Victoria (BC, Canada) cyclists furious after finding screws and nails left on purpose on new bike lane - Canadian Cycling Magazine in c/bicycles@lemmy.ca

Damn, fasteners are expensive nowadays. I'll head down there and clean them up for free!

I know I'm in the minority, but did anyone not like the most recent 2 Zelda games? in c/zelda@lemmy.ml

BOTW was my first Zelda game. I hated the item degradation, but everything else about the game was so good that I eventually got over that

From the image it does look like a 15-pin vga cable, which would have been an uncommon thing to require gender bending. It was a lot more common for DB9 and DB15 serial ports.

I probably still have boxes of such things somewhere. Yeah, back in the 1990's we had all kinds of not-politically-correct nicknames for various cables and adapters.

Buy (or clone) a couple of Amiibos and you'll get some decent weapon drops every day.

Can somebody explain White Rock business failures? (lemmy.ca)
 

As predictable as the tide's ebb and flow is new White Rock restaurants opening and failed White Rock restaurants closing. I understand the obvious reasons why some businesses fail: too much competition, high rent, lack of customers during winter or bad weather, razor-thin margins.

But there's a couple White Rock businesses that seem to be stillborn and I'm curious why:

  • Seed and Stone (a weed shop on west beach) had their sign on a store for months and months, but it never opened. The sign recently disappeared.
  • Chef Tian's (east beach) has had a big sign on the the building for a year, but has never opened.

I'm presuming that both businesses spent money on a lease and spent money putting up signs, so I'm curious what prevented them from opening.
