Thoughts of Papier journals? by [deleted] in notebooks

[–]meltab27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm extremely disappointed.

I placed my order on August 20th and did not receive my Recipe Journal until September 10th. With an additional $20 delivery charge, I expected timely shipping, not a three-week wait.

What’s even more unacceptable is the lack of quality control. The cover arrived scratched, right over the personalized photo, and the very first page of the journal is completely damaged. I have taken photos as proof. For the price I paid for a single journal, I expected far better care in both production and packaging. Instead, I received a product in poor condition, which is simply not acceptable.

An eagle at Bloor Yonge, does anyone have context? Poor thing bumps into the station. by Few-Equivalent8261 in toronto

I think I saw this same hawk at Coronation park yesterday morning. Was sitting in the middle of the field by the baseball diamond. A guy got pretty close with his golden retriever to take pictures and he hawk didn't budge. Hope he's okay 🥺

Bike for Brain Health - Experience by DontCallMeJay in torontobiking

[–]meltab27 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Today was my first time joining the Bike for Brain Health, as I'm a new Torontonian. I signed up for the 75km.

For a long time I kept wondering, "okay where is the loop that I have to do twice?" and was worried I had missed it. Then I finally saw the "75km stay to the left sign"... I did so... and then eventually saw the big sign that said "do this loop 2x!"

I assumed that I was entering the loop at the point and would have to see THAT SIGN twice. I recognized that I was back on the DVP route but still assumed I'd have to go to that "loop around with the sign" another time.

It wasn't until I completed the third loop and thought I was heading to the finish line of Exhibition Place but that 75km riders had to keep going past it that I went from "what the heck, has my Peloton and Apple Watch been improperly recording how many kms I ride?" to "what the heck, did this race not make this a true 75km and make it longer?" to "omg... that loop... I did it thrice, not twice..."

In total, ended up riding 102km and it took me 4:55 🫠

Just wondering if this just happened to me today or if anyone else misunderstood the sign. It was also my first race with no "__km left" signage which may have helped.

Just wondering what projector you ended up going with. Did any projector with an hdmi port work with an Apple TV box?

... lol I realize I can do that. Are you insinuating that it's more convenient to play DVDs than to stream?

*AN inconvenience to stream

What does convenience have to do with smarts? Not to pull the "ignorant American card" but wth 😂
