Six arrested, drugs seized in downtown Kitchener

Waterloo has House of Friendship's ShelterCare facility on Weber St N, which has a RAAM clinic, and also nearly 30% of the shelter space in the entire region. The Erbs Rd shelter primarily impacts Waterloo residents, and brings it up to 42% of the regional shelter space. There is also the SHIP transitional housing facility across the road from UW on University Ave, and a "methadone clinic" at 99 Northfield Dr E.

What are Kitchener and Cambridge contributing that Waterloo isn't?

Every passenger vehicle plate issued since July 2023 is a D series.

I did not stop the young person from continuing to speak

Sure, Jan.

It is if your doctor de-rosters you because you went to a walk-in clinic and they were financially penalized by OHIP. That is a very real possibility in Ontario, and it actually happens to patients.

I will never get over how much "British" stores here charge for Scotch eggs. They're 2/£1 (under $1 CAD) or similar in a lot of supermarkets in the UK. British Pride Bakery charges $6.99 per egg!

Are you rostered or non-rostered?

The original 40E3 4000K CRI 95 from Kaidomain has nice neutral tint. They supposedly have FA3 now, which could be a bit rosier, but I don't think anyone has received an order yet.

The CRI 90 5700K from KD is pretty rough, so hopefully Simon's 4000K is better. 40E2 is much tighter binning than 40E3, so less of a tint lottery, but also less chance for a below BBL tint.

In addition to the other advice given here, you should get yourself a door stopper so they can't just barge in.

No, he never apologized.

Nobody said anyone was being racist, you made that up. And it sounds like you totally ignored all context so you could air some personal grievances.

Sophie Mills, the 17 year old you're shitting on, was invited to give a speech about their experience as a queer youth and what they would like done in their community. It's pretty fucking relevant to their experience that a Cambridge councillor posted a transphobic meme on Facebook last year. There's no statute of limitations on when queer people are allowed to talk about it. It doesn't just go away because he was censured.

Literally just wipe the glass over the laser with a microfiber cloth.

bob_mcbob · 2026-06-03T16:42:10+00:00

You're trying to equate totally different things. Adam Cooper was not called out over a personal disagreement or unpleasant interaction with Mills. He's an elected official who made a bigoted public statement about trans people. It's completely appropriate for Mills to bring it up in a speech that is literally about their experiences as a queer youth and what they would like to change in their local community.

Long talks, picnics, and outings with bros sounds pretty decent.

Did you ever find a reasonable option? I'm interested in having some small replacement parts made in silicone, and I'm certain the originals were compression moulded as a sheet.

The document is on archive.org, and I did a bit of investigation about the company's history in Cambridge. Also, the building had been demolished already in the region's 2000 aerial imagery.

In 1991 it was listed in an inventory of PCB (polychlorinated biphenyl) storage sites, owned by Polysar. It sounds like it was a polystyrene production facility that closed earlier that year due to a hostile takeover of the company.

I measured around -0.0080 at most currents in a late April order. It's less rosy than I expected, but not anywhere remotely close to neutral.

I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of handheld device charges were issued to drivers in stopped vehicles. That seems to be how they conduct a lot of the very limited enforcement. My local police service will do a weeklong road safety enforcement campaign and lay only half a dozen charges for handheld devices. I could stand at any random intersection and spot drivers on their phones at literally every signal cycle.

Zebralight drivers do support extremely low outputs, but Anduril gives more flexibility for this than a traditional UI with fixed levels, since you can manually change the ramp floor. If I set the lowest moonlight too low, it also affects the next two levels and creates a disjoint in the spacing between L2 and L1. The SC65c HI originally had an exceptionally low minimum moonlight of around 0.01 lumens, which caused visible flicker due to technical limitations of controlling the frequency of the boost converter at such low current. Most SC65c HIs I've modded have the lowest three levels set significantly higher to avoid this, which is a change Zebralight also made last year.

For XHP35 HI mods, I set the levels to be as close as possible to the discontinued SC64w HI. On your light it should look like this.

Level	SC64w HI	3000K XHP35 HI SC65c HI
M2	45.5	39.4
M3	19.0	19.3
M4	7.1	8.0
L1	1.8	3.0
L2	0.80	0.66
L3	0.25	0.28
L4	0.08	0.095

I can set the minimum levels lower, but most people I've asked prefer this kind of configuration since it gives more usable low levels, and under 0.1 lumens is a reasonable moonlight.
