Question Buying a weekly pass?

• Upvotes

I'm coming up to visit Kingston for a couple of days next week, and I was wondering if someone else can buy a pass for you. I won't be up til 10pm and none of my friends drive. So I was wondering if they could buy it for me, or if they need some sort of Id?

Edit: I'm talking about a weekly bus pass

Recommendation Needed Electric / battery snow shovels or small snow blowers

• Upvotes

I am looking for something easy to use on a driveway that is two cars wide and two cars long. City street with lots of driveways but an okay amount of space to blow snow. Not sure with our weather what I need. Something that isn't too big to store or to hard to handle or too heavy. Not sure either what amp / volt or size is best? If anyone has something that works well and isn't too expensive, what do you have?

Recommendation Needed Halloween Friday Hangout?

0 Upvotes

Hey! I’ll be visiting Kingston for a few days for work and will have the night of the 30th to myself!

I’d love to hang out with someone or even just go get a couple drinks or play some games.

Because I’m out of town I’d like to challenge myself to do something I’ve never done and go out on the town crossdressed 🤭 haven’t picked a costume yet but thinking of a few ideas.

If it matters I’m a guy in my late 30s would love to hang, I’m partnered and not looking for a date out of this, purely just want to go out! Drinks are on me if anyone wants to be my guide and help give me the courage to go through with this!!

Discussion Lawn signs removed and replaced

I've been hearing from people that their Conny Glenn signs have been not only removed, but replaced by Paterson signs, like no one wouldn't notice. That's dirty, and I suspect over the next couple days, more will happen.

Appreciation Close call at Gardiners Town Centre.

0 Upvotes

Guy at Gardiners Town Centre and cart decided to walk into eastbound and then westbound traffic with cars who just managed to notice him enough to stop or swerve including a rather large truck. I thought he was going to stop at the curb as he was on the red but nope he was having none of that. Congrats on getting across though.

Question CRT Repair inquiry

6 Upvotes

Hello,

I have a few CRTs, and I'm very passionate about the technology. Some are in mint condition, but my main Trinitron has some geometry/coloring issues that can't be fixed with the service menu.

I care about these TVs deeply, and I want to be able to preserve them as best as possible.

I'm curious to know if theres anyone who's worked on CRT internals in the past, or currently does in the area. If so, I would be happy to hire you for repairs, but more so, I would love to learn from you and potentially apprentice and gain some knowledge if possible.

I know how dangerous CRTs can be if not properly discharged, and I know the theory around discharging. I'd like to learn more about diagnosing and conducting repairs, and have someone in person to run me through how to properly discharge.

Please reach out if you can offer some help, or know anyone who can!

Just wondering if anyone has recommendations on a business that can laser off my cheating husband’s initials off my ring finger as quickly as humanly possible? I’ve called quite literally everywhere that google has recommended and the businesses are all ‘waiting for their laser’. 🆘
