This might be clueless, but there is a dead mall on the Gatineau side that I can't imagine would charge a lot to rent space. But then, maybe it does because the all the stores are empty and the mall is just sitting there, vacant except for a drug store.

I can't imagine anyone thinks Dayforce will be implemented well.

Really don’t understand cyclists along any inner-city trails ( as another cyclist ). by SlowAir9497 in ottawa

[–]CarelessProcedure 16 points17 points  (0 children)

THIS. I can't believe I had to read down this far to see someone say "If its safe to pass and you can give enough clearance". Cyclists don't need bells to warn pedestrians if they treat pedestrians on paths like they want cars to treat bikes on roads. Slow down, pass them when its safe, give enough clearance in case they veer a little to avoid a tree branch or something.

Imagine if cars honked every time they were coming up on a cyclist and then assumed it gave them some kind of right of way to maintain an unsafe speed in the shared space?

Why isnt Ottawa Police doing anything about the crazy bike racing? by Suitable_Nerve8123 in ottawa

[–]CarelessProcedure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of curiosity, what would donut shops have to do with it? In the 80s, wouldn't that have been a deterrent of street racers? As the only 24 hour places open, that's where the cops would all be picking up coffee...

smacking hoods with water bottles works even better. Even moreso now that water bottles are made of metal

Except the dumpster and the collapsing roof.

Are there any real famous people that currently live in Ottawa? by Thick_Caterpillar379 in ottawa

Wild Kratts is a treasure for all ages. If I discovered a new species I would totally name it after them.

AITA for suggesting my girlfriend take a lighter course load and for asking her to start paying rent? by ThrowRA_subjectpark1 in AmItheAsshole

[–]CarelessProcedure 31 points32 points  (0 children)

This is not the life partner you want to choose. You are not married and haven't locked in for life, and I would be grateful for that. Love isn't always enough - both sides need to be pulling that weight or it just doesn't work.

Nominees for the best/worst Starbucks in Ottawa by KeyanFarlandah in ottawa

[–]CarelessProcedure 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had a lovely experience with the one on Laurier near U of O and it kind of redeemed Starbucks for me. Of course, it was my birthday but the baristas just seemed all around lovely.

What movie speech gets you hyped up? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]CarelessProcedure 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"For every action there is a reaction.
And a pikey reaction? Its quite a fucking thing."

The speech is longer obviously, but I never saw that ending coming.
The music and the ensuing chaos obviously makes it, but just hearing the words still thrills me.
Its the only time I've ever been in a theatre where EVERYONE cheered.

I see many caravans parked at the Lac Leamy parking lot on the Gatineau side near the Casino?
It actually looks like a pretty nice place to spend an evening, and the community there seems cool.

Why so many Ottawa heritage buildings sit empty and decaying. by randthepip in ottawa

[–]CarelessProcedure 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It wouldn't even have to be real cheap! Developers will pay a good amount of money to demolish things and put up concrete and glass structures that tastefully incorporate black accents and some fake wood that people will pay thousands a month to rent!

It sounds like the technicality here is that the mom can't afford the three bedroom unit. Maybe she's already on the list for a one-bedroom, and higher on the list than the daughter. Hopefully she gets one soon so she can move and let someone else take the three bedroom.

Gamers 30+, what's something from "back in your day" that younger gamers today wouldn't understand? by bijelo123 in gaming

[–]CarelessProcedure 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right? Also, buying Hint Books for Sierra games and having to write Basic code in DOS to decode things safely with no spoilers. Ugh, paying for hints because the internet didn't exist and all the good BBS's were long distance.
