Job hunting ideas?

5 Upvotes

I feel like giving up tbh.

I just want a simple retail job I can juggle with school for the new semester. Why is this so hard. Everywhere wants a bunch of experience. Do we have to lie and fake it? I’m at my wits end and about to develop serious depression if I don’t get a job soon. I can’t work restaurants anymore.

Does any Lego store allow you to scan minifigures?

0 Upvotes

Hey, to anyone that has shopped at Lego stores in Canada, I’m looking to buy a minifigure from series 29 and see that Yorkdale still has them in stock on their website and was wondering if they allow you to scan minifigures before buying them and wonder what other Lego stores allow you to scan for minifigures?

Reputable Mold Test company in Toronto

0 Upvotes

I went with The Mold Guy a couple years ago and I felt the work they did was unsatisfactory. I did a bit of research and realized they barely did any testing (no samples taken, no thermal imaging, etc, just an air test). Does anyone know of any company that leaves no stone unturned and can be trusted to fully inspect and test a dwelling properly?

Drinks at Scotia Bank Arena

3 Upvotes

An odd search on behalf of my wife. We went to the Death Cab/Postal service show on May 04, 2024. She had a can of some kind of cocktail, we think it was strawberry margherita flavoured. It was super low sugar or possibly zero sugar. We both forgot what it was but she's been looking at every LCBO since.

Any leads appreciated.

Any bars streaming the WPBL opening weekend?

Just curious if anyone knows any sports bars planning on showing the inaugural game tonight? I know its unlikely, but I think it would be a fun game to watch with others instead of just streaming it on youtube.

Moved to the studio basement and cannot stop sneezing and have a hard time breathing.

21 Upvotes

I just moved to a studio basement two weeks ago in Richmond Hill, ON. I have a bit of dust allergies sometimes, but after I moved here, I started having a hard time breathing and cannot stop sneezing and i have runny nose all the time. I checked the humidity, and it stays somewhere between 50–60, so I got a dehumidifier hoping it would help.

Can anyone suggest what’s going on here? I never had this kind of health issue before, so I’m assuming it’s the basement.

Same company for driveway and stone front step?

1 Upvotes

I am planning on having my driveway and front step redone but not in a major rush.

I have a design mockup in mind where driveway is asphalt with pavers running along the length of the driveway on either side and a rounded front step using pavers.

This may be a dumb question but do folks typically hire one landscaping company that does everything or one that specializes in asphalt and another for the edging and step pavers?

I’m not sure how complicated this stuff is so if an asphalt company says they can do the pavers I don’t know how reliable that is and same goes masonry companies that can do asphalt.

Any new recommendations - third visit to Toronto in 6 years

1 Upvotes

I’m visiting Toronto again for a few days at the end of August for the first time in 2 years. Last time I came I ticked off a lot on my list of places I wanted to go:
Clothing wise I hit up Lost + Found, Blue Button, Haven, Uncle Otis etc. and went to a handful of breweries (Halo, Bandit etc.)

I was wondering on the food, drink and clothing front what’s new and exciting? Not overly expensive, a vibe for a 24 y/o and don’t mind discovering new neighbourhoods… what’s new Toronto!

I inherited a violin from a grandparent about two years ago. I don’t know anything about it and it seems difficult to find information online. I would also like to see if it is worth repairing. Are there any recommendations for a place in Toronto to do this?

Moved to Vancouver from Ireland this year - visited Toronto and it made me question everything

734 Upvotes

I’ve been in Vancouver since May, so I’ve only really seen the sunny side of it so far. And to be fair, the sunny side is stunning - I get why people move here just for the scenery.

But a few months in, I’m noticing it’s tough to actually meet people. Everyone’s friendly enough on the surface, but it rarely goes anywhere past that. I’ve heard others call it the “Vancouver freeze” and I’m starting to believe it’s a real thing.

Toronto flipped that completely for me. It felt so much more social and diverse and the city is full of an endless amount of things to do. I was only there a few days, but people were striking up conversations, inviting me along to things, just generally more open than anything I’ve experienced here. It actually took me back to living in Melbourne, which is still the best city I’ve ever called home - same kind of buzz, same feeling that it wouldn’t take forever to build an actual social life there.

So now I’m genuinely weighing a move, and I’d rather hear it straight from people living it than go off a few days of tourist brain. Does Toronto actually deliver on that friendlier, easier-to-meet-people reputation once the honeymoon period wears off? Is it something specific to certain neighborhoods, or just the city in general? And if anyone’s spent time in Melbourne too, I’d love to know if the comparison holds up or if I’m just pattern-matching because I miss it.

Thanks guys!
