Walkable neighbourhoods in Ottawa? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

I actually lived for a short while in Hintonburg and though it was pretty walkable. Looking at availability right now its been hard to find anything in that area that has 2 or more bedrooms and is less than 3k a month. Glebe & Westboro also seems like they would be great but I'm not seeing a lot of availability :/

How long does it take you to walk to a grocery store? I'm looking on google maps and it only really looks like there are the stores on bank st you could walk to and it honestly doesn't seem like that great of walk. Like most of the neighbourhood is > 30 minute walk to them. Are there any other stores nearby you can walk to < 20 minutes?

Walkable neighbourhoods in Ottawa? (lemmy.ca)
 

Hello! My wife and I are currently living in Spain but are going to have a kid soon and looking to move back closer to my family in Ottawa. Ideally we would like to live some place walkable and are looking for some advice on neighbourhoods in Ottawa to explore. My family is in Carlington near Carling & Merivale and I’m not a huge fan on that area, Carling isn’t that pleasnt to walk around and the closest grocery store is Food Basics which isn’t that far away but involves walking around Carling and the 417 exit to get to.

I got some mixed advice about lower town and center town. I’ve heard that they are generally walkable but can be sketchy. Is this true in general? For example is lower town sketchy all over or just around Rideau? Like if we found a place south of Laurier would it be sketchy over there?

Are there other neighborhoods you’d recommend in the city that are walkable? I think the big things for me would be, being able to walk to a grocery store that you can get most of what you need, a pharmacy, and having decent access to transit. We’ll have a car but I really don’t enjoy driving and would like to avoid having to drive on daily basis.

Oh wow, this looks interesting! My friends and I started playing Valheim again recently and this looks like it might scratch the same itch!

off topic but I wonder where that radar picture came from that it has the canary islands on them 😅

Do you mean sending patches by email? The author for the article also despises them as suggest alternatives for collaboration where you do "pull request" by people giving you a link to their repo and branch name (like literally asking you to try pulling from their git repo), or sending git bundle files which get around a lot of the problems of trying to send patch files around.

I agree that having all the commentary in private by default is not ideal for open source. the email verification idea is interesting since it gives you the benefits of not having to create an account.

To me the article was interesting because it points out ways that git "just works" that people might not realize. Like that you can just create a bare repo and upload to that.

So how is not buying American going for you? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

There is movistar plus which is a bit like crave, so its 100% not cutting off the US as you can watch some american content on it. But it also has a lot of Spanish content which is fresh for us. We're also looking at some UK streaming services that are available in Spain like BBC ITVX but we haven't subscribed yet.

Also looking at the high seas for content we couldn't get at either of those 😅

Last year I moved from Ontario to Spain so avoiding American products has been pretty easy at the grocery store. The main thing has been cancelling online American services like Netflix, Amazon, Google one, Youtube Premium, etc.
