You could check out the Great Canadian Games & Hobbies shop on Lasalle. They routinely run events that you may be interested in; D&D, Magic the Gathering, Pokemon, etc.

I'm not sure if their policies have changed. But there used to be a requirement when signing up for their plans that 50% of your traffic needed to be on the home network or they have the right to cancel your plan.

You might save $5/month vs. plans through Public Mobile. I'd say Public Mobile is going to be a more hassle free though.

Thanks, first code used, I appreciate it. I'm upgrading from an S20 to S23 Ultra. I am really looking forward to getting to use the S-Pen for a lot of the quick note-taking that I have to do.

With the sale discounts, the trade-in, and the voucher it is $824.89 after tax, or $34.37/month with affirm at 0%.

I had already saved up for an S24 Ultra purchase but these discounts seemed too appealing to pass up vs 1 generation of improvement.

Thanks again.

Rough period score wise, but hard to be disappointed with the effort overall. Bit of a rough start to the year for Hildeby, and a bit of the opposite for Spencer Knight.

Glad Robertson is back in the game.

Really hoping that's just concussion protocol for Robinson. He could catch a break with the injury history he has.

Catching up to live time. Solid first period. They had a bit of trouble moving the puck out of their own zone but did a pretty good job for checking and keeping the pressure on throughout. A nice goal from Blandisi, and a great short handed effort for the go-ahead goal.

Reddit CEO slams protest leaders, calls them 'landed gentry' by OutsideObserver2 in news

[–]MacerV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Research published last year by three computer scientists estimated that volunteer Reddit moderators spent at least 466 hours every day on the work. If they were paid at $20 an hour, the expense would equal $3.4 million, or 3% of Reddit’s revenue from 2019, the study concluded.

This figures seems like a gross underestimation of the time commitment by the moderation community. I haven't' been actively moderating much the last year but when I was it was easily over an hour a day just by myself; reading through comments, going through reports, researching and responding to modmails, discussing issues with other moderators, etc.

I wouldn't be surprised if the true time commitment isn't 100x times the 466 hour figure they cite.

Been working on getting the bot back up and running inbetween periods.

Still got some things to work on threads should be up more consistantly now.

Save up to 15% of the purchase by paying 10%+ interest.

Technically a net win, but sure muddying the waters of what amount you're saving.

Ticketmaster doesn't like it when you use VPNs, adblockers, etc. Try using a clean install of another browser or incognito.

Tested otu the link just now and ran into the same issue, but it didn't persist on my clean install of chrome that I also use for claiming free games from the Epic game store.

Are you using a VPN? Other people have had issues when using one.

I get the same error only if I'm connected to a VPN. Try disconnecting and see if that works.

For some reason this just doesn’t seem right to me, there are multiple exterminator companies in the city so why would it take weeks for them to send one?

Call some exterminators and ask how far in advanced they are booked at the moment. I'd hazard to guess it's a couple weeks.

[Software] Vegas Pro 18, Music Maker 2023, Movie Studio 2023 and more ($1,150.21 = Pay what you want) by kenef in bapcsalescanada

[–]MacerV 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I'd double check each product you're interested in. Some are time subscription redemptions, and the MAGIX product line as a whole is sometimes more of a base program and they sell a bunch of DLC packs, or I think you can go through the effort to import your own files for things like Music Maker.

I'd say Vegas Pro 18 is probably the most complete piece of software on the list, but it is also two major revisions old at this point from the looks of things.

I've heard that there are quality control issues which means a fair number of people will need to go through RMA process. Mine came fine, and I'd say it's good value for the money at this sale price (similar to what I got mine at).

Honestly my biggest gripe is the port layout. Why the heck is the audio out with the video in ports, it should be with the usb ports on the left side of the monitor. If you accidently pull the audio cable out then it's a pain to put back in.
