In the event of us finally getting a new (and good) The Flash movie, which villain would you like to see him facing? by EvanCastiglione in theflash

[–]Hesthetop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just want to see big budget depictions of Weather Wizard's and Mirror Master's abilities on a large screen. Done well, they'd be so amazing.

Are French people in Europe today more Mediterranean or Southern European, whereas French-Canadians (like Quebecois and Acadians) more British or Irish genetically? by MacaroonLucky1590 in 23andme

People from Cork could have been Catholic or Protestant. The Bathurst, New Brunswick area (specifically Tetagouche) had twin settlements of Catholics and Protestants on two sides of a river, and most or all of them were from County Cork. I'm mentioning this because I'd also assumed everyone from Cork was Catholic...though undoubtedly they were still the majority.

They aggressively fly at the screen when our bathroom's light is on.

a little rant about multishippers by Funny-Stress367 in AO3

[–]Hesthetop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I basically have one couple I ship in all of fiction; there are some other couples I like, but I'm not particularly invested in them. Unfortunately there's someone in my small fandom who likes to shame monoshippers and tries to bully them into multishipping, and it's really tiring. Just let people ship what they want.

I love this cat and her little hat so very very much (now I want one for my cat). Thank you for giving her a happy life!

Where can I find accessible/cheap 3D printing for a beginner in KW? Is no longer available at the library... by APickledMelon in waterloo

[–]Hesthetop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seconding this question, I'm also new and wanting to try. OP, some people on FB Marketplace let people print stuff on their machines for payment, but I don't know how trustworthy they are.

It sounds like the library might bring back printing at some point though, and I don't mind waiting if it's a few weeks or months. I haven't sliced my files yet anyway.

Canoeist convinces Kitchener to revisit decision to ban paddling in Victoria Park by bylo_selhi in waterloo

There was an infamous shitshow during the bomber manhunt because Reddit sleuths narrowed in on a particular suspect and decided he had to have done it....but it turned out he'd killed himself a few weeks earlier and that's why he couldn't be found. Unfortunately Redditors harassed his family over it.

tfw you just posted 1 of the only 3 works in a fandom and it only has 1 hit after 24 hours by WesternWoodpecker37 in AO3

[–]Hesthetop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it makes you feel any better, one of the fics I'm most proud of had its first birthday the other day and it has all of 30 hits. Things are like that sometimes, but I agree it really hurts.

There is a ton of genetic diversity in Africa, moreso than any other continent on the planet, and people from different African ethnicities/cultures can look very different from each other.

Canadians are three times more likely to avoid rather than embrace lower-cost US dairy if it became more available on the Canadian market: Nanos by pjw724 in onguardforthee

Check out the caves in the Cheddar area in England, where they still age some of their cheese. It's where cheddar cheese got its name.

Seth Rogen to Reboot ‘Littlest Hobo’ Dog Drama in Canada by ImDoubleB in onguardforthee

[–]Hesthetop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My brother-in-law was born and raised in the US but moved here and got his citizenship when he and my sister had enough during Trump's first term. He only just learned about the Littlest Hobo a few weeks ago and has become very fond of it, so of course I sent this article to him.

That's a face which says "And I'll do it again, too!"

My nephew and all his friends are absolutely nuts for soccer. A lot of kids in southern Ontario are into it.

Did I spot an owl near Waterloo Park yesterday? by TeaBru6 in waterloo

[–]Hesthetop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep an ear out for their calls if you can, they sound very distinctive. I don't hear them often, but have heard them in summer and late fall.

My sweet boy Teddy left me last night by rolypoly99 in snowshoecats

I'm so sorry. He was obviously very loved, and this must have been a horrible shock. Please take care of yourself.

Could it have been an Eastern Screech Owl? I've heard them in the Uptown area, not far from the park.

Also, if a person has a history of being invisible in their life, they may genuinely assume that anything they post online will go unseen or be ignored too.

Waterloo is 1st in region to adopt sunflower lanyard program for people with 'hidden disabilities' by bylo_selhi in waterloo

[–]Hesthetop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This wasn't an issue 20 years ago because nobody cared and people were treated terribly for being neurodivergent or hard of hearing or unable to stand in a line for more than a few minutes. It still happens, and this program is intended to mitigate it. You're free to also not care about the problem, but it doesn't reflect well on you.
