@jasmith_yorku Heated courtyard patio at The Brig on York St. – access through the pub. Call ahead to have heaters turned on.

Any suggestions for heated patios or indoor restaurants with decent air quality in Ottawa, especially in the Sandy Hill area? Kids have a hockey tournament there in February and we're looking to mitigate risk during group get-togethers.

@arsduo I feel like Canada is such a small place when I can look at a picture like this and be quite confident those are the President's Choice Mixiany cherry tomatoes

@gloria_novovic For air purifiers, anything "True HEPA," really. Amazon sells one under $100 (Renpho) that's quite adequate. Keep an eye on the price and availability of replacement filters for whatever you choose.

OK Twitter: I'm working on a file I find VERY difficult and feeling stuck. Got any hot tips on getting over the hump when you are overwhelmed? Trying to consolidate a draft of a product that's incredibly technical with many reviewers/inputs and find myself just staring at it.

@katiegibbs I believe the answer is no – you need activated carbon.

Serious question twitter. Will these box fan air filters that many of us nerds made for covid work for diesel fumes? Many in Centretown struggling with fumes in their apts. Going to bring mine to a friend on Kent to see if it helps. #OttawaOccupation

@worldofabe Agreed, though feel like the key to not losing great candidates is mostly just to move faster. I know the system is clumsy, but a manager who prioritizes staffing and knows what they're doing can run these giant processes, with the help of their own team, in just a few months.

I'm still surprised at all the stories I hear about people applying for jobs in gov and how little communication there is during the process. I think we lose a lot of great people this way. It seems like such low hanging fruit to be responsive to candidates' questions.

@katieszi @Bell_MTS Wifi repeaters are under $50, if you have a friendly neighbour and can pick up a signal anywhere there's an electrical outlet! Might find you don't need Bell at all. :)

We've found ourselves without Internet on a long wknd. Hardware failure. Not our fault. Earliest Bell can send a technician is WEDNESDAY. 5 days from now. Stunningly bad service from @Bell_MTS has me thinking about Canadian telecommunications & oligopolies. 🧵: 1/n
