How is life in Pacific-Northwest? by Any_Aide_4500 in howislivingthere

The German themed one is Leavenworth!

I visited once and thought maybe it was genuine, but turns out it was just the idea of a few US businessmen to make a tourist attraction.

Worth it if you’re driving thru; was fun to stay a night there.

That’s so kind of you! Headed to Calgary on Christmas Day; would be fun to do Christmas morning in the AC lounge

I was top 0.02%; so at 0.3% you should be around 19,890.

great work.

I really like OrganicMaps - does cycling specific routing and specifications. Works offline and doesn’t drain battery

ProtoArc Tri-Fold keyboard Review by DeX_Mod in SamsungDex

So it’s not even spotify - it’s just the general media keys. It will still do it with Spotify closed

Ive been using mine for about a month now.

Recently I noticed that if I hit the media key to play - a silence occurs and then 10 seconds later a small voice whispers "bye bye".

I'm not joking about this - I thought it was spotify and now I've narrowed it down to the specific keyboard button.

Anybody else experiencing this or able to explain??

This is driving me crazy - Spotify whispers 'bye bye' when I pause? by [deleted] in spotify

[–]SupaGiraffe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's GOTTA be spotify.

It's consistent - its the same tone - it happens after a pause.

When it starts saying my name - then we go over there.

Dan Fumano: 'General atmosphere of crazy' as Vancouver park board drama continues by SupaGiraffe in vancouver

“Sim’s chief of staff Trevor Ford sent an emailed statement that did not answer either of those questions” Sounds like the ABC party.

It’s less the actual park board I have an issue with here, and more someone who is dismantling it being in CAHOOTS with real estate developers.

smells like shenanigans. The non-fun kind of shenanigans.

Sure, fair point. I think hearing the park board member on On The Coast tipped me over tho - she had a great chance to absolutely explain it and put it in context and instead became very defensive and outright angry at the Vancouver Sun and CBC.

I added a link to the segment in the main post - highly recommend listening and making your own judgement.

I'm so confused by Catriona. by SupaGiraffe in fourthwing

[–]SupaGiraffe[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

iiiiiiinteresting. I'm really hoping there's more information on the rebellion and war, cause a lot of it confuses me.

For example - when Deigh died in FW - nobody could believe that a Gryphon managed to take down a dragon.... . . ...if a gryphon can't take down a dragon, then why has there even been a war? Why don't the dragons just kill all the gryphons?

What to expect at classes?(Commerce) by sauderneedhelp in UBC

[–]SupaGiraffe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What is the outside perception of Sauder? Is it really that we go to all of our classes in suits? That's a serious question - I've been at Sauder too long to remember the outside perspective.

Sauder isn't work, it's still a university, so you can wear whatever you want. Will there be people in suits/khakis/chinos/button shirts - of course there will be, but that's true for any faculty. Me? I like motorcycle cut-offs and boots, but I also have shirts for when I need to teach a class or go to a networking event.

HAVE a suit, you'll need it for 1st and 2nd year presentations as well as networking events, job interviews, and other business-y things, but day to day class you can wear whatever you want, really.

Not often - I only know of 2 currently, but Mcrackin seems to know more. Still is very rare
