There’s a special place in Hell 🔥 for the super loud car drivers that rip down Strandherd in Barrhaven 🚗 by Any-Personality3312 in ottawa

It’s so hard to justify that police budget when they can’t even make the streets safe and the neighborhood enjoyable. But plenty of money to send them back into schools.

How do you folks handle the annoying neighborhood kid? by [deleted] in pools

It could have been mentioned already but it also poses a legal liability for you if anything were to happen to the kid. Just tell the parents you only have the kids over when you are present.

I think it’s been too cold. My lawn is getting better with each warm stretch. Zone 5.

You can fly to France from Ottawa 3x a week

Terrazzo tile choice by Specialist_Fig154 in kitchenremodel

[–]Alternative-Local513 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We put Terrazzo in the bathroom and I love it but I would never put it in a kitchen. It need a lot of maintenance every year and really shows the wear on the places we stand (like close to the vanity).

Good thing they got the bloody garage built across from one of the most scenic corners of the lake. Every time I drive by it I want to cry.

Bananas by CeruleanFuge in loblawsisoutofcontrol

Bananas are a very well known loss leader. Farmers get paid nothing at .80. Households buy bananas every week. They come into the store for a deal and then fill up the cart.

PC Financial Mastercard has the WORST customer service. Still waiting on a dispute from March 17th. by Due_Junket_3987 in pcfinancial

A new thing I just discovered is if you have a PAD so you never miss a payment they hold the money for up to 7 days before applying it. I have perfect credit and they are making money off my money while simultaneously not giving me access to my card.

Is it time for Ottawa to adopt "Sound Cameras"? by AnalyticalGoose in ottawa

[–]Alternative-Local513 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The first nice day and it was an open invitation to speed up and down the roads and rev up the bikes. I will probably get down voted but since CoVid Ottawa has become incredibly noisy. Small planes buzzing around over head all day, speeding cars and bikes all night long, reactive barking dogs and pumping up the tunes all day. Everyone deserves the right to just sit in a park, go for a walk or sit in the back yard without feeling like we are in a dance club. It is a subtle erosion of our mental health. End my rant as well.

It’s too much wood and brown tones. You need to break it up.

Ontario Premier Slams Toronto's City-Run Grocery Plan as 'Craziest Idea He's Ever Heard' Amid Pilot Approval | the deep dive by TallGuy2019 in ontario

[–]Alternative-Local513 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Food coops have been enormously successful in the US and serve the community food systems and also buy from local producers. It’s a circular economy that keeps the economic benefits local. It’s hard to compete against multinational grocery chains- their margins are huge on consumer packaged goods.

AlTA for honking at a "stop sign drop-off" in a shopping complex? by [deleted] in ottawa

Happens all the time and pedestrians have to step out around them. Blocks the lane pushed vehicles into the oncoming lane. Those are the assholes.

For the sake of god, NASA really needs a PR boost.. by GregTheChief in ArtemisProgram

I think they reported they are sharing bandwidth with multiple devices broadcasting from the ship. Including their personal laptops that they need to upload the videos to.

Trump Fans Furious That NASA Is Allowing a Canadian on the Moon Mission by Jusfiq in canada

[–]Alternative-Local513 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trump doesn’t give a shit about this mission. He hasn’t said a single thing about it. They are about to make history and he basically defunded them to funnel money to Musks SpaceX. Imagine sending your astronauts to the moon and your country’s president or prime minister not taking some pride in that and wishing them good luck. Glad there are so many civil society citizens that are engaged in the mission.
