Holly Moley! Seems like weeks since I have been trying to get my animal into seeing our vet and once we get in a call, it’s on hold forever, last time was a 30 minute hold; only to tell you that all vets are booked so now they have to double book, wait longer and charge you for as if your appointment is an emergency rate‼️ Is that fair⁉️ No the customer, no!! Or you must try again the next morning but the process is repeated for the next week or 3 if you don’t want to pay the emergency rate. Is this fair⁉️ No‼️

Plus in my opinion and experience, twice I experienced the reception being very loud and quite rude, who has over-talked to the high paying customers who only are speaking for their in pain and suffering animal. Maybe one can’t afford to lose an employee like that but I know she would be fired in a heartbeat in the real world‼️Rude‼️Rude‼️ And recently did notice the other employee learning her bad habits….

The vet manager, in scrubs/track suit takes your complaints but doesn’t or can’t do anything about them…hmmm 🧐

My question is how does this get resolved and knowing it’s a for profit business with 3 big corporations behind them 🧐

Edsby doesn't have a proper photo gallery and since we're stuck using it for the Lakehead public board I got AI to make a decent photo viewer app, it's a free Android app (No iPhone version, sorry, someone with an iPhone can put in it Claude/ChatGPT and make one) that wraps the Edsby site and adds:

- Tap any photo in the feed to open it full screen

- Swipe between every photo on the page

- Pinch or double-tap to zoom

- Save button that puts photos in an "Edsby" album on your phone

- "Load older" to pull in older posts

Download (Android only): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zpIZbNCz_9e28AttVmQbkbqvag512Z6S/view?usp=drive_link

Setup:

1. Tap the APK to install. Android will ask you to allow installing unknown apps; Play Protect may warn because it's not from the Play Store. Tap "Install anyway."

2. Enter your school's Edsby address (LDSB is lakehead.edsby.com) and sign in as usual.

3. Optional: to make Edsby email links open in the app, go to Settings → Apps → Edsby Gallery → Set as default → turn on "Open supported links" and tick lakehead.edsby.com.

You sign in directly with Edsby and nothing is sent to me. Not affiliated with Edsby or the school board just annoyed with how bad the app is for looking at photos.

Is there a tally of restaurants that use AI? I’m debating on starting a list. I know for startups it may be hard to get your own work done but like… being so lazy as to not photograph your own food to put on skip or uber is crazy.

This clip has been shared here before, but with the sad news of RJ Mitte's passing, I thought it was worth sharing again.

Back in 2009, during the Season 2 finale of Breaking Bad, his character Walter Jr. mentions a $20 donation from Thunder Bay, Ontario, to his father's fundraising website.

Just a small moment, but it's always neat hearing Thunder Bay mentioned in such an iconic television series.

Rest in peace, RJ.

Does anyone know anything about the land surveys being conducted around the LPH grounds? Is something moving forward with the property? For close to the last week there's been someone onsite working and they've mowed several sections of the field and former garden.

Just to confirm our area is still moving the clocks back in a few weeks? still doing the day light savings time.

Even if the Kenora area is not going to. Follow suit of Manitoba and other provinces will not be moving their clocks again?

Just to confirm this for now?

Hey everyone,

It's been almost a week since we shared TBayEats here, and we wanted to say thanks to everyone who checked it out and took the time to share their thoughts. The number of visitors we got has been really inspiring! We really appreciate it!

One thing a few people pointed out was the AI-generated food images, and that's completely fair. We understand that people would rather see actual photos of the food they're ordering.

We're currently covering over 2,500 dishes from restaurants across Thunder Bay. Copyright law doesn't allow us to simply take photos from Google or restaurant websites and use them without permission or a licence. That's why getting real photos for every dish isn't possible for us just yet.

But we're working on it! We're looking into adding more real food photos wherever possible, and we're also planning a small feature where anyone can upload their own food pictures and give us permission to use them on the website.

Currently, we hope the service helps people choose a meal big or small, pizza or burger in 2 min rather than 20!

We're still improving things, and the feedback from this community has genuinely been helpful. So if there's anything else you'd like us to change or add, please let us know!

Also, happy National Shawarma Day! 🌯

We've added a special banner to the website for today. If you're in the mood for shawarma, head over to https://tbayeats.ca/ and click "See shawarma offers" to check out the latest deals we've found around Thunder Bay.

Thanks again for supporting a local project!

Newly acquired drivers license, two cards on a broke college student budget. All sacred items in my wallet are in the hands of someone who decided my money was best spent on god knows what from where.

I know I’m dumb, and it had to happen on the one day I decide to wear a hoodie that doesn’t like holding things.

I don’t even know why I’m posting this. The person who stole it probably doesn’t even have the means to use Reddit so I guess this is just going out into empty space.

Feel free to leave your own TBay robbery experiences! It’d be nice to know I’m not alone…

To the Mr. Man Bignutz that decided to rev his annoying loud engine on May St a couple minutes ago and wake everyone up:

I'm sure they have specialists that can help you with that pico-appendage of yours. Micro is too generous.

Also, I hope your vehicle stalls far from home when you have uncontrollable diarrhea and no one will let you use their toilets.

Jerk.

Edit: He's back again speeding passed The Alley. Someone threw a bike on the road and he just ran over it.

White lifted Dodge (I think), 4-door with extended mirrors.

Thunder Bay police say two people have been charged and $110,000 in suspected cocaine and fentanyl has been seized following a drug trafficking investigation that concluded with the execution of a search warrant this month.

Heard my American buddies I play games with online talking about this place, I’m not much of a sub fan but my dad is, he goes there, orders the Italian club I think it was. Mind you it’s our fault for not asking the price but no prices were listed, kinda just figured it was gonna be reasonable. He ends up paying 25$ for their Italian club, just food for thought, it’s a bit pricey there

A 56-year-old Quebec man has been charged after police in Thunder Bay received reports from local residents scammers conducting grandparent scam activity.

with the temporary village up and running are the hotly debated designated encampment sites now bylaw enforceable?

if so who do people get in contact with for removal/relocation?

Hello, I am a healthcare worker from India currently undergoing the rigorous process of converting my license to practice in Canada. I see a lot of discussion about lowering immigration levels due to housing and infrastructure strain, but also a massive shortage of medical staff. For those who support reducing immigration numbers, do you see healthcare workers as a necessary exception, or does it not change your overall perspective?How do you feel about immigrants you came across during hospital visits or treatments?

Any suggestions on where to get Bordetella shots for our dogs. Our vet says 18 month wait for a vaccine that lasts 12 months. They don't see an issue with that math.

Anybody know why they closed the James st underpass? Not pissed about it just curious what they are doing

Still sealed. Don’t need it anymore and can’t return it as it’s outside the return window. I have posted an ad on Facebook marketplace as well. Dm me if anyone is interested.
