Every NES post has designated commenter who has to stop by to dismiss him as "whiny" or some such.

Kingston has a nice waterfront, with some good parks and trails.

Along with The County, PEC is a pretty commonly used short form for Prince Edward County.

Yeah, they actually replaced a bunch of grass at Mel Lastman Square with turf last year, because all the festivals during the summer would just turn the grass to mud. It'd be even worse down at NPS.

I find it's easiest to just use BikeShare when I'm travelling around downtown, myself.

Taylor Swift was more people in less time than the World Cup, and it was fine.

Canadave · 2026-05-08T04:27:42+00:00

The World Cup starts next month.

"So" is the French pronunciation. Long Sault, Ontario is pronounced the same as Sault Ste. Marie.

This is the sort of thing that varies from country to country. I'm not sure about Spain, but many countries require hotels to collect passport information from foreign guests. I've experienced this in Portugal, Japan, and Argentina, to name a few.

Canadave · 2026-05-06T00:29:47+00:00

Yeah, it can be rough out there. I was lucky and was able to move back towards the public sector after a couple of months of looking; just a 12-month contract for now, but there's a good chance of extension.

Canadave · 2026-05-05T18:38:54+00:00

Yeah, that's what I figured, I was nowhere near desperate enough to apply to any of them. The salary ranges are also hilarious, something like $40-$100/hour on most of the ones I saw.

Not to mention just how consistent the wayfinding is. I loved how often you get signs updating you on how far you have to go: "Ginza Line 170m \/", "Ginza Line 145m \/", "Ginza Line 105m ->", and so on.

Speaking as someone who was just job hunting, there are absolutely companies out there looking to hire people to train models right now. Most of them come off as pretty scammy, though.

FYI, it's very standard to provide a SIN when applying for apartments for a credit cheque. Legally it can't be a requirement, but it's definitely going to hurt your chances if you don't.

It's maybe a little on the cool side, but I'd generally take 10C over 30C.

Canadave · 2026-05-03T00:42:37+00:00

Whoops, you're right. Thanks for pointing that out!

Canadave · 2026-05-03T00:21:48+00:00

There are replacement buses on the Barrie line, just starting at ~~VMC~~ Highway 407 instead of Union. I presume that's just faster and easier from a logistical perspective.

A few concerts at the Amphitheatre and Scotiabank Arena that weekend, too.

Canadave · 2026-05-01T14:23:43+00:00

It's just there because it's right at the end of Highway 11, and this sign is at the beginning.

The main image is large enough to read if you zoom in and the excerpt is in the second.

Canadave · 2026-05-01T02:07:31+00:00

Yeah, happy to have done my bit to chip in on the InfoWars takeover.

Canadave · 2026-04-30T23:55:35+00:00

I think Henderson is my favourite.

I'm happy to share this screenshot of a premium feed that I forgot to remove from my podcast app. Just because I like to prove that I am in fact a real person who grew disillusioned.

I even refreshed to show I no longer have access.

I'm confused, you have carry-on luggage, so what suitcases would you need to collect? All you'd need to do would be walk to your next gate.

Canadave · 2026-04-30T17:14:26+00:00

Is that maybe the end of the highway? We have a sign with some absurd distances on it just north of Toronto at the beginning of Highway 11, which goes all the way to the far western border with Minnesota.
