Little Story Time

• Upvotes

On my morning drive, someone blasted by me in the school zone of Westgate. Totally normal occurrence, cops don’t go over there and pull over anyone, so everyone goes 60 through the whole zone. This particular specimen was definitely faster than that, weaving between lanes and cars.

Well, they get stopped by the red light and I manage to be in the lane next to them. As the light turns green, I pull a little goblin move and pull in front of them and continue driving 60 through the normal zone.

Oh they got mad at that. Tried to switch lanes fast but couldn’t due to cars in the other lanes. They stayed pissed and tailgated me all the way to the next lights, before suddenly deciding they needed to be in the left turn lane next to me. They yelled some bullshit and threw a cup of water at me. I laughed at them.

I know it’s not my place to police roads, I never do, but these garbage people deserved it. Not my typical reaction, but they were ridiculous.

If the people who did this this morning are reading this, seriously, do better. What the fuck is wrong with you?

AI restaurants

Is there a tally of restaurants that use AI? I’m debating on starting a list. I know for startups it may be hard to get your own work done but like… being so lazy as to not photograph your own food to put on skip or uber is crazy.

scene RIP RJ Mitte (1992–2026), who gave Thunder Bay a shoutout in Breaking Bad

This clip has been shared here before, but with the sad news of RJ Mitte's passing, I thought it was worth sharing again.

Back in 2009, during the Season 2 finale of Breaking Bad, his character Walter Jr. mentions a $20 donation from Thunder Bay, Ontario, to his father's fundraising website.

Just a small moment, but it's always neat hearing Thunder Bay mentioned in such an iconic television series.

Rest in peace, RJ.

local Thank You To The Person Who Stole My Wallet at InterCity And Spent $96 at the Dollarstore

38 Upvotes

Newly acquired drivers license, two cards on a broke college student budget. All sacred items in my wallet are in the hands of someone who decided my money was best spent on god knows what from where.

I know I’m dumb, and it had to happen on the one day I decide to wear a hoodie that doesn’t like holding things.

I don’t even know why I’m posting this. The person who stole it probably doesn’t even have the means to use Reddit so I guess this is just going out into empty space.

Feel free to leave your own TBay robbery experiences! It’d be nice to know I’m not alone…

Revving engine

To the Mr. Man Bignutz that decided to rev his annoying loud engine on May St a couple minutes ago and wake everyone up:

I'm sure they have specialists that can help you with that pico-appendage of yours. Micro is too generous.

Also, I hope your vehicle stalls far from home when you have uncontrollable diarrhea and no one will let you use their toilets.

Jerk.

Edit: He's back again speeding passed The Alley. Someone threw a bike on the road and he just ran over it.

White lifted Dodge (I think), 4-door with extended mirrors.

Jimmy Johns pricey

14 Upvotes

Heard my American buddies I play games with online talking about this place, I’m not much of a sub fan but my dad is, he goes there, orders the Italian club I think it was. Mind you it’s our fault for not asking the price but no prices were listed, kinda just figured it was gonna be reasonable. He ends up paying 25$ for their Italian club, just food for thought, it’s a bit pricey there

Does anyone know anything about the land surveys being conducted around the LPH grounds? Is something moving forward with the property? For close to the last week there's been someone onsite working and they've mowed several sections of the field and former garden.

I've lived in Ottawa for 3 decades and I'm ready for a new location. Tell me if I should put TB in my top three list or not.

Edit: more than 1K views but no up votes and one down vote to make it a 0 post. More replies about "search previous posts" and "have you looked at a map" than any actual engagement. Interestingly, if you ask people from Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal and many many other places - they'll tell you about the charm of their town, about lovely parks, attractions, horrible traffic, how students are loud in x area, that there are drug problems, or the city council is stupid. You guys are mad that someone was interested enough to ask people about their city. Very interesting.

Bridge washing; is it necessary?

0 Upvotes

This evening I saw the city of Thunder Bay performing Bridge Washing at the Arundel street bridge near Lyon Blvd.

Can somebody explain the purpose of why this is a necessary task. And how often is this performed?

I chuckle to myself constantly when I see city of Thunder Bay performing the most irrelevant, seemingly unnecessary jobs. Because when Arthur st looks like somebody’s uncle used a hand shovel to fill pot holes.

Realistically in this crooked city, somebody’s uncle was probably contracted to fill potholes on some roads and that’s why it’s always a half ass job.
