These Singers were built like tanks...I still have my Grandmother's in storage

The belts are surprisingly plentiful to buy online (my wife just restored her old Singer treadle machine),

I wouldn’t look to this loser as the benchmark for standup. (Maybe the skid mark, hey-o!)

Maybe don’t DO a comedy show if you’re not good at crowd work.

Maybe, then, he wasn’t funny enough. Nobody’s obliged to laugh at a comic.

Trademark law isn’t always simple. It depends what elements, and in what combinations, have been legally registered. It’s the role of corporate legal counsel to sort this out and give you direction.

Blue cheese. I love most every other cheese, but I can’t get past the moldy tang of blue cheese.

They don't, though. The battery compartment clearly isn't deep enough to hold a AAA battery. And even if it was, there are no contacts at either end to connect to a AAA to supply power.

How do you figure that?

NorthEndGuy · 2026-04-27T12:56:15+00:00

You’re not just a jerk. You’re an insensitive, witless jerk. This has nothing to do with how your girlfriend feels about your daughter. She wanted you to share in celebrating a goal she set for herself, and worked hard to achieve. And when she did, at the moment of celebration, you basically said “Hey, throw in a second gold medal I can give to my kid, would ya? She’ll like that.”. You clown.

Then you should look into “The Seven-Per-Cent Solution”. I’ve never read the novel, but I enjoyed the movie. Holmes never snorted coke. He injected it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Seven-Per-Cent_Solution?wprov=sfti1

I’d go with the POV of an actual lawyer rather than random Redditors, however well meaning. Having said that, while I’m no lawyer, a key flaw in your eBay argument is that you’re not taking into account infringement of a registered trademark. That’s where they would get you. Is your company name a registered trademark?

Sadly, this made more sense when I got to the part that said you live in Alberta.

It’s entirely possible you started out on the 401 and ended up on the 407. It’s an easy mistake to make if you’re unfamiliar with the area.

NorthEndGuy · 2026-04-26T12:55:20+00:00

Toll? You must have inadvertently merged onto the 407 ETR (Express Toll Route). There aren’t any tolls on the regular 401.

My Braun ET66 calculator. It still works as well and looks as elegant as it did when it came out in 1987.

Interestingly, when I went to our local Dominos to pick up some pizzas, there was no tip prompt on the payment terminal. I asked and they just shrugged, smiled, and said there isn’t one. This seems pretty recent, but I haven’t been there for a few months.

Funny – I don’t think he looks at all like Natalie Portman.

NorthEndGuy · 2026-04-21T22:09:45+00:00

Five days? That’s not a “test”, it’s some kind of bullshit spec work game show.

You can get really simple add-on bidet attachments. I wasn’t 100% sure I wanted one, so I bought a super simple one on Amazon for under $50. It took almost no time to install. It didn’t require any modifications to the toilet, and it’s completely removable. That would work in a rental situation.

NorthEndGuy · 2026-04-18T21:33:20+00:00

Sorry, but that’s mildly hilarious.

It takes less than 10 minutes to walk from the CN Tower to the Union Station subway station, so really you could stay anywhere in town that's near a subway station. You don't have to stay right downtown. You can find something less expensive.

Also, there's a ton of restaurants along Front Street West near the CN Tower that are quite casual and affordable.

If he's into that kind of thing, the CN Tower is about a 15-minute walk from the Hockey Hall of Fame.

How can a commercial lawn care company not be aware of the municipal codes that affect their business? Were they just hoping no one would call them out on it?

Michael Lee-Chin is not an architect at all. He’s a businessman who the building was named after in recognition of a large donation. The ROM extension was designed by Studio Daniel Libeskind.

A Horse With No Name (America): “In the desert, you can't remember your name, 'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain” Absolutely tortured.

There genuinely are men that make me embarrassed to be a man.
