I miss the games in the style of "The Magical Quest" for the SNES. Tight platforming, multiple abilities, and good boss fights. Bringing back good licensed content is a win.

You're going to need to provide a screenshot of what you're seeing. Taking a screenshot shows the default behavior on my end, opening the regular style sheet.

This isn't unique to Victoria. This is the reality everywhere.

The situation has been developing for 10 years, and a critical lack of underfunding for front line staff, training for new staff, and adherence to staff/ratio is the culprit. Nurses are overworked, where it's not uncommon for the normal ward nurses to not be 4:1, but 8:1+. It's unsafe for the patients, and if they have more than one patient that is anything more than stable, it spins out of control quickly.

Meanwhile, every health authority I've seen has layers upon layers of middle management. Managers for managers. Their offices take away space from actual beds, and their salaries outstrip most front line staff.

So the nurses that are there are seeing an increased injury rate, a skyrocketing burnout rate, and we continue to circle the drain. It's going to take a lot of political will and time to pull out of this.

I love the Muppets. I wish Disney used them more.

I wonder if they have any idea how to translate what made the Muppets so special in their time to a modern day. There is a zaniness and levity to them that most struggle with, combines with a grounded cultural commentary. It's satire, parody, and hopeful comedy mixed together; and it's super tricky.

Muppets Mayhem is a good start, but I really wish they'd make human actors less campy at the same time. Jason Segal got this part right.

Starting in December, single-use items such as plastic shopping bags, disposable food service accessories, oxo-degradable plastics and food service packaging made of polystyrene foam, PVC, PVDC, compostable or biodegradable plastics will no longer be allowed to be sold in B.C.

This is needed both in the short and long term. I'll be curious to see what solutions pop up to replace what we've become used to.

Like provomeister said, it sounds like you've got a port forwarding issue -- and all of your traffic is going through the Plex relay. They limit those streams to 2mbps. When you set up the new install, did you configure the port to be the same as the old server?

So it's a network problem, not a computer/format problem.

I really wish we lived in boring times.

It is so fascinating how Trump seemed to never want to win in 2016, yet somehow was the least incompetent Republican candidate. Then his life devolved from there, as if each bad decision just kept having more children until he was so overwhelmed he was a victim to his own personal sunken cost fallacy.

So here we are. A clear criminal whose only chance to remain free is to become the leader of the largest economy and military on earth.

Boring times seem so comforting now.

The game is open -- so I can choose to start the software without updating. I believe if I close the game, it will update automatically.

I saw the update pop up this morning, but I haven't updated myself yet. Have more items to duplicate using the arrow glitch before I grab this.

As strange as it sounds, Islanders would be up in arms over a bridge. It would drastically change the culture of Vancouver Island, and essentially turn the central island into a suburb of Vancouver.
