that this work be concluded"

Me neither from roughly the same place.

The real BC time change question is, …takes deep breath, can the Gastown steam clock handle it? 🤔

A picture of the vanshittytv x account show it is suspended

Looks like it’s suspended now

One might remember London Drugs getting hacked not that long ago. Today they have given me a $5 dollar birthday voucher in their rewards program. I checked in my profile and my much later birthday is correctly listed so that sorta explains why I still don't shop there much.

St Paul’s does other procedures. I’ve been to so many Jane’s walks where comfortably housed older West End residents basically want to pull up the residential drawbridge and that’s gross. It’s also tired to sneer about things being “luxury”.

St Paul’s is moving about 3KM so not that far. And “think” is doing a lot of work. I guess folks getting treatment can’t get near a park.

But could be for folks or families with medical issue in hospitals.

I stoically agree.

Made pasta sauce from scratch and the secret ingredient was puréeing everything in a Vitamix. Finally got a smooth coating on the pasta.

I love my (up to) 10 cup zojirushi.

Can’t be sad today, the NLD finished 4-1 to the Arse.

I like OC for a few reasons and the primary one is that they’re the party who most gets that a lot of regional folks would like to live in Vancouver.

I’m digging at the utter babies crying about OC bullying the poor old smol greens and cope.

But I guess since October is a ways away normies aren’t a part of this. If I was a Green or COPE person I’d be slightly worried about how they are doing.

I love all the folks trying to still twist their sad little knives after One City says they’re continuing to talk to the other parties. OC has competitive races for all their positions and didn’t coronate anyone.

@rhifaux.bsky.social I’m so sorry to hear you were hit by a driver. I hope you can rest and recover.

I really enjoyed Nirvana The Band The Show The Movie. At its core it’s a story about long lasting friendships plus time travel and parachutes.

Classic ABC - Mayor Vibes
New ABC - most of the splitters from above

It’s a bold choice to turn Peter Parker into Peter Porker in the upcoming Spider Man movie but I think Tom Holland has the range.

Microsoft's new 10,000-year data storage medium: glass Femtosecond lasers etch data into a very stable medium.

This looks goo- wait is that Stone Cold's music I hear?

Yeah ABC (but better we pinky promise) isn't that great.

Homeowners Refuse to Accept the Awkward Truth: They’re Rich | The Walrus Owners of multi-million-dollar properties still see themselves as middle class, a warped self-image that has a big impact on renters

ooh, B.C. is raising taxes on homes worth over $3 million, as well as the interest rates on property tax deferrals — two changes sure to aggravate many homeowners! time to ring the bell again: thewalrus.ca/homeowners-r...

Vancouver Greens decline proposal for progressive primary Vancouver Greens mayoral candidate Pete Fry says he won't participate in a proposal by OneCity to hold a "progressive primary" ahead of this year's election.

A shame as I was looking forward to Pete's contribution to the progressive primary: no private gym in City Hall! no bikes on Commercial Drive! Someone somewhere to pay for some co-op housing! Vancouver to enjoy stability under the mild sway of the Fry dynasty!

New municipal population projections out today to match the updated estimates. So no more gaps between estimates and projections. Updated projections have the City of Vancouver not rebounding to 2024 population levels until well after 2050, more details on why that’s unrealistic two quotes down.

I love cast iron Le Creusets. I also like their stainless line but these days Made In is also good for stainless.

The Daily Hive boldly has come out against waterfront schools.

So today OpenAI discontinued ChatGPT 4o, the model known for being weirdly affirming and telling people that they’re religious figures and to kill and what not. This has greatly upset the community who has used 4o’s affirming nature to do AI romances, who are now mourning the death of their partners
