It already seemed weird to me that there were all these signs and what not popping up for his mayoral campaign so early before the election. But my wife just looked out at our front lawn this morning, and one of his signs was there! No knock on the door or anything. To be clear, it's firmly on our property, not in any common space that might look like our yard, or even on the bit between the road and sidewalk.

Is this something his crew are doing? Or is this someone messing around?

THERE IS A SONIC DEVICE UNDERNEATH BLAIR ROAD THAT CAUSES THE DRIVERS IN FRONT OF ME TO GO 60KM/H THROUGH THE ENTIRE STRETCH OF 80KM/H ROAD!!!!

I mean seriously people, the posted speed limit is 80, yet for some reason ONLY on Blair are the drivers incapable of finding the accelerator.

I'm generally not the type of person to take to conspiracy theories, however at this point I truly believe that there is some sort of sonic resonator device or Rothschild space laser which controls the bodies and minds of the ever so common "Blair Super-Driver". There is no other explanation.

Edit: unlucky, it seems the sonic devices' range extends to the minds of those in the comment section... Be sure to keep a watchful eye out everyone.

Have you been?

I was walking by the dam in Galt this evening and spotted this guy fishing from the rocks right in the middle of the Grand River. The water was moving really fast today, especially below the dam, so I couldn’t figure out how he even got out there. Did he cross using the stepping stones when the water level was lower, or is there another way to access those rocks?
It also made me wonder how safe this is. From where I was standing, it looked like one slip could send you straight into some pretty strong current.
Is this a common fishing spot for locals? Has anyone here actually fished there before, or is this something only experienced anglers do?
Just genuinely curious because it looked both impressive and a little nerve-wracking.

Hello all

Any suggestions for nice tattoo studios in Cambridge Kitchener area?

Thanks

I am hosting a casual Pokémon card night at my office this Thursday.

I just started collecting again and don't actually know how to play yet, so beginners, casual collectors, and experienced players are all welcome.

Food & Drinks: Free pizza, snacks, and drinks provided.

Decks: I will have free starter decks ready if you want to learn how to play.

Didnt even manage to pull out of station and onto the highway before my vehicle was misfiring and shaking and had to be pulled off the road. I know I cant be the only one that day.

Morning all,
Anyone know why Blair Road is closed where it merges with George Street?

Just saw a tuxedo cat with a collar around 4am on Walnut lane. Lost track of it . Posting just in case someone lost a cat in the area. ​

Just moved down here from Mississauga and can’t find grabba here where can i get some in town??

Hi there. I moved to this city near the start of the year and I have an 8 year old F150 that I want to have some work done on. Particularly, I would like to get a new aftermarket exhaust system to increase my vehicle's horsepower and volume. What are some reputable places in Cambridge to purchase an aftermarket exhaust system and have it installed by professionals? I am only willing to spend 1000 on this project right now.

I am looking for a car dealership in Cambridge Ontario or Nearby to buy a used car. Does anyone have any recommendations?

We're so busy and we've never been good about cooking our own food. Need to pay someone to:

• Meal prep dinners that can be pulled out of the freezer / have minimal prep

• Prep on-the-go lunches that can just be taken out of the fridge in the morning to bring into work (salads, burritos, etc.)

I assume it's best to have them do it in our own kitchen, which is totally fine.

Has anyone paid for a service in this area before? Looking for recommendations

Hey everyone! I'm relatively new to Cambridge (this is my first summer here) and I've been wanting to play a bit of footy again. Are there any fields/parks where groups meet up for some pick up?

I’m almost 13 weeks and need a dating and timing ultrasound. I’m pretty far along and the reason I just had my prenatal appointment is I called my doctor 2 months ago and they couldn’t get me my first appointment until this past week… absolutely ridiculous, I’m so stressed out about this, frustrated and overwhelmed. Specifically on the weekend or a clinic that is open after 5pm.. called the one beside the hospital they’re booked until July 22nd?! I did a private ultrasound 2 weeks ago but my doctor basically said that was useless! Can anyone recommend a good one that’s open on weekends or after 5? Willing to drive to Kitchener, Guelph, etc.

Where : GALT ARENA GARDENS
WHO : Cambridge Highlanders jr b lacrosse team
Against : St Catharines Athletics
Time : 8 pm
Cost : 14$ for adults 6$ for kids and seniors

Be super loud! Cheer the boys on for victory

We would love to see new faces in the crowd tonight to cheer us on - if you’ve never seen lacrosse it’s a lot of fun ! Fastest game on two feet!

Guys what’s the best Shawarma in town ? I am looking for the most authentic Shawarma.

hi everyone!

the uwaterloo premed club will be hosting a virtual med student panel on June 11 (TONIGHT) from 7pm to 8:30pm and we would love to see you all there!!!

we’re planning to host students from various medical schools in Canada (Queen’s, UofT, TMU, McMaster, Western, Ottawa, McGill) so this could be an excellent opportunity for you to ask any questions you might have about a particular school directly to a student currently studying there.

the link to the microsoft teams meeting can be found here: teams.microsoft.com/meet/266723940410079?p=qdEsmwsMtoD3twWUdQ

if you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to let us know :)

Will i be able to specialize from the several majors in the double degree math bba, like act sci, etc?

Current computer engineering student on first co-op term (after finishing 1A & 1B). I hear back from an employer tomorrow for a Fall co-op which if I get, I really would like to take. Is it possible for me to do this and then switch to stream 4 without any problems?

In theory it should work out because I would be perfectly in line with stream 4 (winter term we both would do 2A while having completed 2 co-op terms).

If there is anyone who has made this switch, please pm me or respond here with info on how you did it, I would greatly appreciate it!!

This may be a long shot, but.

Someone cut my son's bike lock at school (Forest Heights) and stole his bike; a bike that he worked and saved for and was his pride and joy.

I have a devastated teenager. It has been reported to police but I know they get these reports daily so not counting on hearing anything. If you see this bike around, please let me know. It is very identifiable (dark purple with yellow writing).

I've been sick for about 4-5 days now and I'm concerned about my ability to write my two upcoming midterm exams - one on Monday and one on Wednesday next week.

I have a few questions about the Verification of Illness Form (VIF) process:

1. How does the VIF process work, and where is the best and easiest place to get one?

2. Can a single VIF cover both midterms?

3. If my symptoms happen to improve by Monday but I wasn't able to study or focus properly due to being sick for the past several days, would I still be eligible to submit a VIF for either or both exams?

Any guidance on next steps or who I should be contacting would be really appreciated.

Anyone else get waitlisted this year 🫠? Im tryna get a sense of the number of people who got waitlisted and see if there is anyone else in the same boat as me. Also do they keep the number of people waitlisted small?

Hello my name is Mackenzie!

I've been a fan of wrestling since I was like 5 (27 now lol) but have never been around fellow fans really. My friend group isn't really into it or nerd out as much as I do I'd say.

Looking to meet some fellow fans and possibly see if people would want to go see any local promotions. Would gladly pay for gas money 😁

I’ve been reaching out to my academic advisors for a while but it seems they don’t do 1 on 1 meetings anymore and only answer questions through emails? They just gave me a bunch of useless resources that I’ve gone through that don’t actually help with the type of questions I have. Since when have academics advisors stopped doing their job?

Edit: going through their own site, it says that academic advisors have 15 minute virtual/ in-person meetings. So whether it’s summer time or not they should specify on there. students.wlu.ca/academics/support-and-advising/academic-advising/science-advising/assets/resources/connect-with-science-academic-advising.html. Honestly this is absolute garbage, if you have semesters going on during the spring/ summer have your advisors available for conversations.

Chat Shopify slimed my ass after the life story and I feel stupid now. Is this a common occurrence or did I just get unlucky 😭

It seems like there are no laws or no enforcement about proper signage and safe pedestrian walkways here.

They are doing construction in my neighbourhood and I have witnessed multiple things that absolutely would not fly where I’m from.

For example, they put up a “yield to oncoming traffic sign” that was wedged between two pieces of equipment and wasn’t even slightly visible to the cars that were supposed to yield.

When I was walking today the sidewalk was randomly blocked with no alternate walkway. I was forced to either run across the street or turn around and walk 5 minutes to the next crosswalk and then come back. I am slightly horrified thinking of what someone in a wheelchair would’ve done. This has been a pretty regular occurrence also.

This is my first construction season living in KW. Where I’m from they are required to have proper signage at all times, required to either have signage that the sidewalk is closed up ahead or provide a safe alternate walkway. Is this not the law here or is it just not enforced?? If it’s not being enforced who do I contact about this??

Adding a little rant because I’m tired of this. Honestly this construction is making my life hell as an autistic person. Every day different roads and sidewalks are blocked off with no warning. I try to walk a different way to avoid the construction and suddenly another sidewalk is blocked. The workers are rude and unhelpful when I’m trying to figure out how to get past them. One time they directed me to walk into a piece of equipment that was swinging in the air??

Today one of the workers came and started spraying spray paint in my yard (like less than a foot away from me) at the exact same time I was leaving my house even though I saw him hanging out there while I was getting ready. Almost as if he wanted to get paint on me or at least make me think he might :/

It seems like they aren’t doing anything all day but they’ll use super loud equipment at 7am (like so loud my windows shake). I can’t bring my pets outside because the noise scares them. At this point I don’t want to leave my house without my partner because every time I’m having to add 5-10 minutes to my walk, run across streets when I don’t feel safe doing so, walk a different route every single time, deal with rude workers…

(Edited to add more to the rant portion).

RuPaul has a new movie out called Stop!That!Train! And as a big fan of drag race I want to go see it, but none of the theaters in KW or even Cambridge are showing out. I gotta go to Guelph/Oakville/Toronto etc. to see it. Does anyone know why this is?

Is that allowed? My work is planning a summer party, and we might do it at Victoria Park (specifically at the Pavilion) I just wanted to see if anyone knows if it’s permitted to drink alcohol outside? We typically set up lawn games for the kids, so we want the parents to be able to watch their little ones if they’re outside, while they have a drink.
Any insight is helpful! Thanks!

Hey all!

My fiance and I, with our dog, will be staying in Kitchener for a weekend (end of June) at an air bnb to attend a funeral. The funeral will only be a short afternoon so we have plenty of time to explore.

We are outdoorsy people, but also enjoy going out at night for dinners, drinks, dancing.. we also enjoy cheesy date night ideas like escape rooms, arcades, and so on.

Please hit me with your must sees, do’s and eats around the area! 🤗

WatRank lets you see what everyone else who got offers/ranked for positions is going to rank those jobs back. It might seem pointless if you're taking an offer you got since nobody else's ranks are going to affect you anymore, but it helps everyone else figure out what to expect and what they should rank companies back. You'd want people to do the same for you in future co-op terms! In order for everyone to benefit, everyone needs to contribute. Please post your ranks in WatRank!

breach of a release order >> seems like that's the "norm" these days :(

ive heard fall is the hardest term for finding a place for only 4 months, and its looking pretty bleak rn. does it pick up after the first co-op cycle matches get finalized? just want to prepare for the worst.

That *isn't* Kinkaku.

Planning on taking ec260 first semester next year, everyone’s saying Morrison is a bad prof and they learned everything themselves. In that case should I just skip his lectures and self teach everything?

Please let me know thanks

I'm currently in my first academic term and honestly, the whole co-op cycle is starting to feel like a massive weight on my shoulders. I'm in CS and the prep for the job hunt is already becoming a full-time job in itself. Between trying to keep my GPA decent and then spending all my free time polishing my resume and applying to roles that I'm barely qualified for, I feel like I'm burning out before I've even hit second year.

I've been seeing a lot of people talk about how essential it is for the industry, especially with the current market being so weird, but I'm genuinely wondering if the stress is worth the potential payoff. If I were to opt out and just do a regular degree, would I be making a huge mistake in the long run? I feel like I could actually enjoy my classes and focus on learning the material properly instead of just grinding LeetCode every single night just to have something to show for my work term search.

Does anyone here actually regret staying in the co-op program? Or did you find a way to balance the search without losing your mind? I'm also curious about how much it actually impacts your starting salary if you don't have that Waterloo co-op experience on your resume. I feel like I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place here. Any advice from seniors or alumni would be massively appreciated because I'm seriously considering talking to an advisor about switching to the regular program next term.

Heat lightning going absolutely bonkers, 0 thunder whatsoever.

Living at Fergus house rn and CSL is doing the shittiest job (not doing it at all even.) I’ve had numerous issues within just 1 month of moving in and it’s actually hurting my quality of life. Had to rant and find out if other people are also going through the same thing.

1. Water extremely hot: any source of water becomes hot after a few seconds so it’s basically impossible to use lukewarm/cold water. You can get warm water by finding a sweet spot 0.0001 radians wide.

2. AC not working: they’ve been sending emails about trying to fix it and sent one saying they finally did but it doesn’t. It’s hotter inside too so I’m basically sweating in my sleep.

3. No receptionist: What’s the point of having a game room, pool table, etc. if you don’t have a receptionist to hand out stuff? Waited for the person at Fergus’ desk to give me a second of attention during her phone call pouting about some water jug and asked her a question only for her to say they’re using the reception as a lease office.

4. Basically text only wifi: The wifi is so slow and unreliable that I’ve had to use data. Like how does it take 10 seconds for a text on imessage to send? It can load some videos and web content on a good day but then just disconnects?

I’m writing this as I’m sweating balls in my bed and I honestly could slap the shit out of anyone who works at CSL

I’m really worried abt the mc, how do u recommend i study for that?

How do u recommend i study for the first midterm overall, aiming for 90+, i did the previous midterm, but idk what to do more. And is doing the previous midterms enough?
