I had given up on pleading for more alt-text but I'll try again!
Please add alt-text to your photos/pictures it only takes a minute and does not have to be fancy. My policy is not to boost images without alt-text and I am not the only one.
This is one of the cultural things I like about Mastodon, the inclusiveness. Please don't ruin it.
I do not love that a lot of the same driving mentality permeates how people move around on crowded MUPs in #ottawa If you were in the group of bros loudly ringing your bells in unison to get people walking to move right off the path so you all could blast through the middle so fast I could almost feel you on my left shoulder, well I’ll tell you to fuck off in person when you’re stopped next time too. Slow the hell down and wait a singular minute once in a while #ottbike#biketooter
It’s fairly intuitive that when you’re approaching people walking from behind, and people are also walking towards you on the other side, you can adjust your speed before hand, gauge when people walk past each other, let people know in some fashion, but I guess intuitive is very fucking subjective. I get it, shits very crowded even on week days. But you’re not special. If you have an emergency than call a fucking ambulance, otherwise I’m gunna yell at you #ottawa#ottbike#biketooter
#Sutcliffe on #CBC#Ottawa taking the position that return to office is none of his business, it's between the fed government and the civil service unions.
Curious how it's none of his business now, when the government is increasing days in office. When we were all working remote he sure thought it was his business to lobby to get us back downtown.
Train 641 will depart Ottawa from Mondays to Thursdays at 4:19AM, and arrive in Toronto 8:48AM, with express service stops in Brockville, Kingston, Belleville, Cobourg, and Port Hope. Perfect for business commuters that need to make a 9AM meeting in The Big Smoke and a great alternative to the short-haul flight.
Also, Train 644 TRTO -> OTTW will run daily! See full release here:
I just listened to an #instagram video about the stress of booking a flight from Barcelona to Paris… the Ryanair airport is very far from Barcelona and absolutely not worth the price of tickets BUT… you can take a direct train from Barcelona to Paris that takes 6 wonderful hours for $126 fucking Canadian dollars 😭😭😭😭 my god I miss living over there sometimes. The overnight from Barcelona to Milan was a fav train I took a few times #travel#publictransit#ottawa
Was 1/2 way across Richmond Rd when the 57 bus comes eastbound. Nooooo. I waved at the bus and dude stopped and blocked a bunch of traffic to let me jump on 😂 Good #publictransit drivers out there in the wild #ottawa
#RemoteWork enables people across Canada to have good government jobs and helps ensure that public policy isn’t made by people living in an Ottawa bubble.
So we have via rail tickets booked for August and naturally I loaded the tickets in Apple Wallet… then a few days later I got an email saying the schedule was going to change and now I’ve gotten 2 new sets of tickets and I’m sick of adding and deleting tickets 🥸 I should be able to just use the same set of tickets regardless of what schedule changes but I’m annoyed at this process. If the time changes by 5 minutes and I need a whole new set of tickets? Gesus… #ottawa#viarail
Gunna give myself some props here. I attempted focaccia today, well yesterday then it was in the fridge till today. Learned a few things and will make more but it’s pretty tasty if I say so myself. First time in my life I’ve ever made bread… gunna just keep trying new things #ottawa
We’ve put roughly 4,800 kms on two e-bikes in just over a year. ~2,800 on the Yuba (no riding Dec-March) since end of April last year and 2,000 kms on our Load4 75 Reise & Muller since the end of August, 2023. We’ve had lots of bus trips and I’m averaging only 9 kms of walking a day. Living without a car can be very fucking frustrating and limiting in a city like #ottawa but I wouldn’t trade it for anything #cargobike#biketooter
I don't post a lot of #Ottawa photos because usually, when I'm out, I'm on a cardio walk and don't want to stop. But here's the Rideau Canal from the Corktown Footbridge.
Pretty high CAPE for #Ottawa this afternoon. Models don't seem to develop it into thunderstorms, they prefer the western portion that will pass in the late evening.
EC forecasting possibility of storms all day, which seems prudent.
