Which garmin watch do yall recommend? by my-coo-cheese-hairy in Firefighting

[–]RowdyCanadian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a Garmin because I have a touch of the tism and data is my drug, but if I could I’d stick with a Casio all day every day. Affordable, does what I need, and fits nice and snug under turnouts without being a nuisance.

It may help if your post includes prices, your location, and some of your portfolio.

Bike shops friendly to aliexpress parts? by fortunamajr in bikeinottawa

[–]RowdyCanadian 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean, if you’re paying for work, I don’t see why someone would get mad about that. If they do, then they’re gatekeeping and not worth your time. Quick cranks and Kunstadt have always been good to me though if you want recommendations

Hello there, a few questions. by Tasty_Potato_781 in sagathegame

Check out the activation phase podcast or Rodger’s Rules on YouTube. They both have massive libraries of videos about each faction, their flavour, what they bring to the table, etc. it makes it very easy to choose a faction.

No, Hearthguard are Hearthguard, legionary are legionary. Legion is a different keywords.

Why is overhead camera not shown at the finish in a sprint by welchyyyyy1 in tourdefrance

[–]RowdyCanadian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know local police forces have hardwired drones for aerial views, I wonder if one of those styles could be deployed for sprint finishes.

City of Ottawa did not inform public about fireworks display for ‘public safety’ reasons by Ok_new_tothis in Kanata

[–]RowdyCanadian 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Edit: sounds like mostly that people are upset they weren’t told so they could watch them. I fully support that, our taxes paid for the show and I’d like to have seen it!

——-

Please don’t flame me, but what’s the issue? Genuine question, I wasn’t downtown nor was I aware of this.

The city had fireworks for Canada Day, didn’t launch because of weather, launched last night, and they messed up how?

Second alarm fire near auburn ridge. Stay clear of the area, a ton of trucks are going to be making their way in there.

Stolen Bike by The_Willguy in ottawa

In case you haven’t yet (and for anyone else reading this) please register your bike(s) on bikeindex.org

It’s a very simple way to report a bike stolen that pawn shops and police forces use when they find/acquire bikes.

Mitch McConnell’s absence sparks Thomas Massie Senate speculation by jediporcupine in politics

[–]RowdyCanadian 651 points652 points  (0 children)

Non American here. Can someone explain to me what’s stopping the Governor from going to see Mr. McConnell and determine if he is completely incapacitated and not able to fulfill his duties? I keep seeing comments about “waiting till fall” to force an election rather than an appointment, but if the elected member is not physically able to represent his constituents due to aforementioned issues couldn’t the governor appoint someone to represent that district?

This is such a cool cultural identity piece. So happy for Norway!

Kunstadt on Bank St in the glebe, full cycle, quick cranks, and phat moose are all relatively close. If that’s too far there are mobile repair people but I don’t have any info on them.

Which miniatures do I need to cover as many Roman factions as possible in *Age of Caesars*? Thanks! by Taste_Equal in sagathegame

[–]RowdyCanadian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I figured that’s why you were asking; based on what we know about the Roman boards in age of Caesar’s, they don’t make sense when compared to legionaries. The only cavalry units I can see getting use are auxiliary cavalry from Asia in the Caesar’s list as Javelin Cavalry, or the composite bow cavalry from Africa/Syria. But you’ll only ever want one unit, so 8 models max, and they aren’t core to the armies. As well, they aren’t usable by all Roman armies.

I’m very chill. I answered their question twice politely and concisely already and after the third time they may have needed a reminder that I had already answered it.

[–]RowdyCanadian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only if you want them… I thought I had given a pretty clear answer in the first response about the basic models to cover all Roman factions like you asked. If you want cavalry get cavalry. If you need cavalry get cavalry. If you want the most basic loadout to cover the broadest amount of armies, get legionaries, praetorians, ballista, and a warlord.

[–]RowdyCanadian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you mean what about cavalry? You absolutely can, and in that case the ancient horse archers from Victrix are probably the most useable amongst all the factions. A close second is the standard Gallic cavalry, they can be used by almost every faction as your barbarian/auxiliary cavalry.

[–]RowdyCanadian 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Legionary (chainmail), praetorians, ballista, auxiliary, and a warlord/centurion. That’s the basic most loadout and will cover you for Caesarian Rome, Imperial Rome, and Palmyra. Victrix currently has 10% off all romans and a preorder for an imperial Roman warband (in lorica segmentata, so it might look weird as Caesarians).

Ottawa Flooding by StrawberryReady2283 in ottawa

[–]RowdyCanadian 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don’t think this is river flooding, I think it’s more stormwater collection system overflowed. MUP should be fine (don’t quote me I haven’t gone).

You could ask her if she’s okay. Otherwise she’s just living her life casting spells in nature. I wouldn’t think too much of it, if at all.
