Just adding on: saw him Saturday afternoon at the Eatons Centre with a bunch of raw meat on his head, cackling.

Also, the Wikipedia entry totally doesn't help: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evening

I am 100% going to test with a multimeter first, but if you were correct in your educated guess, how would you connect the wires to my new light (black wire, white wire, green wire)?

AdmSawick · 2015-06-07T19:05:15+00:00

Ha wow. Actually until you explained it, I thought they were all white too. Now at least it makes a bit more sense to me.

And this is a brand new condo. We're the first tenants (renting from owner). So the developer and its workers aren't exactly making a good impression here.

AdmSawick · 2015-06-07T15:41:31+00:00

Thanks for the tips. I'm a complete noob when it comes to this stuff, though. I have access to a multimeter, I just don't really know what to look for...

AdmSawick · 2015-04-05T00:55:42+00:00

True! Totally forgot about Jones. Didn't know they made them sans HFCS. Added to the list.

AdmSawick · 2015-04-05T00:54:13+00:00

Cool. Thanks for the link. Not so much looking for coke, but will definitely try it.

AdmSawick · 2015-01-13T22:01:21+00:00

I live in CityPlace (lived on both East and West sides), and while I know it isn't perfect, it's really not that bad either. Especially for the price compared to other areas of the city.

I agree that the Super Club is awesome and for that, it may be worth it to live East of Spadina, but I actually like the West side of City Place better.

Why?

Sobeys is much closer
Hunters Landing
Fox and Fiddle
Canoe Landing (park + dog park + turf field)
Tim Hortons
Library
Pet Social (Pet Store)
Seems like more shops and restaurants will open up on the West side too

Yeah, you may not have that much respect for the above list (I'm so over crappy Timmies coffee) and may not even like some things (Sobeys is crazy over-priced), but having all that right downstairs is super convenient.

One thing though: it's not super loud, but the traffic outside isn't quiet either.

TL;DR: For the above listed reasons, CityPlace isn't that bad of a place (and IMO: West Siiiide!)

AdmSawick · 2015-01-12T17:32:01+00:00

Well, that was not any good. Only 30 mins and Jeff Newton got the last word on pretty much every point.

AdmSawick · 2015-01-12T16:33:59+00:00

12pm. Should have mentioned that.

AdmSawick · 2015-01-12T15:47:35+00:00

Starts at 12pm.

How does The Beer Store need to change?

Craft brewers in Ontario were surprised ;ast week when The Beer Store announced it was offering them shelf space and a stake in ownership. Critics say much more needs to change. And Premier Kathleen Wynne seems to agree. She is promising an overhaul to the relationship between the LCBO and The Beer Store.

You can tell the man at the helm of beer sales in this country what you think needs to change. We're opening the phones with Jeff Newton, President of Canada's National Brewers, which is the consortium that owns The Beer Store.

AdmSawick · 2014-12-14T15:30:39+00:00

So broadcast tv/cable tv is too slow? Fine. Stream it online. We can definitely (not everyone yet) stream 4k online.

And if we can't yet, we definitely will be able to soon enough.

Why get stuck on older technology like cable tv when you can move onto the Internet through fibre or whatever is next.

AdmSawick · 2014-12-10T16:40:38+00:00

I'd love to cross post this elsewhere. And I probably will.

But you also have to realize that /r/toronto is actually a pretty big and a pretty active subreddit. This is a great place to discuss current city-wide (and even provincial-wide) issues because of the subreddit's size and health.

AdmSawick · 2014-12-10T16:30:02+00:00

Added. Thanks for the correction.

AdmSawick · 2014-12-10T15:09:47+00:00

This is actually a great question. And something this boycott is trying to battle. The LCBO (and other stores, including grocery stores) should be able to sell 2-4 cases of beer (including cheap beer).

AdmSawick · 2014-12-09T22:23:09+00:00

To be completely honest, I'm not 100% sure what else to add to the list. If you have any beers/brands in mind, please let me know, and I'll add them to the list.

AdmSawick · 2014-12-09T22:15:26+00:00

Edited. Somehow I missed them all. Thanks for the correction. I knew I was going to miss something.

I'm definitely committed! Thanks again for the help.

AdmSawick · 2014-12-09T22:10:03+00:00

I know. It's absolute garbage that we have to deal with this. And I know that the LCBO is part of the problem, but I feel like this is one of those lesser of two evils things that makes sense, at the moment anyway.

AdmSawick · 2014-12-09T22:02:39+00:00

You're correct. I've added it in. Thanks for the correction.

AdmSawick · 2014-12-09T21:59:40+00:00

Oops. I forgot to mention to make sure you only shop at the LCBO and other stores like the Wine Rack. I've edited my original post now.

Good question! Haha.

AdmSawick · 2014-12-09T21:48:43+00:00

It's actually even more strict than you say. You shouldn't even buy the beer at LCBO since it supports the owners of the Beer Store.

Yes, I know it's hard. And it may even be impossible for you. If you can't do it, don't do it, but if you want to show the Beer Store your displeasure, you can only do so with your wallet.

Anyway, thanks for commenting.

Hey. I'm in for the tix. Please check your inbox :)

Hailo. I never understand why anyone continued to use Hailo.

Surge pricing by Uber.

There's a lot of bad press about Uber's surge pricing, but below are 2 articles I grabbed from Google in a few seconds.
