1. I live in northwest Barrie, I thought my neighbour was playing really loud music, but is it really coming all the way from downtown?
Original English title:So I live in northwest Barrie, I thought my neighbor was playing really loud music but is it really coming all the way from downtown?
Post content summary:Like that's genuinely impressive speakers haha. Literally my house was thumping, I thought it was like a neighbour or a car in their driveway playing really loud music, but I actually could never find where it was coming from, it seemed to keep going across the fields, all the way into town, and since I passed the dump, that's been a long way, haha, anyway I'm glad they keep having these events, if that's the case, I'm sure the rain made it less fun.

4. Gym assistance

EN: Just a reminder that we have a Monthly Community Thread where we relax the rules about advertising and off-topic posts. * Stuff that isn't directly related to Barrie, like national news or general chit-chat * Questions a - Just get up and move. I got full at the community centre. Actually Holly Rec. At first I spent about 3/4 of my time on the treadmill or whatever cardio you like. Losing fat will make you feel a lot better alone. Also work on strength, but as I got leaner, I focused a bit less on cardio. Consistency is key. Even if you don't feel like it, you have to go. One hour a day will change your life.
EN: Just get up and move. I satiated at community centre. Actually Holly Rec. I did about 3/4’s of my time at first on treadmill or cardio you favour. Lose the fat will make you feel much better alone. Work on strength too b - If fat loss is your goal, your diet should be the most important thing. Yes, the gym helps both body and mind, but you can't out-train a bad diet. Strongly limit your sugar intake and count your calories as much as possible. Your goal should be 1800. I've been going to the gym for about 17 years. The advice I can give is to show up as part of your job on every workday. Go straight to the gym after work, it becomes part of your workday. Get on the tread
EN: If fat loss is your goal, your diet should be most important. Yes the gym will help physically and mentally, but you cannot out train a poor diet Strongly limit your sugar intake, and count your calories as best as you c - Abs are made in the kitchen, the best way to lose weight is diet (still go to the gym, but for other health benefits). First look at simple sustainable swaps, from pop to diet pop, low sugar/sodium options, I have a friend who switched from hot dogs to veggie dogs because they have half the calories.

5. Looking for friends/friend group
Original English title:Looking for friends/friend group
Post content summary:I'm a 3300-year-old person, moved to Barrie before the pandemic and didn't prioritize making connections/found it hard to connect. I really like golf and the gym, and I also like team sports. I do have a family, so I can't always host events, but I'll try if I can. If anyone is in the same boat and wants to chat or is interested in adding someone to their group, just throw it out there.

9. The King of the North is at it again
Original English title:King of the North at it again
Post content summary:I just saw this on their website. $1 handling fee per item. They are so greedy and crazy. The reason they add this fee on top of the buyer's premium is because their staff handle each item, list it, take photos, etc. (which is not their job) and because wages and benefits are going up. Great, you also want us to play your staff. These people are all scammers. The sooner they shut down, the better.

Their reasoning for adding in this fee on top of a buyer premium is cause their employees handle each item, list it, photograph it, etc (isn’t that their job) AND cause wages and benefits are going up.
