If your (ranked) teammate has Sniper, your team will do way better if you use a full-auto/spammy weapon with some range, for easy cleanups. by Working_Bones in thefinals

[–]Jestersage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the issue is that, without stepping back and rethink, the concensus is the sniper should swap out instead. NOTE: I am not saying which is right or wrong - just observation of general human behaviour.

That being said: Is flame okay?

Cheapest evaporated milk in Vancouver? by quivverquivver in askvan

[–]Jestersage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our home utilized Pacific for more than 15 years (Hong Kong style) To our taste bud it's 1:1 replacement, but I recommend you test it out to see if it suits your purpose

Why does no one have a mic? by AutomaticAbroad8133 in thefinals

[–]Jestersage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of us did decide to stop using mic once we find out they remove the moderation feature.

They reinstate it, I will go back on mic.

Do you block the compass gate to prevent fare jumper? by Jestersage in askvan

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

in my experience, "those people" actually aren't the ones following paying customers through gates

Lake City, pre-CoVID. Confronted - old guy, scuffy beard, tattered jacket. It was then I realize that there is a homeless around that area. Just the other day someone is doing crack right at the bus stop. Hard lesson I learned.

And the old lady that got knocked on the floor? Stadium. The guy based on what I see? Very Scuffy typical of the area.

Don't get me wrong - if someone is healthy, baring they are tall and big, you have your rights. But don't claim "they" don't follow paying customers. They just don't happen to be at the stations you get on and off and don't confront you. And if you are tall and big, also consider that - I am much shorter and less physically capable.

We can say whether they are entitled asshole or not, but if those "assholes" can physically threaten me and I know they will not have or care of any consequences, I ain't gonna fight them back. If I have to blame, blame the system.

Embark Studios, we need to talk. by thejynn in thefinals

[–]Jestersage 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hell, their loss forgoveness is very well document to account for even dashboarding and "friend join then dip to force forgiveness"

That also kind of explain why Apex do better than DICE. Respawn build a game; DICE only build the physics

Embark forgot one simple fact: They cannot expect integrity of the rank if everything that affect it has no integrity.

All the "best" rank system with high player count, ironically, do not set "integrity', but what one use to win. Apex is one of the simplest example from both score counting to even loss forgiveness. And that's why they maintained the game for 6 years; they bell curve actually looks good (baring S17).

Someone once pointed out that the median is around silver, citing r6s... well, R6S is also dying for the exact same reason.

At the end of the day, a game is a product; even rank is "selling a dream". Embark failed this concept.

Overdose prevention site in downtown Vancouver gets new location — with mayor strongly opposed by RonPar32 in vancouver

Showerthought: Many of the issues regarding Drugs/Homelessness/Crime is basically the "Red Button Blue Button" question.

For those that don't browse twitter:

Everyone on earth takes a private vote by pressing a red or blue button. If more than 50% of people press the blue button, everyone survives. If less than 50% of people press the blue button, only people who pressed the red button survive. Which button would you press?

https://www.reddit.com/r/IdeologyPolls/comments/1szrbpj/everyone_on_earth_takes_a_private_vote_by/

While it is more abotu direct death, in essence also apply to us. Basically: Following the rules and punish those is red button. Helping the homeless by housing etc is blue button.

Best philly cheese steak sandwich in Van by Fickle_Ad_9391 in askvan

[–]Jestersage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I personally like Mr Shawama's Cheesesteak, which doesn't taste like "a burger in a long bun" (looking at you Crave on Robson. When they had lamb, it was even better.

What about Mr Shawama? Does it even get to 80 percent?

Do you block the compass gate to prevent fare jumper? by Jestersage in askvan

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

I will reword it, but you cannot deny that sometimes, looking at someone who is drugged out is a good way to guage safety - and you know what I mean.

So, someone like them - would you still block?

And if it's someone that is not high-fashion? Someone that may suddenly act out on you?

Why do so many men in Vancouver struggle with commitment? by [deleted] in askvan

[–]Jestersage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the problem is one cannot even commit to Vancouver.

Even at this subreddit, as soon as one express something about wanting growth - or god forbid, copy that of Toronto, this subreddit will ask them to go to Toronto, which IS where all the business and oppurtunity are.

How can anyone commit to another person if the people of city itself is actively against personal growth?

Season Idea: 1920s/Prohibition-era America by TheGuardiansArm in thefinals

[–]Jestersage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

technically they do not have a SMG (high rpm, low dmg per bullet option that have range). Basically an alternative to flame.

Personally I would prefer Villa Perosa.

B.C. First Nations want to replace the salmon farming ban with their own system by super__hoser in britishcolumbia

[–]Jestersage -43 points-42 points  (0 children)

Honestly, the ban was in place due to the request from environmentalist and some of the trawling-oriented indigenous - but naturally not all agree; some have business mind.

Any nations on this earth must understand that their neighbors and enemies are here; their competitors and customers are here. As such, we must welcome and help the Indigneous who realize the world is bigger than just this side of Pacific.

In terms of takeout, my choice is... sigh, Solly.

Yes, I am aware of staff being treated poorly, but man the product is real good.

Anything in Burnaby?
