Sens Lounge: "Pleeease won't you be.....my neighbour"

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

    In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server
Sorry for crashing your board, but I am wondering if anyone thinks there is a chance that Rideau Canal skateway will be open through March 8. I suspect not as the weather is getting warmer and rain is forecast for next week, but if anyone has a prediction, I'd appreciate it. Thank you.

Nope. It might open for a day or two coming up as its going to be highs of -6(-24 low), -13(-23 low), -5(-8 low) which can reopen it.

But starting March 4th it will be highs of +2, +4, +1, which will probably kill the canal for the season as it doesn't get much colder than freezing after...and by mid March is historically over 0 for highs.

Thanks. I figured as much looking at the forecast for the week. I appreciate the confirmation.
 
What's the deal with the ignore funtion? Does anybody know why it asks if I want to see a post of somebody I have on ignore? That's the whole purpose of "ignore". So I don't see the post.

Yeah I think it changed just in the last few days.
 
Don't mean to go too political or emo here...but is anyone else, like, terrified about the future right now?

Is it weird that people aren't talking about it more?

I honestly think I need to see a shrink.

I'd guess it's fatigue as much as anything. You get used to a tire fire when it's perpetual.

But yes, the future's a scary place to think about. No idea where it's all going, but it's nowhere good. My personal approach has been to just focus on what I can do in the here and now to make my life, and those around me, a little better. Just because the top-level shit is broken beyond repair doesn't mean we should agonize about things over which we have no control.

I'm a grown ass man and I honestly feel like I need a hug. I've been low-key toying with the idea of moving to europe. I feel like people are ignoring what's going on.

I honestly just need people to validate that they're feeling the same or confirm that I'm going crazy.

EIther would make me feel immensely better.

I think there’s a healthy balance between being informed and over-consuming the news, especially with everything going on right now. It was helpful to me to unplug a bit from current affairs and focus more on family, friends, etc.

I feel tremendous guilt for having a child, that's for sure, but that's not isolated to today.

Don't care what happens to me though. And I definitely give no f***s about the future of humanity. Ants on an anthill until the species is eradicated and another one takes hold eventually. It's inevitable. Hopefully the next one is cool like the Dinosaurs and not lame like humans though.

People in Europe are scared too!

I went too hard core into the news and I told my husband that it was a nice break to listen to true crime podcasts instead of news.

It's quite likely a little bit of both - yes, I think what your feeling is valid and I feel it too. Also, you're likely going a little crazy (I know I am) from the non-stop rhetoric that gets thrown at us everyday via every media stream available.

Unplug. Step back. Take a wide angle view of it all and assess where you want to be and what you want out of it all.

Your Sens takes are still spot-on!
 
I'm not sure what you mean, I just liked your post, and didn't need to confirm.

You fell for it :D

I refuse to ignore anyone but if I did then I would appreciate that feature because I can't stand missing anything :laugh:

I hear ya, and I feel the same way. Been in a weird daze all week. Screwing up at work and just messing up stupid little things all over the place. Scary days.

Also happy that HF is back, at least. Tried getting in last night for the game and it's like...wtf? This old ass computer screwing up again with all this 404 crap or what? Then saw the message this morning about some sort of maintenance and all that. whew....at least something this week turned out ok.
