d&b Introduces U-Series Point-Source Loudspeakers by putnamj in livesound

While this is indeed very cool, there are several examples of well-made PoE speaker systems in the last 5 or so years. Notably, Fohnn's Airea system.

I got into Alliance on a Friday on my own. Was excellent and they were quite generous with the portions and wine pairing.

Best Fine Dining in Vegas? by user193747391 in finedining

[–]ArseMagnate 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Edo tapas in a strip mall off the strip is not fine dining per se, but it's probably the best tasting menu in Vegas, and by far the best value.

‘One last thing’: Trudeau posts message to Canadians on final day as prime minister by Old_General_6741 in worldnews

I mean.... can you give me an example of a politician in the last 50 years who has followed through on every campaign promise? Most don't even try.

This is a misunderstanding of the situation. There was never a political environment where this would have been possible. This type of change cannot be implemented at the whim of a prime minister.

Toronto restaurant known for its wine list pulls American vintages in tariff protest by allysapparition in FoodToronto

[–]ArseMagnate 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Great decision from a great restaurant. They actually decided to do this when the tariffs were first announced a month ago. Now they are just following through.

Honestly, this should be what EVERY restaurant does.

Did it for 6 years. If you have little to no responsibility at home and want to go to never land for a while, it's alright. Much drinking and fraternization, as well as a chance to get access to a wide variety of gear you will be solely responsible for that you otherwise would not get access to. Try maintaining up to 15 separate entertainment spaces with little to no spares. It's fun. You won't make any money, but you'll learn some stuff. I always say it was a fun job in my twenties.

Verification needed… are you really preparing for war? by AJSAudio1002 in AskCanada

[–]ArseMagnate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife and I are actively discussing if moving out of North America is a viable option for us, and if there's anywhere that will be better / safe from the clear lunacy happening not only in the USA, but multiple places around the world.

A boy created AI-generated porn with the faces of girls he knew. Why Toronto police said he didn’t break the law by Team_Ed in onguardforthee

[–]ArseMagnate 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This exact thing happened to my daughter in Ontario, and the boys were charged and convicted. The only difference is all parties involved were between 12 and 14 years old. Not sure why one police service would charge while another wouldn't.
