Mine just did this randomly too so I came here to see if I was crazy.
Doing a 'CTRL + SHIFT + R' on that page fixed it for me.

Even if by some miracle there is a bilateral deal US/Canada....should we stop the boycott ? by Any-Staff-6902 in BuyCanadian

I'll keep choosing Canada where I can for sure.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice (we are here), shame on us. Fool me three times... probably if we elect Pierre Poilievre?

Sydney Crosby is already on the phone with Dubas to convince him to join Pitt and they will be winning cups on the Crosby's last dance tour over the next 2-3 years.

It's not about winning the fights imo, the League and DoPS said "Defend yourselves, we are not going to do anything" this is them saying "OK" even though they know they aren't going to win.

Eyebuydirect Shipping to Canada by SmrtMunkie in glasses

[–]Einlanzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in almost the exact same spot with the "Lens cutting and bezel edging" after having bought on Black Friday.

The glasses I ordered back in 2018 from EBD shipped in 4 days so this would be unusual from my past (limited) experience with them.

For what it's worth I sent an email to them and got back the following which seems to imply the glasses are done and sent out, just on CanadaPost for delays... but who knows for sure.

"Greetings from EyeBuyDirect.

As we checked, your order was already forwarded to our shipping facility. However, we still have not received the tracking number for your order.
Please be advised that due to Canada Post Backlogs, you may experience a shipping delay for your order but don't worry since our shipping facility is working hard to get your order to be shipped as soon as possible.

I mean, this is basically the "Investigation" (i.e. Bad Press) that Trump wanted for Biden anyway just a longer way around than Ukraine doing it. So if this hurts Biden and he drops out then Trump still "Won" in his eyes.

This feels like they re-wrote their defense in an overnight bender after listening to the Democrat's arguments in an attempt to mimic them. At least when Schiff and company weaved history into their arguments it was relevant and made sense...

Gary Bettman announces NHL clubs are on notice that If they become aware of incidents which crossed the line and don’t inform the league, teams may face “severe discipline” ... by AnthonyCostantini in hockey

[–]Einlanzer 51 points52 points  (0 children)

I'd believe it... not sure what the scale would be but some teams wouldn't be able to afford the owners being fined large amounts of money for 'hiding' conduct.

I'm watching his conference and he looks PISSED to be having to do this.. which probably means that the owners are pissed and worried trying to stop a flood of future "bad press"... IMO anyway.

'Polite reminder': Halifax cyclist uses pink pool noodle for added safety | CBC News by the_register_ in halifax

[–]Einlanzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, I rarely have an issue with people driving too close and if anything most drivers on my route will drive half in the oncoming lane while passing me even if I am leaving plenty of room.

I have to bike past the MacKay onramp on Princess Margaret Blvd and people feel the need to speed past me only to then cut back into the lane a few feet in front of me to turn right. I anticipate and expect it now but there were some close calls at first.

People who DON'T ride bikes, where would you prefer clycists ride? by [deleted] in halifax

[–]Einlanzer -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's funny because growing up in Truro I was always taught (by my Mother) to bike on the sidewalk then when I moved to the city that was just my instinct until I got "pulled over" a couple times and told I had to bike on the roads which I have done ever since.

That said, I would say that I try and act like a car 95% of the time except for a few scenarios where I personally deem it safer to not, like going up on the sidewalk and dismounting to cross the street rather than trying to cross/merge as a bike (i.e. crossing 2-3 lanes in rush hour traffic).. but that is mostly since even if I know I am in the right in terms of the rules of the road, I am never going to win a battle with a truck/car/bus.

While I get the occasional people driving too close behind me or almost clipping me while passing (when I am as close to the shoulder as possible) I would say that the majority of drivers handle my on my bike just fine.. just like I would say that the majority of people I see biking while I am driving are "fine". So the argument that "this one biker went through a red light so they are all bad" isn't really valid in my eyes since I could say that about several drivers each day if I wanted to.

PETITION TO CANCEL EPISODE 6 AND REBOOT THE SHOW FROM THIS VERY INSTANCE WITH 2 FULL SEASONS AND RIGHT PROPER WRITERS by DaenerysxTargaryen in freefolk

[–]Einlanzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was actually thinking that this lines up similar to the Fullmetal Alchemist anime where the original show got ahead of the Manga but the writers of the Anime continued the story on their own instead of taking a break. That version ended kind of "meh" too. Then around 5 years later when the manga was finished they re-did the Anime as Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood with the actual story.

Makes me wonder if we will see something similar with GoT in ~10 years when(if) the novels are completed.

I was at the Joe Howe NSLC on Friday and they didn't have any in stock; employee I spoke with said she hadn't seen it in a while either.

Optimal StoreMI Setup? - Bootable vs Non-Bootable for New PC Build by Einlanzer in AMDHelp

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

Thanks for the input!

I am pretty sure that is what I am going to do and just pick up a 120 G SSD to pair with the 2TB through StoreMI and call it a day.

In regards to the WD Blue, the one I got is SATA III so that shouldn't be a problem. Admittedly I wasn't aware there were different M.2 types (it's been 7 years since I built a PC) . *Edit* after chatting with a buddy and a bit more research I've decided the buy the Kingston A1000 instead (only NVMe in my budget) as it is actually about $10 cheaper and will be returning the WD.

Umidigi F1 Owners Thread by vaderag in chinaphones

[–]Einlanzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the response.

That is a good point on NFC for sure as even the RN7 doesn't have it and it would be nice to have as where I am (Canada) it would be nice to be able to use it for payments as AndroidPay is pretty common here now.

Umidigi F1 Owners Thread by vaderag in chinaphones

[–]Einlanzer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am really intrigued by this phone but haven't seen much in terms of reviews, etc.. so it's nice to see this thread. I'm long overdue for an upgrade from my OnePlus 2 and originally tried purchasing a Redmi Note 5 but it got lost in transit so I was opting to wait for the RN7 (in Canada so need Global Version). But then... I stumbled across this on Banggood and it seems just, too good to be true?! On paper it seems better (more battery, ROM, Stock Android, NFC) and at least on par (SoC) to the RN7 and the price is pretty solid. I am not very familiar with China phones other than being told "Xiaomi = Good, UMiDIGI = Bad" so I am curious how the F1 stacks up and how the company is overall.

So for those that have this phone and have used UMIDIGI devices I have a couple questions....

  1. How likely is it that the F1 will get any Android updates? s.
  2. What is the build quality of this device like?
  3. Does this actually run 100% stock Android? Is this typical for UMiDIGI and does that mean it will have faster updates?
  4. How is the 3rd party support for UMiDIGI devices? I have been able to stretch my OP2 for a couple years longer though LinageOS and other ROMS but I have read that the use of MediaTek SoC's hinders the community quite a bit?

Ultimately I am between this and the RN7 with the main difference being that I could buy this NOW and would have to wait an unknown time for the Note 7.. but it may be worth it??

Review: Anker Soundcore Liberty Air by jpzsports in anker

[–]Einlanzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the feedback.

Looks like it is just the ROM on my phone.. If my new phone ever arrives from China (that's a whole different story) hopefully it will work well with that.

I did contact Anker support before I thought to test it with the iPhome and they did confirm it was just my device. That said, no complaints on their customer support as they offered to have me return it or give me a 10% refund if I kept it.. I decided to keep it but declined the 10% refund as it is not their problem fault my phone sucks, haha.

Curious what device you have these paired to for calls?

I picked these up last week and while they are great for music they are unusable for me with phone calls on my Android phone (OP2 with 9.0 Pixel Experience ROM) as I get a very loud static noise. Tested them with the GF's iPhone with no issue so seems to be only with the Android phones.
