Anyone dealt with City of Burnaby engineering re: basement flooding?

Bathroom flooding has been an ongoing problem for us during heavy rains and during recent rain after dry spells. Our landlords have spent $2000+ on three plumbers. It got really bad today so I called the city, and they're sending someone over.

Anyone dealt with this? What do they actually do to address it? And what info can I get from them about reimbursement or whatever needs to happen?

$120 at Burnaby No Frills

Good sales for the run up to July 1. Especially the $1.50 name brand 2L sodas.

Edit: also forgot to photo, I grabbed one of the $10 rotisserie chickens. I know they’re a better price at Costco but I find the texture really mushy so I don’t mind eating the $3.

Request to Verified Pro & WGA Writers - on career gains on reddit

Reddit admin reached out to the mod team for some insight in preparation for an upcoming article that will be published sometime after next week. They asked us to reach out to anyone whose experience and contribution to this subreddit may have helped their Hollywood career.

This is, as you've guessed, interest resulting from the success of Backrooms. I've offered some explanation about where screenwriting realistically falls in that chain of events, but I also wanted to get any commentary from the pro/union folks here who may have seen some traction based on their engagement here. That includes any kind of engagement, so long as it originated or was supported by Reddit.

We're keeping this exclusively to pro writers because the whole point is to demonstrate a certain baseline of accomplishment. I think, realistically, we're going to see some pretty small numbers. The discussion around Kane Parsons is certainly interesting to independent creators, but nosleep has its own milieu, and being a writer-director offers different kinds of visibility to Hollywood than posting scripts here.

Folks who have been given verified Produced Screenwriter or WGA Screenwriter flairs by the mod team should write in to modmail with anything they'd like to contribute. If you are a pro writer and you haven't been flaired by the mod team, you can check out the pro flair guide. Personalized verified flairs (u/realname [real name]) may also contact us, as long as we've granted their flair and have a record of it.

If we don't have a record of having flaired you (or your flair is self-applied) please refrain. We're trying very much to stick to what's relevant and accurate, and not get bogged down with hype, so we need to keep the discussion to concrete results.

Please be aware that you're giving us permission to discuss what you share with a reporter. Any experiences at all that you feel helped you get traction and contributed to your achievements are helpful for this discussion. Thanks!

how do I get this AI summary out of my post comments

https://i.gyazo.com/9145c9d3f0c76627b916914981bd7a7e.png

And if there isn't a way, there needs to be. This is antithetical to the spirt of my community, and to the whole concept of asking humans for help. Reddit has no business aggregating "advice", privileging brand names, or making commentary of any kind on products being described by users in my community.

Bats over lost lagoon

Happened on this completely by accident. Probably a good idea to wear long sleeves and pants if you go out to see them because mosquitos and bat rabies.

Just noting some errors, failure to load the pages, page "missing" etc. Also I made a small adjustment because I noticed it was showing the last editor as "deleted user". But the last editor was me. I updated it, now it's last updated by deleted user one minutes ago.

I don't know if this is a site wide thing but I thought I'd bring it up. Because if I need to do an offsite wiki archive then I'm gonna need to schedule some time for that.
