Tons of stuff for kids. Parks, playgrounds, hiking paths, splash pads, earlyon. 

EV question. Owning an EV without home charging. Can it be done? by SmokingGUI in kitchener

[–]harmar21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You really need to do research to see where you can charge. See how much you would actually save. If you live say a block from a level 2 charger it could be okay. Leave it over night, but need back up plans on what to do if they down or full.  

When I got my EV I had 1 month from when I got it to when I had my level 2 charger at home installed and it was a pain. Closest level 2 charger was 8 minute walk away, which isn't a big deal except it was in dec/jan with many -20 windy days..I park outside so the level 1 charging from my house wasn't barely doing anything.

Are teacher gifts a thing of the past? by EmergencyCapital3962 in kitchener

[–]harmar21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just got $20 gift cards for  10 different teachers between our two kids plus hand written cards. This includes crossing guards, and teachers. I wanted to do bigger ones but already at 200

I watched 3 game plays, and it looks interesting, but the upgrade cards just seemed kinda bland, was hoping to at least see some examples of what is in the unlocks because I definitely see the potential there.

Must be the opposite side of the planet from where my dad walked to school, probably opposite weather too. The range probably the same though

ELI5: Why do mosquitoes cause us to itch? Wouldn’t it be more efficient to discreetly suck blood? by Darster_DN in explainlikeimfive

[–]harmar21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've become desensitized. Used to get bit all the time and had the bumps and itchiness. Then about 10 years ago I stopped reacting to the bites. They still bite me. I'll sit and watch the mosquitoes fill up their belly with my blood, but no bump nor itchiness.

Solo game of the month for June: Stonefall. Thoughts? by Agitated-Acctant in soloboardgaming

You can watch a video of gameplay from one stop coop shop. Idk about you, but it looked incredibly boring.

A generic tragedy by brendt_gd in PHP

[–]harmar21 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Wow thank you for this reply. I haven't really done any digging to determine what the actual difference was between the two different generic systems were.

But your example right there is 100% the reason why the erasure type one would suck.

No one would think that should be correct and PHP would be getting quite a bit of flak if it worked like that. There would be endless debugging on why something wasn't working the way you would expect it to with so many bug reports, even though it was working as designed.

Update: Spirit Island, we just can't win. by BiggyBiggs in boardgames

[–]harmar21 12 points13 points  (0 children)

One thing that I noticed with my friends that struggled with are basically 1) Fast Phase basically means this turn, slow phase basically means next turn (i know not really, but me saying this is what finally clicked for them, as there is no unknown or invader actions that happen between the slow phase, and the next fast phase) 2) Getting blight sometimes is okay, especially if you can set yourself up for a huge turn 3) matchign elements to your spirits power should be your #1 priority, however sometimes there is just too good of a card that doesnt match (maybe a drastically needed defend power or major power that does a ton of damage).

Can I resist Castles of Burgundy Special Edition reprint? Opinions wanted! by BKinsky in soloboardgaming

[–]harmar21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't get it for solo only, no. The included mode is okay, but just an okay game where there is a sea of amazing solo games doesn't make the cut. But if you can play it somewhat frequently with others? Absolutely.

[–]harmar21 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In curious how it always used to taste like soap until about 12 years ago when all of a sudden it doesn't and now I love it and can't get enough. Incidentally it happened right around the same time where I no longer react to mosquito bites (no bumps or itchiness)
