As for Burnaby - I'm not sure exactly. Probably cheaper and more available land for commercial businesses. Vancouver is notoriously expensive and cramped.
It's very good and an extremely faithful remaster. The only thing I don't like is that most of the new voice actors are not as good, but there is a mod you can download (within the game's own mod manager) to restore the original voices. Also the menu system is kinda janky, but it works.
Improved supercruise. Either visually, mechanically, or both. Supercruising is, in my opinion, the most boring part of the entire game and I have to guess that Frontier agrees because they added the supercruise boost mechanic to reduce supercruise times. I do appreciate the addition, but I'd also like to see some sort of visual overhaul so it looks cooler, like FSD jumps or quantum drives in Star Citizen.
Most of my groceries are either already made in Canada or imported from Mexico. I didn't have to change much.
It's not a cheap way to shop, I will admit, but it can be done. Canada makes a lot of food, especially here in BC where I live. Beef, pork, sausages, honey, dairy, milk-alternatives, breads, and so much more.
For non-grocery items there are numerous retailers that are Canadian. London Drugs is a great one here in western Canada. Online shopping is a bit harder because Amazon is so hard to replicate, but honestly at that point I just buy from Aliexpress. If I'm going to order cheap crap online I'll just get it from the source instead of sending money to the US.
Apple is likely counting on iOS fans who have resisted the temptation of getting one of the top foldable phones already available as they wait for a foldable iPhone
I think that has more to do with the fact that folding phones are eye-wateringly expensive. I expect a folding iPhone to cost even more.
EA execs: "Dragon Age: The Veilguard would have sold better if it was even worse."
They can do whatever they want with Mass Effect, far as I'm concerned. I'm not supporting EA nor do I trust them to not butcher their own products. They are self-destructing just like Ubisoft is because they cannot make a good decision to save their life.
They are (were) a fringe fascist party that rose to near-electoral status because our voting population is catastrophically ignorant about politics and thought they were voting away Trudeau during a provincial election.
It is mind-blowing how much Trudeau influenced an election he had no involvement in. Then again there was a lot of outside meddling such as ad campaigns from the Alberta government.
To be fair, if you've been using Linux exclusively for nearly 30 years then yeah, you wouldn't be missing any Windows features because you don't daily it. That's a no-brainer.
I'm a daily Windows user but I do sometimes dabble in Linux both out of curiosity and also for challenge reasons. I used to use it for my school laptop(s) and at one point I had a 2nd desktop rig running it. I can gladly say it has come a long way and improved in many ways since the early days, but it still has a ways to go. Unfortunately one of the biggest obstacles is the Linux community itself which is both resistant to change and exceptionally hostile to new users.
About two years ago I was troubleshooting an audio driver that refused to work and I was asking in several Linux communities for assistance. The responses ranged from standoffish to indifferent to several people outright saying "If you can't even figure this out then maybe you shouldn't use Linux lmao". And I agree. Maybe I shouldn't. Because I was tired of spending so much time screwing around in a terminal while talking to people that think I am trash for struggling to use the operating system they claim is so good.
Linux can be an extremely polished, smooth, and effective experience but that experience is like the frozen surface of a lake. Once something goes wrong and you break through the surface - you are screwed unless you are highly experienced already. That has been my experience, at least.
Makes me happy that I see many of these brands and products in my local stores. Some of which I already buy.
Also when it comes to food, I suggest people seek out local bakers, butchers, and produce markets. You will get better quality goods and possibly save a buck too.
This. People keep talking about Trump's actions like he's a screaming child let loose in a candy shop but his actions have been calculated, swift, decisive, and effective. In a matter of days he has put the US into the weakest position it has been in decades. This was planned.
They've been doing big things with the Mac lineup in recent years. Macbooks, both Pro and Air, have gotten major design shakeups and improved processors. The Mini just got a new design and hardware as well. Oh yeah, and they've officially ended the 8gb minimum RAM so that's a big boost to new purchasers.
Meanwhile the iPhone has hardly changed for numerous generations now. All they really do is shuffle the camera bumps around and add in AI that nobody asked for. I have an iPhone myself but it doesn't exactly spark much joy for me. It is a very sterile, unenthusiastic device and I get that impression from every one of their recent models. They are stagnating badly, imo. My 14P still has 100% battery health and loads every single app practically instantly. Why the hell would I get a new device? Especially when they are like $1,000+
Beautiful!
