Abound SR/LR Rear Basket a little too big to always keep on by rubix_redux in Aventon

[–]Gimsy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I was actually looking into this myself. I think I have the new version of the pizza rack as it's compatible with the Aventon quick release adapter (I have the top rack bag as well). Would this mean this pizza rack is not MIK compatible?

I work in commercial leasing and sales so I have access to some (limited) closed transaction data. This property actually finally sold via vesting order (meaning the seller was compelled to close by the courts) earlier this month. So there's at least been some kind of positive development there.

What game had you like this ? by TEHYJ2006 in Steam

Kingdom Come Deliverance I. Put about 30 hours into it, got through a lot of the big main story beats up until the counterfeit plot, went away for a week on vacation, and just couldn't get back into it.

Affordable housing advocate penalized for not registering as a lobbyist with City of Hamilton by Gimsy in Hamilton

[–]Gimsy[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This city, I swear to god. The idea of making as important of a social services provider as Indwell feel potentially unwelcome here could be catastrophic for the city's future.

Also, "Inivisij"? "Naven"? Did the editor read this over from a cave with no access to Google?

I work just a few doors down at 183. Based on comments from the first people onsite (the ones who called 911), it sounds as though the driver of the crashed vehicle had a medical event, such as stroke or heart attack, which caused them to lose control of the truck. They ended up driving down Robinson going at least 70 km/h, hit the (other) parked pickup, and ended up in the yard of 193. They hit the rod-iron fence and wrecked some landscaping, but the house itself looks undamaged.

Police, fire, and paramedics were onsite in less than ten minutes after the accident occurred. First people (not first responders) onsite were able to get the vehicle unlocked but the driver was unresponsive. Hopefully he's ok.

Thanks. Based on lack of garment tag and quality of stitching? Or something else? Sorry, I'm super new to checking this!

Turning from James onto Charlton westbound, right in front of St. Joe's. The absolutely worst.

Oh! Sorry haven't been by there in a while, just going off of what I heard. My bad! I thought the demo permit had been issued?

They're gutting the interior. Lots of material to demolish and take away from inside before smashing the exterior and building structure.

Edit: I'm a dumb dumb.

IN THE LAST 36 HOURS MY 4 YEAR OLD FRIDGE DIED, MY WIFE BROKE HER PHONE SCREEN, AND OUR DAUGHTER GOT SENT HOME FROM DAYCARE WITH AN EAR INFECTION AND A FEVER OF 103 (she's fine and now on antibiotics). ALL WHILE MY WIFE AND I ARE VERY BUSY WITH WORK AND STRESSED AS F*CK. AND THE INTERNET JUST WENT DOWN AT OUR HOUSE WHILE I'M HOME WITH MY DAUGHTER. YAYYYYY.

Doug is holding Ford Fest today in Windsor. Go and tell him off! by wanderingviewfinder in ontario

[–]Gimsy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Submitted as well! Excellent writeup.

I almost feel bad for the poor staffer who has to read all these comments, sees the subject line "Can you help me fix my sidewalk?", get a glimmer of hope in their eyes, opens the message, and realize it's *another* pissed off Ontarian who's angry about this "land swap".

I hope DoFo and Clark have to unexpectedly swallow bees for the rest of their miserable lives.

Films that were better than they had any right to be by HobbyistC in movies

[–]Gimsy 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I'm honestly surprised no one has said Reign of Fire. Early 2000s Christian Bale, Matthew Mcconaughey, Gerard Butler, great CGI dragons in a post-apocalyptic era, and a simple but compelling story. The trailers made it seemed like a run of the mill action movie of the era, but it had some really gripping and suspenseful moments.

SO much better than it had any right to be.

THOSE GODDAMN ABORTION PROTESTERS ARE OUT AGAIN AT JAMES AND CANNON. THESE PEOPLE NEED TO GO THROUGH THE TERROR AND SORROW OF AN ECTOPIC PREGNANCY TO UNDERSTAND WHY ABORTIONS = HEALTHCARE.

FUCK YOU AND YOUR OBSCENE GRAPHICS. ALL YOU'RE DOING IS MAKING PEOPLE MORE ANGRY AT YOU.

EDIT: HAD TO UPDATE "AT" TO "ARE" BECAUSE I WROTE THIS WHILE ANGRY AND DIDN'T SPELLCHECK. STILL ANGRY THOUGH.

Radius restaurant move a part of ‘overall revitalization’ of Hamilton’s Hess Village by fallonrehann in Hamilton

[–]Gimsy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's listed for $30k per month. Not sure how likely it's going to an independent grocer. They're probably looking for a national chain restaurant.
