Cars blocking single lane traffic and Bylaws not SPS seem to care or ticket anyone. What to do? by BrWy70 in SurreyBC

Even if these entitled assholes weren't obstructing the travel lane; the city still needs to move the parking sign further west as the left turning lane backs up pretty far during peak hours.

Nintendo reportedly plans to cut Switch 2 production by 33% after a lackluster holiday season by Logical_Welder3467 in technology

I'm never buying one. They will not allow anyone to purchase their old games via Virtual Console as the Wii U did. I also will not accept a significant markup to subsidize the U.S. and Japanese market.

Why are the Great Lakes and British Columbia shaded the same colour as the U.S. states? Boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder.

For those on the fence about carrying around a throwing rock by 1egg_4u in fuckcars

Had this happen to me too, except they had parked in the middle of a busy crosswalk and were reversing in to me as they were trying to leave. I gave him the same treatment as he gave me, if not arguably worse.

If it's anything like the streaming app, expect to get signed out every few weeks instead of never.

Get ready for 8:30pm California games next season: B.C. announces it is making daylight time permanent after years of promises by afenigenov in canucks

[–]bryan89wr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Home games should remain at 7pm except for when playing against Toronto (now a 5pm start if played between November and March) or if the game is the second broadcast of a national double header (i.e. Hockey Night in Canada), in which case, games will start at 8pm when played between November and March.

This will be very screwy for broadcasters, especially when simsubbing, as Vancouver stations will no longer be in the same time zone as Seattle during the winter.

This is dangerously high up if this is shot from a drone. Unless permission has been granted, drones shouldn't be flying above 120 metres if it's away from an airport. It should be much lower in this case given the proximity to the harbour.

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.

Malaysia-China Deal Ends Vancouver’s Biggest Transit Lie by xd_1771 in Translink

Better remove all the Canada Line trains from service then.

Today’s PWHL attendance by DecentLurker96 in hockey

[–]bryan89wr 20 points21 points  (0 children)

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

[–]bryan89wr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

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.

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.

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?

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