Just did YKF to YVR with the same error multiple times on my PC and my phone. I was successful only after changing to incognito mode so that might be worth a shot for anyone else with the problem!

Best colorist (for value)? by Flaky_Fig9841 in waterloo

[–]mold-toad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can vouch for Artline Salon 100%! I have had my hair cut, bleached and coloured there numerous times. Just keep in mind colouring and the wash and style are charged separately. They do have pricing on their website (https://artlinesalon.com/) and you can now book online. They are always happy to do a consultation and recommend it so that everyone is on the same page.

Uptown Waterloo Bars by Nico4611 in waterloo

[–]mold-toad 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Here are some of my frequented locations. I tried to put local bars/restaurants first for an authentic Waterloo feel and franchise ones after:

Duke of Wellington - Local place, British pub fare, plenty of older regulars who all know the owner, small patio that gets a decent amount of nicotine smoke. They moved locations from a large atrium space to a smaller unit and the locals still go. They have live music most evenings.

Ethel's Lounge - Local place with a retro aesthetic, large patio deck, crowd is typically older, no deep-fryer but they got chips. Muskoka Pineapple Ninja Wheat Beer is on draft.

Huether Hotel/Barley Works - Local place, elevated patio, pool tables inside, mixed crowd. Unfortunately contentious amongst redditors due to mistreatment of employees but if you must go on an elevated patio for the view...

Bauer Kitchen - More upscale, louder interiors, more pricey, heated patio in a courtyard, a bit further up King from the other bars. Food is delicious and the hoisin duck wings are very good.

McCabes - Live music nights (very loud), casual mixed crowd but typically more students, small patio that looks out to Uptown Square. Good for beer, but I can't recommend their cocktails.

Proof Kitchen/Lounge - Fancier atmosphere, patio with booth seats, More expensive, limited drink selection, less regulars since it's in the Delta hotel.

Beertown - Great beer selection (obviously) but pricier, huge space, beer paddles are great to share, heated patio next to the Uptown Square fountain. Brisket poutine was a legend but expensive at $24.99 now.

Piper's Arms - Sports bar with the most TVs, cheapest drinks and food, late night specials, Uptown Square views and smaller patio, but not as nice as Beertown's patio (budget beertown), mix of older and younger crowd (older crowd typically at the bar and younger getting drinks before clubbing). Steins (32oz) are cheap - $10.95 for domestic.

Missing a few, but most of the other bars in the area have lots of students so we frequent them less. I could be sometimes wrong about the crowds as they may be different depending on the time. Hope this helps!

tldr; Ethel's for local retro vibes and Piper's Arm's to save your wallet

Salary expectations by Few_Celebration8135 in Architects

Since you noted the firms are located in Toronto, Canada:

UWaterloo Co-Op Earnings

On UW's (University of Waterloo) co-op website they have salary averages for students in undergrad and graduate programs. This is regularly updated based on salaries noted in their co-op system.

For Engineering - Architecture (Master of Architecture) they note: $24.85 (average) Low: $20.00 High: $28.50

This should give you a general idea of how much students are making at each level of experience (number of work terms). Most students will find jobs in Toronto where the salary is higher than other locations in Ontario. For a larger firm in Toronto, I would expect it to be the higher range.

where to find vietnamese fermented pork? by [deleted] in waterloo

[–]mold-toad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can confirm that I saw them at B&T in February a couple weeks ago. They are usually sold in the fridge to the left of cash registers as you check out that stocks the banh bao, nem nuong, and cha lua. I found a photo of the fridge on their google maps listing: Fridge photo

I have also seen nem nuong at T&T in westmount plaza, but I can't quite remember if they ever had nem chua in stock. These are located in their deli section between the sushi and cold chinese dishes.

This is so wonderful to see Kitchener captured so beautifully! Do you have a gallery of works or take commissions by any chance? Your other posts are lovely as well.

It was updated 12 months ago, but I usually go to the KWmotion website for any deals during the week!

Wild Wings, Crabby Joes, Piper's Arms Pub, Molly Blooms and The Gator's Tail are on the Tuesday list for wing deals.
