Last one of these for the summer.

No idea if it’s any good but out of the ones we’ve randomly seen, there was only one we didn’t enjoy. Genre doesn’t really matter to us, and free is free ¯\(ツ)/¯
Yep that’s the downside, I know fuckall about Linux relatively speaking, so I was lucky CachyOS just ran it and my wired controller got recognized.
You could already run the firmware updater with Proton/Wine though? At least I didn’t have an issue with that, but its obviously not helpful to everyone considering the many flavours of linux. Nice that they recognize and are at least trying to address the issue though
Is there any real source for these? That article link does not exist
FWIW thanks to your comment my view of those two pairs is now the same; one is advertised (touristy?, free shuttle from Canada place anyone?) and the other is something you have to stumble upon and enjoy (hiking for when it came to Lynn Canyon bridge, or in this case scrolling Lemmy)
Looks good enough to me and besides, you may decide to paint it with some paint that applies a relatively thick coat, which would end up filling those tiny gaps anyway. Anywho, keep going good work!
Never let perfection stand in the way of good.
Anyone else who remembers this better from “Cow &chicken” correct me, but this is what I recall “dad” exclaiming:
“Well, shave my legs and call me grandpa”
Well oligopoly in the market, but I guess you can …umm…turn that 10k into profit iykwim
Let me guess, repeat offenders bit is there to ensure genuine protesters (not some asswipe convoyturds) get to never protest again after being arrested a few times.
What a Dyck
Ikwym …I only checked as I was writing my original response and was disappointed myself.
They did open one during COVID actually IIRC, we went there at the time since everything was always empty but the choice of products (at the time) was poor. No idea what it’s like now, it’s kinda out of the way of any route we take to get anywhere so generally not worth a stop.
Good shout. I do know Lowa are, or at least some models(?), made in central Europe. I did like some design from them but it was seemingly impossible to find in lower mainland BC to try back then.
It’s been a while since I looked myself (not using the ones I bought all that often so they look almost new), but I don’t recall coming across any Canadian ones unfortunately.
At first I thought, Arcteryx has been doing some hiking shoes/boots, but they haven’t been Canadian owned for over 2 decades and I found them a bit too gimmicky personally.
As for what to look for, you need to realize what you find comfortable. For example I need arch support and wider toebox. You’re gonna be wearing them for extended periods of time and you don’t want blisters/discomfort.
I ended up trying a bunch in various shops and ordering a pair of Danners (not Canadian) online from a place where I could do free return, in case they didn’t fit. It was the closest to my need, but I still had to get additional insoles for arch support.
Once you think you got it figured out, do yourself a favour and wear them at home for a few days, and see if anything is rubbing etc. “Breaking shoes in” is bollocks, mine were leather and didn’t require any breaking in.
Hope that helps at least a little bit
Meh suggestions, find a farmland nearby where you live and see if there are any rivers with dykes and go for a stroll there. The parking along them isn’t usually too big though.
As an example you can lookup Harris road bridge or Neaves road in Pitt Meadows on the map as there several spots along to go stargazing/observe meteor shower.
Word of warning, I am not sure how much I can recommend those two specifically anymore as they did get very busy last summer during peak…unless you come out before nautical/astronomical twilight.
Holy shit that first example… CSIS is full of idiots… I guess no surprise there. Waaahh we need to track people… but let’s make random private company do the tracking cuz that’s a brilliant idea.
