I went there last night for their Monday special of nachos and a beer for $12.95

The nachos were meh, but the Red Truck lager was good. It's a local brewery on E 1st sorta near the Science Center.

It's a dive bar, but the regulars say the burgers are good.

    When I was younger, I would have taken the free ride.

    Now that I understand how public transit is funded, and perpetually underfunded, I am happy to pay for it, and use it whenever I can.

    P.s. I'm writing this on a T bus.

    Oh no 😄

    I guess it does sound weird for those who haven't been there. For context, the Vancouver Aquarium has an Amazon exhibit.

    A rainforest inside an aquarium. Take a break from the temperate climate of British Columbia’s west coast and immerse yourself in the humidity and heat of one of the biggest ecosystems in the world. Watch for scarlet ibises overhead, catch a glimpse of the well-camouflaged sloths, and experience a thunderstorm. The Graham Amazon Gallery has plenty to see and do.

    I'm with Novus. They're small and only service specific apartment buildings, but I have fiber speeds for the same price I used to pay for Teksavvy (who I also liked, but they don't offer fiber)

    potentially deadly.

    It's actually 100% deadly if you don't get treatment pretty quickly. First stage takes 2-10 days, that's how long you have for treatment before phase two symptoms start, and once you're there, you're pretty much guaranteed to die horribly.

    He said a number of people were looking into the bushes nearby, and that's when he saw the animal, which looked lethargic and confused.

    "I just started talking to the skunk because I'm an animal person. I like to do that," Haché said.

    "I was saying, 'Hi, buddy, how you doing?' And the skunk looked up at me, and turned toward me, and it walked on to the sidewalk and it bit my leg and then it bit my shoe."

    Isnt most people's reaction to seeing a skunk in a bush to just get some distance? Also any wild amimal that was acting weird would be giving me alarm bells, maybe thats just hindsight but animals can carry diseases don't you know!
