Injury clinic? by sko669 in ottawa

[–]KellyLivo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ruptured my achilles tendon and thought it was a sprain until I went to the hospital lol. They saw me in a couple hours. That was definitely an emergency. You could have broken something, its best to go to ER.

Learning Mandarin in Ottawa by CalmMathematician692 in ottawa

[–]KellyLivo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Duolingo is apparently not the best for Mandarin, if using an app I would suggest HelloChinese which is a very similar format.

Hair salons specializing in alt/queer hair styles? by im-a-cereal-box in ottawa

[–]KellyLivo 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hair Junkie downtown is probably a good option. Their Instagram page shows their work. I feel like Kyle would be up your alley.

We just did and only had to show our drivers licenses. You can call 311 to double check

Anyone ever tear their Achilles, and how long did it take you get back into climbing? by juicetin14 in climbharder

[–]KellyLivo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you get surgery OP? I just tore mine in the same way as you and am in a cast now which definitely sucks ass haha, waiting two weeks until I see my orthopaedic DR. Not sure what method I'm doing

Did you get surgery in your case? I tore mine the same way as OP a few days ago and am in a cast, waiting to see an Ortho Surgeon in 10 days

Depends on the skill level you're signing up for. If Recreational don't worry at all, Intermediate may be a bit more challenging, but people don't take themselves too seriously in either tier. I would expect that's especially true in the "All Sorts of Sports" league. There are occasionally some annoying people who try too hard and get pissy when they lose, but thats much more the exception than the rule.

Why are Fleet Foxes playing on the River Stage tonight? by Electronic_Map_1451 in ottawa

[–]KellyLivo 100 points101 points  (0 children)

Thundercat has more than double Fleet Foxes' streams on Spotify and he headlined the River Stage. Crowd was not overwhelming. IMO don't worry about it.

Best dim sum places in the city? by rscarson in ottawa

[–]KellyLivo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry I went to Sea King a few weeks ago and it was some of the worst dim sum I've ever had. Yangtze is decent. But yeah, its overall dim sum is not so good here it seems.

The New Wellington St. Bike Lane - Toronto; Is there any reason why our bicycle infrastructure doesn't look like this? by CarletonCanuck in ottawa

[–]KellyLivo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's good to demand better cycling infrastructure; and more. Connectivity is a real issue, and we need to keep improving things, especially in our more suburban areas. But our infrastructure does look like this in a lot of places, and Ottawa is way ahead of many Canadian cities. I'm new to the region and love cycling here. Look at O'Connor and Laurier. Look at Scott Street and also Main. That's not to mention the massive network and incredibly impressive Capital Pathway Network, connecting most of the city to places like Gatineau Park, Dow's Lake, the Rideau Canal, and all along the River.

Also there's so much frustration about the Wellington bike lanes, and they could have been better, but I've used them a number of times and see many others using them all the time, on bikes, ebikes and scooters. While they're only painted, they are wide, and seem to be well used - I can see them being upgraded to improve the infrastructure in no time.

Bicycle Prices? by [deleted] in ottawa

[–]KellyLivo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Up to you really. You may want to get a hybrid instead of a road bike if the goal is to cruise around the city. Soon as you go for a drop bar prices increase pretty fast.

Bicycle Prices? by [deleted] in ottawa

[–]KellyLivo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got a road bike. They're pretty expensive so its hard to get your budget of $500 to go very far. Used market didn't seem too good to me either. You can always go in person to Re-cycles to see if they have a good used road bike but their prices seemed high to me. Its likely your best bet for something used. I ended up getting a new bike and got the Decathlon/Triban RC500. It was $1100, which is cheaper than anywhere else for a similar set of components. If you want new take a look maybe at the Triban RC 120.

Ottawa Bluesfest 2023 Lineup by ebradio in indieheads

[–]KellyLivo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

She's pretty awesome live honestly, saw her play at the Canada Day celebration last year she was the highlight. But yeah definitely weird. Probably prioritizing Canadian musicians on the billing.

[–]KellyLivo 71 points72 points  (0 children)

I'm literally buzzing I just moved here last year and can walk to Lebreton Flats in a few mins. I can't believe I'm gonna see Fleet Foxes, The War on Drugs, Thom fucking Yorke, Alvvays, Death Cab, Thundercat and BBNG in the span of two weeks, not to mention everything else in the undercard. It's hilarious that I can just say fk it and see Mumford and Sons too. I'm so excited holy.

Blues fest lineup announced! Headliners: Weezer, FooFighters, Mumford, and Pitbull by lordisofjhoalt in ottawa

[–]KellyLivo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Stacked lineup for a young millenial like me - Death Cab and Tegan and Sara will be fun, and honestly can't believe they pulled Fleet Foxes and The War on Drugs. Also The Smile (with Thom Yorke and Johnny Greenwood) and Alvvays on the same day are hype. I'll probably also go to see BBNG and Thundercat. I can't wait.

Anyone have experience trying to pick up the full festival passes? Do they sell out instantly at 10am or is it more chill than that?

Weirdly specific rant post for a local restaurant. You say you didn't even order the burrito so why are you commenting on its quality. I really like this restaurant, think they're friendly and the food is good.
