Work Lunch Suggestions

Hi friends,

My work wants to order in for a team lunch this week. One of our members is Halal and we’d prefer if delivery was an option. I’m not from the city so I don’t know many places and all the restaurants I’ve been to in Burlington have not been Halal. Does anyone have any suggestions? (any cuisine will do since I already found a few Arab and Indian places so more variety would be appreciated & preferably a bit more upscale than like a random shawarma or pizza place) Thanks a lot in advance!

PSA on Speed Bumps in Residential Areas

You know those extra wide speed bumps that Burlington has scattered throughout the residential areas? YOU DO NOT NEED TO SLOW DOWN TO A COMPLETE STOP TO GO OVER ONE. These things are made to be driven over at speed (40 km/h). Unless you are one of those douchebags with a lowered car and after-market muffler, there is absolutely zero reason to slow down for these if you are going the speed limit.

I swear to god if I have to be behind an F150 with 18 inches of clearance and has never had a single thing hauled in the bed who slows down to 1 km/h to go over these one more time, I may actually lose my mind. Just drive people. Put your phone down, drive the speed limit, use your turn signals and act like a damn normal adult humanoid.

EDIT: I live in one of these neighbourhoods and I definitely don't want people speeding and appreciate the controls in place to reduce this. You know what else I don't want? People attempting to drive between 0 and 1 km/h over a speed bump because then other drivers get impatient and do reckless things. Just drive the speed limit like a normal person. That's all.

New tv extended warranty question

Hi. Debating on getting a new 77" LG G4 (or possibly the Samsung S90D to save about 20%). However not sure if I should get the offered extended warranty. Best Buy is about $900 for 4 years, Visions about $700. Any suggestions if a warranty is required? Thanks

Downtown gyms with heavy bags

Hi everyone!

I am visiting Burlington for work, and I am staying at the Waterfront Hotel on Lakeshore and Brant.

Does anyone know of a gym downtown that has a heavy bag?

I checked Google Maps, but it looks like the gyms in walking distance do not have heavy bags. I'm hoping someone has a lead 🙏🤞

905 Round-Up: Crombie’s Housing Plan and Ford Hits Back on Trump

https://preview.redd.it/ql8axmtwqf7e1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=a004398d3546c7383d89d9f81af3378fcbea3300

The Podcast is Here

Coming off our previous episode with Evan Scrimshaw, the Ontario Liberals announced a major part of their housing platform. Their plan would eliminate development charges from municipalities, replace them with a provincial fund, end the Land Transfer Tax for new home buyers and bring in phased-in rent controls for renters. Is this what progressives seek to win themselves to the Ontario Liberals? And are we going to be eating our words after our previous episode? Well yes and no. We discuss why this is good and its shortcomings in actually getting housing built.

Our second story focuses on how Premier Doug Ford of all people in Canada is the one punching back at President Donald Trump. In retaliation to Trump's proposed 25% tariffs, his promise to cut off electricity to American states is the standout statement in what is shaping up to be a trying time between our two countries. Joel walks back his initial statement on social media and both of our hosts ask, is this what's needed?

Machines at planet fitness?

I was considering joining planet fitness but I looked at their virtual tour images and it seems like they only have cardio machines and smith machines & leg curl as the only strength machines? Is that true or is there another section with other strength machines? Also do they have a free weight area and barbells?

I'm not new to the gym but I prefer more welcoming environments, so that's what made me consider PF in the first place

I was also looking at movati but the 1 year commitment isn't ideal lol

Home Internet

Hello! We are moving in to the Dynes area (Woodview Rd). Just wondering which service provider folks in this area are currently subscribed to.

We are with Bell and we called to have the service moved to our new address but were told that the max they can offer in that area is 50mbps. We need faster internet speed for work. Thank you!

Looking to Meet New Female Friends (30+) in Burlington!

Hey everyone! I recently moved to Burlington, and while I love my friends back in Niagara, I’d really like to connect with some amazing women here too.

I work from home, and since clubs aren’t really my scene (nothing against them, just not my vibe), I’m not sure where to meet new friends. I’d love to find some local girlfriends to hang out with, explore the area, and build new friendships.

If you’re also looking to expand your social circle or know of any great ways to meet people, I’d love to hear from you!

Edit: I love: Taylor Swift Social Media Coffee/Wine/Going Out to eat. Making content (TikTok, instagram etc) Movie nights Chill shopping day

Floaty Light in the Sky

So with all the buzz about lights being observed in the sky, I recorded this Saturday night. The original video is much longer. The bright light in the sky about one third point of the screen is moving left to right all be it very slowly. There is an obvious airplane moving right to left on the right side. The bright one may well be an airplane but I've not seen an airplane that bright. Thought I'd post it for people to see, criticize, or simply be in awe of....

Weird light in the sky last night

My dog needed outside last night around 10 p.m. or so. I went out to make sure the yard was clear before letting her out and the sky was stunning. Crystal clear, full moon and lots of stars and planets visible. One star was massive, just over the horizon towards the east. After stargazing for a bit, I let my dog out then went back inside. Had a snack, grabbed a drink and chatted with my husband for a bit. Must have been 5 minutes or so.

My dog still wasn’t at the door so I went to check on her. She was playing a bit so I stood at the back door waiting. I had a view of the massive star so I was watching it. It was a little strange how big it was and clearly glowing/emitting light. Not a planet. I turned off my back light so I could see it better. Turned it back on. Next thing I knew the star dimmed, then started slowly moving left/north? I think I saw it flash and perhaps turn red for a split second before it disappeared through the trees. Wtf? Did anyone else see this? Feels like it was too distant yet still so large to be a drone? It would have looked so normal unless you watched over the period I did. I’m sure there’s an explanation…or maybe I’ve jumped on the crazy train.

This was in Brant Hills.
