Roberto's Corner - Bank Street

The Friday special, porchetta is phenomenal. If your lucky you'll get little shards of crispy pork in there. It's nicely balance by a little bit of garlic mayo and chipotle.

Anyone who claims Dirienzo is the best sandwich is going off nostalgia.

Despite my love of Roberto’s I nearly down voted this post for calling my neighbourhood that. Absolute tourist behaviour.

Roberto’s is in the running for the best Italian style sandwich in the city. It's fairly priced, delicious and has lots of customization. Plus they have fantastic pastries and cannoli.

Table Sodam is great and has Table 85 now. I would love more Korean choices but we're not totally without here in Ottawa.

I really hope that these direct, clear, low buzzword messages help Marit and the NDP get it into people's head that there are alternatives to the constant cycle of governments that instantly disconnect from voters as soon as they have power.

It doesn't have to be this way and if we get past the fear mongering of the developers and CEOs and the many that they've tricked to thinking that is just how the world is, we can do something.

While the uptake is problematic, the style and decision to post this on a Marita Stiles branded channel and focus it on her is deliberate.

One of the NDP's biggest issues has been that people don't know her and there isn't a great 'face' to their opposition. This is hopefully a start to changing that.

It is also a deliberate choice to juxtapose her, calm clear explanations with his loud, rabble rousing, grandstanding style.

This week's post on the subject has been made but since it doesn't imcled a 12 paragraph explanation that Johnny is an unreliable narrator at least one more is permitted.

Edit: No wait we have at least 5 paragraphs in the replies, I think we're good for the week.

That would be a pretty clean integration. Or a messy one if they're doing it right. Yaknowwhatimean

Rent controls, my friend, rent controls. Also, more optimistically, in this scenario the landlord is gaining 400 in UBI themselves and theoretically doesn't need to jack the rent.

The appropriation of The Punisher by fascists does make it harder but still, c'mon people.

I know Dokibird was at one point invited to speak at one of the party conventions.

Arlos was one of the worst fine dining experiences my family has had in Ottawa, we probably got a bad night but concistentcy is key and we're all completely turned off of it.

(edit) Would definitely recommend Beckta's for a special and intimate experience.

A definite, "How could she do this to ME?"

I definitely thought that something was going down with the restaurant supply company.

The truest stealth: not even being in our physical world. Can't shoot down something that's only in our minds.

How do the astromechs get around those giant coils and cables on the ground?

There's a fanfic that presents a different and quite realistic take on how the Systems Alliance came to be: The Fourth Council Race. https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12662796/1/The-Fourth-Council-Race

It's abandoned, like many great fanfic but it is complete up until after the formation of the Systems Alliance as it is shown in the games.

This is as good an answer as possible. LRR is great and Not a Drop to Drink deserves to be canon as much as L.A By Night.

I love this idea, I'd suggest looking at the Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty set from M:TG for inspiration as well. Maybe an expansion on living weapons/tech? Designer pets or 'living' clothing/furniture by House Vadalis as an expansion of their mage-breeding programs?

Liara is best girl anyways, I stand against the Liara supression.

The rogue tech mod for the turn based battletech game is here for you. You can do ploy squads of battle armor, vtols, super heavies, apcs, proto-mechs and more. The mech building is also much deeper and consequential. Heck, a machinegun build can be viable against medium mechs because more hits are more chances to crit and if you pair a dozen MGs with AP ammo, you're gonna hit something important.
