I get the sense that something isn’t quite right at OpenText. Every so often, the company lays off highly knowledgeable and experienced employees, and from what I’ve seen, it doesn’t seem like AI is the main reason.

After the Micro Focus acquisition, many expected stronger growth and higher profitability. Instead, profits have remained relatively flat despite the larger business. It makes me wonder if there are deeper strategic or operational challenges that aren’t immediately visible. Just an observation from the outside. Curious to hear what others think.

Hello! I'm a 31-year-old woman in Kitchener who's relatively new to Magic: The Gathering (MTG), and I was wondering if there are any local women-only or women-focused MTG groups around.

I'm mostly interested in casual Commander or Standard games. I'm still learning, so I'm looking for a welcoming, low-pressure group that's more about having fun than playing super competitively.

If a group like this already exists, I'd love to hear about it.

And if it doesn't, would anyone be interested in starting one? I feel like I can't be the only lady looking for a casual space to play MTG.

I'd be happy to meet at a local game store, cafe, or another public spot that works for everyone. If you're interested, let me know :)

I just moved to Waterloo finally and I am being taught bus routes by my cousin. we stopped at the mall before leaving so I could eat and she could get a drink AND OH MY GOODNESS THEY DID NOT HOLD BACK ON MY CREAM CHEESE AT POPPY'S BAGELS!

if you are someone who loves overflowing bagels like me GET BAGELS FROM THERE you will not be disappointed (and on a side note I'm seen as female even so I'm a man so people usually put my name as Donatella but these guys actually got my name right and put down Donatello on the receipt)

edit:forgot to add the image of the bagel is there anyway I can add one?

9 times in basically one month, so an average of just over twice a week.

Such an outstanding young dude /S

Hello,

Does anyone know of a family dr accepting new patients in Waterloo, St. Jacobs or Elmira? I’m looking for a regular drs office and not one of those walk in clinic style offices. Thanks very much!

I'm newer to KW and wondering where women go for a good quality hair cut (cut off the dead ends and the dry ends)? I have medium length hair but it's also quite fine, I try not to cut it more than 2/3 times a year as I'm trying to grow it longer and I use high quality products on it. Last place I went the stylist told me to come back in 5-6 months, but I think the place used dull scissors or something because within 2 weeks it looked like she hadn't cut anything off at all. The ends were more split than they were before she cut it, I swear my Ikea kitchen scissors could have done a better job and it was like $100😭

Hi all. We just got a preschool spot at YWCA St Paul’s. Does anyone have a kiddo there? What do you think of it? How’s the outside area? Our kiddo is already at a centre, but it’s really far.

Thanks!

EDIT - I was a bit paranoid about confidentiality and said it was for a female but my friend is a male.

A friend of mine needs help and finally attended an AA meeting after a lot of persuasion. She absolutely did not click with the group because it was extremely faith-based.

Does anyone have any suggestions for any groups that aren’t faith-based?

Thanks!

Hey all,

I have a badly overheating PS5 and I'm looking to have it serviced, ideally somewhere that can replace the thermal paste or whatever liquid metal shenanigans Sony has in there. Wondering if anyone has had experience with, or recommendations for a local electronics repair shop that would take on this task in a timely manner?

WFH human here, tired of staring at the same four walls, so I'm thinking of putting together a weekly Tuesday evening board game hangout at Games on Tap (open to other venue suggestions, that's just the one I've played at before).

No experience needed, but ideally you can make it most weeks. Hoping this turns into a regular thing, not a one-off.

I'm a beginner myself. The vibe is casual games and friendly humans, not competitive play. Experienced folks welcome too if you're patient and like teaching.

Drop a comment or DM me and I'll set up the first one. 🎲
