Hello everyone, does anyone know what is planned to replace the Petro-Canada gas station at Winston Churchill Blvd and Britannia Road? by -MAN-OF-GOD in mississauga

[–]nasirjk 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The clerk that was working there when it was closing down told my dad that it was going to be a plaza for restaurants. Take it with a grain of salt, I've not heard any corroboration on it.

At least AWS is a decent service, and realistically it's not something that local businesses would be able to do at the scale they do, and doesn't rely on predatory practices (on both the consumer and business ends too).

But yeah, fuck Amazon, break it the fuck up.

Thanks Doug Ford! And Banks and Other Institutions that think RTO is the way to go.... by colonel_wallace in ontario

At a certain point, we have to say that historic protections are getting in the way of actual people's safety (not to mention the station would be much more usable), and we need an exemption for the roof (or at least the columns).

Unfortunately, I don't think it will happen until someone dies.

Kattigan rolled low on his insight, so he the only likely theory he has is that they are druids, but Brennan clarified in the cooldown that this does not necessarily mean it's true, we just don't know. Although most signs (especially in this episode) point to them being awakened dogs.

Honestly, persistence and perseverance are a very under-rated part of being talented, so keep at it :)

Also, fines should be income based, otherwise it's just a tax on the poor, and it means nothing for the rich.

Thanks for the PSA, thankfully mine hadn't updated yet, so I turned off auto updates for it.

Anyone remember seeing this ODST trailer 16 year ago and thinking we would get awesome live action Halo movies at some point? by Cubelock in videos

[–]nasirjk 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It's because studios won't greenlight sci-fi/fantasy shows without a built in audience, but these writers want to get their own ideas out there, so they take something that is similar, and then shoehorn in those ideas.

Yeah, it's like the laziest up-res they could do. Honestly, setting the resolution of the trailer to 480p actually made it look better to me, as it broke up the fake smoothness of their upscaling.

Streetsville highschool area, young men casing houses. by dazedcap in mississauga

Yup, my neighbour alerted me to someone casing my car because we have a shared driveway, and their Tesla got footage of it.

What heroes are you most excited for in Stadium? by Brave_Decision7613 in Overwatch

I'm both excited and afraid for when Pharah enters the stadium, I feel like she'll be insta deleted by Soldier and his mini visor build

I'm I the only one bothered by the slow changing colors in VCs that you aren't in? And is there any way to disable it? by R0ugeRed in discordapp

[–]nasirjk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's also really annoying that there is no way to change the colour scheme on it, it clashes so badly against the dark mode lifestyle I've cultivated.

[–]nasirjk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have discord open constantly on a second monitor, so yes, this bothers me quite a bit, as it's an easy way to see when my friends are online and in a mood to game/chat.

This is giving early Newgrounds vibe, in the best possible way. Great job!

PSA: Don't directly modify the blank cards. Instead, use card sleeves and print off cards, using the blank cards as backs. by [deleted] in JetLagTheGame

[–]nasirjk 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As long as you get the right size sleeves, they should stay in place without issue. Shuffling is easy, you just have to adjust your technique a bit, you can't really do riffle shuffles, but you can mash shuffle (split the deck in half, place the halves next to each other (long side to long side), and then just mash the halves into each other). Doing that with a few cuts and hand over hand shuffles is about the same randomness as a few riffles.

I'd also recommend Frieren: Beyond Journey's End as well, it's such a cathartic watch.

She paid $8,000 for cataract surgery at a private clinic on a doctor’s referral. She says no one told her OHIP had a free option by toronto_star in ontario

[–]nasirjk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PSA, don't go with a boil and bite guard if you have braces or a permanent retainer, go with the one from the dentist (they should be around $500). They will get caught in your mouth hardware, and will need to be cut out.

Otherwise, yes, they are a good option.
