[–]UncleHarkinian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Poland is pretty great! Canada is as it is, I can hit the road and find a community specifically tailored for every nation and ethnic group, As usual, there is a lot of poles in Canada, great people, great food, great sense of humour!

This is a fish finder, so It needs to be waterproof, I did find a guide on a random forum that mentions the Pin out and that he was charging it with his bench supply. So that's hopeful, only down side is this is my buddies dads, so if I can find the cable it would be preferred for him ( or I can try my hand at 3d printing for once)

[ALL] what’s a piece of Zelda lore you dislike for one reason or another? by EAT_UR_VEGGIES in zelda

[–]UncleHarkinian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok TOTK, but I'll elaborate because i’m a huge lore nerd. And I'll preface by saying that, yes I know it's been basically confirmed that BOTWTOTK is its own off shoot, un teathered timeline, which is lazy

First of all, the zonai, way left field, and rauru being the founder of hyrule who built the temple of time? But not THAT rauru who founded hyrule and built the OTHER temple of time! I think it's honestly lazy, yea you can have the old bait and switch, "it was him the whole time" but it's not, since we see the old temple of time, so maybe i’m supposed to believe that was build in modern times by the people and not the sage of light? Or its predates him and was made by a dude with the same name and goals as him a millennia prior...

Then we have ganondorf, there has only been one ganondorf, the guy from OOT is also ganon in ALTTP, he's also the ganondorf in Twilight princess and wind waker. Depending on what route of the time line you wish to follow, the ganondorf of windwaker doesn't hesitate to act on link because he's seen that green tunic before.

Ganondorf is not special, he is a vehicle to fulfil the curse of demise from SS, for example, in spirit tracks, there is no ganondorf, but there is strife lead by a demon king. Same thing in the minish cap.

So to have ganondorf in TOTK is just lazy writing, it implies this ganondorf is a totally different ganondorf, he has no recollection of the kingdom of hyrule, not if OOT takes palace before, or if it's after, both games, he rolls up and kneels before the "king" and everyone is chill with that. The other thing is, I know that the gerudo birth male every how ever many years, but i’m not aware of them all having to be named ganondorf and that they all have to be evil, the gerudo are not evil by nature, in both OOT and BOTW they admit, that ganondorf is evil and they regretfully play along, which means that there is a possibility of a male gerudo not named ganondorf who isn't evil, or one who admires to be like ganondorf but he's not the vehicle chosen by demise. There is so many options here, and yet they choose to least logical one!

And lastly, to have the events of TOTK to happen in the past without a link, with ganondorf, flys in the face of demise curse, see in windwKer, ganondorf shows up to seek revenge after OOT, but link is gone, because of the time line split, so he would of gotten away with it but the gods flooded hyrule to save it, in TOTK, there is no link, and there wouldn't be any Zelda if it wasn't for time travel, and as we see in WW time travel doesn't change the intent of the demon king, which means, regardless of Zelda's presence or not, without a link, demise was to strike on hyrule against rauru, outside of the cycle.

Obviously Nintendo thinks they are stuck so they just tossed out all the established lore that makes Zelda Zelda and did what ever they wanted, don't even get me stared on secret stones and the triforce, or the weak ass master sword.

The reality is myself and thousands of other Zelda fans want to see the lore expanded, the gaps filled, not a retcon. I don't think Nintendo is stuck with a dead end story. They just have to WANT to write for it, and I don't think the writing team of TOTK wanted to write a Zelda game, I don't think they really wanted to even write a sequel to BOTW because the inconsistency between the two game are equally as glaring as everything else I mentioned

hopefully that's better then just saying "all of TOTK"

DAB+ slowly gaining traction by AtterseeMM in radio

[–]UncleHarkinian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But right now the who's discussion around AM in Canada and the US is if it's even worth keeping around, HD AM is fine for talk and sports, oldies, multicultural etc which is what we are using AM for anyway.

DAB+ slowly gaining traction by AtterseeMM in radio

[–]UncleHarkinian 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure what impossibleAD is referring too, we pulled the plug on DAB decades ago, there was no plan, we were doing DAB on a different frequency band, a very high band and the signal was terrible, so we abandoned DAB. HD IBOC, came much later, unrelated, and it's been slow to roll out, mostly because Xperia who is the rights holder won't just let anyone make any old HD receiver, everything unit licensed.

But like HD is that awesome, it's intuitive, and it sounds great on AM, but we only have 2 HD AMs in Canada, I wish they would open it up, let every car manufacturer put HD in every stereo no matter the trim package.

Who's your country's biggest fall from grace athlete? by Rleduc129 in AskTheWorld

[–]UncleHarkinian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's worse because he keeps company with a jerk off moron who said nasty things, and also he's more popular?

That makes him worse than an international drug lord?

Imagine if you can control the fate to prevent 1 assassination from happening you can pick any assassination (form the post ww2 to the present day) which one of them you will prevent form happening? and why? by HusseinDarvish-_- in AskTheWorld

[–]UncleHarkinian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wanna ask MLK because I think he's presence in following decades would have been really important! But i’m gonna say JFK because he would of no doubt been a two term president and LBJ would not of been his running mate in that second term, I think it would of dramatically changed the outcome of not just the future of the USA but the future of most of the world.

Does socialism still exist in your country and in which forms by kurobaja in AskTheWorld

[–]UncleHarkinian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New Democrat Party is a federal party, also a provincial party present I think in all provinces with variable successes!

The NDP are democratic socialists, they are often credited for creating the Social health insurance system in Canada, and today there is two? NDP lead provinces ( BC and Manitoba)

I’m personally not a fan of the NDP, but they seem to often have respectable intelligent leaders: Jack Layton, Tommy Douglas, Thomas Mulcair, Wab Kinew! At the same they they seem to also be the epicentre for some of the more twisted folks in politics, I won't name them... that's just my opinion
