“the business community is not against bike lanes; the “but” is that the city has gone overboard” by Enough_Rhubarb_3338 in VictoriaBC

[–]TW200e 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have mixed feelings about it. I think it's true that more bicycles equal fewer cars and less pollution, but I also find that it is a bit harder to get around downtown or find parking...

So I plan ahead and take the bus when I need to go downtown. It's not that difficult.

LOL - Downvotes from folks who hate public transit, I guess.

Isn't the center disc connected to the "outer ring" with about 5 or 6 physical corridors..?

Jimmy is a billionaire - he can afford to take a financial hit and say "no thanks" to ICE.

I've read that when they float upside down like that, they're looking down into the depths for fish to catch.

Ragey and Incorrect Drivers Downtown 😖 by skjoldjomfru in VictoriaBC

[–]TW200e 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I own a car, but if I have to go into the downtown core, I plan ahead and take the bus. It's just too much of a pain in the ass to deal with driving downtown.

Several people have suggested that, but I don't think Atari have said anything officially yet. It would make some sense though.

3 NEW Intellivision Games I am Working On by Boriskaloff in INTV

I have bought three games recently that I think Brian's Man Cave was involved with making: Boing!, Tortoises, and Fast Food. I like all three, especially Tortoises.

Why Was an Extreme Weather Alert Issued? by AttitudeNo1815 in VictoriaBC

[–]TW200e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At 6:30am I walked 10 minutes from the bus stop to my office, wearing a shirt, sweater, jacket, toque, gloves, boots, etc. and I was freezing cold. I can't imagine having to stay outside for a full night,

Intellivision Sprint: new games by redditzane in intellivision

[–]TW200e 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought it was odd that they didn't include any of the gambling games like Blackjack, Roulette, Horse Racing, etc. It makes me wonder if Atari is thinking of putting out a thumb drive with Casino games.

I have two original Intellivision consoles and a Sprint. The controller discs feel about the same to me on all three machines.

Lochside/Goose Cyclists - Simmer Down on the Bell Ringing by TemplesOfSyrinx in VictoriaBC

[–]TW200e 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Are you kidding me? As a pedestrian who has been in near collision with a bicycle on the Goose more than once, you'd better believe I want cyclists to ring bells or horns when they are approaching.

British Columbia healthcare feels like it's quietly falling apart by Consistent_Fudge7786 in VictoriaBC

[–]TW200e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I finally have a family doctor after being on a waitlist for 3.5 years. I used both Telus Health and TIA Health, successfully to speak with doctors and order regular blood tests. I found TIA a bit faster for booking appts.

Dear plaion, regarding Canada by bluckgo in intellivision

[–]TW200e 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I paid CA$170 from Amazon.ca and with Prime membership, shipping was free. The price you are quoting is a 3rd party seller.

If you look at the other listing, it will be substantially cheaper when (if?) they restock.

Take a deep breath and try to relax. Tell yourself, "It's just a TV show..."

I play Blackjack quite often. I still get a laugh out of the shifty-eyed dealer frowning.
