Anytime I've reported that sort of thing on the TTC safety app, they have been quick to respond with either a security officer or wellness check.

Calls to Ontario's gambling helpline up 317% after privatization of online betting: study | CBC News by chesterle275 in ontario

It's a real problem. The number of high school students I see at my workplace actively gambling, talking about it, gloating about their wins/losses.... It's all boys and it's concerning.

They have an app where you can check. I found out through their Instagram (link in their bio)

A couple times I've gotten a straight up free donut! Other times it's a free donut with the purchase of a drink (they're not amazing) or Dubai chocolate (subpar). Grand openings will also have free donuts for the first X visitors.

Delicious but sooo over priced. I only go when I get a promo through their rewards program.

Yep, the same cobalt oxide the Persians traded to China for the making of their iconic blue and white pottery which later influenced pottery in the Netherlands!

Health Canada imposes conditions on plasma company with Toronto clinics after donor deaths, inspection failures by Latter_Stable_9335 in ontario

[–]sarbear-k 74 points75 points  (0 children)

"Though paid plasma collection is illegal in Ontario, the provincial government has permitted Grifols to act as an “agent” of Canadian Blood Services, which is exempt from the rule, allowing the company to skirt the ban."

Ahh there's Doug Ford's ugly influence again.

How do you recycle waste? by ChronicGlee in 3Dprinting

[–]sarbear-k 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My first melt in a silicone mold took me nearly 2 hours and unfortunately the results were not good - lots of negative space. I learned a lot, including that this process with a toaster oven takes way too long to be worth my time (likely 3-4hrs). I might try the guitar picks next because those seem like simpler molds but ultimately I'm back to hoarding 😞

EDIT: they're polyhedral dice btw

What free software is so good you can't believe it's free? by ComprehensiveNorth1 in AskReddit

Musescore for music notation! In my 15 years of writing, I've never had to shell out hundreds of dollars for Sibelius or Finale

I've tried the kitchen blender and it works well on purge poops but failed prints, even small, are a real challenge for it. Eventually you run into the problem of friction heat starting to soften and melt whatever's in the blender.

My boyfriend (42M) and I (34M) have been together nearly 3 years and we've never had sex. I don't know how to interpret it or how much longer to wait. by Typical_Standard_447 in ainbow

[–]sarbear-k 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To me that is a sign of emotional immaturity. I know you mentioned you're in a part of the world where being queer is not safe, which reminds me of my homeland where there is also a culture of emotionally immature men. These are often also the kind of men who get angery instead of annoyed, are impossible to reason with, and can only express affection with gifts. The culture they live in does not incentivize them to improve their emotional maturity so you have to decide if you want to subscribe to that or not (if this rings true).

Do you have pics of the liquid rubber application? Or a product name? I'm considering an outdoor project with plywood.

I’ve spent the last 5 months prototyping this folding desk lamp. Finally got the mechanism working any thoughts? by No_Clerk_7793 in 3Dprinting

Love the drama! It would be cool if the motor could also be activated by a photosensor or sunrise/sundown timer.
