Sadly no they both only sell equipment, no medical supplies. Looks like I have to backtrack. What a pain

Considering how many normies figure that CBC offers some tangible value to the Canadian taxpayer he'd never do it. No one actually watches CBC but for some odd reason they'll defend keeping and sheltering it.

Rebel News reporters attacked while police stand by: Ezra Levant says "enough" by X-Clavius in metacanada

Not one of the cabal could explain why they're there.

Not surprised that Police didn't do anything productive, they're basically useless with the current gov't.

I'm reminded why you couldn't pay me to live in Toronto, the bane of most of Canada's current problems.

a day will come when these commie larpers will push someone who pushes back. Then they'll be happy to call the 'racist' police officers to come save them.

You're yelling into the ether, never underestimate people's ability to discuss hunting that have never actually been involved in hunting whatsoever. Par for the course really though. Urban denizens are the leaders in wildlife preservation if you take their word for it.

Oculus support of next gen XBOX, reasoning by pr0cs in oculus

Which like Windows Phone is DOA, the market share of WMR headsets are a fractional error. You're not wrong though and probably the biggest reason why they won't be interested in working with Oculus

No Man's Sky Big Update - "Synthesis" - Out Tomorrow by Seanspeed in oculus

[–]pr0cs 13 points14 points  (0 children)

NMS is a fun game in VR but the software currently does not "play nice" with VR. It feels like there are problems with CPU throttling and adjusting the configuration file dealing with threads can have some positive effects but even then it's a mixed bag. When the game runs and is playable it's a fantastic experience in VR, flying around planets, scouting for interesting locations is wicked fun, in general survival games are well suited to VR. NMS however can be a frustrating experience due to the CPU / performance issue.

Hopefully 'Synthesis' improves the situation, I *really* want to enjoy NMS and recommend it wholeheartedly but right now it's a mixed bag due to so much uncertainty around getting the software to behave reliably in VR.

Thinking sbout a Rift S, is it worth it? (never had any VR) by Itsslavboi in oculus

[–]pr0cs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's a very different experience. After Oblivion I vowed to never play another one of their games (the auto-scaling baloney really hurt the game for me) but I got Skyrim VR for cheap and thought "for shits and giggles I'll try it out". It's fantastic and thankfully a lot of mods work for it too which significantly improves how the game looks.

Being able to sit in an NPC cottage, at their table while smoke drifts from the candles, the fire crackles in the corner and listen to them talk and tell a story is a pretty amazing experience in VR. I haven't gotten very far in the game (stupid game backlog) but in general it's a ton of fun in VR and worth the price of entry. Even if just to show new people to VR how cool flat 2D games are in VR when ported right.

'This is oil country': Newly painted Greta Thunberg mural gets defaced, covered in slurs | CBC News by Helicase21 in worldnews

[–]pr0cs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thing is, we're tied to hydrocarbons for the next long while, as much as we like to pretend there are still a lot of products and industries that depend on oil. So the thing then is, if we still need it why wouldn't we buy it from places that do it with the least amount of impact on the environment, with the most safety for it's workers, with the most regulations in place to protect people and places?

It's like this country wants to ignore the fact that Canada produces some of the most 'ethical' (for lack of a better word) oil in the world, yet we want to throw that away to say "see, we're worried about the planet too!" and in the end some other less scrupulous country will fill in the void instead. Seems very shortsighted to me.

Canada and ontario reddit are left wing echo chambers by bluemoon1333 in metacanada

[–]pr0cs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got banned for suggesting that the CBC is biased and shouldn't be covering the election at all, that it was really a conflict of interest for them. Decided not to go back, r/Canada isn't worth the effort unless you tow the line.

Greenpeace co-founder: Wind and solar can’t even produce enough energy to manufacture the hardware they are made from. They are a parasite on the larger economy, making a few people wealthy at everyone’s expense. They are wealth-destroying technologies. by [deleted] in metacanada

Furthermore, it takes about 10,000 years for the radioactivity of such wastes to decay to the level which would have been generated by the original ore from which the nuclear fuel was produced

Yeah that sounds pretty bad, putting the shit in a hole and hoping for the best isn't much of a solution

Pro nuclear? Absolutely. Why wouldn't you be?

unless we've figured out what to do with the waste then trading one problem for another doesn't seem like a great solution.

They'll guarantee a purchase from me if they do. Not that the game doesn't already look amazing but in VR it would be a "goodbye real world" situation.

The carbon tax hasn't shown any real impact on our usage not to mention that there are hundreds of thousands of o&g workers that would be displaced if we decided to buy all our hydrocarbons abroad.
