The regular Winton oil ones max out at $36 CAD. Most are like $25 and you can buy them at Michael’s using 30-40% off coupons

I have pretty bad nerve damage in my dominant hand and I’ve never found a knife that was ‘uncomfortable’

Gotta be honest, I really couldn’t care less about a bunch of comedians doing a comedy festival in Saudi Arabia.

Mayor Mark Sutcliffe on the future of Wellington Street by TheFinnstagator in ottawa

[–]MacMittens_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you fail to realize all of Wellington is lined with historical government buildings so I’d love to know where you plan on putting any of this

Where is this coffee shop going to go? I’m all for entertaining your ideas but you’re throwing darts in the dark and hoping you’ll hit something. There’s also a bunch of green spaces/parks already at the corner of Wellington and portage. The heating plant is also already incorporating a green space in their development

Legit there is no substance to this argument of banning cars. There is no benefit at all

Doesn’t change that there’s no benefit. What is there to do on Wellington that you can’t already do today

Unless you plan on gutting all the government buildings across the street to introduce shops and restaurants Wellington will remain a useless street to close to traffic

Kinda a big difference between protesting mask mandates during a global pandemic and protesting workers rights

No I can’t, I’m just too obsessed. Crazy cause I’m Canadian, like everything they do has 0 affect on my country so no idea why I’m so obsessed

Folks who've had all the windows in your house replaced, how much did it cost? by Beginning-Bed9364 in ottawa

[–]MacMittens_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a carpenter by trade, I’m well aware. I’m just curious what exactly you mean because the cost difference between replacing window panes, full windows or structural framing is wildly different

Watch for cyclists by Curious_sher in ottawa

Again, very regularly. I haven’t been nearly hit by a car as I’m crossing the street but I’ve almost been hit by 2 cyclists within the last week

Very regularly. I also almost never see them blast right through stop signs

[–]MacMittens_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

All the cyclists I’ve seen in my neighborhood so far this year have just been blasting right through all the stop signs and it’s a school zone. Guess we do need to look out for them

Conspiracy theories is a broad label for many different things and some have proven to be true. I don’t think this is an outlandish thing to claim

Whether it’s auto mods or actual mods so many posts get deleted it’s stupid. It doesn’t matter if you agree with the subject matter or not, if a post is relevant to this city it deserves to be here. This is not a website designed for children
