I agree. That thing was HUGE. I have tiny hands too, and always struggled with it.
I also didn’t really like the N64 controller, it was kind of a weird size too, and it just had a weird layout.

They don’t marry them, they just diddle them underage on exotic island compounds.
Cons just care about the kid until they are born. Not one second longer than that.
It would be a massive loss for sure. One that will be felt for a long time. It’s the only way I can get around our thoroughly enshittified press up here in Canada. I mean I’d gladly pay, if it was worth paying for, which it’s not.
It’s actually the mods that did it for me. If you don’t have this really weird super specific but vague world view, and you can’t follow 143 different rules (some not specified), then they start censoring you and temp banning your comments and contributions. The mods on my community sub actually permabanned me when I questioned them on it, instead of discussing it. After that I was like this is infuriating, and I don’t really want to participate here. Problem is, they mod anything related to said topic, like city, province, country, most political parties, quite a few special interest topics, etc. Its super weird behaviour.
Rogers would sell their own mothers to get rid of those broadcasting rights all together. It has not been the boon they thought it was going to be. American side, they’ve been dealing with huge downturns in numbers too (one of their regional broadcast partners even went broke, and most fingers are pointing at the cost of these rights).
So it’s onto the streamers. Who’ll inevitably start putting paywalls on top of it, which will likely drive away quite a lot of fans. I’m already getting sick of being nickel and dimed by these streaming companies, who multiply by the day and their greed has led them to overtake the evil they were supposed to be replacing (cable). It’ll be the start of the NHL downfall in fact, and likely Bettman’s swan song. That’s my prediction.
This has to be the 39th iteration of Alberta’s rail transport plan. It’s just a shift and deflect away from her authoritarian changes in other areas last week (mainly her plan to introduce political interference into the municipalities) .
Anytime a conservative government gets caught doing hood-rat shit in Alberta, it feels like step 1 of the playbook is, “Hey look everyone, a Monorail!!”
I’ll believe it when I see it. In the meantime don’t give her credit for shit she didn’t come up with, or never plans to actually follow through with.
Northern grocers are horrifying. Don’t need a study to tell me that. Food handling and storage rules? If they are convenient, or if they get a heads up that the inspector is coming (and they get a big heads up on that, because the inspectors need somewhere to stay, plus they probably hit everyone else up on the way). If the item you are after is anything popular or in demand, it’s 2x-4x the price anywhere else is paying.
It’s hard to organize bulk shipping in normal locations. It’s absolutely a dumpster fire in some of these northern communities. The one I lived in, the bulk shipping guy was notoriously unreliable. You just can’t risk it sometimes, especially when it comes to anything of value or that has a shelf life. Buddy goes on a two week long bender in Edmonton on the way and meanwhile you and half the community are absolutely fucked waiting for whatever you are getting. Amazon meanwhile wants to charge you twice what the price is for the item to ship it, because Canada Post absolutely bends them over too. And they are pretty unreliable as well. It gets there when it gets there. Might be two days, might be two months. It’s not always an easy problem to solve, even with bulk orders.
I mean technically it is, but I’ve been on the other end of this too. You want to talk about fraud, you should see what some of these northern communities charge for things. Canada Post just absolutely rapes you for shipping too, and that’s 100% what this is about. It’s got nothing to do with fairness.
Sega Master System. A kid never forgets his first video game system, and nothing has quite scratched that itch ever since.
The marketing has been pretty weird. Lots at release, then basically nothing.
If you want to sell something in a competitive landscape, even high schoolers know this simple fact in one easy step…
The shareholders need to start calling out the clear bias of the boards constitution. Vanguard and iShares combined hold more shares than Elon does. It’s clearly doable, it’s just time for some adults in the room. If you hold Vanguard and iShares etfs in your accounts, don’t be afraid to let them know this.
This reminds me of all the Facebook led fuel protests ala 2007. None of those were successful btw, fuels still expensive as shit.
It’s got to be pretty god damn insulting for sure.
I currently live in a province in Canada, that is currently ruled by a government that is governing under what’s basically an MO of Covid and vaccine revenge.
There’s no hope for humanity. Absolutely none. That’s my lesson from Covid. The majority of the people around me, my neighbours, etc, are basically all incapable of logical thought and highly susceptible to disinformation and rogue actors.
Grab a Chromecast or almost any cheap streaming device of your choice, Tivimate and IPTV. Find a really good reliable IPTV provider for your area and you won’t really have issues.
*rubbing hands together" Oh this is going to be good.
That said, people are fucking stupid, especially when it comes to money.
Right on. Well look, I hope it’s a great trip for you guys. Travel safe and vacation hard!
There were some cheap ass weird ones in North America too. I remember for Christmas we’d ask for a Joycon or something like that, and we’d get “the Joycron,” which looked nothing like a controller, had a weird shape, felt like shit and was cheap as hell. The old man would be like, arrrr we saw it at the BiWay and it was 99 cents, why do you need the one thats $60? Then he would play it, and sure enough, by February you had the real one.
