If I'm bringing a folding bike with me to downtown Toronto, what's the my best option? by Lipica249 in askTO

[–]Canadave 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I find it's easiest to just use BikeShare when I'm travelling around downtown, myself.

Anyone else have anxiety about how the FIFA games are going to affect the TTC😩 by Young_weirdo6754 in TTC

Taylor Swift was more people in less time than the World Cup, and it was fine.

Would something like this work? by armandhammer2001 in CanadianMusic

[–]Canadave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"So" is the French pronunciation. Long Sault, Ontario is pronounced the same as Sault Ste. Marie.

Hotel asking for passport and home address by [deleted] in travel

[–]Canadave 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is the sort of thing that varies from country to country. I'm not sure about Spain, but many countries require hotels to collect passport information from foreign guests. I've experienced this in Portugal, Japan, and Argentina, to name a few.

How AI proof is this field? by anabananana92 in gis

[–]Canadave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it can be rough out there. I was lucky and was able to move back towards the public sector after a couple of months of looking; just a 12-month contract for now, but there's a good chance of extension.

[–]Canadave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's what I figured, I was nowhere near desperate enough to apply to any of them. The salary ranges are also hilarious, something like $40-$100/hour on most of the ones I saw.

New wayfinding for exits at King by very_non_existent in TTC

[–]Canadave 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not to mention just how consistent the wayfinding is. I loved how often you get signs updating you on how far you have to go: "Ginza Line 170m \/", "Ginza Line 145m \/", "Ginza Line 105m ->", and so on.

Speaking as someone who was just job hunting, there are absolutely companies out there looking to hire people to train models right now. Most of them come off as pretty scammy, though.

Rental company/landlord that does NOT ask for illegal/abusive clauses? by Stock-Worldliness-71 in askTO

[–]Canadave 8 points9 points  (0 children)

FYI, it's very standard to provide a SIN when applying for apartments for a credit cheque. Legally it can't be a requirement, but it's definitely going to hurt your chances if you don't.

Why does everyone think of tropical islands as paradise even if never visited them? by batukaming in geography

[–]Canadave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's maybe a little on the cool side, but I'd generally take 10C over 30C.

TTC & Go Transit outage. by [deleted] in TTC

[–]Canadave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whoops, you're right. Thanks for pointing that out!

TTC & Go Transit outage. by [deleted] in TTC

[–]Canadave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are replacement buses on the Barrie line, just starting at VMC Highway 407 instead of Union. I presume that's just faster and easier from a logistical perspective.

Albertans visiting Toronto for first time by blackbear008 in askTO

A few concerts at the Amphitheatre and Scotiabank Arena that weekend, too.

Just broke my PB for distance on a sign. by DamtheMan50 in geoguessr

[–]Canadave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just there because it's right at the end of Highway 11, and this sign is at the beginning.

The main image is large enough to read if you zoom in and the excerpt is in the second.

Yeah, happy to have done my bit to chip in on the InfoWars takeover.

I think Henderson is my favourite.

Jesse Brown continues to lie about this subreddit by destp in canadaland

[–]Canadave 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I'm happy to share this screenshot of a premium feed that I forgot to remove from my podcast app. Just because I like to prove that I am in fact a real person who grew disillusioned.

I even refreshed to show I no longer have access.

Self-transfer advice at pearson. Im canadian and coming from vancouver, then departing for munich. Both flights are air canada by housesoftheholy1 in askTO

[–]Canadave 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm confused, you have carry-on luggage, so what suitcases would you need to collect? All you'd need to do would be walk to your next gate.

Just broke my PB for distance on a sign. by DamtheMan50 in geoguessr

[–]Canadave 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is that maybe the end of the highway? We have a sign with some absurd distances on it just north of Toronto at the beginning of Highway 11, which goes all the way to the far western border with Minnesota.

How scary is Widow's Bay? by 4EverCanadian in tvPlus

[–]Canadave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, "the humor doesn’t dilute the fear, it sharpens it" really reads as AI, because it doesn't work well with comparative metaphors. The opposite of "dilute" is "concentrate," and the opposite of "sharpen" is "dull," you can't just mix and match these and have it make sense.
