I mean. You wanna lockdown everytime cases rise? This is becoming a flu. Which we never get rid of. Like. 55% of people double vaccinated for nothing? 75%+ single dosed. I'm not sure what the answer is here but lockdown and restrictions arnt it.



Or chill out on easing restrictions until we get the vaccine number up? Regardless, now you test positive, you don’t stay home, now you go to work. Spread it around. And the province is reducing testing significantly. That’s the plan in this province now. 4th wave is guaranteed now, when it doesn’t need to be.

in all the provinces except quebec and manitoba, the death rate for covid-19 is around the death rate of influenza now, in alberta and saskatchewan it's actually lower (the numbers are 2-3 times higher in the states)

there's been plenty of vaccine available for people now to get vaccinated, people that are getting hit hard now by the new variant are mostly people that are by choice unvaccinated, locking things down wasn't going to stop these people anyways

d2r doesnt have super high requirements so you might be able to run it on your current rig or with minor upgrades poe has a bit higher requirements though
these are the d2 reqs from blizzards launcher hows your current pc match up?
edit: i just noticed the min and recco both say windows 10 so that could be something that holds you back on an older pc i guess seems odd you NEED 10 this screenshot was from a while back wonder if its changed

Looks like I could run minimum settings, barely lol.

Going to upgrade though. It's time.

Surprised the requirements for D2 are not too intense.

Ooof

Had to replace all 4 of my summer tires all of them were 2/6 treads, only drove about 35km on it. I used the tire all year long, so it's my fault but damn. Didn't think it would only last 35k

Worst part is my lease is up in April, so gg no re.


Really seems like a ripoff.

Usually get 60-100k with tires. The last pair of tires I used extensively got 50k on them before I traded the vehicle in. Probably still ~ 60% tread left on them.

With the lease being up should go to a used tire shop and swap them.

my lease is up in feb lol and I got all seasons

someone mentioned the tire warranty and i see my tire's covered till 80k so I think I can get compensated at a pre-determined adjustment price when I replace the tires

still kind of ridiculous that with my grandpa like driving my tires will only last to 35k

Not sure if it's true or not but I heard dealerships deliberately have factory tires for new vehicles that are very soft because they offer great ride comfort and handling but come at the expense of having terrible durability.

Who knows if it is true or not. Makes sense though because it could help sell a car due to a smoother ride and sharper handling.

So covid cases are rising a bit. BC comes out today with reinstating mask mandates in the interior. Alberta cases are rising too, so they also host a press conference to announce the lifting of more mask regulations, close contacts no longer need to isolate, and now people who test POSITIVE for covid no longer have to isolate at all. Rip


If another lockout occurs in B.C it will be met with quite a bit of civil disobedience.

Over 55% of the population has received both vaccine doses.

Every week I go to the grocery store there is less and less wearing masks because it is optional. The first week or so the majority were conditioned so they just continued despite the new rules.

Now the trend has shifted the other way so you are not going to get people back on board very easily.

I don't think there will be another lockdown because the majority has followed the rules for 2+ years and patience has more than ran out.

If the Vaccines work as well as stated those who are at risk and/or wanted to be vaccinated should have little risk.

Its not deliberated lol manufacturers do send their specs to the tires company and the cheapest win but i think the real reason is the car itself is poorly built

Best example is hyundai/kia/genesis those cars rip through tires like butter for whatever reason
