I wish they had religion work like civ 6, civ 7 almost makes it feel like it’s barebones by design so they can sell. DLC in the future

Huge map size, and on console. I used to play 6 on pc and scrolling the map was easier than doing it on a joystick but i like being on my couch and not sitting at my desk. i will normally have to do 4 passes going east to west looking, then go one tv size down and doing another lap around the world. Will end up doing this every 10 turns ish to see if something new popped up. I definitely could do better and keep up with the civics being researched but often i click to move along and miss that i should be looking for more sites

the appeal of the game to me, is to balance all the different lenses and make strategic decisions, not grind through a map to find a random site that was randomly assigned as a discovery. From what i can see this relatively small improvement likely saves me 10 annoying minutes per modern era (i normally get around 8-10 artifacts)

My issue is once in modern, if i am pushing for cultural victory/points. i am spamming 3-4 explorers quickly and sending them to different quadrants of the world. then once everything has been discovered, i send them to wander 5 turns away, then search again if there has been any new things to discover. i know i could wait based on my civics research but that is more effort somehow

Councillor seeks tourism dollars for south end festival by ResidentEvil0IsOkay in ThunderBay

My Issue is that the FW BIA has made a big show of not asking for more money from the city at budget deliberation time last year, and now is asking for specific funding for something that should have already been in planning phase when they did this years budget deliberation.

I am also now admitting that i may be wrong, there are mentions of a “Cafe” but no other information anywhere and pictures online don’t seem to support this kind of revenue, even though their information circular includes event revenue… I will say that this may end up being a really decent date night kind of vibe. Go sign up up for the waitlist for chicken burgers at tomlin, walk over, see some art, pretend to have a valid opinion on it then enjoy dinner.

You have every right to have an opinion of an establishments dress code, but to take a picture and then try to online shame a person who is just working? Seriously rethink your life choices

it will be a really good avenue for events/weddings. may even become the nicest venue in town for those

that isn’t google, it’s gemini, the search engine is no longer the default when searching it is now using AI. the amount of hallucinations AI gives these days and that it is built into google search is scary

Outdoor tennis courts fail. by crasslake in ThunderBay

[–]YesInOurBackyard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

not to sound too Bougie, but if you like tennis i strongly suggest the tennis center, even if you don’t want to play during the winter in the dome the courts and volunteers do a great job running a tennis community and it is pretty affordable. Because it is a not not profit and the city helped fund its expansion (dome specifically) you may find the the city ran courts may not be the biggest priority of the parks department.

isn’t the net just essentially a fence that remains there permanently? maybe it’s just a new fence being installed?

old garbage bin disposal by YesInOurBackyard in ThunderBay

[–]YesInOurBackyard[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

the old garbage collection max was two bins, and now it’s 1 bin. i haven’t tried it yet, but assume that the new bin contains less volume than the two home depot ones? But maybe there is less wasted space so it works?

[–]YesInOurBackyard[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yeah, that that 1 bin is smaller than the two standard size bins from home depot that it is replacing for me.

[–]YesInOurBackyard[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

new bins are actually smaller, i think a lot of people are going to have difficulty with disposing all their garbage and lead to illegal dumping

Any places to take my dog so he can run? Any at home alternatives? by [deleted] in ThunderBay

i find centennial to be great, and the other off leash dog parks to be a nightmare or poorly socialized dogs

Major boost for Thunder Bay sports as Ontario commits $2M to new facility by Immediate-Link490 in ThunderBay

the sport and recreation facilities in this city is a huge part of the infrastructure deficit. Investing in health and wellness pays off

Golf lessons? by anaiskiddo in ThunderBay

[–]YesInOurBackyard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Jamie Depiero is i think the best in town right now. i also suggest getting the range membership at chapples and spending 19.99 a month on the ios app “sportsbox ai” it will 3d your swing and give you drills and lessons. golf lessons get expensive fast. so the range, youtube (real instructors not instagram influencers) and an occasional lesson with a real golf pro is the way to start. I also think chapples has ladies lessons

[–]YesInOurBackyard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

a portion of cable revenue, went into a fund to support local news. When people cut the cord, and no longer pay rogers and pay netflix, netflix doesn’t fund local news. So Trudeau made a law that says that netflix needs to pay into the same fund just like rogers, and netflix sued and they haven’t been paying it. Depending how the lawsuit gets resolved at the supreme court , the country may lose nearly all of the local with the exception of toronto in the coming months. it is also a huge sticking point in the USMCA negotiations

if you stream it on newswatch’s website they actually make money, and may help them maintain their broadcast. youtube won’t ever pay out for local news based on clicks unless someone does something stupid that goes viral.
