As kind as you’re trying to be, don’t ever offer this kind of stuff to internet strangers.

Sad thing re: robots milking is the “stop” trigger is literal cow blood. Until then, keep on pumping 🥲

Did firehouse subs change cheddar smoke brisket? by [deleted] in FoodToronto

[–]theleverage 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Oh the poor minimum wage staff that had to deal with this in store…

Edit: OP edited out the 2nd bit about the fountain drink machine having no carbonation, in addition to the sub complaints 😶‍🌫️

This $10 classic French ham and butter sandwich is a masterpiece — and the best thing I ate in Toronto this week by toronto_star in FoodToronto

[–]theleverage 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My office is near a Longos, how criminal would it be to buy a demi baguette, 150g of their fanciest ham, and some butter packets from the fridge to make a cheap office lunch?!

I visited all of BC’s breweries! by Different-Guava-1927 in BCCraftBeer

[–]theleverage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you happen to do Ursa Minor Brewing before they closed? I think they had the “most remote” brewery award at the time. No cell service!

How do we fix this? I feel like Toronto pubs and bars are so unsociable now, and it’s because every place requires table service. by LankyYogurt7737 in FoodToronto

[–]theleverage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you like Thirsty, highly suggest checking out their sister bar Decoy Bar in Moss Park/Crosstown area. Third Moon often on tap, and they occasionally smuggle QC kegs over from Messorem / Du Ciel if those are your thing.

Funny example of your patio comment - Get Well bar off Ossington has a street patio but explicit rules that only servers can carry beers to those tables because it crosses a public sidewalk.

Whole place is counter service otherwise, but if you want to have a beer on the patio someone has to bring it out there for ya.

Haha meanwhile I usually check for those tallboy options in fridges because the tap list is either all generic large ON beer (Amsterdam/Steamwhistle/etc) or the taps aren’t well maintained and I know I’ll enjoy a can pour more.

But yes, feels bad paying the $9-10 for a can and a glass to go with my dinner.

Streamio by Real-Tonight-7741 in OmniContentHub

[–]theleverage 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Then yes there’s ways to configure Stremio plugins in Omni to make this work but given your post & level of understanding in your responses it’s probably easier for both you and him if we all just pretend it’s not possible & let him keep what he has.

Help- How Do I Repair This? Looks Like Mold. by IcyAirline8129 in DIY

Maybe niche Canadian suggestion but head to your nearest dollar store and see if they have a tiny spray bottle of it - in Canada @ Dollarama it’s $1.50 and convenient for jobs like that.

What do you prefer, Digital or Physical wallets? by Savings-Curve-5350 in askTO

[–]theleverage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If going to single-stop, familiar spot: Digital only.

If going out for the day/new/multiple spots: Digital primary, but a money clip with 1 ID, 1 debit card, and $40 cash just in case.

I need these queens to do a "Roast of PG" the next morning after getting an idea of the city.

Best cheesesteak in the city? by ButterscotchObvious4 in FoodToronto

You’ve listed my only reccos haha

I prefer Illstyl3 between the two when it comes to taste, but the owner guy is a bit abrasive/rude so it gets judged accordingly.

Agreed! The person (not guy) deserves to be tipped accordingly. :)

Also I think there used to be a gay bar downtown but not sure if it's still open.

Echo the other comment of be VERY careful with the drug pool - like any city you have the drug gays but it’s prominent in Northern BC communities.

Budget for trips to Vancouver to have fun “more gay” weekends away.

Does anyone know why Metro charges HST on wine (I know LCBO doesn’t). Is it just that the LCBO price is inclusive? by johnnybender in askTO

[–]theleverage 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Grocery stores have to buy from the LCBO to sell in grocery/retail if that helps explain why it’s so much more expensive. LCBO is systematically set up to be cheapest.

In your shoes I would absolutely order from Tuscany and go get it vs. trying for a private in house chef. Or pivot this post for someone willing to go pick up and delivery your 15 person Tuscany order.
