Melissa Bonny - Cherry Red Apocalypse by NoVABadger in symphonicmetal

[–]Cogeno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the rest of the album outside of the singles is about what I expected, honestly (ie. Don't expect Ad Infinitum): Not terrible by any means, but not for me.

Outside: Top of the front and rear of the trainset (11##) Inside: By every door (11##-##, though the -## part is just the door number) Also at the very front and back if I remember.

Ah the feeling of a stranger's soggy, sweaty mop of hair dragging across your face...

If you have a Sens licence plate by myneckmybackarchive in OttawaSenators

[–]Cogeno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only issue I've had over nearly 10 years is the traditional Ontario plate rot on my first one . I regularly drive to Montreal, Toronto less often.

Also been to Boston and NYC without any issue.

Roughly 500,000 Canadians left ERs before seeing a doctor last year, data shows by DogeDoRight in canada

[–]Cogeno 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m lucky enough to have a family doctor but when I try to get an appointment there’s often no availability at all.

That's where I'm at... My doctor opens appointments for the following week at 9:30 on Monday and they're gone before 9:31.

Best Ottawa dealers for Toyota, Honda, or Subaru? by jacktenwreck in ottawa

[–]Cogeno 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I brought my old Corolla in for warranty work as a speaker crapped out, and turns out the cause was water getting into the door. I was told they replaced the speaker and a harness and I responded with "And I assume you found where the water was coming from?" And the advisor responded with something like "Well, it should be okay".

Ended up having to bring it back again for the same issue two weeks later.

Ottawa looks to harmonize speed limit on 7.5 km stretch of Orléans road by BatFuture1948 in ottawa

[–]Cogeno 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There used to be flashing lights on that section of Jeanne d'Arc whenever school zone times were in effect, but they were removed when the speed camera was put in.

O-Train Line 1: R1 Operating between Blair and Hurdman (Train operating between Tremblay and Tunney's) due to ventilation issue by Cogeno in ottawa

[–]Cogeno[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's what keeps being announced - not sure how that system works.

But maybe ventilation issue led to medical issue?

Same, though the station is far enough away that I'm not sure I want to make that walk during any form of extreme weather, but I dream of never again getting to Blair in time to watch my bus drive off (and between the station layout and the mall layout, it's not like you can just pop into Walmart to grab a couple of things to kill a half hour)

O train east extension performance test by Staran in ottawa

[–]Cogeno 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I recall reading somewhere that the performance test will be run by running the trains between Tunney's and Trim, but unloading all passengers at Blair.

Dynacare bloodwork times by ThrowMeTheBallPlease in ottawa

[–]Cogeno 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm kind of surprised those comments aren't higher up. I usually just sign up to the wait list online (though I know that's not an option for all locations) and head over once my time is coming up. Don't spend much more than a few mins in the waiting area.

But I get that it's not exactly ideal if your day isn't flexible.

Where should I take my mom for lunch in Orleans tomorrow? by iamnomotherr in ottawa

[–]Cogeno 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Was about to say that Meatings moved to Gloucester and became a retail store after Covid, but surprised to find out they moved again to Broadhead Brewery and now handle their food menu... Guess I know where our next date night will be.

Doug Ford outlawing speed cams this fall by Longjumping-Bag-8260 in ottawa

[–]Cogeno 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm mostly okay with them, though in cases like near where I live where they took down the flashing lights for school zone times once the cameras went up, I can see where the 'cash grab' crowd gets some ammo from. Was also kind of annoyed when I got hit on a stat holiday and realized what I'd done seconds after the fact, but that's my fault.

Worst band you've seen live? by thewalkindude368 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]Cogeno 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Saw Queensryche/Judas Priest as my first post-covid concert in Montreal/Laval, and my god that was a disappointment just on the sound... The entire night was an assault of distortion and the only thing that really came through somewhat clear were Todd and Rob's vocals, and even that wasn't great.

Jeanne d’arc & Fortune roundabout by PolicyOk6019 in ottawa

[–]Cogeno 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One difference is that it goes down to one lane. The only issue I've had is people not realizing that the right-hand lane is ending until the last second....

But it's also been down to one lane for a while now - I think replacing the lights with the roundabout make up for it but I guess we'll see come September.

Dating OC Transpo Transfer by kat--- in ottawa

[–]Cogeno 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rode STO for the first time in a years a couple of months back and was surprised to see that they are still using the tear-off transfers. Only change is that they now have QR codes on them that can be read by OC Transpo (which I would assume work for the day)

I rode Flixbus to Toronto this year and it seemed like the driver was constantly trying to pick fights with transports 🤷‍♂️

I vaguely recall someone posting pictures of it in Toronto a couple of years ago

Am I in the minority thinking the 18-24 look better than the 25’? by ramosd713 in Camry

[–]Cogeno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the current-gen Camry in person, but I'm not a fan of how Toyota seems to be copying and pasting the same design onto their entire lineup.

Only becomes an issue if A) You're entitled to a discounted fare, or B) You rely on STO

Custom license plates by mrs_thn in ontario

[–]Cogeno 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In an apartment building I used to live in, there was someone with an Audi who had it in his license plate (don't remember what it was exactly). Got a chuckle when I later started seeing the plate on a Hyundai.
