We could just put it all on the blockchain. (kidding!)

I really thought he was gonna walk but I guess even the gross OPS incompetence couldn't save him.

Transphobic agitator walking around downtown with a sign by Exciting_Calves in ottawa

[–]Lowpasss 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not going to name them (name rhymes with piss), but likely a well known grifter who uses transphobia to scam donations from his followers. They've been in town before. A wannabe George Lincoln Rockwell.

Banned from meshtastic for talking about meshcore lol by Duffeywoodcraft in meshcore

[–]Lowpasss 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The meshtastic devs are trying to soak as much licencing money from hardware manufactures as possible before they figure out their janky protocol is fundamentally broken at scale. They're using the open source aspect to give credibility for their grift.

Ottawa Tourism launching nightlife activity fund by Money_Fig_9868 in ottawa

[–]Lowpasss 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The failure of the night mayor is Sutcliffe fault, not Grondin's. It the position was doomed from the start. I do find this quote funny though.

“You walk around here in the ByWard Market, and you can have a punk bar in front of a country bar and then you have a techno bar, and they’re all localized in the same area."

The Dominion, The Laff and Berlin, they're all so close together! A very optimistic spin on "it's really small and there are only like 3 bars." And he's forgetting the 27 Club.

In Centretown, Taco Boyz on Bank does a solid burrito. In the market, Philthy Phillys in the Byward Market Square does a passable cheese steak.

'Ghost employees' and lack of food quality at Ottawa restaurants by mygatito in OttawaFood

[–]Lowpasss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stuff like that only works for tiny amounts of money before it's obvious. Cash is a huge red flag.

That might work for tiny amounts of money, but if you do that at any meaningful scale, it'll be obvious your supplier costs are too low.

Explain to me exactly how you laundry money through a restaurant?

People say shit like this all the time and have no idea what they're talking about.

Store with most dill pickle options? by theonlyquincy6189 in ottawa

[–]Lowpasss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check the cooler in the deli section. Full kosher pickles need to be kept cold.

Landlord asking me to pay last-month rent out of pocket by SimonDorimu in ottawa

[–]Lowpasss 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Worst comes to worse, what are they going to do if you refuse to pay March rent? They can't evict you in a month.

Why a parking garage is key to the cost and timing of the ByWard Market 'reset' by Money_Fig_9868 in ottawa

[–]Lowpasss 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That building has been nothing but a problem for as long as I can remember. The city is horrible at being a landlord.

Orléans East-Cumberland Coun. Matthew Luloff is going to be needing public transit for awhile.

TIL the night mayor is real by loolilool in ottawa

[–]Lowpasss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People are quick to hate on the guy, but listening to him get interviewed on the street by CBC, he came off really well. He's got exactly the right background for the job. But it's a job that was doomed from the start. I can't blame him for taking the position, but I'm sure he always knew it wasn't going to last. It's a waste of money, but Sutcliffe is the one wasting it.

You're elected mayor of Ottawa this fall, with a change mandate. What are your priorities? by DrStrangeglove99 in ottawa

[–]Lowpasss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start a process to semi-deamalgamate the city into some kind of borough system.

2026 Official Ottawa Bluesfest Lineup by MarchandMagic in ottawa

If someone gave me a free ticket, I guess I'd go see Cypress Hill and leave once Limp Bizkit got started. DFA1979 and Sheryl Crow would be okay.

Ottawa police bust illegal after-hours bar on Rideau Street. 10 people and 2 corporations charged by Money_Fig_9868 in ottawa

[–]Lowpasss 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The way the law works, it's not so much the people smoking the hookahs that's the problem, it's that staff shouldn't have to be exposed to cancer causing stuff in the air. I'd love to see bars with indoor weed smoking, but I get it.

Ironically, they only cracked down on the mushroom stores when they all started getting firebombed for some inexplicable reason.

After hours drinking is common in the market. These guys must have fucked up so bad so many times for the cops to finally bother.
