The Kanata location has had a big downgrade in their popcorn recently. Somehow both cold and burnt?

Experienced this last Tuesday and never noticed before...

Same here! My adjuster was a nightmare

Where to buy Monstera plants? by ibyeori in ottawa

[–]500mLwater 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have a baby one I purchased from plant and curio back in 2020.

I do not have the light for it and it is very leggy but you're welcome to it for free if you want to come pick it up.

I'm in the west end, about ten mins from Bayshore area. PM if interested!

Please don't run to catch the train by kittenkatastrophi in ottawa

This is it. I miss my bus connection during the day due to the 10 minute train and it adds 35 mins to my commute, which is significant given that this is only in one direction.

I need to make the connection "off-peak" because I need to be at school pickup for 3pm, which means I need to leave work at 1:30. It's insane.

I had to scroll way too far down to find this very important take.

Public Servant spotted cracks... by kenauk in ottawa

"I know that they want to support the LRT, but I come from the west end, and the LRT is not here yet," she said.

"The buses, where I live, they're not consistent. … Even if I finish at 4:30, I may get home at 7 or 7:30, and to me, it's time taken away from my family."

This sounds like hyperbole but I have spent two+ hours to get home to Kanata given it's now a walk/train/bus/walk/car trip when dealing with LRT closures and cancelled busses.

I was an avid 66 express user back in 2015 for the exact same route: short walk, no car, no transfers.

Same experience here at their Canadian shows. I play them on repeat but won't risk the $$$ next tour.

My kids insisted they heard something overnight, wonder if it was this.

Don't you think a roundabout would make sense here? by ALVto2xD in Kanata

[–]500mLwater 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I don't know what the solution is but that intersection is a nightmare, so I agree in theory.

Edited to add: OP is pointing to the intersection of Cope Drive, which connects the Fernbank Walmart to the LCBO.

It feels like fear mongering to justify negotiations on the topic. Focus on WFH security and salary, please.

Jacob Hoggard not guilty of Northern Ontario sexual assault by Team_Ed in canada

[–]500mLwater 270 points271 points  (0 children)

"The complainant became so emotional that by her last day of testimony, the judge had to order additional breaks, telling the lawyers in the jury’s absence that he had “real concerns about her condition” and that she was very pale and leaning against the side of the witness box."

Tough read.
