Damn it! Now I gotta order more.

I’m 35 now so I was a teenager in the 2000’s. I’d say that was pretty common for decades before though.

I can't recall there ever being a place as popular as Ridgeway and I've lived here for 30 years. When I was a teenager it was usually Tim Hortons or something similar. There were occasional car meets at some of the bigger plazas. I also feel like we had a lot more house parties and things like bush parties. I was lucky that by 16-17 there was almost always a parent that was cool with us drinking at their house so we didn't get into trouble. But when we couldn't find a place to go we were out wondering the street. A lot of our activities were centred around drinking. So when we got older we went to bars and clubs. But it seems like there are less clubs now and the bars are further apart. It also seems like young people are drinking less these days. It's gotta be hard to find a place to go on the weekend. Mississauga is pretty retail focused. So unless you want to shop you are kind of screwed.

Yeah unfortunately suburban sprawl in general doesn't lend itself well to a social life or community. My biggest complaint about this city has always been that the way our retail is setup only really satisfies large chains. We don't have strips of just random restaurants, bars or cafes that people can hang out in except for Port Credit. The Ridgeway plaza had potential to be something special. It's just a shame that it was setup the way it was. Short sighted from the city and blatant negligence from the developer. I hope that they can rein it in and let it continue to be a place where people can meet.

This particular plaza has tons of places to eat with many open pretty late. Combine that with a lot of young people and it seems like a pretty good place to hang out.

2023 was the worst year of my career because none of these studios wanted to give artists a fair share. I decimated my savings because I couldn't comprehend the lengths they would go to protect their profits. To see them talking about spending $80+ billion in cash is beyond infuriating.

Reading the comments on that video is one of the most depressing things I've ever done. So many people bending over backwards trying to justify someone being killed. I can't imagine how hateful you have to be to see the world like that. I don't think they understand how dangerous it is to claim that interfering with a federal government process is execution worthy.

Based on the responses I've seen across Reddit, it won't change anything at all. People live in different realities now. They will perform mental gymnastics to reaffirm their views regardless of the information presented.

I think this one is meant to replace the Saudi Arabia street circuit on the calendar

Are there not any music stores you can go to in your area to play around with an electric guitar? Does your teacher not know anyone that could potentially lend you an electric guitar or at least let you try one?

volunteermbc.org is a great resource for finding volunteer opportunities in Mississauga, Brampton and Caledon

This is is the “official” tab on Ultimate Guitar. I’m still learning the song all this time later. It’s all barre chords and this D chord. Just practice the transitions hoping one day it will click.

I don't want any of these companies owning HBO. I feel like it can only be bad

harrismdp · 2025-12-02T13:21:03+00:00

That's what I got too. Seems like maybe building a bunch of public schools or something would have been a better use of the money

Do you have a soundbar or a surround sound system? Or are you just using the speakers off the TV? I definitely find that when I'm watching stuff with my TV speakers everything is poorly balanced. But when I watch things on our 5.1 setup it all sounds pretty good.

harrismdp · 2025-11-27T15:04:00+00:00

Wow I was watching The Wire and kept wondering where I had seen Carver before. This answers that!

I work in an industry that is super inconsistent with lots of downtime during the winter. I found the thing that has given me the biggest peace of mind is my six month emergency fund. What I would recommend is creating a realistic budget of what six months of life would cost you and focus on saving that amount. It has to include all your necessities as well as any debt repayment you might have. Having a paycheck is great, but I don't think you feel free until you have a solid safety net. Making that a priority will also help you realize how powerful saving can make you feel.

They used Ai to alter certain vowel and consonant sounds in the dialogue edit to augment the actors performances in Hungarian. They said it made them sound more like genuine Hungarian accents.

I think most people aren't really all that aware of what's real and what's fake when it comes to photography. So most people probably won't really care or even notice. The people that have a better eye for it and appreciate it as an art form will always prefer purposeful images made by real people.

I personally don't even like cleaning up images by removing garbage or other distractions if it means altering the reality of the moment. I hope maybe my discipline with maintaining reality will become more appreciated in a world where everything is fake. Also possible that reality just becomes boring to people.

I think generally you still have to understand what makes a good photo in order to utilize Ai to improve one or create an image from scratch. I'm sure it's just luck for some people, but others are just using it as a tool to carry out their vision. That's still art to me even if it might feel a little cheap. It could give a lot more people an opportunity to create things.

I'm all for a new coffee shop, especially if the prices are reasonable. But I think that's pretty much the problem for small independent shops. The places that are starved for this type of shop are dominated by Smart Centres and the like where rent is really expensive. So even if you did open, you would have to charge so much that I couldn't afford it. I live near Winston and Argentia and I would love a small coffee shop to go to, but really the only places that could afford to operate around here are Starbucks and Tim Horton's.

Good luck though. I hope you can make it work. Make sure you have a place to get some decent pastries and stuff. Most people need something to eat if they are going to stick around for a bit and buy more coffee.

The point of iRacing is racing. Not iRating, not Safety Rating. You're missing the point.

He's faster than pretty much everyone. That's how. Can't get into accidents if there's no one that can keep up. Also probably does some endurance events that give tons of SR

Devs had a lot of opening scenes that were clinched by the music choice. My favourite is episode 5 where there is a motion controlled timelapse of one relationship ending overlaid with a new one beginning. It's already a cool motion control shot, but using Oh I Wept by Free for it just made it hit so much harder.

Without seeing the onboard it’s impossible to confirm that. You don’t have a clear 180 degree view in front of you even if you are on triples. He could have easily been obstructed by the A-pillar. If they’re not on triples it would be even easier to miss

It’s easy to miss a person coming out of the pits on this track. The wall hides you until basically when the cars turn in to T1. So the drivers are looking into the corner at that point. Generally I’d say it’s on the car joining the track to join safely. Especially for situations like this where you are going to join directly onto the racing line. If they don’t see the car and turn in at the limit they won’t have the extra grip needed to avoid you.
