I see you’re from Iowa so probably not familiar with a lot of our news. Here are a few links to recent land and governance transfers, and modern treaties in BC. As I live here these are the ones I know about, there are probably more in other provinces. While there is still so much to be done, these are excellent starts. Cheers

I loved that movie so much! It’s been a while, should watch it again.
Victoria BC, and surrounding areas. The Sooke reservoir has some of the best water in the world!
Styx, black (named after one of Plutos moons, not the 80s band)
Diesel, orange (named in memory of my friends cat)
Together they are Dieselbub and the Prince of Darkness. They are brothers from the same litter and we love them very much.
Edit: Gah! I just went upstairs and they’re being adorable
It is paranoid, but honestly, I’ve thought the same. I don’t think I’ll be going anywhere for awhile in any case, except maybe Greenland! Always wanted to go there.
Absolutely you can. I can get a direct flight from Vancouver Island to Mexico, but usually transfer in Van. I’ve seen direct flights from Calgary as well.
Let me give you this good advice, I’m not using it.
Same! They make me giggle.
Same! That and rocks.
The marine service industry has a higher than average amount of neurodivergent folk in it. I figure it’s because every day is different and you absolutely have to be able to be creative in your thinking, boats are weird like that.
The instructor I have teaching at this exact moment was a red seal chef, he’s now a red seal welder, teaching first year apprentices metalwork. Sometimes you just need a change.
Thanks, that was my question. I use betterbird and wasn’t sure if this had anything to do with it.
That is really cool. At first when it scrolled by I thought it was pastels. The contrast between the diamonds and the colours made me take a closer look, and then finding out you invented an anodizing process to make this blew my mind! I look forward to seeing more. Good luck with your patent!
Thank you for the recommendation on Quboz!
Thank you! Hope the shipping isn’t too terrible out to bc though.
Hi there! I’m a Canadian but grew up around Maryland, came back to Canada about 25 years ago. Vancouver island and the coast in general is really expensive, and there’s no rentals unfortunately. Personally I don’t think people here are opposed to newcomers, it’s just the squeeze on the already strapped housing that’s pisses people off. We’ve had decades of rich folks (from all areas) buying summer homes and taking away places for people to live. That being said, if you’re a good person, and you seem to be from your responses, people will see that.
One place I haven’t seen mentioned is Smithers. I really like that town! Super cute, has a brewery and all the stores downtown actually have businesses in them. Added plus of a ski hill you can see from downtown. Not ridiculously expensive either, for bc. Will get cold in the winter, obvs, but I saw you lived in Vermont so nothing you can’t handle. Also shout out for Vermont! I spent my summers there as a kid, miss it something fierce. Personally I love Fernie but it’s just as expensive as Victoria since it’s Calgarys Whistler. If you are really keen on the coast Powell river is good, also Campbell River and Port MacNeil. All three would be places I’d move.
I’m not in the tech field at all so can’t help with that part but pm me if you have any questions about the coast or stuff like that. Good luck friend, may we all get through this.
I have the exact same thing, I also have a hard time with sarcasm unless it’s very obvious or over exaggerated. Basically my brain just thinks why would someone lie to me? I’m always willing to help out someone or listen to their stories, there’s no need to lie or embellish. And that’s a good thing! I’m willing to take what people say at face value because I do believe in the goodness of humans (though that’s definitely being put to the test lately…).
You’ll do just fine in life! If you’re ever unsure, ask someone you trust to verify or give their thoughts on what you’ve heard (I do this all the time!). And if you have a friend that always embellishes or tells fibs then have that mental check on what they say. In the end it says more about them needing to do that than you taking them at face value. And if the things they say are hurtful, can harm others, or they do it just to mess with you, then it’s time to reevaluate having them as a friend.
You’re not slow at all, your brain just works differently, same as mine, same as lots of other people. I don’t know how old you are (I’m guessing younger than my mid forties) but as you get older you’ll figure out ways to parse these things better. Please don’t take your way of seeing things as being slow or stupid, you’re absolutely not, and this isn’t going to hold you back in any way. Good luck with all this, it can definitely be challenging, but you’re going to be a-ok.
A Redtails Dream!! Absolute gorgeous artwork and the story is lovely too. Added bonus is it’s finished too! Finnish artist, and the story is infused with folktales from there.
I read her comic from before this one, A Redtails Dream, it’s one of the most beautiful comics I’ve ever seen. When it was done and she published it I’ve never thrown money at something so fast.
Interesting life path for her, I hope it brings her what she needs.
I just checked and the comic is still up!! Highly recommend!
I’ll second Vivaldi! There’s no other browser with that kind of tab and workspace management. It’s how my brain works. The mobile app is great too with tab groups and the sync between the two is fast. I keep Librewolf on my laptop as well for the odd website that only likes FF.
