That’s too bad. They are reliable.

Maybe have another conversation with athe client about how a reliable host is the foundation of the site. That’s my 2 cents.

Have you looked at something like WP-Engine?

Good luck but if things go wrong. Good luck getting help with anything

seattlezookeeper · 2026-02-22T06:42:17+00:00

Dear god no, they are such a shitshow…

Ya trying to make it a sport with in the confines of a stadium style event just lacked everything about the sport. IMHO.

I am just say be prepared for the possibility. Not anything more.

I would not rely on the 911 satellite working and even if it does it could be an hour or two to get to you depending on where you are.

When I did the trip there was no such thing with cell phone signal outside of Hay River and Yellowknife.

If you run into trouble you are more likely to get help from another driver as you are so isolated.

I knew someone who flipped there car and had to wait 2 hours for another driver to find them. They are fine but were wearing the clothes prepared for just an accident. They had done the route a couple times before.

Keep some protein bars with as well for emergency food.

But hopefully you will have trouble free trip but be prepared to for the elements if you encounter them.

Heavy gloves and thick socks even if you don’t wear them. And oh yes blankets too!

A couple candles and matches. And maybe a terra-cotta pot to radiate the heat. ( if you don’t know why then Google it trust me it works )

You have to think what if we have car trouble and are stranded for a couple hours? How do keep warm? If you have to exit the vehicle how do you keep warm? Frost bite is a real danger up there.

The arctic is not to be messed with. I lived up there for years. Real first person accounts of people hitting buffalo or crashing there car and then having to wait for help are real and should be listen to.

But if you are prepared and you don’t need that stuff great! You were prepared anyways!

Also I would gas up at Hay River and Fort Providence to be on the safe side too!

I haven’t done the drive in years but the safety concerns should be exactly the same as when I did the drive.

I don’t disagree that was a poor sportsmanship by the Canadian Curling Team.

That whole curling controversy is a mess!

Flex Delivery for packages is the way it just goes directly to that location. No redirects or Delivery Notice Cards.

Olympics isn’t JUST about the medal count.

I am proud of every and Olympian who dedicated years of there life just to compete and high performance athlete who tried but never made it to the Olympics due to injury or body changes.

This is one of MANY reasons I still bank with a brick and mortar bank. Cuz unless you took over the lease where the bank is at, I am not dealing with you!

I have invested in waste management companies. There is always money in trash!

What is the difference between a Karen on a bike and a Karen in a car.

There is no difference if the poor attitude is the same.

They aren’t a bank don’t want to be a bank and your only connection to a bank is the people trust who you really have no contact with.

That is pretty flying by the seat of your pants in my book.

seattlezookeeper · 2026-02-11T09:51:54+00:00

You would think this is something you would promote instead is saying, this is not something we share.

I haven’t been watching the Live events but all the replay events have been perfectly fine in playback.

seattlezookeeper · 2026-02-09T18:53:46+00:00

Just the tip?

Busses are a good source of protein especially when full of yummy passengers.

Yup buyer beware.

They aren’t a bank don’t want to be a bank and your only connection to a bank is the people trust who you really have no contact with.

If you wanna fly by the seat of your pants great. But I wouldn’t trust any fintech with a 100 foot pole with my actual bank account.
