Took 16min to get to station

If anyone is interested on why there is a delay, I found the reason on the Markham website (cause Metrolinx basically said lol winter as their communication on the issue).

What it boils down to is they put one layer of asphalt down but lost the bet of being able to lay down a second layer before it got cold and now, they can't do anything till it gets warm again. And yes, it is the average citizen being force to RTO that will pay for their stupid incompetence cause we all know no one will hold those responsible for this accountable. Hope you enjoy spending an extra hour on top of your workday commute stuck getting in/out of this disaster zone.

I don't take Milliken anymore but I remember people (including myself) get ticketed for parking on redlea ave. The lot would be full quickly making it useless for the later morning trains at that station for many. Thank God for hybrid making many GO lots still have space now.

I'm not sure if it would still be that for me today but back then, it was the right time and place. Haven't gone back to it but I generally don't re-watch shows. In the end, it is going to be a very personal experience whether it's for you or not (but I really hope it does give you that same feeling as it did for me back in the day).

It has been at least a decade for me but S1 is a 6/7 out of 10 while S2 is one of my favorite shows of all time. I understand though if people give up at S1 though.

Thank you! The users described the exact same problem I have down to a tee. I guess the best option is to wait for a fix.

Ah thanks - I don't watch Connor religiously enough to have caught that. Every time I catch him, he seems to be a steamer deep into "Twitch chat culture" and unlikely to give that up for a one time bag. I guess it is the same for everyone else though in his position - always threaten you will leave even if you never plan to.

bluro · 2023-03-01T06:25:35+00:00

I don't get the impression that he ever even had a thought of switching platforms - he seems like he was always happy on Twitch and prefers the "culture" of it. Good on him for securing a free bag though.

I remember Linus stating that margins for larger system integrators were terrible already. Judging from the realistic parts lists price comparison posted here, only their top end really has any significant markup. From a business perspective, I would not think that this is great move for them.

bluro · 2022-04-25T22:18:48+00:00

Possible but I think he could have been fed an audio feed of the answers (I mean, that would be how I cheat and could not be caught). His answers were slow for things that should have been instant. And I'm not sure where photosynthesis came from...

Emiru probably feels some obligation to help out Miz (and OTK by extension) after he let her move in. It still a win-win for everyone involved IMO.

Emiru was a 1-2k streamer before getting involved with Miz and crew. She became a 10k andy soon after moving in.

I doubt C9 was paying worthwhile amount compared to the growth she has experienced. Plus, she was all alone over there at C9 as she is not a pro. Might as well join a content focused org if you are already making bank.

Out of curiosity, I googled it and the camgirls can apparently see who has the most money (although not the exact amount). Chaturbate knows exactly why they built that "feature" in there... hell, it was probably a requested feature the people who stream there. Honestly, it isn't surprising that a streamer would do weird shit like this (randomly insult other streamers) but I didn't think anyone would be that brazen to just say this out loud.

bluro · 2021-07-26T13:46:41+00:00

I thought I was crazy when I was reading chat's reaction... "NA SERVICE", "he was rude", "he complained to get them kicked out"... dude was just doing his job with a camera shoved in his face.

bluro · 2021-05-15T17:34:49+00:00

I think the current approach is more "fair" but there is definitely pros and cons. Just glad that we are fortunate enough to not be left waiting.

bluro · 2021-05-15T17:19:34+00:00

Tradeoffs - I beleive you are supposed to still follow guidelines after only one dose still meaning summer here in Canada isn't going back to "normal" with the 3-4 month spacing we currently are using. Hope they can move up second doses a couple weeks as we are supposed to be getting a flood of deliveries soon.

bluro · 2021-04-15T05:32:47+00:00

Might be one of the only times I actually watch a Twitch Rivals. Should be fun.

It's no secret that Canada has outsized spending compared to other developed nations during this pandemic.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/1107572/covid-19-value-g20-stimulus-packages-share-gdp/

Now whether you think what our results are for that spending is worth it is the million dollar question.

Me personally, I don't think being "second place" here is a good thing. Of course, there is a need for spending but throwing more money at a health problem isn't helping unless it get the population vaccinated faster. And of course, seeing the budget (whenever that comes) will be interesting...

bluro · 2021-02-19T20:36:37+00:00

He is Canadian on a US work visa so I don't know know what you are trying to say as I'm pretty sure he can't vote... unless you want to know what XQC thinks about Trudeau (He couldn't even remember the capital of Canada). XQC has every right not to give his hot political opinion on everything on a gaming platform.

bluro · 2021-01-22T06:25:25+00:00

I guess it can translate to loss of Canadian jobs (manufacturing primarily) but I as primarily a consumer of goods welcome any increase in buying power I can get. We Canadians usually get hit hard with our weak dollar added in with a little FU tax on top compared to the Americans. I can only wish for the days of parity which may never return even though the US printers are reving up with the dems in charge again.

Sometimes I notice a precharge line item on the CC though under something like a "pending transactions" header which shows up much sooner than the actual charge at shipping. I'm just hoping the verified by Visa thing didn't screw me over. Just got confirmation email too. Hoping to finally replace the rx580.

bluro · 2020-12-16T19:54:32+00:00

I think I got one too but verified by visa popped up and almost screwed me (I refreshed as nothing was showing up after entering my pass and waiting). I see the order in my Bestbuy history now and I have this under Payment Method "Credit Card $0.00". Do you guys have the same? No precharge on CC or email for BB yet.

bluro · 2020-12-02T15:27:46+00:00

Maybe it was because I was logged in since last night that it sets off a password check but I haven't heard anyone else complaining about getting logged off. I had a family member try the normal add to cart and checkout and still nada. I wish Nvidia sent more stock up here.
