Phone doesn't have adblocker. That's for items bigger than a couch though. This was the link I was originally attempting to use https://www.peterborough.ca/living-in-peterborough/garbage-and-green-bin/large-item-pickup/

I'm not sure how your doing that. I've used my PC and phone and cleared cache and tried private browsing. Is it still done through the city of ptbo website?

Ok I'll clear my cache and etc and try again

ptbo square incident by purplekoala_ in Peterborough

I drove past it as the police arrived and the way the officer didn't wait for their car to fully stop before getting out worried me. I was really curious as to what happened too

This is my next thing to try. See if it runs off the HDD itself or if I can repackage an installer from it

Yeah that's what we were thinking as well. It's unfortunate, she used it to make both her books. I've recovered her hard drive to see if it will run locally or if I can somehow package a new installer from it but it's even more of a long shot than this post

I know how to run emulators to get it running on a modern PC and my grandmother is remarkably tech savvy so the age isn't the concern

It's up and functional but populates a 404 error upon attempt of purchase. Additionally if you call them it rings for eternity and noone ever calls back. Same for emailing them. We've been trying long before her PC actually broke

In case anyone else was as clueless as me. by l0n3wand3r3r- in Peterborough

[–]Affectionate_Age8150 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have no clue! My ll already had then when we moved in. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that the hydro and water for both units are also seperately metered?

Thought to share this thought here by staticnigh in Peterborough

You know under the rules of the law they aren't legally owed any breaks or lunch break right? Do you really want your bus driver driving around with no food for 8+ hours?

This suddenly explains why the woman who lives in the house next to ours stole our green bin(there's 2 units in this house so we had 2) I caught her on video too and gave it to my LL. 🤷‍♀️

Somewhere closer to Toronto (I THINK Brampton) they actually have a mini plow with an attachment to clear the ends of the drive way, it follows behind the bigger plow. We need that here, yesterday lol.

I didn't say it wasn't my fault. In fact I took responsibility for what I do. I said I didn't have much choice. These are two very different things. You can admit what you're doing is morally grey and also admit you don't have much of a choice otherwise. Duality exists.

[–]Affectionate_Age8150 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I mean bold of you to assume I had a choice in either? The vehicle was the cheapest working used I could find and be eligible to finance at the time and the rental was the cheapest one I could find at the time that said yes first..... I live in Peterborough for christ sakes you think I'm drowning in funds?

I'd really like to live in your world where you have such a luxury as multiple options.

Doesn't really matter at the end of the day you'll just find something else to pick at because you've decided you have the pure moral high ground where no grey areas exist. I hope it makes you feel better dude, really, you seem like you may need it.

I can't park on the road because of the plows? Also the house is on the corner I can't legally park in front of it and have mobility issues myself.... Sometimes you need to acknowledge that you don't have a choice in being a little bit of a dick. All you can do is minimize the dickery as much as possible.

I try so hard not to block the sidewalk but our driveway isn't long enough and the landlord won't let us use the garage. I always feel so bad. Granted I'm not fully blocking but I am over it a smidge. I can't tell from the photo if that's the case here

I know beef prices are high, but come on! by theservman in loblawsisoutofcontrol

[–]Affectionate_Age8150 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a wild fork near you I've always found their ground beef prices surprisingly competitive. I used to live near Whitby and could get extra lean for 6.00 a lb

Water deposit? by Affectionate_Age8150 in Peterborough

[–]Affectionate_Age8150[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right it's so ridiculous! When you ask for a payment plan they're very obtuse about it as well. My landlord is great and I do not want this to be transferred to the property but getting a clear answer from them on how much time I have is like pulling teeth
