  1. Sony offers full refunds. lmao

     

    I haven't played Cyberpunk 2077, but all the drama makes me laugh, and I say that as a Witcher 3 fan.

      Never buy a brand new game - wait a few days. Exercise a little self control, patience, and let others be the guinea pigs. It could save you a colossal headache, lost hours, and your money. R* is the exception to this rule currently but they aren't infallible either.

  2. Why is Canucks Twitter harassing Brandi Holtby? She deleted her account? Was this seriously over a mask?

  3. Cody Hodgson is still getting paid in the NHL. Two players under contract until 2028.. Dipeitro & Ehrhoff.

      It's great work if you can get it - getting paid for doing nothing.

      Thanks everyone. Happy Birthday to you as well, T Mac. Mine is much the same way - it's an ordinary day to me for the most part - has been that way since late high school. I'm always welcoming but if not much happens, that is fine, I don't care to do much for it or expect it

  7. Is there a way of verifying customs/duty fees for bringing something across the border? Or does it vary on every item? Talking about electronics here.

      Thanks for all that. In the end it was cheaper to go local as possible thru Newegg. Even with their duty and shipping fees I got my computer under $1900. Through the States it was going to likely be over $2000.

      Ok. I'll take all these things into consideration and see what I can do.

      well.. the calculator is reading 12% tax. Says nothing about duty. This looks like a terrible route to go.

      Support tells me 5%, the calculator tells me 12%, and Internet forums tell me 15-25%. So 15-25% on ~$2000 purchase is obviously much bigger than 5%.. 

      I probably won't do this although going through the States is initially cheaper. The border being closed is really jerking me around here..

      Not to mention they obviously have no intention on doing this long term, if at all..

  14. It’s sad that we’ve gotten to a point in society where athletes have to not play games to help bring awareness to racism.

      Sitting out for two days has as much impact in a positive way as doing nothing. All this managed to do was upset even more people.

  16. Price gouging? $200 for a 30 minute cleaning at the dentist. 

    1. Tortorella's Rant

      yeah, maybe, still seems excessive. Some high priced hookers don't cost that much over the hour.

      Why do they?

      It seems extreme to me. 30 minutes - the dental assistant's labor - a bit of product used - $200 please.

      I never knew how much it cost until the other day when I switched insurance providers and got an email notification indicating they covered the whole thing. Blew my socks off at the cost of it.

  19. The NHL is looking at the possibility of having every game played in BC :emot-parrot: and not just in Vancouver places like Kelowna, Kamloops, Victoria, PG etc., all could be hosts since they have WHL rinks and facilities.

      How cool would it be to see Ovechkin on your local rink.

      Just kidding. You can't go watch him personally. Durrr

      Razor it 'short' if you can. If you are quarantined for the next month then it doesn't have to be perfect and it'll grow back considerably by then if you aren't a fan of short hair. Not many people are going to be seeing you during this time period anyway.
