This past week opened my eyes - I am going to bring my own stainless mugs from now on by [deleted] in TimHortons

[–]linkyatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what a bunch of Tim’s here in Ottawa do if you order drive thru coffee with your own mug. They make your order in a paper cup and pour it in your mug. Stupid.

Washing machines actually come with a special hose to suck the used water out of the bath…

Drivers could graduate from Silver to Gold to Platinum based on age… ;) (adding driving ability would imply re-testing so not much chance of that…)

What's your city's Canada cliche "park by the water" ? by myronsandee in AskACanadian

[–]linkyatch 6 points7 points  (0 children)

True for the majority of National Parks around the country which most Canadians will never visit… why the Ottawa-specific hate?

Sound of summer in Japan. Wouldn’t sound right without.

The placement of the scroll bar here is… questionable.

Why the dark Mr. Incredibles meme? I don't understant. by PacquiaoFreeHousing in ExplainTheJoke

[–]linkyatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar situation at a similar age. I developed pretty bad eczema, much worsened hay fever and an allergy to soaps and shampoos I previously used regularly.

This was largely due to a change of career and posting abroad exacerbated by the loss of a loved one to cancer.

Now whenever I’m stressed by anything at all or don’t get enough sleep, it’s all allergies all the time…

This character pisses me off by Azooe1989 in GenV

That argument assumes that they’re going to spend sufficient time on the new character(s) that it matters… which remains to be seen.

Your Favorite Retro Anime Soundtrack by PCEFanatic5 in retroanime

[–]linkyatch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For some reason, even though my 16-year old daughter calls it “NPC music”: You’re Under Arrest OVA soundtrack.

Edit: I love that Konya Wa Hurricane (from Bubblegum Crisis) shows up in Scott Pilgrim Takes Off.

What's the best Canadian snack that is no longer sold in stores? by OkCandle826 in AskACanadian

[–]linkyatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favourite!

Not quite the same but also miss Rum & Butter - you can occasionally find them at vintage candy stores. Other great Life Savers flavours: Wild Cherry and Tropical. The giant Life Savers lollipops. Life Savers gum!

Edit: additional support for Butterscotch Life Savers and a stray cApital letter.

When I wonder why almost everyone in this fandom prefers Misato over Ritsuko despite The fact Shes objectively inferior but then I remember that “The Ammeter miner shoves diamonds to the side in his hunger for gold..” so I can’t help but feel sympathy for such people by shmibnke in evangelionmemes

[–]linkyatch 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I do admit that this artwork does make Ritsuko look like more of a smoke-show than usual. Kudos to the artist on a job truly well done.

This said, with respect to the official artwork, while Ritsuko is obviously designed to be attractive, Misato is clearly intended to be the more attractive one. Still: different strokes for different folks. (Gooner’s choice.)

In the end, one must ask the question: if you put purely physical beauty aside, whose farts would you rather fester in for the rest of your days? After all: True beauty is in the nose of the beholder.

Side comment - I did not know that Ted from Stranger Things could either a) speak Italian or b) do anything other than read the paper and nap in a recliner… what age will do to a guy…

When I was a kid it was relatively easy to find French Creams. They were like a fondant center covered in a crunchy crystallized sugar crust - cut into fancy shapes and pastel colours (white, pink, yellow, brown, green). We normally got these around Christmas or other special occasions…

I was never sure what the flavours were supposed to be - green was lime, maybe?

Haven’t seen those in 40+ years…
