@burnitdown all pints are $12 except the house light beer that's $8 I think. They don't have Heineken on draft. Or Red Cap.
To various degrees of success have done basically every job in music except musician. Pretty good with wires but no electrician.

@burnitdown a pint at the dominion tavern, one of the cheaper places in town, is $12 before tip. Bluesfest is $12 and there’s no tipping option. Or $11.50 for domestic.
#Bluesfest dinner. Beer was $12 all in, that’s not even expensive these days. Curry, not bad at all. #ottawa
@grimmware FYI, the stock antennas that come with Heltec’s are always quite bad in my experience. Not quite useless but close.
@eljojo HD25s are the best!
@burnitdown it was there when I first moved downtown in 1995? Don’t think they lasted long.
@burnitdown Seems very likely. Boneheaded Records sign is probably under there somewhere.
I remember when this was Bonehead Records in the mid 90s. #ottawa #centretown
Wow, Cheese It Pizza closed. Terrible pizza, across the street from Gabriel’s much better pizza and a block from Awesome Pizza’s slightly better pizza. But an institution never the less. Ate a lot of slices from here on the way home from the market over the years. #ottawa #centretown
@daisybranch you’ll find out shortly I guess. Angry cat, angry owners and bylaw will tell you not to do it again.
Would a game of chess where both players were playing to lose be any easier?

@daisybranch “may seize” not “will”.
@daisybranch sorry about your garden but bylaw doesn’t impound cats. They’ll just give it back to the owners. And feral cats don’t read bylaws.
@jerome are you using the stock Heltec antenna? They are generally very bad.
@oscillator @jorgeluis I used these ones. https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0B9RYL56H
Denis Villeneuve is directing the next James Bond movie?! I did not see that coming. https://ottawa.citynews.ca/2025/06/27/bond-007-canadian-ties/
@oscillator @jorgeluis using the stock antenna that came with the Heltec? They are, in my experience, almost useless. Never once tested one that had close to acceptable SWR.
Possible exceptions. Mad Max, jumping in at Fury Road is fine. Star Wars, machete order might be better but I’m too old to have perspective.
