I’m not certain these are the same type of ads you’re talking about, but I want to chime in on the too many #$@%ing ads topic. My hockey watching is pretty much limited to Leafs playoff games, although I watch a lot of NBA, MLB, and CFL games - so I know sports broadcasts. Anyway, the ads along the sideboards that ‘fly in’ on NHL TV broadcasts are ridiculous, imo, in how much of a ‘suppression of visual distraction’ (mental effort) it takes to follow the puck and game as a viewer

All starters but RJ came out of the game with 7 or 8 minutes left. The FO tried to lose. But the Raptors bench / 3rd stringers won their minutes. The FO might need to go harder at this

Mmmmm, plant-based cake collection

Good to have basketball back!

I’m rusty but I believe the reason for the eviction dictates how soon it can legally happen. Eviction without just cause (e.g., renoviction, landlord’s family moving in) is two months, starting the next 1st of the month (or week - whatever amount of time a rent installment covers). Tenant destroying the apartment is two weeks or less.

It sounds like your landlord is pulling some BS, and wouldn’t have a much of a legal leg to stand on. But it also sounds like this place makes sense for you right now and you want to make it work.

My advice would be to try to come off as sympathetic, and a good tenant, and casually ask if you can defer payment:
Hi x, I’m enjoying this place, thank you so much.
May I get the $50 for y to you on [date]?
If necessary: I understand, but I’m stretched a little thin after first and last but can easily get it to you on [date].
If necessary: offer interest for deferred payment

I hope you can setup a good recovery environment and heal well after your surgery.

Good luck, friend!

Very cool, thanks for sharing and thoroughly explaining the exciting news! I hope to hear more about how it goes trying to grow it on your balcony!

Looks like an album cover 😎

Good to know, ty!

By Andrew Coyne, published in The Globe and Mail December 14, 2024.

It was a good primer on this topic. I think the point that the LPC vacancy in these turbulent times - Dump as POTUS - reveals weaknesses in our political system with respect the PM’s power, and should perhaps be cause for reflection, is a valid one.

Less interestingly, it’s been ages since I read an article in The Globe and Mail. I basically had to hold my nose through the paragraphs about Trudeau - 2 to start - that were obnoxiously uncivil. Mr. Coyne wasn’t that complimentary of the CPC, but he certainly wasn’t as vitriolic. It was so icky to read in parts, which perplexes me

Does it also come in Clark-Kimberly versions? :P

Wow great read

I think we also need more strategies to keep the trains moving, especially during rush hours. I think the most common reason I hear for unplanned subway downtime is “security incident” and “medical incident”. I think the (increasing number it seems of) fare enforcement officers is bad spending. As a TTC user they’re of no benefit to me, and I don’t think they effectively reduce fare evasion either - I think the value is crap. I’d rather see security and medical/nursing personnel on trains or at stations to intervene sooner (security and medical incidents, respectively) and keep the trains running.

The crowding at St. George station is getting nuts

Yup they’re all pre-rolled joint tubes from a gov-regulated weed store in Ontario

I bet he gets traded on his expiring but there’ll be 4 or more teams on that trade. Salaries like Butler’s don’t typically move at the TDL and it’s even harder to move them now with the new cap environment (1st and 2nd apron)

Battle of two tanks who’ve recently found winning ways. If Zion’s in and Poeltl and Olynyk are out, I think the Pels win. I’m looking forward to watching Zion (from the comfort of my couch - glad I’m not trying to stop him getting to the rim!)

Conservatives are fiscally responsible /s

Wow that’s so cool. We need more co-ops. I hate paying an inflated price where most of the money goes to some grifter at the top who had startup capital, as opposed to the usually lovely person performing a quality service I appreciate and whom I interact with. Like in the article they say they paid $140 for cleaning and $30 goes to the cleaner. Next time I need a service, I’m going to look up co-ops

Raptors hold NBA assist leader Trae Young (~11.4 assists/game) to 4 assists on 11 turnovers 😳. Davion “off-night” Mitchell was living up to his name

I love your style and posts on here! Keep doing you!
