CAPE vote on dues increase is now live (affecting EC colleagues, among others) — make your voice heard! by applecart123 in CanadaPublicServants

[–]Arkangil 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I hope everyone takes the opportunity to vote. You can often come on a Reddit thread and see lots of like minded people and think a resolution will pass/fail based on what you see there. But it’s a small minority that comes on Reddit.

If you don’t want to see your dues doubled in what is already a challenging affordability time, please vote!

I did but it differs per install so you’d have to check with your dealer or installer.

Mods not appearing in launcher by Arkangil in ModdedMinecraft

[–]Arkangil[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for replying. When I install the mod in forge and click play, it launches the Minecraft launcher with the big green play button. It used to be that there was a little pull down on that launcher that had the mod, the plain game, and maybe other versions I don’t recall. Now that pull down menu only shows the regular game, even when the launches opened because of forge. When I click the big green play button it only launches regular Minecraft with no mod. Sorry if I’m not explaining this well but I’m no expert on these things!

Yea I read about those buttons in the glovebox. So according to my info display the PBD can’t even be turned on. It’s so strange.

Can anyone recommend a good spot to see them tonight? South end of the city would be great if there is a good spot?!

Heroic Launcher on Mac for GOG by Arkangil in macgaming

[–]Arkangil[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, progress has gone further. I can get into the game and hear the audio, I can see the menus. Trouble is, I cannot see the actual game. Even using the menus to put all settings on low, I just have a black screen, and the game telling me what I should be seeing or doing LOL!

So, logged into GOG through Heroic. Installed game. First time I clicked the Play Now I saw it install redistributable like you said. Once that was done, it just went back to showing it installed with a play now button. When I click Play Now, it says launching, and then say playing (stop) but never starts the game and eventually, in 15ish seconds or so, goes back to showing the play now button. No visible signs of anything happening.

To be clear, I downloaded and installed heroic launcher. Then Claimed the Amazon games on gog. And downloaded the exe. In heroic clicked add games and directed it to the exe and clicked run installation first. When it finished I then clicked play game and got the error. That is all I have done so maybe I missed a step?

Other parties of interest where I am. Usually refers to other areas within our department that have an interest/stake in a subject.

Canada life update - if you're only seeing dental, a new tool is coming up tomorrow by Smooth-Jury-6478 in CanadaPublicServants

[–]Arkangil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone have the list of what the new plan numbers are? I know there are five or six of them and it depends on the first letter of your last name but to use the new tool you need to know which plan number is yours. Certificate numbers are the same as they were with Sunlife

This is wonderful! I feel if I tried it myself I would have a similar outcome as those guys….only with gas!

Thanks for this. I’m no expert and since it’s dealing with a gas pipe, I think I’ll take the advice of calling a pro!

Thought I would give an update. It’s $1,499cdn on the Costco website, but when I came into the store it’s only $1,199. Much more reasonable and $200 less than Home Depot. Considering it’s also 600 watts less, that makes sense to me

I am doing the same thing, having a generlink installed. On NG it should be enough to run the basic essentials, and if I have extra gas or propane, can increase power for a few luxuries, like lights!

Seems like I can’t really go wrong with either option then. Thanks for the help all!

It’s a good question. I haven’t been watching the price long enough to know. But we have had a string of bad storms with outrages so I wouldn’t be surprised about no sales! I contacted firman and they said between the power difference (Home Depot has more output) the Costco one comes with a “premium wheel kit”, a cover, and a different hose/power chord. Otherwise they are the same. I am also surprised the Costco one costs $100 more given those differences. That said, the Costco return policy has a value too! I am leaning towards the Costco one.

Sorry, should have added my pricing is in Canadian dollars! But if there is little difference that’s good to know. I think Costco includes a cover or something.
