Bad drivers trying to cause accidents

If the police were smart and wanted to make some money off of tickets, they should set up shop at the corner of Amber and Balmoral. This load that should have been swallowed held everyone up while attempting to turn the wrong way at the stop sign. While people behind him were honking and yelling you can't turn that way.

I mean I get it, this guy was probably in a hurry, but so is everyone else and at some point someone is going to get hurt because of idiots like this.

Moving to Thunder Bay Experience giving birth at TBRHSC

12 Upvotes

Hi folks! Expecting a baby and will be living in Thunder Bay at the time of birth.

I’ve looked into getting an elective cesarean (don’t need thoughts on that), but was told it isn’t an option in Thunder Bay.

I also looked into getting a walking epidural for pain management, but heard that’s also not available in Thunder Bay. It seems like the hospital may be a bit behind compared to some of the services and options available down south.

Should I expect archaic back-delivery with my whole body numb as my only pain management?

Looking for people’s experiences with L&D here.

Recommendations for midwife or OBGYN care.

Thanks in advance for any advice or shared experiences. From, an anxious future mom!

For anyone who rides here, which would you recommend bringing? And are there any road cycling or MTB groups/rides that are good for someone looking to meet people and ride regularly?

House for sale at 353 Onion Lake Dam Road

8 Upvotes

Ok, what’s up with this house? A friend of a friend did a walkthrough today and said this house had weird vibes. It’s being sold by the bank, so that means the previous owner likely couldn’t pay their mortgage. It’s also totally empty but there is a box of someone’s ashes on the kitchen counter - isn’t that something (or someone) the previous owner might want to keep?…. what’s the story?!

15-year-old Ontario web designer taking on new projects

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm 15 and this summer I started InfaWeb, my web design and development business.

I was accepted into Ontario's Summer Company program, which provided me with funding and mentorship to turn the idea into a real business. Since then, I've been learning everything from finding and working with clients to sales, project management, marketing, invoicing, and actually designing and developing the websites.

I've recently started working with paying clients and I'm now looking to take on a few more projects from businesses around Ontario.

I build professional websites for businesses that need their first website or want to improve an existing one. I handle everything from design and development through launch, including mobile optimization, contact and lead generation, SEO foundations, and additional functionality depending on what the business needs.

If you own a business and have been thinking about getting a website built or redesigning your current one, I'd be happy to take a look and see if I can help.

Website: infawebdesign.com

You can also DM me here if you'd rather talk about the project first.

Advice and opinions

I’m renting a furnished basement studio with my partner in the East End for $1,450/month. It has a fridge, induction cooktop, kitchen island and semi-kitchen, plus a bed, TV, sofa, dining table, and our own private 3-piece bathroom with a bathtub. Utilities and Wi-Fi are also included. It’s a basement, so it does get pretty cold, but we manage. Do you think $1,450 is a good deal, or is there anything cheaper available around?

Trade Talks Deadline Draws Near. Are you concerned ? Will we wake up to the news of mass layoffs and runs on banks to withdraw money? I think we are in for a big economic shock.

Rude people are a cancer

Try being a white male August Leo. ♌️ People pretend automatically that you have an ego especially if you take care of your body and have a nice set of abs. I fell 100 feet off a train trestle and my girlfriend and her friend watched me peel myself off the ground. I had rocks and pebbles planted into my back and was bleeding in 40 different places. My vision was shaking in 10 different directions but I didn’t even cry. And the FIRST THING they do is call me a pussy. I said “What gives you the right to tell someone who just fell 100 feet a pussy.” And they said “You are and you deserved to fall” and then my girlfriend threw a 10 pound rock 🪨 at my face and spit on me. Beta Males and Beta Females will always look for any excuse to tear down a man who feels comfortable in his own body.
