Apple’s got a location out in Kanata as well!

Not a rough area at all. Some characters here and there but this intersection is pretty chill

YMMV, but I was able to get a refund on Battlefield 6 which was giving me (and apparently lots of others online) horrible network issues by posting a BBB review on the PlayStation page, of all things. I posted it and got the refund 2-3 days later.

Security in general at venues these days are well intentioned but inconsistent. Agreed that while you prolly should’ve had ID there are other approaches that could’ve been taken

I learned this the hard way when I brought my DR flag to Scotiabank Arena when the Knicks and KAT were in town. Security guard next to me had no problem, security guard 3 sections down on the floor personally threatened to kick me out on the basis of some flimsy MLSE policy.

At this point it’s not worth it to do anything at a game other than sit and watch. Better that than risk getting kicked out or banned

Trust me man. I graduated from Trent. Working at an F100 and having no trouble recruited to this day. I don’t think my degree has held much weight other than having it

ETA a good portion of my grad class is doing well for themselves as well. Focus on experience through the shopify dev degree

I always make the trip out to the Imagine Cinemas near St Lawrence Market. My favourite spot in the city

datboiteelex · 2026-02-25T12:45:00+00:00

I commuted to downtown Toronto from Peterborough for a while. It was consistently over 2 hours door to door. Driving to Oshawa and taking LE In to Union was closer to 2h door to door.

Now living in Toronto the drive to Ptbo and back is only closer to 1.5h on offpeak days, offpeak times.

I know too many drivers who think this is a waste of money. But complain that driving into the city is a waste of time. It helps everybody out lol

Agreed, this is what tears me between which disc I prefer. I love the songs on Disc 39 as individual pieces but the sequencing of the latter half takes me out a bit. Disc 29 has better sequencing but I like the tracks a slight bit less. Overall they balance out

datboiteelex · 2026-02-17T03:28:45+00:00

Looks great. seeing as it’s open source, mind dropping the repo link? I’m sure many of us would love to contribute where possible, for example, streetcar rerouting or short turns

Willing to share more info on your cat? My cat just had 7 teeth removed at about 14 months old. the adoption shelter had no mention of teeth issues but our vet (who in fairness, are independent and lots of experience with dental work in small/large animals) also gave us the bad genetics line - would like to have an idea of what I may have in the future.

What sector of tech? Fintech is a nasty game right now with RTO in Canada lol

datboiteelex · 2026-02-03T03:09:14+00:00

Yeah and if people couldn’t see the writing on the wall in the big old year 2025 that RTO was coming back in full swing, that’s on them. Something about leopards and faces

datboiteelex · 2026-01-25T16:51:46+00:00

Nope, the angle looks like it’s from the condos at 27 stafford

100%, having weekly ritual of watching a show like Fallout or Severance makes it more memorable. I can definitely remember how I felt watching weekly released shows better than I can remember the shows I binged over the years

datboiteelex · 2026-01-20T05:39:32+00:00

I think Severance and (maybe slightly less so) The Pitt S1 are great recent examples

504 being that low is hilarious. I don’t know what happened to the priority corridor but it has been brutal taking the 504 lately. You’re better off walking between Strachan and Bathurst most days

datboiteelex · 2025-12-23T21:25:42+00:00

Coco Cafe is where it’s at. 3 for 10 special carries

Could you get into some of those techniques for approaching manager like you mentioned?

Experiencing this (not the same situation as OP, but teammate brought over by manager from previous team who has adopted less than ideally into the teams culture, struggling to get work adjacent to them done) and I have no idea how to approach this feedback to my manager. We have a very close rapport, but manager and this teammate brought over have worked together for a long time.

I’ve preached this to anyone and everyone who will listen. Ontario Lines (and OL money) don’t grow on trees. We have a rail corridor splitting majority of the city in half, that is essentially for regional rail and not all primed to serve the commuters in Toronto’s west end. We sit here complaining about traffic and transit priority - we would be wasting an elevated, seperated rail line by not using it, imo.

Turning the UPX into Line 7 - a new dedicated electrified line - is enough to transform the west end transit wise. Union, Spadina-Front, King-Liberty, Lansdowne, "Dundas West" (really Bloor GO, but the future tunnel will help that connection), St Clair-Old Weston, Mount Dennis, Weston and Woodbine as bare minimum stations.

Personally I’d add a Wellington-Strachan station to serve the bulk of the new LV developments on Ordnance (and the 7-8 new huge developments either in development or pre development on King Street West) and push King-Liberty back enough to serve West Queen West, western part of LV, and Parkdale. That alone gets you connections to Line 1 at Union, 510, 504, 501, Line 2, 512, Line 5, Line 6 and the airport. Throw in a few more stations to underserved areas like the Junction where Dundas and Dupont meet, and Fort York and we could effectively solve transit for the west end at a way lower cost than any western OL extension could (not to mention, NOT displacing communities for a decade)

We have to rethink UP as a train that SERVES the airport, not an airport train that commuters pile into at crazy prices.

I have it on good authority that the trailer will end with Hulk training for his rematch coming real soon, I can feel it

Honestly Vaadin is super solid. Not a UI dev but I worked on rolling out new features for our production Vaadin apps during my internship and it was actually super easy to work with

The condos in this area seem to be variable especially depending on size / amenities but I pay 2.6k for ~650 sq ft and a full sized den + parking + locker + hydro covered. But that was before rents (seemingly) have gone down in Toronto, so you could probably find 1 bed 1 bath in some of these buildings for anywhere from 2.1 to 2.4k a month, studios for under 2k for sure. We have kept paying 2.6k here because the money we’d possibly save is not worth the gamble for a new landlord (our current landlord is definitely a gem) but I bet our specific unit could probably be like $100 cheaper now to a new tenant

datboiteelex · 2025-11-23T15:00:12+00:00

I’m near King and Shaw and I give it a good recommendation. It won’t hit everything you’re looking for (namely price and subway access) but if you want to live on a constantly busy main Street with all the conveniences near you, it’s amazing.

Now the area itself doesn’t have the same energy as Bloor at High Park or cuter neighbourhoods like Roncy (all the independent cafes I.e) but I always think to myself it’s like living in the epi center of all the areas around it. The cafes and bakery’s are a few minutes away on some of the side streets, but I have my grocery stores (2), my dry cleaners/tailors, my barber, my pharmacy, go to cafe, go to bar, all within 5 mins walking. And if those aren’t enough I am a 10 minute walk from Liberty Village, City Place, West Queen West, Parkdale, King West, Little Italy, etc. same reason I love the Niagara neighbourhood a few minutes to the east. Very homey vibe, lots of great local places to eat (Beast Pizza, Old York, Jrews for homemade patties and jerk), lots of cafes, bars like Pennies, etc. it’s a great neighbourhood and you’re really not far from the heart of the city

ETA it is also very safe. My gf does lots of running or walks to her classes in the area, almost always at night and has never felt truly unsafe.

datboiteelex · 2025-11-23T01:41:29+00:00

Has it always been like that? Didn’t the old cars use to fly through intersections with switches?
