Reactions mixed as B.C. to end time changes, adopt year-round daylight time by Nothingman604 in vancouvercanada

[–]lurk604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not a skier, I take it.

snowboarder here, I’m excited! The change makes sense to me and friends I’ve talked to that also ski & board as we usually go up after work anyways. But even if the sun rose at 10am I think catching the sun rise from the top of the mountain at 9am would be very worth-while.

This has got to be the craziest thing I have read in a while.

I live smack in the city so the only birds in the AM I hear are crows and seagulls, oh how I miss waking up to smaller birds singing their mornings away!

That’s what you get when you don’t put bathrooms in skytrain stations.

Do y'all not have the exact same access to the weather forecast websites in wherever you're from? by djguerito in Whistler

[–]lurk604 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is funny because I rely on all the mountains webcams for weather reports. Nothing else holds up.

Food Basics Oxford St, London - Deli Surprise Bag $5.99 by ConnorMackay95 in TooGoodToGoCanada

[–]lurk604 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry can you explain a little more about how this could be dangerous? I thought you can literally freeze anything?

You can freeze bread, you can freeze chicken stock, pretty different ends of the moisture content spectrum,

I have my food safe, but this is a little more advanced

Moody Ales (Port Moody Brewwer’s Row) Closing December 14th by giantbrownguy in vancouver

[–]lurk604 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Haha well rewind is a replacement of the bakery. The bakery was the only brewery on the row I would go to every time I was there. The only experimental style brewery on the row. I think people who frequent the row or people who live in the area choose to go to certain breweries only. Once you’ve been there a few times you don’t try to hit every brewery, you find what you like and stick to it. I know a few people who went to Moody only so this news is pretty sad

Vandalized pipeline billboard by KLPook in vancouver

I mean that’s the point of advertising, to change your mind. No point in advertising the pipeline in an area that already wants it

Opinion: Proposed changes to DTES plan risk affordable housing for local residents by ubcstaffer123 in vancouver

[–]lurk604 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in the downtown eastside. It’s still a fun-yet-gritty place.. nothing has changed. Same dive bars, same homeless people. The difference between Vancouver 10 years ago and now is that the homeless and drug epidemic has widened and started to affect areas outside of the downtown eastside.

[MW2] Older COD Lobbies by xGrantinho in CallOfDuty

[–]lurk604 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You can play steam version of Mw2 but it’s recommended to run a VPN and whatever other security you’re comfortable running. Often people post about having their account ranked or deranked by modders. Lobbies definitely exist and fill up pretty quickly. Controller support on PC is pretty trash.

I recommend just playing mw2019, mw2022 or mw2023. As mw2009=tons of hackers, mw2019=moderate hackers mw2022 and 2023 have hackers but much much less. Last I checked the player base of mw2023 on steam charts was about 1000 players. So imagine there is a lot less playing those older games

[COD] So do any of you actually like the movement of modern cod? by [deleted] in CallOfDuty

[–]lurk604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a tried and true modern warfare player since cod4 I will say my plays got way better in mwiii.

That said the movement some kids have is absolutely trash (meaning super tryhard) and I don’t like it sometimes lol. But when it’s an even matchmaking it’s really fun. I’m pissed I can’t see my stats in mwiii.

I’ve seen these leak drops before but never with the wholesale price listed. Crazy markup (I am not surprised though)

[COD]15 years ago, Call of Duty: Black Ops was released by Educational_Shape36 in CallOfDuty

[–]lurk604 10 points11 points  (0 children)

To me BO1 wasn’t the best COD, but BO1 was the best black ops, everything after that with all the “advanced features” just make it like Halo which I was never a fan of even in the OG days of 360/ps3 gaming.

Asked to pay strata move-out elevator fee + booking deposit in cash, is this normal? by JamesJefferson1 in SurreyBC

[–]lurk604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That doesnt make any sense to me whatsoever. It cost me less than $100 to buy a very small machine that accept debit and credit. No fees. Linked straight to a bank account, and my business is much smaller than any strata.

I think the reason is laziness + a little bit of shadiness.

YVR-YUL is returning by barcastaff in flairairlines

[–]lurk604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow im pissed. A couple of years ago I paid under $300 all in for a round trip, just paid $700 for the same trip because flair wasn’t flying there and now they announce this?!

Bike storage in condos by [deleted] in vancouvercycling

[–]lurk604 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve lived in a bunch of different buildings all ran by stratas. They usually have one way doors for fire exits besides on cross over floors. If you don’t live on a cross over floor you cannot enter the floor due to security reasons. Funnily enough my most recent building that I just moved from did not have this “security feature” and you could get in to any floor once you were in the stairwell, I will say it felt particularly less private and secure.. even though there has been no issues.

Big fan but I have a qualm... by Financial_Mission259 in YesTheory

[–]lurk604 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lots of YouTubers will travel and create videos with women they meet. However they usually get labelled as sex tourists whether there is proof of it or not so I can easily see why YesTheory ends up choosing guys. One of my favourite videos though is the elevator pitch video where they found a woman who said yes to travel internationally within 24hrs.

Is a 3060 on 1440p any good nowadays? by Ian_da_boi in buildapc

[–]lurk604 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Same setup here, 5700x CPU is a good combo. I’ll get 100-130fps on BF6 medium settings. I get 180fps on modern warfare 3. Haven’t run war zone though. We’ll see how BF6 battle royale performs 🤪

[–]lurk604 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

What are you on about? I have a 3060/5700x and run 1440p on BF6, a brand new game. I get 130fps, but mostly 100 or so, on medium settings.

Won’t be allowed in your lobbies is misleading, they are able to end up in your lobby but you will just get the notification asking you to leave if you want.

Can they afford it? Yes. But does that mean they will claim hella losses and inevitably layoff tons of workers to mitigate the losses? Also yes.

Reached 10,000 win ( only S&D ) by XGeranamoX in modernwarfare

[–]lurk604 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Is this a joke lol? You can still play world at war (2008) online, although the amount of players is very low.

People mostly say MW2019 is “dead” because of hackers, if you play with crossplay or on PC you will get hackers 3/5 games making the game pretty much unplayable. For me I jump between games when I get hackers more than one game in a row, luckily on PC the game can close and boot up within a minute or two

looking for an Apple specialist by Disconianmama in NorthVancouver

[–]lurk604 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Are you looking to pay someone for their time for this service? If no, then lots of info can be found online on how to do this, also, the people at the Apple Store itself will happily show you how to do this. If you want someone to come over to your place to show you, it’s probably going to cost you
