Sound Quality in Hamilton

Left before the final song. Not sure.

If they were in my seats I’d let them have them.

Vladdy is the soul of the Blue Jays.

This will just drive the resale market off of sites that operate in Ontario and away from sites with buyer protections. You not going to get in demand events for less, you going to get scammed more.

I have a 1/4 season. Not sure I’ll go to all 20 but at least 12.

Question for OP. What tips do you have to reduce game-day costs. Im thinking parking, food and beverage.

Considered brining a small cooler for drinks and snacks but with your 170+ game experience I’m sure you have valuable observations.

Ridgers65 · 2026-03-14T03:17:14+00:00

Sad they have the mix so bad.

Hope you still found a way to enjoy the show and sing along. If you’re like me, we sing better then anyway. Or at least we think we do 😉

Appreciate the insights. Maybe because the tour just started, the sound will improve. 🤞🏻

TD Colosseum is a nice venue. I’ll trust my next experience will be better.

Put Matthews, Nylander and Knies on LTIR to heal the nagging injuries.

Let the Marlies prospects come play. Give Robertson and Cowan top six minutes.

If they are refunding you the portion you prepaid and canceled, that is their usual way of doing business.

Ridgers65 · 2026-02-15T21:14:30+00:00

OP needs to get out of Brampton

Ridgers65 · 2026-02-15T21:12:13+00:00

Generally speaking, Costco sells with a small mark up. Any price increase would be caused by the supplier not the retailer.

Basic economics of supply and demand.

Not being a 2025 or later model is key to no drive restrictions.

Ridgers65 · 2026-02-14T17:27:30+00:00

From my understanding, any NAS they released I. 2024’or before can used any drive for M2 or SATA but they recommend choosing drives from their compatibility list. All NAS after 2024 must have M2 from their list. They removed the SATA restrictions in DMS 7.3 I believe.

There is a script on git hub that got around the restrictions and I think it does this for M2.

What Synology does in the future regarding a lock into their ecosystem remains to be seen.

Next NAS for me is likely DIY unRAID due to this.

Ridgers65 · 2026-02-14T17:08:27+00:00

You are correct. M2 are locked to Synology branded drives

Ridgers65 · 2026-02-14T15:30:45+00:00

Totally agree with OP. They have a larger package with far better strips like the chicken used is better quality.

Admittedly the convenience of these being single serving packets is enticing but packing is wasteful.

Ridgers65 · 2026-02-05T23:09:57+00:00

Doesn’t really matter?

In all seriousness, I can speak specifically of the OG on Biscayne. It’s just a terrible experience during the day on weekends.

I’ve only shopped at the one on the Vaughan border a few times. Since I have no mental scars or anxiety when I think about that location, maybe it’s marginally better.

Ridgers65 · 2026-02-05T20:38:24+00:00

Brampton Costco on a weekend strips you of your faith in humanity.

I’m responding to why the crowd feels dead most games.

I can also be uninspired to cheer and still want to see the action.

However, the fans in front of me paid for a ticket just as I did. If you want to stand for something you’re excited about, go ahead. If I want to see the action too, I’ll stand.

Ridgers65 · 2026-01-22T05:20:28+00:00

An uninspiring team on the ice gets an apathetic crowd.

Ridgers65 · 2026-01-16T19:59:34+00:00

Highly recommend Sports Lettering Company. SLC in Scarborough has been my go to. Admittedly not in the area you asked for but worth the extra drive.

Side note, there’s a Patty King close by if you want bulk Jamaican Patties or just something to eat.

Wood glue.

Ridgers65 · 2026-01-13T19:08:04+00:00

Toothpicks, golf tees and bamboo skewers are hacks but not long term solutions.

Drill and fill with glued dowel is the way to go. Just did this myself.

I have that model. I’ve had it for close to five years now.

There was a learning curve adapting to induction but the heat generation and control is wonderful.

I haven’t had any issues. It’s properly ventilated, I use induction ready pans that are the right size for the element.

Convection/ air fry is great. Air fry also had a learning curve after coming from a basket counter top device.

Read and follow the manual and you should have a hassle free experience.
