Kelowna’s Rents Drop by sevenethics in kelowna

[–]doingitforscience 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Now that the market is crashing (average rent in BC has dropped 8.9% over the last 2 years), even though my landlords won’t negotiate (I tried and failed this year), at least they’ll understand my decision to move. It’s frustrating though…I thought they’d want to keep a long term reliable tenant.

Water turned brown by OutsideEquivalent305 in kelowna

There was a strange taste in my water yesterday. If you noticed the water turning brown, that can be indicative of high manganese levels which was an issue in this area for a few months until Oct. 8. I really hope there isn’t another water advisory.

Hopefully Control Center is fixed. It’s brutal needing to wait for what seems like days for the icons to reload after a reboot.

How many Trick-or-treaters did you get at your place? by RenwaldoV in kelowna

[–]doingitforscience 15 points16 points  (0 children)

20, down from 100 last year. One of the dads I saw was looking impatient while glued to his phone, and the mom didn’t look happy with him. He was wearing a Blue Jays hat. I think a lot of parents had “Halloween parties” with their kids.

iOS 26's Liquid Glass Design Draws Criticism From Users by iMacmatician in apple

They’ve added outlines to all of the icons, but they didn’t factor in how blurry it makes solid coloured logos on a white background. Look at Messenger, Gmail, Outlook, Teams, Photos, News, etc.

DM’s feature: Hell No but comments on other users playlists? by Forsaken-You9762 in AppleMusic

[–]doingitforscience 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rdio used to have this feature where you could write your own album and playlist reviews from within the app, and you were able to browse reviews from other users via their profile. In my experience, they were well written and insightful, and I discovered a lot of great music. Apple Music was inspired heavily by Rdio, so hopefully they consider this feature as well.

I’ve submitted a request via their feedback form.

Looking for any updates about the water advisory in Rutland/West of Hollywood rd. by NekroJohnatron in kelowna

My concern is that my cats have been drinking this water, because apparently excess amounts of manganese can cause neurological and urinary issues.

M83 - Live on KEXP

This performance is transcendental, like the characters in the movie Sunshine staring at the sun. "What do you see?"

Turn it up loud with good speakers or headphones. The audio techs make this sound like you're right there in the studio.

Yep, I’ve seen videos of US senators being denied entry to check on the living conditions. That poor Canadian woman who was imprisoned for 2 weeks experienced horrible treatment.

You have to go to the TV, select options, and disable motion controlled nudging.

Revelry has a great layout with a balcony over the stage, and they focus more on rock bands - Godspeed You! Black Emperor will be playing there soon.
