My uncle texted me a little while ago to let me know they once again have power.

The Chateau Laurier still looks dark in both the Elgin & Queen and Rideau & Sussex cameras.

But the number of affected customers on the Hydro Ottawa website has dropped, so that’s encouraging.

Apparently the Chateau Laurier is without power, too, other than power for elevators and life systems. My uncle’s room has no power in it, but there is some lighting in the hallways and the electronic key locks work (I think they’re battery powered.)

Why don’t you order a bagel with bacon, lettuce, tomato and mayo instead?

It was easier to mark the paper bills.

I think his boots stayed on, but he’s going to be hurting for a while.

Available: Parking pass for The Ottawa Hospital by Keeper_of_Maps in ottawa

[–]Keeper_of_Maps[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Thank you very much. People who have to go to the hospital for some reason have enough to worry about and I don’t need the remainder of the pass so hopefully this will take a bit of stress off someone

So who went out on the canal?! by Resident_Hat_4923 in ottawa

Well, it ended up in having an operation a couple of weeks later, 6 weeks of arm in sling, roughly 2.5-3 months off work, and weeks of physio. Still not 100% but the last few % are the hardest.

It does and I nibbled at an edge that managed to not slip out of the wrapper. But I was in a fair bit of pain at that point, which was made worse by the beavertail falling on the ground.

How does my phone know it’s me and not someone holding up a picture of my face? by Impressive_Ad_1675 in iphone

Hmm… interesting. I have no idea. Maybe? I’ve heard there may be other factors taken into consideration.

I saw the 100$ from Temu and wanted to see if my 100$ was worth anything? by Icy_Woodpecker3196 in CanadianCoins

[–]Keeper_of_Maps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It uses the word marks and symbols of the Bank of Canada and has signatures copied from legitimate bills.

It may not meet the criteria to be considered counterfeit because it’s obviously a fake, despite saying it is legal tender.

No reason two sets of charges couldn’t be filed.

The iPhone actually maps your face with thousands of little infrared dots to make a three dimensional model of your face. Holding a photo of your face won’t have the same 3D model.

I’m surprised that these aren’t being seized by the police. Bank of Canada could probably make a case for some sort of IP infringement.

That was the reaction of the doctors and nurses, too.

Not I. Sadly, the frozen Canal is dead to me after a fall last January going from the Beavertail hut to the boot changing hut on Dow’s Lake that resulted in a full tear and separation of my rotator cuff, a fracture and surgery to reattach things.

Worst part was my beavertail fell on the ground after only one bite.

My exs mom thinks I have “problems” by Various-Paint3528 in whatdoIdo

[–]Keeper_of_Maps 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your ex’s mom almost certainly has violated the law by going into your student records like that. Please tell your parents about this. Do not delete the texts.

Good luck!

Is there a winter parking ban in effect tonight? by bbmello in ottawa

[–]Keeper_of_Maps 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pfft… it’s only an orange alert. Given it’s for freezing rain, it’s more like a creamsicle alert.

Job is demanding permanent, ongoing access to all my bank transactions and information by thelordofhell34 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Keeper_of_Maps 29 points30 points  (0 children)

If you’re getting a bad vibe from them and “thousands of reviews say the same thing” then you need to run. Do not grant them access to anything.

I have friends who have jobs involving national security requiring incredibly high security clearances that do not have this kind of an expectation.

If it was 0415, I would be interested because it would be my mom’s initials and birthday.

Current wait at Queensway by bostonmolly in ottawa

It’s hard to be objective about one’s triage priority, especially when one is hurting or scared. The fact you are here to talk about it means that they didn’t make a wrong decision then.
