CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@Oldfartrant @PapyrusBrigade nitpick, but Simplii is just a flank brand of CIBC, not even a separate bank like Tangerine/Scotiabank.

Be sure to follow up with their ombudsman if you get nowhere with the branch: https://www.cibc.com/en/about-cibc/corporate-responsibility/service-commitment/resolving-your-complaints.html

@Oldfartrant When TD has done this kind of idiocy in the past, I can *usually* get away with yelling at them over the phone to fix it. Let me know what the outcome is.

@jwildeboer yeah, I think mine is 5 years with a big asterix. I checked it out in covid, got really confused and bored, and left multiple times to go back to IG/FB/Twitter.

I go here when I don't want to be overstimulated on the corporate social media sites, which could be once a day or once a quarter depending on my mood.

@ottaross @WTL well, it was closer to my mom's house than CU, so it was not uncommon for me to bike through, visit my ducks over at Billings, and bike back through Brewer Park and Carleton on the other side, now there's a shortcut!

@ottaross @WTL I walked it for the first time last year doing some geocaching! Wish they had it when I was in undergrad.

@mlevison @WTL I'm in the same boat; most likely we will walk by, I'd say hello, and then the non-verbal lad will bolt for the Pavillion, but I'd like to dream!

@WTL that's a weekend I have my kids, so any planned outing may be aborted at the last second if someone is sick/tired/angry/sees a cool rock, but I'd love to try and make it!

@human3500 people move to the burbs for the *quiet bucolic life, and then buy the absolute noisiest fucking landscaping toys. I'll never understand it.

@MostlyHarmless my buddy also taught me Howard Nutlick, which makes me giggle.

I've been thinking about #permaculture for a long time now. Not doing anything about it, just thinking.

Well, for once it came to my brain at what seems like an appropriate time in the early spring. I'd like to take steps to get rid of the last remnants of my manicured front and back yard and grow some stuff that is more native to Ottawa. Maybe even grow stuff that would produce food as well and help pollinators.

Since this is an Ottawa-specific server, I'm wondering if the locals have any suggestions on monographs, websites, or other information on finding stuff that would grow especially well in our local environment?
