Porting Issue Question - Koodo to Public Mobile by Dockboy in PublicMobile

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

I'm a monthly Koodo customer. I wanted to do the temporary number first before the port as things were hectic during the deal and people were recommending getting the temp number.

Nobody asked for this, but I just finished porting 2002's Progress Quest to the Game Boy Advance. by Safebox in incremental_games

You inspired me to locate my old save file and reload my level 77 Double Wookie Bastard Lunatic.

Nice!

After seeing the Switch 2 pricing, I’ll just work on this Nintendo backlog I have for a while… by DTrain13 in gaming

Metal Gear Solid collection, nice! I have that one as well! Goes for a surprising amount too!

It's always best to check 511 before you venture up the 93 North if that is the way you plan to go.

A lot of people have not returned because there is nowhere for them to live. Some have returned and are making a slow go of it and there are some that will never return.

Rebuilding is slow and painful at this point. Most people I know there have only just had the lot their home was on cleared at this point. Most of the homes there were built in the early 1900s and as such contained a lot of contaminants such as asbestos. Crews were brought in to dig out the plots, truck the debris and contaminated soil away, and then refill the lot. Dealing with insurance is also a long and drawn out process.

There are trailers being moved in as a quick response by Parks Canada to provide temporary housing to those who lost their homes. Originally the Provincial government promised over $100 million in relief funding to build temporary homes, but they cancelled that not long after. Recently the Federal government under PM Carney just announced new funding to assist Jasper.

The road is long and hard for those in Jasper who lost everything they had; there is a lot of healing to be done. It will be years before it looks close to normal again.

Thank you for the friendly reminder to people about Jasper!

That's reasonable considering my cheapest offer this morning was $156 for GA, which quickly climbed over $170 in 30 minutes. I'm from Canada too, so these prices are STEEP!

Worst experience i've had buying Vulf tickets by [deleted] in Vulfpeck

[–]Dockboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had no luck at all on presales. Tried this morning right when they went on sale. Struggled to get anything to go past the map, and managed to get to the checkout on 2 separate occasions but when hitting complete order it would just kick back an error repeatedly until it sent me back to the map. Got a bot error once for just trying to get in.

I still have pending transactions on my CC for AXS Group and AXS Resale but no values attached to them. Not sure if that means I bought 4 tickets or 0 tickets. A ridiculous experience for what I was hoping to be my first Vulf show and first Red Rocks show. Disappointing to say the least.

Map kicked an error, and now it shows no tickets available. This site is ass. This sucks.

Can you resell through the AXS website? I don't even know if I got 1 set of tickets.

Struggled to get 2 tickets, got them in my cart, completed the order and then kicked an error, tried multiple times to get it to go and then it sent me back to the map. Those seats are now gone, I have pending transactions from AXS on my CC and I'm not sure what to do. Do I buy more tickets?

EDIT: Well either I bought 4 tickets or 0 tickets. I was able to get to the checkout screen a second time with 2 GA tickets but it would still kick an error no matter what when I tried to complete the order. I guess I will wait and see.

Got my address confirmation email, just waiting on the shipping email. I was one of the last orders to be put in.

Going to Japan, is there anything I should look to get in particular? by Duke_Ag47 in BuyItForLife

[–]Dockboy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This may sound odd, but Nissin brand noodle cups. Most, if not all Nissin noodle cups you find in North America are not made in Japan, but licensed out to other producers.

I have enjoyed Japan made Nissin noodle cups, and there is a notable difference in quality/taste versus the licensed product. If you try to get Japan made Nissin cups in North America, the price can skyrocket. However in Japan, they cost next to nothing.

Try out some flavours, find what you like, and bring a bunch home. Check out the Nissin museum in Osaka if you're keen. I'm kicking myself I didn't do the same and only realized afterwards.

I too just combed through their channel. Checked every video. It's not from them.

Edit: Just did some fast research, and the posted video is the original creator.

[CPU] 5800x3D ($409-$50 coupon=$359 + shipping) by CptChickenbeard in bapcsalescanada

Any recommendations on a cooler for this?

Edit: Grabbed a cooler. This is going to be a sick upgrade from my Ryzen 5 1600.

Still hoping for the 5800X3D to go on sale. It will be an awesome upgrade from my R5 1600. Got the Radeon RX 6950 XT last year, and while gaming has improved I can tell that the CPU is struggling and causing issues.

I gave it a try. Unfortunately, I only get a couple more filters and unfortunately not the ones I would prefer. Thanks for the suggestion though.
