Regina

1ft diameter ones and like 7 inch diameter ones. There might be some random 5 in diameter one left.

I recently grabbed a bite at the Quán Ngon location on Victoria Avenue. The food was prepared extremely fast, which was great since I was on a tight schedule. The prices are fair and won't break the bank. I also really appreciated that they offer free Wi-Fi, making it a convenient spot to get some things done while you eat. Overall, it’s a solid, reliable option.

• prices are okay
• free Wi-Fi
• the food was prepared extremely fast

Without explaining more what food swapping is yet, would anyone be interested in doing food swaps?

It's on 2631 dewdney ave.

Iirc, the price for onions is 0.87 / ibs. Bought that onion, got charged 0.78. On the receipt I was billed for "1 peaches". I brought it up with the worker and he said they don't have onion in the cash register system. He paused for a moment, went over and grabbed those 2 pears and gave them to me for free and said something like sorry.

I don't have a scale, but i had gemini estimate the weight of the onion and it said 0.44 pounds +- 0.15 pounds. Water bottle cap for scale.

I just took a closer look at it today. It's lovely

I'm planning to put up some posters around the city, it'll take me a while to get around to making it and everything unless gemini can just generate one for me.

Any one wanna whip up a poster real quick? Prob good if it has at minimum:

Would be better if it's black and white bc I'd just be using 10 pages per month of free [black and white] printing at the library, bc I'm poor.

I know other websites keep track of bed bug infestations across cities, but I don't use those websites. And they're prob worse for privacy and Foss than lemmy. So heres a lemmy Regina thread for this!

Name | address | date you confirmed | notes if applicable

Porter place | 1610 Angus st | 3 June 2026 | saw them myself, worse I've ever seen, on a basket lying next to the buiding on the lawn

I'm looking to meet and connect with people in the city. If you'd like to get together for a coffee or chat, please reach out and send me a message or post here.

I'm tempted to just post my phone number here directly, but I guess shoot me a message \ post here first.

Ive past by a tilley store on Albert St. I checked gemini, Google, yellow pages and tilley's online store, and no info on phone number.

Anyone know their phone number or any info on them?

650 rent in a 2 bdrm. I'm looking at a place near the uni.

Not that many people use Regina lemmy, but hey worth a shot!

Of the video persuasion, specifically. There are quite a few groups to be found online, but I'm not so much of a board/fighting game guy. Something online, infrequent, and low-commitment would be ideal for me personally

If people come to Winnipeg, I usually recommend the Winnipeg-unique foods: the Winnipeg style light fluffy Rye bread; honey dill sauce with chicken fingers; etc.

Is there anything that people in Regina eat that no one else does?

Or are there restaurants that only people from Regina would consider?

In Winnipeg, there's a chain called Salisbury House which isn't particularly good, but it pretty much only exists in this market and is "locally famous". This is the sort of thing I'm looking for :)
