Are there any west coast servers that would have a better ping to BC, Canada?

Curious if I should join a crew I met on Nova, or just find a lower ping server.

I am seeing stoneheart at 69 (where I have an old character) and Nova at 104 for some reason.

Both of those honestly seem quite high as I have fiber to home internet connection.

I was playing on an east coast server (orsippus) when the game came out and there was MAD rubber banding and glitches in combat...

Any other suggestions for servers with active communities on west coas?

Mostly interested in PVE. Also looking for a fun crew to play through the early game and harko quests with ;)

Iced matcha latte tastes like plastic in Canada?

Hey all quick Q:

I have been an iced matcha latte drinker for ever (grande, skim milk, one pump if syrup - thanks for asking!).

I noticed this past week or so that they have a weird plasticky taste or possibly smell.

Did not have this taste maybe 2 weeks ago.

In BC Canada.

Anyone else notice this or know how to share feedback?

Deeply disappointing as I have been on their matcha forever as I travel a ton and they have been the only consistent place over the years...

Watching nilhaus videos on "killing the space casino" and I just realized that I never cared about the quality system...

... am I the only one?

He also mentioned that spaceage means you basically don't need trains as you just make everything on vulcanus that you would have made on nauvis and... I also really don't like that change in hindsight.

Anyone else feel this way or am I on my own here?

Just curious as I want to get back into the game after basically only 1 run through spaceage when it came out...

Hey, I'm nice and in Vancouver! What's the nicest thing you experienced here recently?

Here is mine:

Waiting in a lobby for a client meeting to start and chatting with receptionist. She is about to become and grandma and was talking about the baby shower she was throwing. I mentioned I had a friend having one soon and she shared some ideas about games and activities.

Fast forward to leaving client meeting and she stops me and has printed out all the materials for ALL the games she was running. Jelly bean guessing, alphabet guessing games, who will the baby be more like, mom or dad across various characteristics.

All during her assuredly busy workday out of sheer kindness... <3...
