What's the best site for Super Sentai Mecha/Megazord toys that ship to Canada ? Mini-Pla and Super Mini-Pla are okay

Basically as the title says, tempted to get some older Mecha from Power Rangers shows I grew up with and Super Sentai's output is probably the best bet after Hasbro has shit the bed with the franchise.

But navigating Japanese language sites when Chrome's translator doesn't always kick in becomes a bear when figuring if they even ship to my country .

(And no shipping to the USA and crossing the border to pickup is not viable for the next 2.5 years, I don't feel safe crossing ).

So if anyone knows which sites will ship to my country and have a decent selection of the mecha toys, I would greatly appreciate it.

I think the last scene of the latest episode unintentionally gave a smoking gun that Superboy this time around is NOT a clone/a secret ploy by Lex.

So like a lot of you were all still on the fence if this Superboy will be the clone route or the son of Clark and Lois .

With arguments/evidence one way or another.

Some arguing that with all of Clarks talk of marriege, a farm and a kid, that of course Lois will be pregnant soon.

Others feeling that the classic 90's clone Superboy has more to do with the Death/Return of Superman that this season seems to be a retelling of.

Others are leaning towards it being the son route with a fakeout to really being a clone by Lex either future or present to mess with Clark.

Except..... the last scene of episode 3 showed something that would work against a secret ploy by Lex to trick everyone.

Future Jimmy Olsen and Future John Henry Irons fighting to protect them long enough to send back in time.

Any ploy by a present Lex would NEVER have them on his side.

As releasing Superboy into the wild with his "assumed" mission would mean he would willingly search the two men out as he knows them in the future and trusts them to be let in on the secret, risking any potential scheming Lex has.

If this truly was a ploy , it would be "future" DeathStroke or maybe a early cameo Mercy Graves defending them to send Superboy back.

People subservient to Lex who would follow his lies.

Maybe I am overthinking this and I am missing something.

But I think appearance of two men that Lex really really does not get along with protecting him and Superboy , leans me towards this being legitimate time travel and likely uninvolved cloning.

Are there any local decent bakeries that open as early as 7am on weekdays?

Long story short, a few months into a new job and wanting to endear myself to New co-workers with treats. It's too hot for most of summer for me to be personally baking. So buying is the next best option. Which I have done a few times. Unfortunately I have to with most days with traffic be on the road shortly after 7 to be on time and many places don't open until after work has started. Sure I can grab on lunch but that limits options within lunch break time. If anyone knows any decent bakeries in town that are open super early is greatly appreciate it. Sorry for poor formatting, I'm on mobile.

If I want to start with Bridge Commander Remastered should I install Orion or Delta Orion?

So watching Retro Badgers videos on Bridge Commander remastered have me interested and with the GOG summer sale I can get it on cheap.

I understand the two biggest mods are Orion and Delta Orion.

I want to try and figure out which one is better to install first for some one who has never played Bridge Commander before?

Or is one of them currently more or less stable then the other?

Any feedback and insight would be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone actually like it in Fire Emblem where Enemy reinforcements can move and attack on the same turn they spawn?

So taking another crack at FE6 to finally beat it and mark it off my checklist after so many years when I first attempted on a fan modified cartridge with the English script .

I am doing this emulated this time in large part due to the above mentioned topic title.

Enemy reinforcements being able to act on the same turn they spawn.

Already ran into quite badly in chapter 4 with Rutger spawning close to my main forces and having to reload my saves like 5/6 times to maneuver the few units on the turn before he spawns where they all end up surviving not eating a critical from him.

Similarly from my earlier attempts at FE6 I remember 11B in particular where I have to rush to the sound to save the fleeing villagers, not let Bartre die and keep all my units alive.

After a few attempts I finally pull it off, everyone is at the bottom of the map, only the boss left to defeat.

Now most of my units need healing, so I figure heal up next turn, and then beat the boss and clear the chapter....only for a freaking bandit to spawn, go up to a nearly dead Dorothy and one shot her dead.

Suffice to say I was pissed and you can see why its taken me a while to come back.

This time around I plan to save scumm hard and arena abuse to give myself a edge against the games cheapness.

But I am curious if anyone does actually like it when the enemy can attack before you can react.

For me personally, Fire Emblem challenges should come from how you react to challenges put in front of you, you can be surprised, but with the unit cap disparity in most missions, you should have the fairness of being able to have a full turn to plan out your defense/counterattack.

32 [M4F] #Canada BC British Columbia Lower Mainland Fraser Valley Anyone else indoors to stay cool the past few days ?

I am definitely a creature of Spring/winter . I don't like sweating up a flood with the muggy weather.

But if I am inside trying to stay cool I might as well put myself out there.

Feeling a lot more confident these days since starting a new job.

Got to love the current job market /S .

(Note going forward I am firmly liberal leaning, I do not tolerate bigotry , homophobia, misogyny, and disrespect to those in the service industry.)

I am also on the east side of the Port Mann Bridge which I know is a dealbreaker for many, so I don't want to mislead anyone .

Not for me , as I do drive, but I know for many its a factor.

(I'd also prefer to talk with people only in BC. I am sure people outside are great, its just the logistics of international travel add up, the size of Canada for interprovince relationships and well the mess in the states right now, dating anyone in the USA right now is not practical currently. )

As stated in the title, 32, 6'4 tall, broad shoulders, bit of a thicker frame (walking now that its cooler in the evenings, plus its nice to disconnect from the devices for a bit ), dark brown hair, hazel eyes, Caucasian.

Attaching photo so you can get a idea what I look like

https://imgur.com/a/JHLCv4p

Work in IT support which is always a interesting field with the stories I could tell.

Interests of mine including reading , video games (sucker for strategy games and RPG's), walking to get in some cardio, video editing, baking and BBQing (and yes if we do become long term I promise to make you sweet baked goods ;) You can see some of what I have made in my other posts) .

Kind of hard to put into words what I am looking for, I think besides having similar ethical and moral lines and having overlap in our interests, I think I want to be sure we feel comfortable with each other.

With my height and broad shoulders, I can come off as intimidating I am fully aware. So I want whoever I may be with to not be scared, its a odd thing to look for I know. But I think its important.

If anyone of this sounds interesting please let me know and I would be happy to talk more.

P.S Just as its come up with some in the past ,I do hope to have kids one day. Whether or not that is feasible in this economy who can say, but I know for many its a deal breaker so I figure I would bring it up early.

With half Elf Paladin. How optimal/suboptimal is pairing?

Basically as the title says. I'm still working through the EE editions of Baldur's Gate 1 and 2. But I think it's looking like my human CHARNAME paladin is going to end up with Aerie. I was considering role-playing my Paladin in BG3 as the half Elf grandson or great grandson of my protagonist from the first two games. What I want to know is compared to doing a plain vanilla human Paladin how much more optimal or suboptimal would a half Elf be in the class. Will I be restricted out of any kinds of armor or weapons or is there any kinds of nice racial bonuses I will get that compliment well with the class? Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Also sorry for the poor formatting I'm doing this on the mobile.

GOG summer sale. No discount, will there be one likely later

Sorry for the words of the title I had limited characters. In short because it just started today I poked at the summer sale on gog.com . And I see it's still being sold at full price. for those who have been dealing with this game longer than I have it's just more of a case where it's not going to go on sale for this event or will it be a flash sale like only for 8 hours. I have been wanting to get this game for a long time now but I have been waiting for a discount of some kind. so is it better to keep an eye on gog.com for a flash sale or wait until next week with steam and hope there's some kind of decent discount?

So with the leadup to the Switch releases, are any of the DLC offerings with the price ?

Apologies if this has been asked a lot.

Hoping to get Time Stranger next month its out on Switch and looking at the DLC mostly has me feeling cold.

Most of the outfits are ehh to me (though the Tai from adventure one is tempting to put on my MC I will admit).

The USB and Bonds are just getting stuff early I can get in game I gather or at least comparable like the USBS.

And the story ones from what I am told are incredibly short for the price and unlike other games, getting more monster options doesn't do much here as the base roster is already so high I will have a hard time choosing my endgame team.

And do we really need more Omnimon alts...honestly do we?

Also does anyone actually like the Bancho evolutions ?

But that is just my opinion has someone who hasn't played the game yet outside of the demo, so I would love peoples opinions a few months in now if they feel any of the DLC are worth it.

Is the upcoming Theatrical Gkids theater release of Adolescence of Utena going to have on any of its North American days the English dub audio track shown?

Please lets not start a Sub VS Dub fight, I am too tired and considering Utena's dub VA passed away not too long ago, lets all have some decorum.

So at least in my area the movie is showing on the 21st and 23rd of June.

(Canada before you ask)

Yet nowhere either in the website or youtube trailer do I see specific mention of the cast, just the original Japanese audio.

I have a soft spot for the utter drug trip that is the movie and the English Dub for all its flaws is part of that.

If anyone has any confirmed information I would greatly appreciate it.

As is I am looking at a 2 hour round trip to see this if I do so , and if its sub only I can't justify that .

Is there any oil change/tire rotation/mechanics in Abbotsford/Mission/Aldegrove open at 7AM or earlier?

*Rubs eyes, I know likely no.

But figured it couldn't hurt to ask.

Long story short I think I need a tire retoque and a oil change as my car was acting up today, it was a whole ordeal.

The problem being is I got a new job in Langley that starts the shift at 8AM and live in Abby and I am debating if I can wait until lunch time to get it looked on Fraser Highway at one of the several places there .

So is there any places that are open early in the area that I can leave early and do on my way to work?

Sincere thanks in advance

Has any fan made a mockup of Timeship Two from Department of Temporal Investigations: Forgotten History book? The description of using a ad hoc bunch of Constitution engines to make a time machine sounds interesting.

Taken from the first few chapters of the book:

Bolded sections for description.

Seems like a fascinating engineering mess to see visually.

Alisov rose and stared at the screen as the image became clearer. Garcia’s dark eyes widened at the sight. It did have a familiar sort of shape to it, a cylindrical main hull with two nacelles rising from the rear on short pylons. Teresa turned to her fellow agent. “Temporal Integrity Commission again?”

“No,” Ranjea said. “This design is far less advanced. It seems—”

“It can’t be,” Alisov interrupted. As the image came into full clarity, Garcia had to agree. The main hull was a tapered cylinder with a glowing, recessed deflector dish on the front and a fantail rear. Navigational sensor domes were mounted on the top and bottom of the cylinder. Extending upward from the rear, on two short, boxy pylons, was a pair of cylindrical engine nacelles whose forward Bussard collectors were red domes with faint, swirling patterns of light inside them.

“My God,” said Alisov. “It looks like someone took the engineering hull of an old Constitution-class ship and converted it to work on its own. Look,” she said as the ship slowly tumbled to present its rear. “They’ve installed an impulse engine where the hangar deck would be. But it’s inconsistent. The warp engines are a design from the sixties—sorry, twenty-two sixties—and the basic hull configuration fits that era. But the impulse engines, the deflector dish, the sensor domes, the hull plating, they’re early seventies. Why keep outmoded warp engines and update the rest?”

The DTI agents traded a look. Alisov knew this technology firsthand. Like Garcia, she and many of the Everett’s crew were temporal refugees, trapped in a time loop for ninety years when they’d served aboard the U.S.S. Bozeman. The Department had a way of attracting strays. Alisov had been the Bozeman’s chief engineer, and had risen through the ranks on the types of starship she was describing.

“There’s more,” Peterson said, her voice hushed. “I ran a comparison on that warp signature. It matches one we have in our records.”

“Well?” Alisov prompted when Peterson was slow to continue.

Heather swallowed. “The warp signature matches the configuration of the warp propulsion units used in the late twenty-two sixties by the U.S.S. Enterprise . . . NCC-one-seven-oh-one.”

Garcia gaped at Ranjea, who looked uncharacteristically shocked himself. Teresa remembered the DTI joke that all temporal investigations eventually led to the Enterprise. It was an exaggeration, and was meant to apply to all starships of that name, which tended to have a disproportionate involvement with temporal phenomena. But it mostly applied to the Federation’s first Enterprise, NCC-1701, whose captain—James Tiberius Kirk—was infamous in the DTI for having seventeen separate temporal violations attached to his name, a record unrivaled by any other individual in the DTI’s files.

“But this doesn’t make sense,” Garcia said. Her training was recent enough that the lectures on Kirk’s infamous ship were still fresh in her memory. “The Enterprise was never turned into . . . into this. It was refitted into a new configuration and served a dozen more years before Kirk scuttled it in the Mutara Sector.”

“That’s . . . not the only thing that doesn’t make sense,” Ranjea told her. “Look.”

The ship’s tumbling had brought its hull markings into view. Garcia read them, but couldn’t process them. Couldn’t believe them.

Timeship Two FDTIX-02 United Federation of Planets “‘FDTI’?”

Alisov echoed. “Federation . . .” Ranjea nodded. There was only one thing those letters had ever stood for in Federation usage. “Department of Temporal Investigations.”

What store is the best in town for good beer/alcohol prices? I don't drink alcohol, but getting a case for someone doing me a solid a while back and I don't know what is a good/bad price.

Basically as the title says, I don't drink personally (nothing against it, I just don't like to lose control and I already eat unhealthy foods , adding alcohol is asking for trouble).

But someone did me a solid a while back and when I asked to pay for their services, they said to just when things go through to get them a case of beer.

Well I like to fulfill my obligations, so when I am out next I will get a case (probably ask BIL for his input on what brand ).

But I have no clue what is a good price for beer/where to go looking. Is it the liquor store on Sumas Way, SevenOaks, High Street, the Save on Food with the alcohol department...I really don't know.

So any knowledge those better versed would be greatly appreciated .

What's a piece of technology that you always seem to have trouble finding in person when you need in a hurry? For me its USB A to micro USB B. When I need them for external hard drives I have to scour several stores.

What are some pieces of tech for your personal or work needs that you always find a bear to find locally and have to often resort to ordering online?
