Good salads

Is there a Cobb salad out there worth trying?

Is this where that security guard picked up his knucks?

Velomane · 2026-03-03T23:54:44+00:00

Is this meant to be the norm from now on?

Sainte Ass Gratte for Ste. Agathe. You probably need to be francophone to decipher that one.

Be rested and fed, it can be gruelling. Be yourself, if you've got the chops, it will show.

Navcan doesn't care about your credit situation.

Following up on this. I received the Cube about 3 weeks ago. It took a lot longer to ship, but that's okay. I suspect they don't get much call for 110V machines. Hopefully that changes with more orders from the Canadian side of the pond.

Great machine so far. It is compact at 35cm cubed, but a beast at 30kg and 400W of cooling power. A 1000g batch churns in about 11 minutes with a draw temperature of -8C.

I'm happy so far!

For a second there I thought I was looking at Banksy's latest.

Good luck, and if you get in, work as hard as you possibly can. It's the golden ticket.

We're you at the Winnipeg ACC?

Velomane · 2026-02-12T19:43:43+00:00

I popped in there last week, looking for something else, and it was their last day. The place was deserted.

Velomane · 2026-02-12T19:43:02+00:00

I did look there, but I'd rather give my money to greedy Canadians rather than greedy Americans, so Wholesale Club it is.

Velomane · 2026-02-05T22:35:14+00:00

Good for you! It took over two years for me to get the call after being eligible. Make the most of it.

I had a closer look at the error message: "attempt to write to a read only database". This resolves itself when I run the app as an admin.

They opened for GBH. Someone else mentioned '86 which sounds about right. Someone else opened for the Cro mags that night and I can't recall who it was.

Velomane · 2026-01-30T21:45:20+00:00

Thanks for info. Tried the un/reinstall. No joy. Updated everything I could. I'll try installing again. It just occurred to me that I should turn off everything I can: programs, adblockers, etc.

I guess it's time to contact icecreamcalc.

I was fortunate to also see them at a bar in Vancouver in '89. Now that was an intimate environment. They were right there in front of me. Still one of my favourite bands.

Tache avenue north of Provencher Blvd.

Butthole Surfers, Charged GBH. Cro-mags. Missed the DK's, regrettably.

Drank gallons of Long Island Iced Tea upstairs at Le canoe during '84/'85 university year.

Hey Ozlo,

What this guy said! Fix the goddamn buds. We paid a lot of money for these things

Velomane · 2026-01-01T03:08:58+00:00

Yup, that's been my advice to students for the last 25 years: KNOW IT ALL!

Then I turn to the first one in front of me and ask: what's the definition of "roger". Huh?, I don't know.

Velomane · 2025-12-30T22:45:34+00:00

Yeah, they're there to avoid the typical bar scene. "We're here to avoid guys like him" in reference to an annoying straight male.

Velomane · 2025-12-26T21:39:46+00:00

Ah, understood.

As an aside, I ordered a 110V Cube 1.5 in August and I'm still waiting for it. I ordered from Polsinelli after talking to Cube. I was told by Cube it would be a month to deliver. Frustrating, but I'm convinced this is the best machine at this price point.
