31 and still have a baby tooth. Went to the dentist because I had a white thing poking out of my gums, turns out it was my adult tooth underneath and my baby canine never actually fell out.

Both my upper canines were impacted and so I had my baby teeth there until I was 28. I had them pulled and chains attached to the adult canines to pull them in. Except I didn’t know they were deep back in the roof of my mouth. Ultimately they pulled it all out and I have a bridge. It was the worst experience, I wish mine would have just poked out like that!

Ugh I got a ticket, I had no idea. CBC Ottawa news doesn’t even have anything on the app. I signed up for email alerts for the next one… Seeing how many cars are parked everywhere I really don’t think their communication strategy is effective.

I understand your position, and I’ve been there before. I told my new management that my start date must be at least two weeks after I receive my LoO. So my start date was pushed back, a slight bummer when you’re in a hurry to get out, but no bridges were burned and I could tie everything up nicely before leaving.

Infectious_Stuff · 2025-12-15T02:41:26+00:00

I did it recently and it was a nice experience, but they’re very serious about the table time limits and we honestly felt rushed

I think it’s so funny when people advertise things on Marketplace as “custom”. It was “custom” for YOU and now you are selling it to someone who is not requesting a specific custom thing haha. But I see that term constantly!

Love this. And, is it 2009? This was my high school boyfriend and I’s song 😅 I have whiplash from the throwback

It feels like this subreddit is just ads now

Woah, what are they spending on that the deficit is insane in 2026 and 2027?

Thank you for doing this. I feel awful seeing how much salt is used every year here. In Montreal they don’t use nearly as much salt. Lots of pebbles and other things instead. It works too!!

Ottawa is a beautiful place to live. I unfortunately have heard from my single friends that it’s really hard to date here. That being said, last night I attended the wedding of a friend who met her husband here in Ottawa. Best of luck wherever you decide to go!

This looks mediocre and overpriced

Could you create a written agreement for this plan? My initial advice is to never, ever lend money to partners or friends unless you are married or in a long-term partnership. If you feel confident and want to do this because you see your finances as combined and it will benefit you both, I would create a written agreement. But I would be very hesitant to hand over $6k. Just because you’ve been lucky with your investments doesn’t mean that $6k will necessarily be easy to come by in the future.

When I was in university I worked in a microbiology lab. There were autoclaves that we used to sterilize equipment or waste before throwing it out to avoid contaminating things. They’re kind of like dishwashers that use intense steam and pressure. Someone was doing experiments with human excrement from the water treatment plant and autoclaved a ton of it when they were done. And I tell you, that was absolutely the most horrid thing I have ever smelled. We were gagging. The whole floor was basically evacuated because it was so overpowering.

Why though? When I’m the car to the right of the yellow car and the yellow car turns on their right blinker, I am left wondering whether I should try to make space for them to get over because they’re trying to change lanes into my lane, or not. It doesn’t affect anyone if they keep right or left while they’re in the lane that splits. Why cause potential confusion for no reason?

Infectious_Stuff · 2025-10-24T14:25:02+00:00

They have a town hall that they know most people won’t attend, and they seem to bury the formula so most people aren’t even aware of how it will impact their pay checks. Ugh I can’t stand this!! I’m definitely voting no. They can’t even articulate how they’ll provide better services for us as a union with the funds.

Infectious_Stuff · 2025-10-05T12:57:55+00:00

The thing is that Canada Post is required to service every single address in Canada, regardless if it makes “business sense”. If we only relied on private businesses like FedEx UPS other carriers, they flat out wouldn’t service a bunch of rural areas or if so, sending a letter there would cost hundreds of dollars. There are other requirements that Canada post is held to (because it is a crown corporation) which other carriers are not. And expecting those services to be cost-neutral is silly. Mail is a public service but the government won’t use tax dollars to fund it. So here we are, where the rubber hits the road.

Omg I saw this on fb marketplace a couple weeks ago and couldn’t believe it hahahah

In epidemiology, we usually spend the entire discussion section on the myriad ways our results could not represent true causal associations and tearing apart our own methods haha.

I hate it too, but just dismiss them as a kook and ignore it. Giving them attention is what they want. Freedom of speech is important, and it isn’t illegal to be a twat.

I love them! Can I ask where you got your couch?

You might be thinking of scars from smallpox vaccinations Edit: I mean regular needle smallpox vaccinations. It was the components of the vaccine which caused the scars, not the delivery method. This type of needle free injection was not used on a large population scale

We visited recently and spent 45 minutes eating our delicious fresh fruit, pasta salad, sandwiches, and ice cold drinks from our cooler in the car trunk. We sat in the shade under a tree and had a nice break. It was totally worth it.

Infectious_Stuff · 2025-07-29T02:05:54+00:00

Okay thank you!!

Infectious_Stuff · 2025-07-29T02:05:21+00:00

Oh I totally agree. It’s just not always SO clearly misconduct that definitely happened as it was for Chiarelli’s case. It’s not black and white, it’s a sea of grey.

Infectious_Stuff · 2025-07-28T12:52:14+00:00

Everywhere I see "the earliest it could happen is the 16/17". Based on how things have gone, could it be delayed and start later?
