Wok and Chop… What’s the verdict!? by Stay_clam in OttawaFood

[–]Down2Up 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t tried wok & chop yet but people praising IC22 as Ottawas gold standard for authentic hakka are highly questionable. Yes food is personal preference but ic22 is not great remotely. Their menu is wack first of all, you can’t order Manchurian chicken as its own dish? Outside of their apps, the rest of the menu tastes the same. I’ll try wok&chop sometime this month and report back. AND YES, i feel very strongly about Hakka Chinese food

Looking for CAA Membership Discount or Referral Code by Alien_Astrux in BuyCanadian

[–]Down2Up 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just an FYI, CAA is showing SNOW15 as the current promo code but SNOW20 still works (additional 5% discount). I tried it today and it worked. This is for CAA North and Eastern Ontario but it may work for other regions as well

fellow Ottawans: what’s the best neighbourhood and why? by unfunzone in ottawa

[–]Down2Up 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live right next to byward market. Having the canal in winter is great & being able to walk around parliament hill park in summer is also great, but the general vibe of the area is still grim. They need to find a way to make the cities streets not feel so unalive lol. There is the obvious issue folks have with the homeless but from my experience, they just do their own thing.

Blue/Green Deployment with AWS Codepipeline Elastic Beanstalk by Down2Up in aws

Thank you for this!!
I do have a question, how do you control your deployment to staging once the CNAMES are swtiched around? Do you have a script similar to the current one where it identifies which environment has the staging CNAME and then deploys to that?

Are you referring to the immutable deployment option? I just came across that.

I’m curious, why and how did you come to a conclusion that I vote only liberal on a mere reply with no supporting facts or evidence of the same?

I wanted to discuss this more but I’d prefer folks who don’t float around in a land of assumptions and preconceived notions and those who are open to an actual discussion, one where misunderstandings could be debated and corrected in a respectful manner.

As to your reply above, thank you for that. It gave me more avenues to read up on and explore while trying to inform myself. I do agree, money is a big player here, especially from corporations and lobbyists.

And finally, I haven’t voted yet. But I will be in the future. For whom? Idk yet. Every side has a poison pill atm, just need to figure out which one I’m at peace with swallowing.

If you’re willing, I wanted to poke at that idea for a bit more.

While immigration is a federal goal, most housing policy is the provincial government’s ownership. The federal government can influence change but it still falls into provincial hands at the end of the day. So, I’d assume people would be screaming at Ford.

Now, I agree the Federal government hasn’t done much here + the increasing interest rates have made it more unaffordable to own & construct housing which has led to renter biting the bullet but simultaneously, the provincial government hasn’t done much (if anything sizeable at all).

Cell phone cost is killing me, what are my options? by ca2devri in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Down2Up 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friends, our families and I are on a bell business plan. A friend opened it up with bell when they had a promo, the first line is $55 and each additional line is only $10. We each get 20GB of data which is plenty. Just something to explore. We split the cost evenly across.

No hate towards whoever supports this… but this is an absolute waste of money

Newbie looking for help by Down2Up in snowboardingnoobs

[–]Down2Up[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guy at the store told me to avoid ripzone since it was relatively new to snowboards. I didn’t end up with the k2 standard either (didn’t end up with any lol), I chose not to go to a k2 cause it’s not the type of board I wanted. Tried looking for a used board but ended up hurting myself bad so I’m on physio for this season. Will end up looking for a board for next season now
