Yes this is my biggest complaint of the ecosystem. Many games are difficult to play with the controller even if they are verified. For one: I wish there was an easier way to change the joystick acceleration curve for each game.

I use an Electra Cruiser as my commuter.
It is very comfortable and easy to ride. It has a really nice low gear so I just take my time going up hills.
Their reception in urban areas is great (but not excellent). Many of their plans now include Nationwide which means they piggy back off other carriers for areas where they don't provide their own service.
I have been with them for more than a decade because their value can't be beat.
The biggest negative for me is their customer service over the phone. Their operators seem to stumble at doing anything and have mediocre English skills. I try to do everything via their website.
All the trolley bus routes were originally streetcar routes built out a century ago. Tbh I'm not aware of them ever installing new trolley bus routes.
Trolley lines are going to be expensive to install and maintain. Even without fast chargers they still need similar equipment to convert to DC for the trolley wires.
A quick search gave me a TransLink report which probably has some good details: https://www.translink.ca/-/media/translink/documents/about-translink/policies/translink_low_carbon_fleet_transition_plan_2020_02_24.pdf
Ultimately a waste of police resources.
I have been waiting for this since they hinted at it months ago and I am happy with what I see. The minimum zoning rules are solid.
With regards to the removal of public hearings for spot rezonings that match the community plan, and requirement that community plans reflect the 20 year need for housing - I hope these are as impactful as I understand them to be. I hope to see a lot more density being built, more quickly.
Helen Lui has been hitting it out of the park with her recent articles. She is a good one to follow on Twitter for this type of stuff, too.
Love it. This was one of my fav games of my childhood. I only finally beat it after I came back to it as an adult so I can relate to the scene in this photo.
I still know so many of the hidden lives and power ups.
Yes, there are so many things that can be added to OpenStreetMap and we would love more help! I would start by asking: what do you use OSM for? or, what would you like to see more of in OSM?
I am a frequent OSM contributor in Vancouver. Personally I like to find a niche and work on it for a few weeks before I lose interest and find something else to map. I use the iD editor on openstreetmap.org.
I also like to pull out my phone when I am in a new neighbourhood or shopping area to see if there is anything I can add with StreetComplete or Every Door.
There are so many possible ways to contribute to OSM. I don't think the map can every be complete.
The wiki is an important guide for learning how to map more features. wiki.openstreetmap.org
Another helpful way to contribute is to upload GPS-tagged through Mapillary.
There are tools like Osmose which help identify QA issues https://osmose.openstreetmap.fr
Hit me up if you have any questions!
See Wikipedia:
The name of the highway, unlike that of Alberta Premier Peter Lougheed, is pronounced /ˈloʊhiːd/. The highway is named after Nelson Seymour Lougheed, MLA for the Dewdney District and the BC Minister of Public Works (1928–1929), who ran a logging company in the area.
Yeah... we've tried sprawl for decades and it doesn't work. We need more density: more homes and more amenities in close proximity to all rapid transit stations.
We lost our feijoa this year even though we covered and lightly heated them. They had survived colder winters but I think this time the temperature dropped too suddenly.
We lost Chilean guava last year.
I am not willing to try any more zone 8 plants in Vancouver but I haven't figured out what to replace them with.
On that note, what are everyone's favourite fruit trees/shrubs to grow in the Lower Mainland? We have figs, Italian plums, blueberries, and kiwi berries. I am considering adding pears or mulberries.
