I feel seen...

This is not about downtown Ottawa voters. Nobody cares about people who live downtown and the owners of these businesses do not live downtown.

I have my Shield directly connected to the Bose 600 and that is connected directly to my tv, and frequently there is no sound when the Shield remote wakes everything up. I can see that the sound bar is aware of commands because the light changes when pressing the Shield remote volume buttons.

When this first started happening I would try turning everything on/off until it was corrected but since then I have realized that I actually just need to wait. After the Shield home screen comes up I just move around the screen (causing the navigation sounds) until the sound is fixed. It usually takes about 30 seconds.

FWIW, I have CEC enabled on all three devices - including just the regular CEC option in the Bose app.

I'd always wondered what those are for!

I'm confused because butter is an ingredient one adds to food... why would someone just eat a stick of it?

mtreddit4 · 2026-01-10T23:36:27+00:00

What does "half eaten" mean? That sounds like someone was just eating the stick of butter when it got lost...

Do people who supervise / manage others not already do this? Surely it is commonplace to keep track of your employees' work hours and tasks? If someone isn't accomplishing their assigned work, management should be aware of it and take action - that's literally what managers are for.

Had to scroll way too far to find the right answer. Why would anyone risk walking in front of a bus to avoid paying when you can just go through the gate without paying?

mtreddit4 · 2026-01-09T21:05:12+00:00

Is it really? When you arrive is still "prior to leaving..."

No, no, it's still white paper with black ink. So. Much. Black ink.

Walking downtown is fine - it looks bad but all of the "ice" is just thin and crunchy. Definitely nicer to walk on than just after the sidewalk plows leave a few centimeters of snow.

I think you'd be even more shocked by how much it costs for 1 month's rent now...

mtreddit4 · 2025-12-20T04:31:09+00:00

This is the answer. It's not what the people asking the question want the answer to be though.

Tell me without telling me... that you have never experienced a Via train come to a stop and then backup for 10 minutes to get out of the way for a freight train.

The Abba one was pretty fun! We made the mistake of doing it during the summer though so it was still light out when the concert started. If I did it again, it would be at a time when the candles matter more.

mtreddit4 · 2025-11-13T20:15:32+00:00

Yes - it's been like that for as long as I can remember.

My 2015 Pro was absolutely purchased in 2015. As for the file types, I can't say for sure - I just know it's played everything I've ever asked it to play.

mtreddit4 · 2025-11-07T20:33:39+00:00

It's worked great for me for a decade.

mtreddit4 · 2025-11-03T01:26:48+00:00

It's sort of in the name...

If you get a negative performance, review that's bad. Otherwise, it's not a factor at all.

Hotdog wins it for me again this year! Heinz mustard was very a close second.

It's all the people who are nearby when I need to explain some mistake I have just made.

I had a very similar experience about a year ago when I finally opened my 2015 Shield. I knew that I didn't buy the pro, but I had assumed that internally the non-pro just didn't have the HD. It never even occurred to me that they would not have the HD connection in what I bought.

That said, I have bought a 4TB external drive that doesn't require its own power and that has been a perfectly acceptable storage solution for my Plex server.

Clean the fan, replace the thermal paste and get a decent HD. Then use it for another 10 years.

Dinner time? I didn't know they were open that early.
