I am on a bus and a family of tourists just kept offering the bus driver higher amounts of money to avoid the route and take them straight to fisherman’s wharf.
I’m kinda dying laughing at how fucking crazy that was.

So what happened on the highway yesterday? These days the police don't seem to release much information. Chek has one picture of the aftermath. Any dashcam video? Anybody see what happened? Where on the highway did the pileup occur?

Seems like it was a big one. Worst traffic of the year?

I'm a 31y/o who currently works in the collapsing gaming industry and I'm interested in reskilling to a trade.

I'm curious
- What is your trade?
- Is it in high demand?
- How does it pay? (Exact figures please)

Things I'm interested in
- Electrician
- Welding
- Equipment operation
- Millwright
- CNC applications
- Plumbing, but I'd really only do this for good money
- HVAC (I don't know anything about this. what's the work like?)

Things I'm not interested in
- Carpentry (I failed Construction 10)
- Cooking (I've been back of house and I'll never do it again)

My aunt just moved into long-term care and we have a freezer full of frozen meals from Walmart… I live up island so don’t want to transport them up with me. Is there anywhere that will accept donations of perishables?

Also open to an individual who would like them! We have pasta dishes, fried rice, cabbage rolls, scallop, potatoes, etc. Also have some non-perishables canned goods.

Thanks in advance!

edit: thank you all so much for the recommendations and well wishes! I think I’ll sort this next week when I have a bit more time to set up :)

Look I don't know why, but recently there has been a large increase in people I've had to deny buying liquor, because they just don't carry their ID. And it almost exclusively men in the early to mid 20s range

Its not a lot, just put your driver's license or something in your wallet, and it will all be fine

Just signed in to Used Victoria to upload my first ad in several months (we did a lot of downsizing, but been quiet for about 6 mos now), and it seems there is no truly "free" ad to be placed. Everything (7-day, 14-day and 30-day) says "starts at free" but then upsells users to buy an enhanced ad of some sort, which of course involves money. There does not seem to be a button you can click which says "I'm cool with my current choice" and move on, you simply must upgrade or their servers blow you back to the beginning!

I guess I'm off to M-place.. Too bad, met some nice folks on Used Vic and sold some pretty good stuff reasonably cheap.

Anybody else finding Used Vic blockaded behind a paywall?

My uncle and I are both into whiskey and id like to treat him while he is here, im wondering if anyone has gone here recently and can tell me how it is price wise and overrall experience compared to other places, if anyone has a picture of the menu recently a picture would be very appreciated l, thanks
