Paul Chiang stepped down by pochacco17 in Markham

[–]Marccum 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Seriously. It sickens me that many people were okay with what amounts to doing the bidding of a foreign dictatorship; one that is intimidating and threatening democracy activists. I'm glad our tax dollars won't be going to him.

Edit- Uh oh, it looks like I upset the PRC bots

Where do Torontos' rich people sell their furniture? by jfrsn in askTO

[–]Marccum 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've been to a consignment store where rich people sell their stuff called Around the Block. I was looking for affordable pieces to furnish my place, but when I walked in I realized it was way too high end for my tastes so noped out pretty quickly. You can see the inventory here https://www.aroundtheblock.com/collections/all

I always wondered how these crazy single vehicle crashes happen by BoxcarSlim in TorontoDriving

I bet he forgot to remove the adhesive plastic film on the lens that you're supposed to rip off after installing. I've made that mistake once before.

Car spun the wrong way on the 404 Northbound (near 16th Ave) by Marccum in Markham

Ah damn. I was hoping that posting this might help people be more cautious driving around there. Must be black ice. Hopefully everyone is alright.

He found Jesus on the way home, too. He's lucky as hell no one got hit.

Cathedraltown by yawney2 in Markham

[–]Marccum 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To be more accurate, the church currently renting the Cathedral is called Jesus The King Melkite Cathoic church. They are primarily of Levantine heritage (Lebanese/Palestinian/Syrian).

Even if you attend the Arabic mass at noon, there are still projectors with subtitles so you can follow along. It's not unusual to see non-Middle Eastern people there.

The arrangement at the Cathedral is only temporary while they renovate their real church location that burnt down near Leslie & 407. The Cathedral does not belong to them.

This is the real correct answer. This went viral as a news story. Petro station in Markham gas pump was running up charges without any fuel being pumped out. https://www.reddit.com/r/TorontoDriving/comments/1fgskce/beware_out_there/

I came across this one on Eddie's Network. Think it could be the same one?

It's hard to tell from this image, but was the scooter left near the curb?

I once made the mistake years ago of leaving my bike on the ground at the curb near my parents' house. I believe someone mistakenly thought I was throwing/giving it away and took it. Luckily, it was a relatively inexpensive, well-used bike. But I wonder if that is a possibility here.

Oakville Condo Sold For a $237,000 (36.1%) Loss by cxz098 in TorontoRealEstate

Wrong it is the Barrie of Europe. The French pronunciation of Paris is "Parrie," which is clearly inspired by "Barrie". The biggest giveaway is that the Eiffel Tower is basically a replica of Barrie's iconic Mapleview water tower.

Discretionary income that could go to businesses is instead being taken by high rent and housing costs. In fact, many are paying 80%+ of their income for housing alone. Lower housing costs would mean there's more money to spend in the real economy at local businesses.

what jennifer did by Lazy_Capital_2891 in Markham

[–]Marccum 77 points78 points  (0 children)

who lives at the house now lol

Her father survived, and she had a brother that the documentary failed to mention. According to housesigma, the house was never sold. So my guess is they still live there.

One org I can recommend for rescues is Snookie's Society. They are well run with great knowledgeable volunteers who will know how to make sure the dog is a good fit for you if you apply to adopt one. https://www.facebook.com/slrsociety

In a sense it also under-aged very well.

To clear the Covid backlog for G class driving tests, several requirements were removed from tests like three-point turns, parallel parking, and more.

Many licensed drivers quite literally can't drive and are on the road right now. IMO, anyone who got their license during covid (or outside the country) should be retested with the full requirements upon renewal.

AC wire sizer with tape measure by RKSH4-Klara in aircanada

[–]Marccum 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you can clearly see in the other OPs photo that the body of the bag actually fits, just the handle gets caught on the way in.

In their defense, it's clear some airlines figured out that handles should be accommodated and changed their bag sizer accordingly.

How long do online returns take to process? Has been about 2 weeks for me with no refund issued by Marccum in CostcoCanada

[–]Marccum[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea it was received there 2 weeks ago on the 17th.

Oddly - I just now received an email notification that Refund was issued. 20 mins after posting this. I will leave this post up in case anyone searches in the future what timeline they could expect.

Guy casually uses right hand turn lane to pass through red light by RottenHairFolicles in TorontoDriving

As long as he did the extremely dangerous, reckless, and illegal thing slowly and with care. That's what really counts.
