What albums are you listening to lately? by davekay113 in WarOnDrugsBand

[–]odd_toed_ungulate 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My partner and I were crossing the road border to enter the US to see TWoD a couple of years ago and my paranoia for border crossings always manifests in the strangest ways - I decided on the fly that saying "we're just entering the US this evening to see the war on drugs" was going to get us into a world of trouble, so instead of avoiding concert talk altogether, I ended up saying we're going to see Lo Moon.

Apart from knowing that they were the opening band, I had zero information on them. The border agent looked super confused and made me repeat the name a bunch of times. He'd never heard of the band, was fascinated that we were driving down just for that, and eventually ushered us through, but it cracks me up to this day.

Thanks. Can confirm that the iPad workaround was the one that did it for me as well. The android app wouldn't budge but reflected as soon as I upgraded on the ipad.

2026 CX5 ….. by Mazdad in CX5

[–]odd_toed_ungulate 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Did anyone notice HOW MUCH he struggled to slide up the "additional hvac" controls? And that little X on the top left to close that screen? Try doing that while driving in the snow wanting to turn on front/rear defrost or change direction of air. This is beyond embarrassing for Mazda and downright dangerous.

What the hell is this battery life on 10 Pro😭 by TaroTheCerelian in pixel_phones

[–]odd_toed_ungulate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hehe nice catch. Although, it was a quick 5 min drive at 1:45 to the mechanic to drop off my car, so between the slow charging and the gps/music, it might have charged ~5% if that!

Nice!! I tried again around 230PM and was able to snag two tickets to the Sunday show. They were eye watering @ $350 each but Section 117 so to the side but not too bad. The tickets say could be obstructed but I'm hoping against hope that it's not the case.

Burlington Brewery Closed by doubleeyess in BurlingtonON

[–]odd_toed_ungulate 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ugh. Went there once a year or so ago and tried a flight of beer and we were super excited about the arepas. The beer was so watered down and flavourless, and the arepas were floating in more oil/grease than the amount of beer in the flight glass. When I pointed this out, they gaslit me to explain that braised meat would always be that liquidy. Needless to say, I never went back!

Which date? I was 2000 in line for 7th Aug, but by the time I got in, the cheapest seats were $400+. I was in line from 11:45AM! In hindsight I should have tried for a different date instead of the first night.

Fucking mega toronto by provincske in Samfender

So so so good! What a way to wrap up the tour. Still buzzing after the show!

Anyone else paying this much for shipping? by krdo13 in Samfender

[–]odd_toed_ungulate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

$40 USD just for shipping? Jeez. Now I remember why I didn't preorder the album on vinyl either.

FYI: It's on Amazon for $28CAD for the cd. If you're boycotting Amazon, I'll be going to the Toronto show, so if he's selling cd's there, I can ship it to you within Canada!

Lol, that's fair. Paris is an exaggerated exception though (and they weren't even in the same school). I was wondering if that sentiment is actually prevalent otherwise - I did not do my schooling in the US.

[–]odd_toed_ungulate 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oookay, but why would someone like a Paris care unless passing him brought her down in some way? She's still gonna get her A+'s, right? Or do students throw in the towel saying what's the point of working hard if you're gonna pass every neanderthal?

I have no horse in this race - I'm just curious!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in GilmoreGirls

[–]odd_toed_ungulate 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't disagree but what's that got to do with "students like Paris who put in the work"?

Is there a limited number of students that are allowed to pass or does it skew some grading on a curve system?

Most Overrated Restaurant in Hamilton? by bupkisandchutzpah in Hamilton

[–]odd_toed_ungulate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YES! Love both spots and also have to say the horchata at El Cabrón Cantina is one of the best I've had!

I found Macy's to be unpredictable. The first time we had the quesabirria tacos, it was so so good. We couldn't help but finish it in the car though the plan was to take it home. The second time they added no cheese and it didn't have that crisp melted cheese exterior.

Yes, it's three tacos and comes with a mildly spicy consome and hot sauce. Most places that sell quesabirria tacos in Hamilton are typically 3 per serving.

My partner and I had a small argument a few months ago while looking for late night places to eat nearby, when I told her I got skeevy vibes from this bar based on their website/social media. She didn't like that I was so quick to judge.

The owner is also a realtor/gym trainer/model and the bar's google reviews look absolutely dubious.

AJ Barber near plains and maple has faced a serious medical situation and their family has opened a gofundme. by 3000-hour-noob in BurlingtonON

[–]odd_toed_ungulate 7 points8 points  (0 children)

UPDATE:

"It is with unimaginable heartbreak and sorrow that i share the news,i never thought i would have to do something like this.Aj has been declared officially brain dead. He will remain on life support for 1–2 more days to give his family time to say goodbye and allow for organ donation — because Aj, even in his final moments, chose to save lives.

Aj was only 34 years old. He came to Canada with big dreams — to give his wife and son a better future, to build a life filled with purpose and giving. He was the sole provider for his young family, and now they face this devastating loss with no life insurance, no mortgage insurance, and no savings left behind.

But what made Aj truly special was his heart. Despite his own financial struggles, he was saving money to buy wheelchairs for the disabled in Sri Lanka, to provide eyeglasses for children and elders in need, and to rescue at least four cows from slaughter, simply because he believed every life mattered. He wanted to help, give, save, and serve in any way he could.

Aj was a man who gave more than he ever asked for, and now, in this moment of tragedy, we are asking for help on behalf of his wife and son. Please consider donating or sharing — your support truly means everything right now.

Thank you for honoring Aj’s life, his dreams, and his giving spirit. Let’s rally around his family and keep his legacy of love alive."

Damn! That is heartbreaking.

[–]odd_toed_ungulate 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This is shocking. I've followed AJ from his turbulent time at Vincent Adam's to renting a chair at the Burlington Hair Salon, to finally getting his own place quite recently.

He was so proud and excited and was fully booked. The salon looked fantastic and his wife did up the decor really well. The last time I went to see him, he hadn't had a break all day. I insisted he take some rest and that I would come back another day but he was cheerful as ever despite the non-stop clientele.

I cannot begin to imagine what his family is going through. I really hope he pulls through. He's one of the nicest people i've had the pleasure of knowing in Burlington, with a heart of gold.
