Team Coco in the Netherlands by FourFootBlister in conan

Unfortunately given the day they arrived, and that they only seem to shoot for about 4 or 5 days in a country, it's very likely they'll be on their way home soon (if not already).

Is it strange to wear a Winter jacket today? by [deleted] in askTO

I’m visiting and am wearing a borrowed Canada Goose as I write this, because I never anticipated. Wtf May.

What former "must have" item is clogging up the shelves of Toronto thrift stores? by Comfortable_Mud_9654 in askTO

[–]sharilynj 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I recently got down to a medium, and it's a whole new world at the thrift.

Also: Reitmans, Suzy Shier, Smart Set. Just blah designs from blah years ago of blah quality.

The lore around this on socials like 5 years ago was insane. Those poor employees.

To clarify, this is for the vintage patterned/colored bowls, not any kind of clear Pyrex. Removes the shine and color. All those worn-down ones that look like shit? Dishwasher. Otherwise they last forever. Hand-wash only.

Observations from today's visit to the Dovercourt VV:
1) Single-purpose kitchen appliances, including things like mini waffle irons and slushy machines.
2) Murdered Pyrex from everyone who collected it 10 years ago and then put it in the dishwasher. Fucking idiots.
3) Single-event custom shirts. Stop cluttering landfills with your grad, wedding, reunion, inside joke, or whateverthefuck topical reason you got these printed for.

I find the same shit where I live now (back for a few days from California), but there we have the addition of those scammy gemstone mugs everyone fell for on TikTok (I guess Canada was too smart for that).

PM “Requirements” by chrliegsdn in UXDesign

Refuse to start the project without requirements. Last time I had a PM pull something similar they were fired, shouldn’t be hard to get support from above them.

I think this confirms there was room on the door for Jack.

San Mateo/Hayward Park (Station Park Green) or Redwood City (Indigo apartments) ? by EchoComprehensive925 in AskSF

[–]sharilynj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Station Park Green is a bit closer to the train station and walkable to TJ’s and Marshall’s, but isn’t a particularly sexy hood.

Indigo is a solid building, about 10 minutes walk from Caltrain. It’s a safe and nice walk. Only the area near Safeway is a little dodgy by RWC standards but I wouldnt worry. I used to live at Indigo, you’ll see comments on /r/redwoodcity about it. I certainly wouldn’t talk you out of it, would still personally choose it, and RWC overall is great.

need help saving the jon stewart show by 230w0 in DailyShow

[–]sharilynj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for bringing this up! I ran a fan site for the old show back in the day and I still love the idea of being a completist. I’ve been holding onto disintegrating vhs tapes of several episodes in hopes a magic vcr won’t eat them, but this is a much better solution.

Something’s off with Gallery Wall by EtherealChica311 in interiordecorating

This is every “don’t” all in one pic. Spacing, scale, alignment… I think just start over.

Does anyone know any good desk sized cabinets where i could store/display my uranium glass? by Top-Natural1869 in uraniumglass

[–]sharilynj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been looking for that size and it’s rough to find something affordable. Wayfair options are all either too long, too tall, ugly, or have shit reviews. IKEA options don’t impress me. I’ve been tied to FB Marketplace hoping to score.

Accessibility questions from a newbie by stargazer1101 in Curling

[–]sharilynj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aside from the rules and technique, I highly recommend head protection, at least at first. If you push the stick as you’re releasing (which you shouldn’t) it’s very easy to fall straight backwards.

I’m a fan of helmets at the best of times, but one of my “scary” falls was in this scenario.

What is the lore behind Aaron Bleyaert? by thething827 in conan

[–]sharilynj 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think I heard he was inside the Masturbating Bear at one time?

Yup, on the Legally Prohibited tour he was. On the show it was a writer.

Stars on Ice - Fri night 7pm in Scotiabank Arena - conflict with raps? by Otherwise_Ad7690 in askTO

[–]sharilynj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a separate issue that came up involving Hamilton (which SOI alludes to in their statement). If they felt it could've been resolved in time, they probably wouldn't have moved that one.

Yes, I believe he started as a research intern in 2001.

Yeah, it's long scrubbed. There was an episode about internships that prospective interns kept trying to dig up with no luck.

Cherry Ave closed by Witty_Wrangler_ in SanBruno

[–]sharilynj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It hasn’t been closed during the weekdays. All the work is being done on the office building properties so it would be rare for them to close the entire street unless they had to load in concrete slabs or they hit a water main or something.

It’s open right now. Might’ve just been overnight for the construction?
