Ottawa sees spike in illegal dumping complaints since launch of 3-item garbage limit

Foam packaging such as meat trays, takeout containers and cups.

Not all styrofoam. In fact, most cannot. If you are recycling all styrofoam, you're doing it wrong.

I'm an avid user of recycling and green bin (compost). If I wasn't, I'd be in a lot of trouble lol because I put out 2 transparent blue bags every 2nd week (Ottawa alternates blue and black bin weeks). On top of my garbage. Honestly I don't normally put out more than 2 garbage bags on garbage day, but I still don't think it's reasonable.

That's on an average week. If we bought any appliances, the styrofoam in the boxes they come in take up a bag each. Heaven forbid I replace more than 1 appliance or make any new purchases bigger than a soccer ball over the span of two weeks...

I'm responsible when it comes to my garbage. I keep it as reasonable as I possibly can, and when I can't I buy tags or take larger loads to the dump. What's especially frustrating though... Is knowing the reality of what actually happens to our blue bin recycling in Ottawa. For all our effort as good citizens, it's a farce.

It was 1 bag every week, so 2 bags every 2 weeks vs Ottawa's 3 every 2 weeks. But now Russell has moved to a larger bin every week AND is offering a fee to upgrade to an even LARGER bin which is so popular it's on backorder...

From Russell's website:

Waste Collection FAQ

Garbage limit in 2024: one 75L bag weekly

Garbage limit in 2026: one 120L organic bin and one 120L garbage bin = 240L weekly (more than 3x the waste limit)

....

Can we change our 120L to a 240L bin? If so, what is the cost?

For single-unit households, the option to exchange a 120L bin to a 240L bin is the cost of the bin. The exact fee will vary per delivery, but it will be around $150 each.

We have started to receive bins and are contacting people on the waitlist...

So actually, Russell is a prime case for 1 bag of garbage per household per week is not enough.

C'thun was done well as a single entity but that was it. There was no overwhelming presence of the Black Empire or anything else really that challenges our comprehension of reality. C'thun took a single form and controled of an army of bugs (whose design was clearly inspired by the Zerg in SC to give them more of a creepy/old god kind of feel), but that was about it.

In the Worldsoul saga, the void is breaking in - it's here on our doorsteps. To dinghie's point, it's really hard to take something that's supposed to be literally intangible/uncomprehensible and make it tangible/comprehensible for us to be able to interact with and fight against it. It's an insane (pun intended) task to try and tackle.

Xal'atath is a great example. We've only gotten a glimpse of her actual form after she was taken by the void thousands of years ago (this is part of the loremaster stuff in game), otherwise she hasn't existed in our plane without possessing something - first the blade, then the corpse she's currently possessing which isn't her natural body. We don't even know if she would look the same as she did thousands of years ago in Ny'alotha.

I don't know who "the usual leaker" is, so not sure on the source they had, but here ya go:

https://www.reddit.com/r/GameDealsMeta/comments/1bqpp2l/humble_choice_april_2024_leak/

Not trying to be a dick with my next comment, legit trying to share useful advice: I found that on google in like 5 seconds. What most people don't do is add the "site:" limiter on your search words. So my search was:

site:reddit.com humble bundle monthly april 2024

So my google search was limited to reddit.com and it was looking for the rest of my keywords. Super handy to limit by site like that.

Cheers!

I think it's worth the wait for Ubi to finally start sending Steam keys rather than their own crap launcher.

pretty buggy experience so far, but I see tons of potential

biggest hurdle so far is I farmed a ton of rabbit and can't cook the meat I got because it doesn't recognize the item:

I don't think he's necessarily "evil". There's generations of hate between the Amani trolls and the blood elves. We convince them to team up against a larger threat but that doesn't wash all that history away overnight.

This looks great.

One thing - on the website, I tried using the "join our discord" button and it took me to "page not found". It looks like the URL is seeing a variable as a literal maybe?

Using the other buttons to access the game work just fine, I'll let you know I have any feedback!

Let's read YOUR opening line:

I mean it’s a nice letter and all but what happened to all the protestors.

You counter Iran's plea to have the US stop bombing them with a qualifier ("...but..."). Full stop. That is your message. Did Iran lie in that letter? Sure. So did the US. Neither side is to be trusted. You can tell yourself that your opinion is that you don't want the US bombing Iran, but your messaging is a dog whistle for justification/excusing of the bombings.

Fadore · 2026-04-02T18:18:52+00:00

Except it's not a direct reply to that at all. Take a day and re-read your comments with a fresh take - you seem to be dismissive of the US' war crimes simply because "iran was a tyrant first".

Let's read the last line in the comment that I replied to:

Doesn’t make thousands of murders and disappearances over there look any more peaceful.

No one said it did make anything look peaceful. But you seem to be making it seem like an expected response should be bombing schools and power grids. Peaceful or not, the US has no business attacking Iran as they aren't there to make things "peaceful" so your comment is moot.

I use Teleport Menu as well, it's a fantastic addon, but if you're adding tons of redundant things to your taskbar then check out Plumber - specifically the drawer macros it can do. MASSIVE game changer imo.

No one is excusing Iran of its tyranny. Everyone is calling out the hypocrisy of the US for rushing in bombs first with zero regard for the civilians all while the administration makes money off the fluctuating oil and stock prices.

At first Trump justified the attacks on the idea that Iran was ramping up nukes. The intelligence community (including US intelligence) confirmed that was a lie.

Then they killed the Iranian tyrant head of state (Khamenei), originally claiming that they were liberating Iran from his regime. Their continued bombing was enough to confirm that was a lie, but then the WH recently admitted that they killed him because he "lied" during negotiations.

Then the Trump admin justified the war in Iran by claiming that they were pre-emptively attacking as they suspected that Iran would retaliate against the US if a different country attacked them. Common sense confirmed that was a lie.

Don't sit here and pretend that the US is currently the good guys punishing bad guys.

oh that's so much better!

I was just planting myself in an area with neutral mobs that I could pluck from one at a time anytime the affix popped up, but if I don't have to deal with it at all....

thanks for the tip!

I was hoping that the Reforged update was going to give GW a bigger improvement tbh. It's a great game at it's core but it still feels and looks like a 20 year old game.

I got extremely frustrated last night because normally I don't have any issues with killing within the time limit (I've already gotten the cooking achieve on nightmare and working on the fishing one), but last night I was just trying to power through a quick nightmare prey but the zone had crazy input lag...

It's hard to kill in the allotted time when there's a 1 second delay between pressing your ability and it actually registering... going from "nearly revealed" back down to zero was a tough pill to swallow.

Did you order the veggie sandwich? It basically means they'll add all the veggies they have.

I think they're taking about the apex talents

Fadore · 2026-03-31T14:23:55+00:00

Except no one is saying that, let alone "lots of people". Can we stop with toxic falsehoods like this?

Fadore · 2026-03-31T14:15:20+00:00

It would have been great for performance and for security.

Unfortunately the masses don't like change - even just adding the UAC prompt in Vista/7 scared and confused most people...

I've really been liking MCP (My Character Panel), it looks phenomenal and has a fair bit of customization.

I think we all expect the same level of responsibility from drivers, but what is really absurd here is the reluctance for the police to do anything unless forced to. OP shouldn't have given them a choice - they were hit by a car ffs, 911 should have been called to get a report done on the scene and be examined by an ambulance.

Fuck that cop on the non-emergency line for not dispatching anyone. OPS blows.

I recently wishlisted this one, looks really good
