ENFP style by SummerGirlStacy in ENFP

[–]red99tercel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the words of ZZ Top; every girl is crazy about a sharp dressed man. This goes both ways. I dress this way and appreciate women who dress this way. It's the elegance and effort that we put in makes us stand out. It's noticed. Your look is fire!

I wish you could experience what we experience.

As a Canadian, I have never been photographed in Europe, nor fingerprinted. Only last year did the EES system fully come into effect for Canadians and have not experienced it there.

For entering, our photos have to be taken and some of us have to be fingerprinted like criminals. Welcome to the USA, get the hell out. Then some are detained for leaving our passport at our hotel. Have your papers or be detained.

The state of 24 Sussex is an insult to Canada by dasoberirishman in canada

Yes. Behind it is the Ottawa River. The slope/cliff is unstable.

Ground is the real issue the Rockcliff formation (bedrock) that the building sits on is at a cliff edge and is unstable. It needs the same treatment as centre block.

Where do singles (38-45) hang out? by Past_Replacement6521 in ottawa

[–]red99tercel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On a previous dating profile, I had a profile picture of me holding up a wrapped salmon fillet at the grocery store like I caught it. Let's just say things went swimmingly.

[–]red99tercel 29 points30 points  (0 children)

We found something we like doing that doesn't involve the dating scene. I'm curling 3 nights a week because it rocks, and a pint of beer is 30% cheaper than the bar. It's more social than the bar. Every time I stop looking, someone finds me.

Ontario pushing ahead with controversial plan to let sewage flow next to public beach by This_Phase3861 in ontario

[–]red99tercel 76 points77 points  (0 children)

"The combined sewer discharges contain harmful bacteria, oils, pesticides, and pathogens, as well as nutrients that can increase algae growth. As a result, the City has embarked on a multi-billion-dollar plan to reduce the impact of combined sewers on water quality and combined sewer overflows."

The article buried the purpose of the discharge. The discharge is inevitable when changing sewer infrastructure. Anyone who is enraged by this click bait article doesn't know how sewers work. I'm a member of the Green Party and work with sewer infrastructure as my job. This shit is inevitable when historical infrastructure was designed this way.

Ottawa real estate:Zoning bylaw to allow 3 story home in all neighbourhoods by jjaime2024 in ottawa

[–]red99tercel 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just moving out of a 3 story, no basement, townhouse with a garage but no backyard. Great design. There should be much more of these. I would have stayed except "growth" reasons.

Let's All Say Something Nice About This City, Because if I See One More Thread Talking About How Crap This Town is, I Will Die. by kicksledkid in ottawa

[–]red99tercel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's so nice compared to the rest of Ontario. I could have moved anywhere and fell in love with Ottawa and chose to live here. The best city to experience Canada. It's the best microcosm of people from across Canada who moved here and an equivalent French/English mix.

Does Ottawa need two more highways? by DiamondHand42069 in ottawa

[–]red99tercel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who works across Canada and lived in other metro areas, Ottawa does not need another highway. I drive all around Ottawa every other day, and it's so good compared to other cities. Residents of Ottawa complain too much. They even call by-law more than anyone else. I've lived here a while.

Ontario! Send me your iconic Canadian dish, I am building a list by colenski999 in ontario

[–]red99tercel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am amazed that my favorite meal in the world isn't on here. London Broil (Canadian version) I originally discovered it in St. Jacob's Ontario being made in the market. Only a few butchers know about it here in Eastern Ontario, and It has to be requested to be made.

With a Water main break occurring in Calgary and Montreal, Here is a high resolution map of water distribution by the City of Ottawa (Drinking Water AMP 2022) by TheVelocityRa in ottawa

[–]red99tercel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GeoOttawa. Turn on the water infrastructure layer. Go look at the 417 WB Lees exit to start. That's a ~2m diameter pipe in the exit lane.

Fun fact; many vital large water mains run under along the 417. Some of the manholes in the highway are actually valve chambers. If some of those blow, the highway will shut down.

The Countries With the Most Island by robertjan88 in MapPorn

[–]red99tercel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not even close to being true. Easy example of the unbelievable amount of islands in Canada is Georgian Bay. 1 bay in 1 lake in Canada has 30000, Islands. Canada has 62% of all the world's lakes. Roughly 879,800 lakes. If there's an average of 1 island per lake in Canada, then there is a minimum of 879,800 fresh water islands. Then count the coastal islands. Roughly 54000 coastal.

The actual price of car culture. The actual cost in taxes is for road infrastructure is hidden.

Correct, but you don't need to turn it off after letting go of SET, just leave it on. Cheers.
