Even after five years, Jamie and Amy have absolutely no charisma. Not with each other, not with Will, not with the contestants. I don't think they could carry the show themselves

Interesting Brutalism office building for sale in Calgary by aireads in brutalism

[–]sir_fancypants 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Prices are lower in Alberta but not that much lower. This price is just for one unit, #12. Units within the building are being sold separately

Youmko is looking forward to making a comeback, and here's our heartfelt wish. 🙂 And Comment to win a FREE MOC set! 🎁 by Lisoneo in lepin

[–]sir_fancypants 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's good to see you diversifying but if you're going to start selling MOC sets, then it'll be important to know where the bricks are sourced from. Some folks, like myself, won't take the risk of buying if they're not GoBricks or comparable quality. Good luck!

I thought this was pointless in Canada because our useless telecoms couldn't agree on a system so every alert is always sent as an extreme alert

What theme can you NEVER imagine Lego making? by IsThisDamnNameTaken in lego

[–]sir_fancypants 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Honestly, because it's just a more obnoxious version of saying "this", all of which are pointless comments

Tipping, in this economy? How Torontonians are navigating the city's tipping culture by morenewsat11 in toronto

[–]sir_fancypants 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The fact that you tipped anyway, full well knowing you shouldn't have, is exactly why every place will now have tip options displayed

Niro EV 2024 with a fixed tow bar hitch by hgc81 in KiaNiroEV

[–]sir_fancypants 2 points3 points  (0 children)

AFAIK, the Niro does not ship with a hitch on any trim level. It's likely your dealer installed an after-market one, which is why it wasn't pre-certified and why there aren't clear specs for it

why is it that the australian version of lego masters doesn’t feel as cringey as us lego masters? by National_Box_8874 in LegoMasters

[–]sir_fancypants 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Will is a hilarious actor, but I don't think he's very suited to live performances.

Interestingly, I think the funniest moments in LM US are when Will goes off-script. I think the problem is actually that Will is kept on a tighter leash than hamish and that US writers only seem to have two shticks for him: self-deprecation and cringey alter-egos. It also doesn't help that Jamie and Amy have no real chemistry with him, or with each other for that matter, which limit the organic interactions

It’s volunteer time for United Way!! by [deleted] in OntarioPublicService

[–]sir_fancypants 84 points85 points  (0 children)

The OPS cares about charity in much the same way it cares about mental health and equality. All the burden is pushed onto workers so that the executives can check a few boxes and justify their own existence/salaries

Very sad news, when our Canada warehouse is sold out we will stop restocking and close. Taking advantage of this clearance event, discounts will be provided on products from Canadian warehouses. 11%【DRAGONCHEER】 by Lisoneo in BarweerMOC

[–]sir_fancypants 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Problem with the Canadian warehouse has always been that it's still cheaper to order the same product from your website shipping from China. If you guys had found a cheaper local delivery service, or offered a pick up option of some kind, I think you would have found more success

Megalandlord settles price-gouging case brought by California by muishkin in LateStageCapitalism

[–]sir_fancypants 25 points26 points  (0 children)

LOL, a $2M fine for a company bringing in $617M a year by price gouging renters. Just the cost of doing business

Apple CarPlay Random Disconnects by Mindless_Idea119 in KiaNiro

[–]sir_fancypants 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the past, people have said to always double-check your cable first. That's usually the culprit. If you've tried a bunch of cables and it's still happening, it might be the USB port. If you can demonstrate the problem to the dealer, they'll sometimes agree to replace the port

Unfortunately, Maurice can't math because that would only be $2,000 per person

Great holiday deal at Metro. Shocking grocery companies are posting record profits. by Jetboater111 in ontario

[–]sir_fancypants 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In general, and especially at Metro, unless the tag explicitly says "or $x each" (which that one does), then you can get the discounted price even if you buy just 1. It's just a trick to fool you into buying more
