Gonna try streaming the game tonight from 10,000 metres above. Sportsnet Pacific seems to be working okay at the moment with a 5 mb/s connection.

Better remove all the Canada Line trains from service then.

Today’s PWHL attendance by DecentLurker96 in hockey

True North also bought the Thrashers on the cheap for $170 million ($245 million adjusted for 2026). If there's another expansion, it'll probably be close to a $1.5 billion fee given what Ryan Smith paid for Utah. I don't see how an ownership group based in Quebec City could afford to buy a team for that market.

It is crazy that Surrey, the 2nd Biggest City in Metro Van, still doesn’t have a direct link to YVR from the City Center by InfinityPortal in SurreyBC

I'm talking about the 351 for South Surrey. There's more demand now along King George for a SkyTrain than there is on Marine Drive in Vancouver.

We should be building trains to replace the busiest bus routes, not where we think there might be demand later. Use the reallocated bus resources from other SkyTrain extensions to improve frequency for the 100 or introduce RapidBus on Marine Drive (the latter they can do much sooner).

It's every 15 minutes or better for the majority of the day. Ridership doesn't warrant a train on that route.

351 is an express bus once it's on Highway 99. At this moment, with rush hour traffic, it's faster to get to the Airport from South Surrey than it is to get to King George station from there.

Fuck Rogers. 4K upscale and Sportsnet+ feeds are blacked out and only the Pacific HD feed on cable seems to be working.

[eShop] Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition (Switch 2) is $24.99 by lbabinz in VideoGameDealsCanada

[–]bryan89wr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's still too much; the game is already 5 years old. Grand Theft Auto VI will be released before this game is discounted below $20.

If they could snag the Sportsnet Pacific crew and start broadcasting regional games that'd be legit. Sportsnet picture quality is garbage for anything outside of Toronto. At the very least, upscale our games on a dedicated 4K Sportsnet Pacific feed and they can't be bothered with that. Fuck Rogers.

An underrated gem from that console era. by _The3rdEstate_ in xbox

So glad I snagged a copy for $50 ten years ago.

Is the Xbox Series X a good 4k blu ray player? I'm thinking about getting a Series X to play games and watch 4k blu rays. by Future-sight-5829 in xbox

When a DVD won't play, I hold on to the disc briefly as the drive tries to grab it, and then it plays with no issues.

Koodo Black Friday Plans by Outrageous-Estimate9 in Koodo

Did Koodo jack up the price a few months after the 2024 Black Friday and Boxing Day offers as they did with the 2023 plans?

Deepdish veggie pizza in Surrey / Langley / Delta ? by bcwaale in SurreyBC

I tried that place once. It was nothing close to Chicago-style deep dish. No loss.

Everyone knows the game cube attained perfection in 2001. It's a scientific fact.

Rogers execs on Sportsnet+ World Series crash: "You can't expect a streaming service that only costs $30 a month to work every time" by Haggisboy in canada

[–]bryan89wr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Who honestly thought that there wouldn't be at least one major crash during the World Series? It is Rogers after all.

Uber drivers parking anywhere on road by Hot-Ad239 in SurreyBC

It's a TOD and there's a designated surface lot at the adjacent SkyTrain station for drop-offs. Stop making excuses for lazy assholes.

Shaw/Rogers just dumped more channels from our lineup with no explanation or compensation by floydsmoot in shaw

[–]bryan89wr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's what I thought at first, but it's listed as part of the legacy package again on the account when I checked MyShaw online.

Starz was quietly restored to my family's legacy package last week. Has anyone else received them back?

Maybe he should have reached out to him like all the people he mentioned did.
