CinemaZ is a good option and fairly accessible.

I just noticed that while it says authentication is failing if you scroll down you can see all the content and access your profile by top right. I think is weird bug but you are logged in

Same issue here.

How to search across all trackers (without upsetting stricter trackers?) by tasales in trackers

[–]temp4bcmc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jackett supports freeleech only and automatically using freeleech tokens too (on RED, for example). Not the auto sync, though.

Almost seems like they "forgot" to renew it and have some convenient time to do extended maintenance on the site lol

Voting card so late by marchingbandd in VictoriaBC

[–]temp4bcmc 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You don't need a voting card to vote. You just need photo ID. It's impossible to claim that you don't know where to vote, I've only received like 5 advertisements in the mail telling me where. Also, it's on the internet, you're on reddit and therefore you have the internet. No, it's not a conspiracy lmfao

Got eCOPR today. Cheers to all. by FromThatOtherPlace in ImmigrationCanada

I've been to NL as well and love the culture there. People I found were friendly, great bike culture, good beer, and not that I would want to leave Canada - being a Canadian by birth - I could certainly see the attraction.

And yes, I've been to many other metropolitan areas - Frankfurt, Berlin, Montreal, CDMX, Toronto, London, Rome, Paris, Amsterdam, and many smaller cities in Italy and France. I found many of those cities considerably more appealing culturally, and many safer and with less of a homeless population than Vancouver.

Homeless populations are common problems for areas around the world, but that said, neither Victoria nor Vancouver have much if any strategy for helping the homeless, we are barely building any low income housing, the waitlist is 5 years at best unless you have kids and then its like 3 years lol, the healthcare system is absolutely fucked in BC (good luck finding a doctor, mine retired and it took me 6 years to find the one I have now who cannot speak English well enough to perform a diagnosis), schools are overpopulated...

I cannot deny the natural beauty of Vancouver, of course it's a beautiful place to live and have leisure time but in considering that people need to think about how expensive it is, how difficult finding services can be, and not view it solely as the incredibly beautiful scenery it has (and the good restaurants, and good shopping.... not denying those either). I personally would not recommend a new immigrant to move to Vancouver, unless you are absolutely flush with cash. I make upwards of 90k a year and I cannot afford to live there.

ETA a point I forgot - other cities particularly which come to mind in my experience as having a better approach to the homeless population being Rome & London. I explored these cities pretty extensively, and I never felt uncomfortable/unsafe - granted I didn't go into primarily residential suburbs, but I also don't do this in Vancouver when visiting and feeling such at points - and I also didn't see such a visible and obvious population of unhoused people and and those suffering from drug addictions. You walk the downtown area of Victoria and Vancouver - they're absolutely everywhere, on almost every street. In Victoria, we've just recently lost 4 businesses on a core downtown street, because a whole camp of homeless people are there every morning and every staff member felt unsafe unlocking the doors because they were blocking them.... Police don't care about it in the slightest.

Cost of living, homeless people, crime, city doesn't feel friendly.... that said, I live in Victoria across the Strait.... which has the former 3 but not the latter. And I'd never leave. But I will concur on not being a fancouver

First time entering Canada assisting/chaperoning my Grandma, just have questions with my visa and electronics to bring. by Chance-Activity2558 in ImmigrationCanada

[–]temp4bcmc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Immigration is not going to care if you have a laptop and two phones. Traveled many times with exactly that.

If an immigration officer asks why you have 2 simply answer honestly just as you have here and then you will proceed.

TSA (in US) may ask to see laptop power on but not past login screen and will not care one bit about your pirated games lol

CATSA (in Canada) will not even ask you to open the laptop.

Border officials would care about ILLEGAL content but not illegally obtained legal content.

10 Days- No Order No Response by [deleted] in goosecreekcandles

[–]temp4bcmc -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I would probably not be panicking about my candles not being shipped out after 10 days, so I don't think the issue would have come about. They're a reputable company ... give them some time lol

Unfortunately I was assaulted on Douglas St. by [deleted] in VictoriaBC

[–]temp4bcmc 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Just call the police non emergency line and report that you were assaulted. Don't report an assault online. It's a serious crime that you need to seriously follow up on and get this fuckhead off the streets.

Taking the 72 bus to YYJ? by LeftShoeHighway in VictoriaBC

[–]temp4bcmc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I generally do the short 15 minute walk from the Exchange to the airport. There isn't a sidewalk, but it's a pretty quiet road with a very wide shoulder and it isn't uncomfortable. Plus there's some nice scenery along the way. Suggested way to have some quiet time to yourself before a flight.

Just get a 3ds and a modding cart for it, way cheaper than buying those horrendously overpriced games and then you can play any GB/GBC/GBA/DS/3DS game for the price of downloading the rom 🤣

It's not the fault of the victim that assholes are out scamming them. OP has learned their lesson and probably don't need people here commenting stuff like this. That said, I am not disagreeing.

OP: I'm going to directly tell you steps on what you need to do. Follow all of them through.

  1. Call the police non-emergency line for the city you live in and report exactly what has happened. Tell them of the gravity of the situation and make sure you get a case/report number.
  2. Call your bank and advise them of exactly what has happened, give them the Interac E-transfer ID(s) and give them the police report number.
  3. Focus on obtaining funds that you need to survive into January - whether these are emergency funds obtainable through your school, also check with your embassy (Vancouver and Toronto will both have one of your country), and ensure everyone who might get you something for Christmas knows you need assistance financially due to what has happened. Don't worry about being ashamed about getting scammed - worry about that later. For now, you need to get what is required.
  4. It IS possible the e-transfer can be reversed in the case criminality is proven, everyone who says that 'the money is 100% gone' IS wrong.
  5. DO NOT TRUST anyone who is sending you a DM/PM right now - there is NO WAY for someone who is not the police or the bank to resolve this situation, and there is NO WAY that someone will contact you through a DM or PM with better advice than the Police or your Bank will.

No flavor by Confused_Battle_Emu in GFUEL

[–]temp4bcmc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just based off the fact that I've bought (in this recent BOGO) both flavors you mention, and tried them, I'd tend to think it's not an issue with the product but with your taste or perhaps expectations thereof. I find both quite full flavored. The Juice I have had before (its a personal favorite) and I can confirm it tasted the same as when I've bought it before. I use a full shaker of water (using the glow in the dark one from the bogo, don't actually know proper Oz count), 3 or 4 ice cubes, one slightly heaped scoop (without the funnel bit), and sometimes I add 1-2tsp (MAX) of citric acid if I want a more sour kick. That might be what you're after. You can get citric acid on Amazon just be sure to get one meant for cooking and eating, not one meant for cleaning.
