Damn, fasteners are expensive nowadays. I'll head down there and clean them up for free!

I do think that some kind of micro-apartments make sense for Vancouver, as long as the density problems can be solved.

Vancouver has a reputation of "no fun city", so why should it be any different here? /s

From the image it does look like a 15-pin vga cable, which would have been an uncommon thing to require gender bending. It was a lot more common for DB9 and DB15 serial ports.

I probably still have boxes of such things somewhere. Yeah, back in the 1990's we had all kinds of not-politically-correct nicknames for various cables and adapters.

Unions are necessary to balance out greedy/corrupt employers, and scabs are necessary to balance out greedy/corrupt unions.

Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.

Caught some sun at Crescent Beach near White Rock BC.

Vancouver has a couple good beaches; my plan is to work on my tan.

As predictable as the tide's ebb and flow is new White Rock restaurants opening and failed White Rock restaurants closing. I understand the obvious reasons why some businesses fail: too much competition, high rent, lack of customers during winter or bad weather, razor-thin margins.

But there's a couple White Rock businesses that seem to be stillborn and I'm curious why:

  • Seed and Stone (a weed shop on west beach) had their sign on a store for months and months, but it never opened. The sign recently disappeared.
  • Chef Tian's (east beach) has had a big sign on the the building for a year, but has never opened.

I'm presuming that both businesses spent money on a lease and spent money putting up signs, so I'm curious what prevented them from opening.
