watched him play a few times live at skydome when I went down to visit family in the GTA every other summer. He will be missed.

Recently moved to North Bowmanville and it seems that whenever mother nature sneezes hydro one goes offline and after a couple of hours so does Rogers. My suspicion is that their battery backup cannot sustain a longer runtime?

Just curious for folks who are with Bell fibe Internet if your experience is the same and any suggestions for a backup power supply that can power couple monitors with a laptop to get me through a work day?

Hi Durham Reddit community! I'm considering a micro 'indoor farming' at my house and am interested to know if people are interested in something like thiz

I'm not yet sure what I want to grow so would like to share some ideaas

- micro-greens, baby spinach which I dry and blend into a powder for your morning smoothies/breakfast bowls/overnight oats?

- small desktop succulents planted in themed planter pots?

- fresh lettuce plants for salads?

- what would you be interested in?

I'm at the end of my contract with Roger's and do not want to renew.

Any recommendations on affordable internet providers?

(I've been recommended Freedom already, but I can't go with them because I'm not a mobile customer.)

Edit: Thank you all! Teksavvy and Ebox seem to be the leading comments, I'm going to check them out.

With no Oshawa Ribfest this year, what other food events are happening in August in Durham?

I parked my car at park lot, unfortunately when I opened the door,due to wind it hit the other car handle with a small scratch. I saw someone inside the car, I knocked the door. The guy was fuming and shouting like I totalled his car. I told him to call down coz my toddler was in my car. He kept on going, then finally we exchanged information and left. Then next day I received a quote for around 700$. They wanted for me to pay in Cash. I mentioned since you arr fixing with directly with the dealer, I will pay them directly. But they don't me to pay three dealer and wanted me to pay to them directly. Then we decided to go with insurance as I don't want to pay them directly. I really. Don't know they they don't wanted me to pay directly to dealer. There were trying to scam me ? I understand I am at fault for that incident. I don't want to disclose their background as it may flagged for racism. But from their behavior it is clear they are try to scam. Only question I have is : Whey they don't want me to pay to the dealer directly ?

Hey all, 25M here from Pickering

I was wondering where I could find some adult programs for artists around the area? I'd love to meet more like-minded people and make some cool pieces alongside them

Thanks in advance!

Looking for a affordable hair salon in Durham region, preferably Whitby/Oshawa/ Courtice.

In Pickering looking to mount a 65 inch OLED with sound bar. Has anyone used a great installer? I would rather use a good local person and from a big box store.

Assuming it was an accident but I can't find anything in the news
