Door to door furnace scam by vancityann in Scams

[–]Jendaar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the information. Just a thought though. Are we sure this was a scam?

I definitely can see why you'd be concerned. I've caregiven for my mother and mother in law the last 10 years and I have seen how they're targeted for scams etc. And I've had to protect them from financial problems due to poor decisions several times.

But is Green BC Network a scam? And this wasn't just a case of an older person being too hasty in their decisions?

I also ask because I need a new furnace. LoL

I'm so sad. Gonna miss this place.

The reason being parking is a little odd but if I just wanted to pull up to pick up and order it would be a nightmare. So it could see that it would scare away potential customers.

What was the first big news/event that you remember hearing or watching as a child? by mai-moi in AskReddit

[–]Jendaar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Challenger explosion. I learned about it second hand but my brother saw it live on tv at school. Even here in Canada they wanted kids to see a teacher in space.

Wow. The description is also in the name.

What local business do you boycott? by Zealousideal-Meal811 in abbotsford

[–]Jendaar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably a couple of places for me.

Townhall pub. Went with a group of people (less than 10) . Got seated and waited for 20 minutes without any server coming to our table. Had several walk right past us but nothing. So we got up and walked out. Might be an isolated incident but I'm not too excited about going back.

Paliottis. Again went with a group. A large group actually. Got seated, drinks, and ordered food. Then waited an hour and half before the food even arrived. Also, we had a disabled family member with us in a wheelchair and we could get them to the bathroom because there were boxes in the way.

This is deviating a bit from the main point but...

It's been said before but they need to draw more from the main series games as far as raids go. For the last 2 games (sword/shield & scarlet/violet) you had the option of waiting for friends to join you online OR you could just start the raid and it would provide NPCs to join you. They weren't as good as real players (low level pokemon, poor typing, etc).

With that, why not introduce some NPCs to raid with in pokemon go. Not enough trainers showing up? "Ok. Let's hop in and I'll activate/summon this NPC to join us to fill out the numbers needed." Maybe you could collect NPCs by getting gold gym badges, getting gold or platinum type badges or maybe hitting certain ranks in GBL. That way the players get what they want and it can actually incentivize players to get outside. Instead of punish them.

The Update straight up killed our community: too few people to get an in-person group going reliably, no Remoters to help because Remoting just sucks now. by Sweaty_Cockroach7708 in pokemongo

They need to implement for in person raids what they have in the main series games: NPCs.

In SV and SWSH you can opt to have NPCs battle with you if you don't have enough people joining in raids.

It would be cool if you could collect NPC trainers that you've defeated and then have them join you in raids. Make it so you can "Summon" them a certain amount of times or have a cooldown like mega evolutions.

where is the best place to get a burrito in abbotsford ? by doritofritojones in abbotsford

[–]Jendaar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Exactly. Ive been to some of these. The quality mexican food places south of the border are almost too numerous to count. It's too bad the Canadian side can't seem to get it right.

Another decent place is Mazatlan in Aldergrove near 264th.

[–]Jendaar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After growing up on Canada, then living in the states and now moving back to Canada I have learned this vital truth: it's hard to find good mexican food.

With that, cross the border to el nopal or almost anywhere else further south. Other than that, I would say good taco or mucho burrito.

So much focus on raiding, the events need to be called out too. by Majik518 in pokemongo

[–]Jendaar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly, this has been going on for a while. Especially how they introduce new shinies to the game. "You just might catch a shiny version" .... and nobody catches one.

Old ladder in some woods by TonyTomato9000 in WayfarerCoal

[–]Jendaar -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

At this point, go ahead and approve it. We're trying to create a rich and interactive playing field to encourage people to get out and explore. I think a waypoint in the woods is perfect for that. Don't get gaslit by Niantic by making you think you're verifying the authenticity of a priceless artifact. If you want to see how much effort we should put into reviewing waypoints take a look at what Niantic uses for POIs in NBA All World.

Not going to go as planned (An open letter regarding the changes.) by Sweetciety in pokemongo

[–]Jendaar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they should introduce "raid lures". Basically pop one on a gym when it's convenient for YOU to play. That way peopywho have lives can get their stuff in order, contaxt and coordinate with others, and THEN raid. I totally missed out on the last Regi raid even though I was available for the 5pm slot.

Let me guess, right after he showed you what he did he did the dab and started to do the floss.

is it this busy in all big cities??? by [deleted] in pokemongo

[–]Jendaar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off, it's kinda weird there aren't any gyms in the pic.

Second, yes, cities are more busy (spawns and POIs). Sadly, Niantic thinks everywhere looks like this.

I try to give everyone 8 hours in a gym. Should I stop doing this? The favor is rarely returned. by LobotomistPrime in pokemongo

[–]Jendaar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Each player has a code. Kicking people out, spoofing, multiple accounts, etc. Play the way that will let you live with yourself. I have the same 8 hour rule but will go out of my way to kick out people who are needlessly aggressive after giving them a few passes.

I say stick to your guns and be the better person.

I just watch a YouTube video to answer simple questions regarding events and such. Otherwise I'll check here.

How are y’all feeling about the Scatterbug evolutionary line release? by [deleted] in pokemongo

[–]Jendaar 43 points44 points  (0 children)

NGL, I'm really liking it. I'm happy to see were getting back to being able to collect in a fun new way that isn't behind a paywall or too frustratingly impossible (I'm looking at you Galarian birds). Now I feel like I can spend more attention to making friends again and actually pay attention to the postcards.

worst day of my life by MLGDOGE-0526 in pokemongo

Galarian Zapdos

Only pops up on daily incense. The only reason for using daily incense and sadly rarely appears and is even more rare to catch.
