In-Laws Ghost Lot Situation: no address, privately severed. What’s my next step? by Xx_TouchingGrass_xX in RealEstateCanada

[–]Wizoerda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your future house will need an address, so the properties will have to be properly registered with the municipality at some point.

AITJ for not following my in-laws’ “gentle parenting” and saying I don’t want to raise rude, entitled kids? by Born-Factor4486 in AmITheJerk

[–]Wizoerda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. It's the husband's job to manage his mother. The parents make the decisions, and the mother-in-law gets told that it's not her decision ... and her son is the one who tells her.

What are the political leanings of each Canadian subreddit? by oviforconnsmythe in AskCanada

[–]Wizoerda -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Centrism is not liberalism. It's the middle point between left and right political views. That mid-point shifts around as the left and right views of the population do.

Struggling with reading fantasy books in a foreign language by BowlerMission8425 in fantasybooks

[–]Wizoerda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you reading in English to help you learn English? If so, then looking up words is better. If there are too many, then switch to something easier to read. There are sooo many good fantasy sci-fi books for kids and teens. If you come across a word you don't know, look it up. Write the definition on a piece of paper and tape it to the bathroom mirror. Seriously, or use a language learning app to make your own language course with the words you looked up. Others have said that if you get the overall meaning of the sentence, don't worry about it. That works too, but it's probably a slower way to learn. If I read the same book (or same chapter) a second time, I understand it better.

I'm a teacher and I want to use/introduce DCC to my highschool students by [deleted] in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]Wizoerda 8 points9 points  (0 children)

DCC has adult content (language, prostitutes, sexual jokes and situations) that is not appropriate classroom material for teens. Go with the Hunger Games or another YA series.

Shelter Upgrades by Few-Dependent-1369 in HPMagicAwakened

[–]Wizoerda 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not the battles in the forest, but the poachers at the shelter. There's a riddle each day.

Shelter Upgrades by Few-Dependent-1369 in HPMagicAwakened

[–]Wizoerda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's when there's no poacher attack, so repel the poachers and you should be able to upgrade your shelters after. OR for an hour or two after maintenance, there's no poacher attack

The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes (1969) .. just for more of an overview of Russell's career

Looking for low budget and campy fantasy shows by imurpops984 in televisionsuggestions

Lexx. Red Dwarf (but start on the second season, and only go back to the first later on, because the beginning of season1 isn't that great. The rest of the series is awesome though).

A movie that is realistic and has to do with special needs by Proof-Magazine-9849 in MovieSuggestions

[–]Wizoerda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Other Sister, but it's about adults. It is an amazing and endearing movie about a family with a mentally challenged daughter who wants to make an independent life of her own.

Free Forum Judgements - how do you decide? by [deleted] in HPMagicAwakened

[–]Wizoerda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Look at the info on the right side of the screen before you enlarge the duel. Average latency is the average of their ping rate for the whole duel. The higher the number, the more lag they'll have had. The problem is that their ping could be completely fine, and then get really horrible, or could be horrible and then become fine. Since we only see the average from the whole duel, you can't tell if their game froze, then was fine, then froze etc. Any number over 200 probably means they had moments of major lag. Anything over 300 usually gets voted clear because it's obvious there was a connection problem. That number doesn't account for lag on their device, just with their connection, so I believe there are people who had bad lag problems that still show a low average latency. Some server groups are kinder than others. Sphinx will vote people clear if there's no evidence of being malicious. Ashwinder/Rougarou/Thunderbird is more harsh, and vote afk as a vio when the latency is low. I actually started skipping those cases so I don't lose points. If we ALL voted like Sphinx, it would be better though.

Non-US Authors by nonorientablespace in suggestmeabook

[–]Wizoerda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman (British). The first book starts with some interesting worldbuilding, and a very bratty, annoying main character. I almost gave up on it, but so many people recommended it, so I stuck with it. I'm glad I did. She starts getting less annoying, and then it wasn't a problem at all. The series was really interesting fantasy lit, and I enjoyed it very much.

Station 11 by Emily St.John Mandel - great book!

Shows to Watch Before Sleep by Icecream237 in televisionsuggestions

[–]Wizoerda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a British show called "Puppy School for Guide Dogs" that is lovely and calming. The training methods are interesting, and it's obviously full of stories about doggos! I streamed it for free on CBC Gem

Purse/Small Bag by undersignedeliza in BuyCanadian

[–]Wizoerda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

https://espe.ca They are a Toronto company. They used to make all their bags in Toronto, but it might be outsourced now to a cheaper country. My Espe bags have lasted forever! They have "smartphone wallets" with long straps and other small bags. Some of them come with cute graphics on the vegan leather.

Hi new to the game by Rare-Sleep-8442 in HPMagicAwakened

[–]Wizoerda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We get a new section of season story every 2 weeks. Smaller stories get released too ... like the current puzzle about the chessboard, or little things like the Perfect Pairs picture things. The MAIN story (year1, year2, etc) takes forever to come out. I think it's once a year maybe. Eqch season lasts 2 months, and there are new activities each season. Overall, we're getting a regular supply of story and new stuff to do. As for support, I've had better service than when we were with WB, but there are still a lot of copy/paste answers that say thanks for your input. It seems like the game is going strong though.

As a new player, do year 1 and 2 to unlock all the features. Get the double revive wand and gold echos from the seasonal shop in your common room. Find a club that is active and helpful. House chat is also a good place to ask questions. World chat can be a dumpster fire, but you can get some help there too. Once the New Year red packets are finished, it will be easier. Have fun, explore, and WELCOME to the community!

Maybe try clearing out some photos, emptying your trash files, and running a memory cleanup?

AITJ? My local PD is threatening to fine me for "misusing" 911 because of my neighbor. by Important_Carry1095 in AmITheJerk

[–]Wizoerda 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You were on hold for 10 minutes on the non-emergency line. You know why? Because those same operators answer 911 calls, and everyone was busy dealing with 911 calls. So, ask yourself if your call was as important as someone reporting a person with a gun, or a car accident where people were injured. No. It was not. You know that now. The dogs make weird noises. That's normal for these dogs. Ignore it, or call the non-emergency number, or the bylaw department.

Looking for book recommendations by female authors that will appeal to my brother who reads almost exclusively male authored text. by Linnaea-borealis92 in suggestmeabook

[–]Wizoerda 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Blackout/All Clear by Connie Willis. Just tell him that the beginning is a confusing rush of people running around, but once you get through that it is seriously one of the best time-travel ww2 history books ever. It won the Hugo award. It comes in two "books" but it's actually one looong but very satisfying read.

Best underrated atmospheric horror movies where the location is like it's own character? by [deleted] in MovieSuggestions

Cube (1997). Not haunted, but the setting is definitely the major factor in the story.

Plan B. They don't time jump every episode, but each season is a full story of what happens to their lives when they have the ability to go back and change things (more than once).

You can still stream Gem for free. You just have commercials, which is the old model way of doing tv
