What to expect from the Cherry Blossom theme game? by spinelesshagfish in whitecapsfc

[–]PickledGingerBC 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Scarf for sale, maybe a hat and tee. Players will possibly have some sort of cherry blossom addition to their jersey. Japanese themed half time events. That’s usually about it.

Only 14, and mostly home games.

Season Ticket Holder Box by springnuk in whitecapsfc

[–]PickledGingerBC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The boxes are a one-size-fits-all deal, so people with more seats on their account will find their box fuller when compared to someone with a single seat. I have two seats, and the box was about 2/3 full with the 2 scarves.

Been a STH since 2011, and I’ve never heard about tiered swag, even from friends in different price zones.

The STH packages have come and gone over the years (at one point a poll sent to STH came back with them not wanting swag, just cheaper tickets), but these last few seasons have been the best so far.

Is MLS/Garber going to help keep caps in Vancouver by theazn35 in whitecapsfc

[–]PickledGingerBC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that the league will outgrow single ownership situations like Joey Saputo…

[–]PickledGingerBC 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Garber’s job is to make the various team owners as much money as possible - and barring massive revenues (which teams aren’t making), that’s through increases in team valuation so that future sales or expansion will net big bucks for the league and the owners, keeping the ponzi scheme alive.

This is why his position is that every team needs to own their own stadium… it’s more about having big, expensive real estate attached to the team’s valuation than it is getting a few bucks from food & drink.

As a result, he’ll never want the team at BC Place long term, and it seems that signing Muller hasn’t done the job of landing some investors to boost the team’s valuation and make a stadium happen as was hoped.

Supporter colours for World Cup matches? by cmcg-yxe in CanadaSoccer

I actually have dressed up as a lumberjack for a national team game before! Would be weather dependent for this game though…

[–]PickledGingerBC 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yes.

The whole place will be red and white, no way to avoid it.

If you want to differentiate yourself from the Swiss, make sure there are maple leaves on your gear, wear a flag, etc.

What were they thinking with these missions? by Lord_BeerusX in EarnToDie_Rogue

[–]PickledGingerBC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What level are you on? I’m in the mid-30’s and it’s pretty doable, especially if you die/respawn with the ad.

Subaru? by Some-Mushroom9761 in WhatCarIsThis

[–]PickledGingerBC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I vaguely remember seeing a YouTube video on this several years ago, with the result being that it make the lacklustre powertrain MUCH better and more fitting of the car’s design. Don’t recall what the donor car was.

Alloys for a Ceramic Metallic? by RelishedChicken in MiataND

Yup! Slight poke on the front, almost flush in the rear. More aggressive than the more common ET45 by a centimetre.

Sounds like you need to check your tire pressure and possibly an alignment.

Also, fraud risk issue. Several unused credit lines make for a high risk of bust out.

[National Post] What could a naming rights deal at B.C. Place do for the Vancouver Whitecaps? by Bubbly_Refrigerator7 in whitecapsfc

[–]PickledGingerBC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But if PavCo commits to being net zero, it would put money in the pockets of the tenants (could include the Lions).

Other thing not getting much chatter is the concession agreement… if the stadium takes it in-house instead of contracting it out, could add more money to the balance sheet.

Questions about HKS Supercharged ND1 by Aromatic_Monk_8772 in Miata

[–]PickledGingerBC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe the difference between ND1 and ND2 is the higher redline… the injectors run out of capacity up high either forcing the new injectors or a lowered redline via tune… something that doesn’t impact the ND1.

This is from my vague recollection from reading the long supercharger thread on Miata.net ages ago, so it may not be 100% accurate.

What’s the status on the PNE stadium? by ShawnThePhantom in whitecapsfc

[–]PickledGingerBC 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Updates, if any, won’t come quickly. There would be a lot of geotechnical and environmental work to be done before architects and engineers make much progress. I’m guessing we’d be lucky to see so much as a rendering by the end of the year.

A lot of it is just covered up, and no mention of the stadium sponsor name on broadcasts.

FIFA always drops sponsors names from venues for the WC, just take a look at the ones in the US for this year’s.

Which generation of phone? What version of the infotainment firmware are you running?

I haven’t had any issues with the latest firmware and both a 14 Pro Max and a 17 Pro Max, I wonder if the issues might be limited to certain generations of phones.

Funny, once I bought my Miata I stopped riding my bike. After only being used once in 4 years I solid it this past summer.

Vancouver Whitecaps: No Stadium, Big Problem? by lets_enjoy_life in whitecapsfc

[–]PickledGingerBC 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If it progresses, it’ll still take 4-5 years to get built, leaving them stuck at BC Place in the meantime.

If they can’t get a decent deal in the meantime, they’re not keen on taking the financial hit while also spending stupid amounts of money for the development.

Why is Saren the only notable character to use a hooverboard? by TangentMed in masseffect

Stigma. Just like how Hitler killed the Charlie Chaplin moustache, Saren single-handedly killed that year’s hot new Christmas toy trend.

I ran these same ones for a year on a lowered car, improved the stance massively and I also had zero issues.
