Hard to believe how bad MEC has gotten. Some prices are triple what they used to be, for notably worse quality equipment!

And though some staff are friendly now, the repair/service desk used to be welcoming and useful. Zippers were never a problem to get repaired, and so on. Now? 0/10, would not interact with again. Not just unhelpful, but insulting.

Any advice for outdoors equipment in the Lower Mainland, when second-hand sources aren't panning out? Lee Valley?

Online-only retailers are not suitable this time.

"One supplier to MEC tells CityNews on Friday that the news of the sale comes as no surprise. According to the supplier, the company has not paid its invoices in months and is currently on hold in their credit department."

A versão não propagandista de bigtech da RNP só me dá orgulho!😀

Um projeto que nasceu de uma pesquisa acadêmica e se tornou realidade em 2022. Em um momento em que todos os olhares se voltam para a Amazônia, uma infovia de 770 km de cabos de fibra óptica foi implantada no leito do Rio Amazonas, interligando cinco cidades, formando uma rede que poderá beneficiar até 1 milhão de pessoas. Uma infraestrutura de comunicações jamais vista na região Norte, com baixo impacto ambiental e grande impacto social.
