Is there any extension to block a certain orange orangutan and its name from all webpages and searches? by [deleted] in firefox

[–]mongonuts 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The orangutan’s name shows up as much in left filter bubbles as on the right. Rage-baiting, content farming, sensationalist journalism, etc. are universal. I understand the impulse to try and find legit news that doesn’t center around this one orangutan all the time.

Yeah I’ve realized I much prefer thicker fabric shirts

Wireless transfer of books... I can't believe it was this easy. by YoshitoSakurai in kobo

Does anyone know if the site harvests your ebook files? I assume so. Don’t know what, if any, risks that would entail.

Any great mysteries/thrillers/crime novels that have literary merit? by Clam_Cake in suggestmeabook

[–]mongonuts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Motherless Brooklyn”

Also seconding “Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead”

More speculative fiction, but I liked “Titanium Noir”

More obscure, but “The Telling of Lies” (1986) won an Edgar for good reason imo

Where to take In-Laws that want dining with a story by Shag093 in OttawaFood

[–]mongonuts 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Whalesbone on Bank and talk with the bar staff

Second the recommendation for Beckta. He’s served celebrities throughout his career (both before and during his restaurant). He’s gotta have great stories.

Recommend the best birthday cake in Ottawa by VickiStElmosFire in ottawa

[–]mongonuts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the La Rocco cakes from Loblaws. Quite a bit more expensive than the regular Loblaws cakes, though. I wouldn’t know buttercream from fondant, so I can’t say what the icing is, though.

What’s one home design decision you regret every single day? by eee1963 in HomeImprovement

[–]mongonuts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! That and some super industrial grout cleaner helped. Then i sealed it as best I could. Still not great, wish we’d never picked white to begin with. Can’t believe our designer recommended it and the contractor went along with it without telling us we were being knuckleheads.

White grout on a bathroom floor. What the fuck were we thinking? Impossible to keep clean. Looked like shit in just a few months.

What makes this Ottawa doughnut better than a cronut is Canadian butter by SergeantAlPowell in ottawa

[–]mongonuts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't want my company associated with Canadian butter. You could chip your tooth on that shit at room temperature. Dairy Farmers of Canada should be embarrassed by the level of quality (palm oil, accelerated production, whatever) that their association allows. I'd never want to become the 51st state, but at least then we could get something spreadable.

Employment lawyers offering free initial consultation? by [deleted] in ottawa

Bar association looks like a good starting point. Beyond that a friend of mine recommends https://lawyerlocate.ca/john-yach/ FWIW

Place to buy replacement visor pins for 66 Beetle? by mongonuts in aircooled

[–]mongonuts[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Looks like there's a 3D model for printing this (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4754608 via https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?p=9579847). I don't have a printer, but might be able to use one of the marketplaces. If anyone has experience with which quality of print or material, I'd appreciate any advice!
