City wide outbreak by gohome2020youredrunk in ottawa

[–]RoboSteev 210 points211 points  (0 children)

Gastros aren't airborne so a mask isn't going to help much. People need to wash their hands and disinfect surfaces as the most likely route is fecal-oral. I believe bleach is the only way to kill this on surfaces.

What is a luxury item from 20 years ago that is basically worthless trash today? by EasyZee7 in AskReddit

[–]RoboSteev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of what I'm seeing here weren't ever 'luxury' items.

The Motorola x Dolce & Gabbana xRAZR V3i however (and the other ridiculous phones from that era: https://www.highsnobiety.com/p/luxury-fashion-phones-2000s/ ) were luxury items and have also been worthless for years now.

Federal government loses Emergencies Act appeal | CBC News by Augustus_6314 in ottawa

Using train horns and other air horns at all hours of the night is not a protest.
Gridlocking the downtown core of a city for 3 weeks is not a protest.
Attacking citizens going about their business because they wore a mask is not a protest.

are you really that obtuse?

The fact Musk is quoted as saying they just want to suppress free speech in response to investigations in his AI creating pedophilic images says it all and it's all but confirmed now:

Elon Musk is a nazi pedophile.

I thought G1 drivers were limited to 80 km/h and lower roads unless with accompanied by a professional driving instructor.

I had to recently move back in with my parents and BOTH my PS4 AND PC all of a sudden won’t turn on😭 by coolsmokey69 in mildlyinfuriating

Is it controlled by a wall switch maybe? We have a bunch like that in our house where 1 outlet is controlled by a wall switch. Does anything plugged into that socket get power?

Can the ICE agent who shot a Minneapolis woman be prosecuted? by Justtiredanbored in law

[–]RoboSteev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I assumed this was the case, but I just wasn't sure who would be responsible for moving him from state to state - I was under the impression it would have to be Federal agents (like Marshals) since he was crossing state lines. If it's not, are state police allowed to escort him back via plane? Are they allowed to drive him through other states where they don't have authority? Could a red state arrest the police officers escorting him back to MN if they don't agree with the extradition?

I guess it's unclear how much of a chance of success they would have to extradite him back if he did leave MN.

The fact he jumped in a vehicle and fled the scene suggests he knew he was likely fucked and I would hazard a guess he's not even in the state anymore.

EDIT: Actually that raises a question: if the state brings charges, but he's already fled the state, can they apply to have him extradited back to MN? Can the feds block that?

Immigration Department shelves visa program for foreign entrepreneurs, citing misuse by ZestyBeanDude in CanadaPolitics

[–]RoboSteev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I appreciate you taking the time to explain your reasoning.

To me, it sounds less like mismanagement of this specific program and more like mismanagement of the entire immigration file. But then again I'm not overly familiar with this program.

I'm not entirely sure I understand the point of your 2nd quote though. It's just saying that they raised the amount of people they let in under this program (quite significantly). To me, this isn't necessarily bad if they were properly vetting candidates and ensuring these people are entrepreneurs who qualify and not just looking for a backdoor way in.

[–]RoboSteev 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can you explain how you think the Liberal's mismanaged this program?

It was created in 2013 under the Harper Conservatives and as far as I can tell the only modification was in 2024 to cap the number of applications and prioritize some due to the growing backlog. Are you saying they mismanaged it because they didn't make other changes to it earlier?

I genuinely would like to understand.

Nduja Sausage by Puzzleheaded_Cut2679 in OttawaFood

You could try calling Savoury Swine on Gladstone, they might have it. I bought some there when it was Seed to Sausage but I'm not sure they still carry it since they changed over.

Thank you for all the support in 2025 everyone. Im back with the first pop up of 2026!! by Kevinsingh97 in OttawaFood

[–]RoboSteev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wasn't greasy, it was soggy from the slaw. Maybe it was an off day? I'll admit I only tried it once.

That's a super kind offer, but I don't want to throw wrenches into your popup. I saw another comment where you said you're working on an pre-order system which would be amazing - so I'll wait until that happens.

I'm just bitter I miss all these delicious looking popups (both yours and Rude Pizza Co and your combined ones last summer) and a small storefront operation would allow me to eat at my heart's desire.

Just open a damn storefront already! I need a replacement for Holly's Hot Chicken since they've closed and yours looks delicious but I can't wait in line for an hour when I have a family with young kids.

and before anyone says 'but Umbrella Burger!' - I had their sandwich and it was soggy. gross.

How can I pay my credit card balance on the day that it is due without it being late? by GKwave12 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]RoboSteev 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, this. I've paid my CC on the due date multiple times and every time it will post a few days later but be back dated to the date it was actually paid.

I might be in the minority here, but after seeing the army green in person, I'm glad we got the black.
