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

[jbeck5]

I'm looking at Wikipedia for population numbers and Orleans there is 125K.

You're forgetting Riverside South and Manotick for Barrhaven's numbers, which adds another 25k.

One thing to note is that the Blair Costco is huge compared to the others in the region. It was the second biggest in Canada when it was built. My guess would be that it was bigger than normal because it was designed to serve all of eastern Ottawa.

I google Orleans population and google told me 139k from the 2021 census.

I'm guessing the 125k is from an older census?

Good point about the size though.

Kind of like how there's 4 sportcheks on the west end of the city and only 2 on the east end...however the two biggest are the place dorleans (super store size) and the St Laurent one (2 storeys) whereas the Barrhaven or Nepean or Kanata locations are just like sport experts/sport smart sized.

Makes you wonder how they decide multiple smaller locations vs one big location...and what's the driving factor.

Why does the west seem to have more but smaller locations while the east has less, but bigger locations?

I wonder.

-Kanata is 98k former city or 137k when counting urban.
-Stittsville is 40k.
-barrhaven is 103k
-gloucester is 150k
-cumberland is 81k
-orleans is 139k
-orleans is made up of a portion of Gloucester and a portion of Cumberland making up 139k...my guess is 50/50 maybe 60/40

So maybe 70-80k of 150k Gloucester people live in Orleans, and maybe 60-70k of 81k Cumberland people live in Orleans.

But Orleans being 140k, Kanata being 100k and Stittsville 40k...and Barrhaven 100k.


You haven't really done anything to change the fact that the populations per Costco are very close and one in Orleans would make as much sense as one in Barrhaven or one in Kanata.

But the one major thing you have omitted is that those Costco's are on major highways with the exception of one. That one serves somewhat of an interior population similar to that of Gloucester.

Personal!

The prevailing wind in Ottawa is ENE in winter or WSW. I live in the south. When ENE, air over Ottawa misses me. When SWS I get it first, and so my 77 BTU furnace spews its toxins onto the open fields of Lemoge. I neither receive or be the source of misery.

Ottawa typically gets 7-8 Micro Grams/M^3. So even those living in that corridor have little to fear.

Now 8 million live in the GTA, 6 million in Greater Montreal. 5 million in greater Vancouver. Edmonton, Calgary, QC, Winnipeg.
Alberta is 6 million
Northern Ontario is 2 million
BC 6 million.

300 major cities across this planet at 8 million or more.

And so a cool 2.4 BILLION People live in toxic cesspools. Sucking in air with higher than 25 Micro grams/M^3.

2.4 billion..... 1/4 of his planet.

But hey, we can drive an SUV large enough to live in, from our front door to our back door. And gas is $1.49/litre. And we can air-condition and heat a store, and have him leave his entrance and exit doors wide open (Hello Freshco next to Vimy Bridge).

There is a Round-About at the hospital. You park there and drop off or pick up people. You will like it. Stand there. See the faces.

See the women who do not want to lose their hair from Chemo, wear ridicules looking cooling ice caps to prevent hair loss... See, the ones that took time to produce their own chemo cap... You will like it.

You can lie down or sit in a chair to get your chemo.. If you unplug the IV machine it beeps forever until you return from the bathroom. Always flush twice so that chemo residue goes down and does not slosh the ass of the next toilette user.

Never use your bear hands when touching vomit or pee from a freshly treated patient. The chemo is derived from Mustard gas developed for WWI. And will kill you. Be sure to have a barf bag in the car. And to endure sleepiness nights.

And the best part... Learn to bite your lip and hold back. BECAUSE SOME ASSHOLE WILL GIVE YOU LIP OR TROUBLE, JUST WHEN YOU ARE AT THE LOWEST. And you have to debate; is it best to walk away or should I kill them and be okay with spending the rest of my life in jail...... You would be surprised how the debate is way harder than you think. I came awfully close to option b) on many occasions.

You need help.

Which I think would make my case for having an Orleans location.

If the one in Gloucester was more meant to also serve people much further out in Orleans who are coming in by the highway, why is that the ONLY one not directly on the highway?

On one hand you claim all the other locations are good because they're on the highway...but on the other hand, you claim the only one that's not on the highway is meant to serve the wider geographical area...that seems ass backwards.

The one that's meant to serve the broader location is the one that is most needed to be on the highway.

Also, if they would give the 174 some love, it wouldn't be any different than the 417, as it is basically an Orleans extension.

Growing up in Orleans, you would always think the east split going south is actually the offshoot of the 417 and not the other way around . 90-99% of the traffic went east and not south to Walkley.

If your furnace is only producing 77 BTUs you should probably get that checked out

It's not. The one not right off the highway is the Merivale location. All the others you can literally see on the highways.

Sorry, didn't get sleep. I've been going via Blair literally over the highway and therefore after zombying all morning...I didn't even make the connection that it's at the Blair exit.

This is so embarrassing lol

Because the 174 has been trash, I've been going via Innes instead, and so my brain made the connection of how long I have to drive on Blair from Innes, but my mind made my think that was from the 174. It's been years now since I went via the 174 and always from Innes/Blair these days lol. My bad.

Don't have newborns. If you are to have kids, order the kidlings that are already a year old.

Sounds like you need a new furnace if the efficiency rating is 77.

BTU is a thermal unit, not an efficiency measurement,

77 BTU might be enough to heat your glovebox in the car, but it could be extremely efficient in doing so, we just don't know...

 

[coladin]

My dad, a boomer, strongly endorses this. He always says "all the boomers are aging out...there's going to be a lot of money to be made there." Invest in companies that do stuff for old people.

I'm sure he says that for me to make money AND for him to have more affordable Care lol.

and a lot of jobs, with no one to work them

...now I'm trying to figure out how many BTUs you'd actually need to heat a glovebox. The rule of thumb is generally 5ish per cubic ft so I guess it'd depend how big your vehicle is.

Huh, I guess I way overestimated the requirement, lol.

Too much, candle is closer to 100 BTU. If the 5 BTU per square foot rule is applied, you could heat a bunch of gloveboxes with a candle

Ya keep a couple in your glove box, or car emergency kit, just in case, breakdown in winter.

Don't quote me on the cubic footage thing because as a general rule of thumb you can't always depend on rules of thumb. I'll run it through the F280-12 so we can really nail down the heat load and loss to get a more accurate BTU requirement.
On a side note, this new cannabis oil I got for after work is actually pretty good.

Hear me out, what if, you had a really high fever and farted in the glove box? How many BTU's?

Isn't Ottawa as a whole extremely sparsely populated and has a lower population density than Bangladesh?

Buy a heat pump, made by Trane, its owned by Blackrock and a certain Prime Minister has lots of shares of it. They say heat pumps save the environment

I like the way you think. That reminds me of the conundrum of how hard you'd need to slap a raw chicken breast in order to fully cook it via kinetic energy. The important questions of life.

i mean i guess, they do tend to be a lot more energy efficient so...

Best part is the AC. Love going to my brothers house in the summer for that reason.

Even up here in the Yukon, having Air Conditioning is starting to feel like a requirement, not a luxury.

-Kanata is 98k former city or 137k when counting urban.
-Stittsville is 40k.
-barrhaven is 103k
-gloucester is 150k
-cumberland is 81k
-orleans is 139k
-orleans is made up of a portion of Gloucester and a portion of Cumberland making up 139k...my guess is 50/50 maybe 60/40

So maybe 70-80k of 150k Gloucester people live in Orleans, and maybe 60-70k of 81k Cumberland people live in Orleans.

But Orleans being 140k, Kanata being 100k and Stittsville 40k...and Barrhaven 100k.


You haven't really done anything to change the fact that the populations per Costco are very close and one in Orleans would make as much sense as one in Barrhaven or one in Kanata.

With Orleans, you can also include Clarence-Rockland and Plantagenent. That adds another 25-30k to the number of Orleans shoppers.
