  • Battlefield 1, I liked its slower-paced combat and need for teamwork for things like ships and the heavy bomber (original, not the super heavy).

    It was different than almost all contemporary shooters, and I really found that refreshing. It also had a strong art design and really looked the part for WW1, even if some of the weapons were prototypes or team weapons (which should have been cut, imo) or vehicles were tweaked for gameplay (understandable, the German tanks were extremely tippy, and the French tanks were slower IRL)






  • It’s like car valet, but they take your bike and store it in a secure location and hand you a slip of paper with a number on it. A person or two guards the secure location. Usually they are pop-ups at major bike junctions for things like university games, major sporting events, big festivals, bike-focused events and ribbon cutting events.

    However, cities like Vancouver BC have seasonal ones that run all summer in shopping areas like Granville Island. They essentially prevent bike theft entirely.




  • Our city is fairly dense, so unfortunately there’s no room to build extra parking or even new roads. We have been forced to get creative, but the benefit is that a lot more people are using bikes and rail now that the city core has bike lanes that can get you just about anywhere. The latest development is that women and children are starting to bike in our city, which is a promising sign for safety (North American city).

    Our city is still struggling to marry up mass transit with last mile transit such as bikes, ebikes and other PEVs. The buses and trains are starting to get bike racks that can accommodate modern bikes, but it’s still difficult to find bike lockers or bike valet services downtown, and it’s still too easy to get your bike nicked.


  • I really liked mine, it was fucking awesome… but a 5¢ ribbon connector failed (understandable) and Samsung only allows repair places to replace both internal and external screens and the hinge mechanism for $600 (not understandable).

    I ended up getting a moto stylus 5g for $250 and threw the fold right into the landfill.

    It is excellent for reading the paper, but make sure you get one from a company that allows for repairability. I never abused my phone or even dropped it.
