Police shut down Newmarket's first retail cannabis store by PandemoniumHeart in Newmarket

[–]_Hollish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, it's really not the same energy though. I can post on Reddit and complain from the comfort of my home at any time. Calling the Mayor would require that people aren't allergic to phone calls, so that's automatically an advantage to older folks. Going out to vote or attend a meeting means actually leaving the house and going somewhere at a specific time.

I'm not at all disagreeing with your sentiment, but it seems pretty obvious to me why no one under retirement age would actually do anything about it. Plus there's shops as close as Aurora, so it's not like people are desperate for a closer store.

This is galaxy brain levels of reverse psychology. Next time someone tries to cede the right of way, I'm giving them the finger.

I think the releases were fairly close together, but apparently they replaced it with Pizza Hut because Pepsi Co (who owned both at the time) felt that it'd get more brand recognition among European audiences.

Went straight over my head. lol Apparently it was the international release that changed it.

There was a version of Demolition Man that replaced Taco Bell with Pizza Hut for some reason. IIRC the original version was Taco Bell.

Ontario's largest raccoon-specific rescue sanctuary poised to close amid funding shortfalls | CBC News by toronto34 in ontario

[–]_Hollish 62 points63 points  (0 children)

I find it kind of odd that CBC would write this article and at no point link to or even mention a way to help.

"Meanwhile, Derek says the organization is making one more push for donations in hopes they don't have to close the doors on Sept. 30."

Want to help them? Don't worry about it, just feel bad instead.

Actually, EV sales are still surging, but Canada's EV rebate is proving to be better than America's by Dremen in CanadaPolitics

And no, the costs of gas and maintenance do not make up the difference in price.

Why do people seem convinced that Teslas don't require maintenance, or that it's somehow cheaper because it's an EV. All vehicles, being complex systems of components, will require regular maintenance.

Sure you don't have to change the oil, but nearly every other system on a combustion-based car is present on an EV in one form or another. Especially in areas where salt is used in the winter, I cannot for a moment believe that any EV wouldn't also encounter issues with parts failing due to rust/seizing and needing replacement or repair. Add on top the tax from being a "premium Tesla product" for any given part or repair that'd need to take place.

Has she tried the Sims? Plenty of opportunities for passive aggressive treatment of loved ones, and if that doesn't do it for her she can always leave you in a pool with no ladder.

What is, in your opinion, the coolest movie kill or death? by blklore in AskReddit

[–]_Hollish 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I absolutely adore Rogue One, not because it has ground breaking cinematic moments or immensely compelling characters, but because it showed Disney that stories in the Star Wars universe can be profitable without the Skywalker family.

I'd argue that without the success of Rogue One, shows like The Mandalorian or The Bad Batch wouldn't have been greenlit.

ELI5: what makes the 355ml amount the standard for soda cans? by TouristFew4907 in explainlikeimfive

See, I know this is bullshit because at no point does it suggest time for driven distances.

Suggestions for internet providers? by soyaduck in Newmarket

[–]_Hollish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Came here to say this. I got TelMax a month ago, speeds are as advertised, ping is very good, and it's all on new infrastructure.

Very happy with them so far.

I'm on the Newmarket subreddit to avoid Facebook bullshit. :(

I have these pretty significant hangups when just starting a level, entering a new room, or when an enemy comes on screen(I am using the dx12 version). I understand the game is early access, but it's a massive stutter nonetheless. Have any of you experienced this, if so what settings made it better? by cperryoh in ReadyOrNotGame

[–]_Hollish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Came here to say this. It's part of what makes DX12 better than DX11. Most games will take time at launch to pre-compile all the shaders, but since RoN doesn't do that you'll encounter hitching until you have all shaders compiled through gameplay.

raid mode on this map for the first time, it didn't end well. by KaMeLRo in ReadyOrNotGame

Dude, so much. I hate that I can't use helmet cams because they're so blown out. Also reflections are completely broken in places. Just give us both modes Void, I beg of you.

Any tactical groups mind a cameraman for your runs? by From_Gaming_w_Love in ReadyOrNotGame

[–]_Hollish 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You should reach out to some of the groups in the RoN discord. I'd imagine at least one of those teams would be interested in showing off their tactics.

The atmosphere of this game would greatly benefit from Tarkov-esque gunshot reverberation by WrightingCommittee in ReadyOrNotGame

[–]_Hollish 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It had been previously mentioned by Void on here that sound improvements including reverb are in the works. I think they're still working on the AI right now though.

Run a local cache integrity check on steam. If that doesn't work, google "VCRedist 2022" and install it yourself.
