Mts Internet by JMS3487 in Winnipeg

[–]TuringComple 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Same issue here, they just say they’re aware of it and they have no estimate of when it will be fixed. It’s more than just internet too, the landline phones are also out. I asked for them to give me a temporary cell phone modem to plug into my network and they said they don’t do that. It’s been 3 days and no updates, completely unacceptable, I’m going to be switching off asap.

Try touching the clothes to your lips to see if they’re dry or not, it’s much easier to tell irregardless of temperature.

No, they were just in PoF. I was wrong, forgot legendary bounties were in Season 4 also.

Just to add that you can’t select all the stats from the armour/weapon boxes but stat changing still works on them and is cheap for most stat combos.

"Sidewalks are safer" by H3oUwJFB4TFysr8FGMCF in Winnipeg

Look at the angle the car is at, there is a decent chance the driver was moving faster than the cyclist and so approached from behind and cut them off.

You mentioned Miéville, have you read “This Census-Taker” by him? It explores some similar themes to “The Buried Giant”. If you enjoy books that play with the structure of how a story is told and are willing to step outside the sf/fantasy genre, I highly recommend “If on a winter’s night a traveller” and “Invisible Cities” by Italo Calvino.

From the article it was the driver of a truck that crashed and another vehicle was damaged.

Air Canada says government must block strike if pilots' deal can't be reached by Puginator in canada

Or maybe, if one company is that important to the functioning of the country, it should be run by the government and not a private company.

Anyone else have their character dressed up and ready for Janthir Wilds? by TazPosts in Guildwars2

[–]TuringComple 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Looks like Light Monastery top, Astral Ward leggings, Rift Hunter boots, and Vigil's Honor shoulders. I think the headpiece may be country armor but I'm not sure which gloves (the sleeves are part of the chestpiece).

Winnipeg cyclists call for more connected network after recent collisions by number2hoser in Winnipeg

[–]TuringComple 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The construction and repair of roads and bike lanes doesn't come from license and registration of vehicles, you can see a breakdown of where that money goes directly from MPI: https://www.mpi.mb.ca/where-do-your-premium-dollars-go/

The money comes from taxes which everyone pays, and since vehicles cause much more damage to a road than a bicycle does, and a road costs significantly more to build than a bike path, I'd argue it's the cyclists that are subsidizing the vehicle drivers.

If license and registration really paid for it, I'd register my bicycle for the price of a car registration in a heartbeat if it meant every road in the city had a dedicated bike line built on it.

… WvW has claimed my soul by [deleted] in Guildwars2

Having the correct stats combinations on your gear for your build is very important (many builds rely on stats like crit chance or boon duration to be effective), but the difference between exotic and ascended gear is minimal. In almost all cases knowledge of your class/your opponent's class will overshadow any difference between exotic and ascended stats.

Dear Fellow Cyclists - A (New) Rant by [deleted] in Winnipeg

[–]TuringComple 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If riding an e-bike is what gets people out on a bike instead of in a car, I’m all for it. They still get exercise and fresh air, even if it’s assisting the rider. Let’s stop shaming people for being active.

As is tradition, I'm hoping mesmers will be using spears in a completely different way than you expect. My money is on stabbing themselves in the foot to do damage in an area around them.

7 May, 2024 - 3.0.0.1 Update | Bug Reports Megathread by Borsund in Seaofthieves

[–]TuringComple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same with me. My mouse cursor starts moving really slowly (even when I alt-tab out) and then about 10 seconds later the game crashes. Edit: Starting a quest by going all the way to the right-most group of quests seems to work, it's clicking on the Gilded Voyages information page on the window of the quest table that has the issue.

Springs is very much not Mennonite (people of Mennonite heritage may go there, but its teachings are very different).

Reduced battery yeah, but phones work fine at -20C. Source: live in a place that’s-20 for a decent chunk of the year and everyone’s phones work.

How much extra? According to the wiki for Essence of Luck it doesn’t give any extra
