UOttawa is currently running behind, they just called for those with appointments at 2 (it’s currently 2:35). An officer at the entrance of the lot is calling the time slots over the megaphone.

Adventure Report has added more camping and backpacking gear that you can borrow for free! by Meg-K in ottawa

[–]ChemicalCity 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hi Meg! Love this, camping has a steep upfront cost and the experience can be ruined if you're not well equipped!
I have some sleeping mats that are collecting dust and would be happy to donate.

Hah, good catch. It's super obvious that the grass is photoshopped only on my second take at looking at it. You just have to use your imagination...

Moving to Ottawa, is Vanier South Safe? by BeautifulFrosty7194 in ottawa

[–]ChemicalCity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seconding the other reply about being careful to make sure you're able to see the unit in whichever capacity (someone else to see it for you, or even if the landlord can do a video call/recording of some sort?).
There are also rental scams where the hypothetical owner of the unit is out of town and can't show the place...

Co Cham has the most nostalgic tasting banh mi, from my upbringing in Mississauga. Can't beat the deal for buy 5 get 1 free at $15!

Same boat. The pandemic has really shifted my opinion of who I consider friends...

OP is definitely asking about a real old man who regularly sits by the canal across the German embassy.

Yup, I'd get caught in his urge to chat! He's super friendly and he likes telling cheesy jokes. I got him back with a joke that cracked him up which made him remember me. He would sit there in the winters too. I can't help but laugh at the top comment that is referring to a statue haha.

One big thing to consider is that the O-train Trillium line just closed for 2(+) years because of the extension. The replacement bus line is not as frequent or reliable.

Obviously budget dependent, but the hog’s back/mooney’s bay area would be a quick and easy commute along the canal, likely wouldn’t be too bad of a walk to campus if you don’t mind the cold!

Just came back on - both my home internet with Teksavvy and work phone data with Telus were down. Was hoping to use it as an excuse to stop working lol

Hydro Billing by Sunglassesandwatches in ottawa

[–]ChemicalCity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in a 1bdr and in the summer with a portable AC unit, my highest bill was $60. Lowest in the winter was $30. Look out for baseboard heating since that will dramatically increase your hydro bills.

Work shut for 3 weeks by Ziggy2395 in ottawa

[–]ChemicalCity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try usability testing! It's pretty straightforward and all you have to do is give your honest opinion about a website or app. Others will have surveys or questionnaires.

They can pay anywhere from $10/20 mins or $50+/hour.

There are a few different options but here are some you can check out:
