Fuck me with a shoehorn and call me Birkenstock. These people act like Carney and the Liberals sailed the Theodore Tugboat to the Middle East and poked the damn hornet's nest themselves. The kindness of those who think it's best to introduce these people to a tech literacy program... (6)

2. Please help I need advice - drug addicts using daily in residential area （ 84 ｜ 22 ｜ 31）
Original title:Please help I need advice- addicts using drugs daily in residential neighbourhood
Post summary:I'm seeking advice on how to deal with addicts who harass me, threaten me, and openly use drugs across the street from my house and on my residential property. Drug use is now a daily occurrence. I'm also frequently attacked, spat on, and harassed by these people. The small apartment building across the street has two units selling drugs, and homeless people squat in the building's hallways. I've been assaulted 3 times during this period.

- Submit a ton of reports to Crime Stoppers and TBPS online reporting. The first step is creating a paper trail. (38)
EN: File lots of reports with Crime Stoppers and in the TBPS online reporting. The first step is to create a paper trail. - You told the police they've been violent/assaulted you, dealing/trafficking drugs, and carrying weapons while doing so... and what exactly were you told? Because these are indictable charges. They claim they want to get armed dealers out of this city. Please name and shame the councillors and police you spoke with. If you're willing. Especially councillors, who can be voted out. (11)

Contact the ones in office and your ward councillor, and keep contacting them until you get a response. As others have said, contact Crime Stoppers every time you see an incident. If you don't have one, set up a camera. (7)

Contact the at large ones as well as your ward one and keep contacting them until you get an answer. As someo - Good luck. Don't expect to get useful replies by posting here. This is commonplace in Thunder Bay, and complaining about it will just get you labeled a racist or a monster without empathy. When they blow smoke in your face, we should show endless sympathy for their plight. The best you can do is call the police as often as you feel the need, though you shouldn't expect much of a response, but at least there's a record. Then the landlord and other neighbors in the same situation... (5)

- Definitely call ahead if you plan to go. I went two years ago, it was amazing, but the owner said he and his partner are the only employees because they can't get anyone to work there (too remote), and they sometimes have trouble keeping the advertised hours. (7)

5. Cheap and acceptable winter tires （ 31 ｜ 5 ｜ 13）
Original title:Cheap and acceptable winter tires
Post summary:I'm moving from the GTA to TB for school soon. Will bring my hand me down Toyota Camry. Want a set of new studded winter tires. Since studs add a lot of cost, I plan to go with a relatively cheap but studdable winter tire. Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions? I don't mind Chinese, Canadian Tire, or no-name brands, as long as they have a good track record. Thanks.

- Studs are fine in my opinion, but you don't really need them, a good set of winters like Blizzaks will do. All four on steel rims should do the trick. (5)
EN: As far as I’m concerned studded are great but you don’t really need them, a good set of winters like Blizzaks would be fine. All four wheels mounted on steel rims should do the trick. - Canadian Tire's warranty is unbeatable, and in most cases, the price is the best too. (5)
EN: You can’t beat Canadian tire’s warranty and for the most part, pricing is some of the best too. - Blackcircles.ca has the best prices I've found. You still need to get them mounted and balanced, but it's still cheaper than buying at CT. (3)

I thought, what the hell, they're cheap enough, if they last two seasons I'll consider it a win. It's been 5 seasons and they're still going strong, lots of tread and studs. PMC Tire. (3)

6. Beer Store card reader （ 28 ｜ 8 ｜ 10）
Original title:The Beer Store card reader
Post summary:My husband went to the Beer Store with his credit card, but he swears the card was far from the scanner when the clerk finished the transaction - about 2-3 feet away. My husband said I need to scan, and the guy said it's done, it's already processed. This made him uneasy. I checked our bank later, and it did go through. Do they have extended range readers or something? Has anyone else had this experience? Forgot to mention the Red River and Clarkson location.

- Was he already half in the bag? Haha (28)
EN: Was he already half in the bag? Lol - Sorry, 3 feet seems a bit far. By that logic, anyone pulling out a card in a store would automatically be broke. Some cards are sensitive, and so are some readers. (23)
EN: Sorry 3ft away seems to be a stretch. With that logic anyone pulling out there cards in the store would automatically be out of money. Some cards are sensitive and so are some readers. - I've had this happen to me a few times recently with Apple Pay. My credit card came up first, but I've been using debit for purchases lately. When I selected debit, my phone was about 2 feet from the reader, and the Visa showed 'purchase complete'. I know it happened at a couple of gas stations, and today at Odena in KB. (2)

Post summary:Well, the weather is nice, and next weekend (Saturday, May 9) looks good. For anyone interested, let's meet up and see if further gatherings might be of interest. I thought we could go for a short walk and see the spring plants coming up, and the birds flying in. If people want to practice fire making, I'll also bring a couple of bow drill sets. We'll meet in the parking lot of the George Burke baseball field near Balmoral. Message me for now, not sure how...
