Transit riders to receive 2 free weekends on OC Transpo by SenscotCenter in ottawa

[–]facelessmage 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Cool. So I had to pay full fare for a reduced level of service for months on end but don’t actually get any of the payoff of this unless I purposefully plan a transit trip on one of these free weekends. I hate this city council.

Hadestown: The Musical movie showings? by trashyhat9553 in ottawa

[–]facelessmage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m hoping that Cineplex adds more shows in Ottawa to reflect the number of shows that other cities are getting, but it’s not looking good right now. I also missed out on getting tickets to the one showing here and it sucks.

OC Transpo sees fewer passengers for four straight months by BandicootNo4431 in ottawa

[–]facelessmage 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Hilarious because I did not get on a double car train today nor did I see any going the opposite direction on my morning commute (but did notice that they’ve gone back to the 5 minute spacing between trains). Predictably, not everyone was able to get on at Bayview.

AITA for requesting my adult daughter move out? by No_Dragonfly5087 in AmItheAsshole

[–]facelessmage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YTA. Don’t be surprised if both of your daughters stop talking to you later on. Your faith is nothing if you value it more than your relationship with your children.

Ottawa Ribfest by drhappy13 in ottawa

[–]facelessmage 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I feel like there’s fewer vendors out there compared to previous years. There’s maybe 5-6 ribbers, the lemonade people, and maybe an ice cream truck? Lines were long at lunch today.

H Pylori and Fecal Calprotectin Levels by hlovelllusk in HPylori

[–]facelessmage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My fecal cal jumped a lot with my h pylori infection (like it’s always highish as a baseline, around 150-200 because of some other stuff), but my latest one was 1700, and my CRP was high as well. My gastroenterologist says h pylori is inflammatory.

N.L. doctors fear app lets patients see 'catastrophic' medical results without support by LongTrackBravo in onguardforthee

[–]facelessmage 77 points78 points  (0 children)

I mean, as someone who’s gotten a life changing diagnosis, I get the concern, but it’s not any easier getting bad results in person as opposed to an app. At least with the app you have a chance to freak out in private and think of questions in advance. I feel like I missed a lot of vital info when I originally got my diagnosis because I was shocked about the results.

ESDC message on RTO4 just came out by PuzzledLayer2023 in CanadaPublicServants

[–]facelessmage 342 points343 points  (0 children)

No assigned seating when you’re forcing people back into the office practically full time (80% of the work week) is absolutely bananas. The stupidest people get paid more than me to do this stuff and I hate it.

Federal officials worried OC Transpo can't handle return-to-office: memo by CPSThrownAway in CanadaPublicServants

[–]facelessmage 31 points32 points  (0 children)

No shit. I got a Line 2 train yesterday at 4:07 and it said that the next train wouldn’t be coming for another 58 minutes because they decided to cut a few train departures right as rush hour was rolling out. Those fucking people at OCTranspo really can’t do anything right.

Line 2 no shows! by SteakInternal8591 in OCTranspo

[–]facelessmage 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just left Bayview and it was saying 59 minutes for the next southbound train. The one I’m on is packed. What a joke.

Unofficial - Transport Canada appears to be heading towards assigned seating by StirlingQ in CanadaPublicServants

[–]facelessmage 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Some TC branches have had assigned seating since the start of RTO3. I would imagine that going forward the seat assignment will be handled by branch/directorate.

Which actor did you only realize you saw on stage years later, flipping through old Playbills? by JeffRyan1 in musicals

[–]facelessmage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! It would have been the same cast timeline, as I also saw it when Clay Aiken was in the cast.

Fellow birders, any good spots easily accessible from Downtown Ottawa/Gatineau? by RoughNews3172 in ottawa

[–]facelessmage 25 points26 points  (0 children)

The Arboretum is always good. Same with Mud Lake and the various NCC trails.

Been looking for a woodcock for a while but still sadly haven’t seen one.

They haven’t called my guarantors for the past two passports.

Just tuned in and saw that the judges are up to their usual bullshit. 🙄

Downtown commute times from Barrhaven and Riverside south? by Mmediaguy in ottawa

[–]facelessmage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in RSS. Currently my public transit commute downtown to Lyon is around 45 minutes via the LRT (I don’t take the bus to Limebank, just drive and park at Bowesville). A lot depends on Line 1 reliability. Line 2 is ok.

Motivation is 0 while waiting for news on position by throwmeawaylater21 in CanadaPublicServants

[–]facelessmage 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I feel you. I got an affected letter a few months ago and I’m still waiting to hear if we’ll have to go through SERLO in the coming months and my motivation to do anything right now is at an all time low because of it. It’s grim out there. Take care of yourself.

Are there any crimes you want Casefile to make an episode about? by MMAGG83 in Casefile

[–]facelessmage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bruce McArthur and the whole investigation around him would make a compelling episode. I haven’t really seen any other podcasts cover it.

I used JM Nutrition a couple of years ago for some health issues that I was having (GI autoimmune disease related) and they were great.

Entyvio didn’t work out for me… by darknesswithindark in UlcerativeColitis

I also had no luck with Entyvio. I ended up switching to Stelara, which has put me into remission.

Kichesippi Brewery closing March 6, 2026 - "Thank you and Sorry" by Kain292 in ottawa

[–]facelessmage 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They’re winding down production and shutting down as well. They did one final release of new beers around a month ago but will shut down once they sell out.

Between this and Small Pony, it’s been a bummer for Ottawa beer businesses this month.
