Erica Jane AI slop

With menu prices this high, I think it would be worth putting money toward a photographer to take pictures of the ACTUAL food at your restaurant. This cursed beef Wellington image is haunting. Not to mention objectively unappetizing in every way.

Kelowna-Mission NDP candidate?

I see it is Miriam Rycroft but there's near zero information on her. Anyone know anything about her? Not even a picture on NDP website or any info on linkedin or elsewhere

Fort Knox???

Anybody know the story behind what the city has been building in the center median on Highway 97 near Cooper. The infrastructure looks like overkill for the 3 trees they have planted in it. I'm assuming it must have another purpose.

Any cosplayers that wanna work with a learning photographer for free?

Hi I'm an 18yr old photographer that has a couple of years of practice and learning. I love doing portraits and I had gone to the kelowna comicon this year with my camera and I absolutely loved it, I just wish I had more courage to ask more people. If you're a cosplayer and you're interested in meeting up sometime for a free photoshoot please lmk!! I don't go on reddit that much but I'll be trying to check back often. Maybe if your around my age I'll make some new friends as well :)

PSA...

I'm a pretty defensive driver but I pretty regularly get honked at turning left BC drivers don't know there are two lanes or they don't care I guess..

What will convince drivers to take the correct action?

I feel bad saying repainting the lines won't have an effect..

Lived here a long time. Problem only seems to get worse as time passes.

Independent guide to where all 40 Kelowna mayor and council candidates stand

With 37 people running for council and 3 for mayor, it's hard to know who actually stands where. So I put together a guide that shows where each candidate stands on five local issues:

  • Taxes and spending
  • Growth and density
  • Homelessness, addiction and public safety
  • Police and bylaw presence
  • Transportation

https://kelownacompass.pages.dev

Placements are based on council votes, platforms, forum coverage and published questionnaires, and every one links to its sources so you can check it yourself. Each placement is also marked strong, some or thin evidence, so you can see how much it rests on.

There's also an optional 20-question quiz that shows which candidates are closest to your answers, a page on other issues in the race (council pay, the performing arts centre, short-term rentals and more), and the basics on how and where to vote.

A few things to know:

  • It's an unpaid volunteer project. No ads, no tracking, no cookies, and no connection to any candidate, slate, party or the City.
  • Research and drafting were done with help from an AI assistant and reviewed by me. That's why every placement links to its sources.
  • It's a guide, not a recommendation. Placements are judgment calls made under written rules, and the Method tab explains how they're made and what the limits are.
  • It's checked daily for new candidate statements and coverage until election day.

Spot an error or know of a public source I missed? Comment here with a link and I'll review it. Off Reddit, there's also a form on the site. Every correction is checked against the same rules, and any change is dated on the site.

Advance voting runs Oct 7 to 16, and general voting day is Saturday, Oct 17.

49M considering local CrossFit recommendations for the 40s/50s crowd?

Former long-time gym rat who burnt out on standard commercial gyms (Global, YMCA, etc.). I did hot yoga and TRX for a while, but work and life got in the way. And cost to be real. At that time, I couldn't afford the monthly expense. So I quit. That was 10 or more years ago.

I’m 49(M) turning 50 next year and looking to get back into a fitness routine. No, not a mid-life crisis. I’ve come to realize fitness has always been 'my thing' - I’ve just spent years running from it, struggling to find something else when the answer was right in front of me the whole time.

A buddy suggested CrossFit, and while I used to be skeptical of it, I'm ready to give it a shot.

Looking for recommendations from anyone in the Kelowna area, especially the 40s/50s crowd:

* Any places to avoid if you aren't looking for hyper-competitive, 20/30s something energy?

* Have a solid, supportive vibe with good coaching on technique & injury prevention?

Starting over is a bit intimidating, so any honest input would be appreciated. Thanks in kind.
