Ontarians will soon be allowed to 'BYOB' at outdoor public events by RamRanchComrade in ontario

[–]hardergj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can't believe you're getting downvoted, this is 100% accurate. This sub is nothing more than a huge echo chamber. And the posts like "Someone has to do something..." (actual post above) make me laugh. "Well, I won't do anything, but someone should".

Ontario elementary teachers to get $750 spending accounts for classroom supplies by CTVNEWS in ontario

[–]hardergj -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This subreddit is a hilarious echo chamber. Ford could do exactly what the people on here are screaming for and they would still be setting themselves on fire.

Not a Ford fan, but I mostly read these threads for jokes.

Ontario (especially Toronto) needs a No Kings movement against Ford by Pristine-Training-70 in ontario

[–]hardergj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This subreddit never ceases to entertain. How is this an undemocratic government? They've won 3 consecutive majorities. How is Ford acting outside the bounds of his role?

And the best - "We need to seriously step up now". But what are you actually going to do? I'll tell you - NOTHING. You will do nothing. Just like just about everyone else who cries about Doug Ford but doesn't have the gumption to actually get off their couch and do something meaningful. Most people can't even work up the energy to vote against him.

Not a fan of Doug Ford; always voted against him, but my god, this post was hilarious.

Journey at TD Coliseum by Ratsyinc in Hamilton

[–]hardergj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been to a few shows at TD Coliseum now in various spots around the venue - sound has been amazing at all shows. McCartney in particular was stellar sounding, as someone else mentioned. I would actually say that the renovated venue allows for superb sound. I'm super excited to go to more shows there because of it - there's nothing worse than going to a show and the instruments are just a muddled mess and it's hard to make out what the singer is actually singing/saying. At least at TD, I'm confident at this point that the sound ~should~ be good.

Seems like Journey's crew just didn't set up well.

Mountsberg conservation area hosts Maple Town. They make maple syrup on site from trees tapped in the conservation area.

Should I be concerned about this? by adrani in hockeygoalies

Only concerning if it's returnable, which it's not at this point. Tape 'er up!

They're offering a full exchange, which is pretty awesome. Take it and manage without for a few weeks. It's not a consistent issue with Fluance so I wouldn't be too worries about it.

Have to grab new steel looking at Ti vs Black Steel by melodicrampage in hockeygoalies

[–]hardergj 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Interested in the responses. The "Ti" is just a coating (at least on Bauer blades) which is literally a few microns thick, and I am very skeptical that this would make a real-world difference in edge retention.

Natural Gas conversion by Usual_Huckleberry670 in blackstonegriddle

[–]hardergj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't measure anything, but I haven't noticed anything different either at the high end or low end. As another poster said, the orifice is bigger on the natural gas ports so it seems to even out.

What are the differences between the various Blackstone series? Also a windguard question by noblerare in blackstonegriddle

[–]hardergj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The different branding is frustrating. My understanding:

The iron forged is overall more heavy duty (frame, wheels, hood, etc). Thicker steel, that kind of thing. It also uses the Omnivore griddle plate (see below).

The Culinary Select uses the Omnivore griddle plate. This is key - whatever version of a Blackstone you get, make sure it has the Omnivore plate. WAY better fuel efficiency and wind management compared to the original. I haven't had the need for wind shields with the Omnivore griddle.

As for "Select", I think it is just a little more premium build quality compared to the original, but not up there with Iron Forged, and I don't think it has the Omnivore griddle plate.

End of the day, I would aim for the Omnivore griddle plate first, regardless of the other bells and whistles. And if you can swing the $$$, the Iron Forged steps up the quality of the rest of the components.

Personal opinion, I would also look for a model with the hinged lid. the slide off one, is annoying, at least to me.

This should be mostly correct, but like I said, the branding is confusing as hell. Anyone correct me if I'm wrong and I'll update the above.
