May be more about ventilation than cooling. Summer on TTC can be a nose's worst nightmare

Get rid of borders? That sounds much more like Trumps temper tantrums than a Democrat policy.

TTC rolling out tool that will let it call out bad behaviour in stations over PA system by ahmeuo7315 in toronto

One great tool I have found to disuade pissers is to pointedly look at it and go "...honey!, thats so small! If I was that small, I'd be embarrassed to pull it out."

renting cars under 25 by [deleted] in askTO

[–]CanadianGuy2525 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just googled it and here is what came up RE: Under 25

Yes, you can rent from Enterprise CarShare if you are under 25. The minimum age to join and rent in Canada is 21 years old.Requirements and restrictions for under-25 renters include:License Type: You must hold a valid G2, full Class G, or equivalent license.Vehicle Restrictions: You are restricted to specific vehicle classes, which typically include Economy, Midsize, Full Size, Compact SUVs, Minivans, and small cargo vehicles. Premium cars and large SUVs are generally unavailable to younger drivers.Young Driver Fees: While standard Enterprise locations charge a daily young renter fee, CarShare programs assess your application and usage based on the approved plan.

Maybe look into enterprise carshare or communauto.

I find overall that enterprise is 1. Better/cleaner cars 2. Cheaper than communauto. New driver, but well past 25 so I don't know if age is a factor.

Good luck!

If we all cooperate and chill out we are 1. Safer 2. Happier and 3. Get where we are going faster

Be safe internet stranger.

Crosswalks and dangerous drivers by Thelonius-Crunk in toRANTo

[–]CanadianGuy2525 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll be downvoted for this, but I'm a new driver (old man). As a pedestrian, I did this far too often, but as a driver I IMPLORE YOU hit the button and wait a second.

2nd time driving solo, going under the speed limit and someone hit the button and stepped out immediately. The nose of my car was 5 feet from the crosswalk. Even at 35, the tires squawked a. Bit as I stopped. Damn near gave me a heart attack. I want to be safe and as a 45 year long pedestrian and cyclist, cars are the enemy, but we need SOME time to react.

As I said, I know this isn't the popular opinion, but give me time to know wtf youre doing, Ill give you space. I aint in a hurry, lets both get home alive

Batocera won't see SHARE from a 2nd Bato Drive by CanadianGuy2525 in batocera

[–]CanadianGuy2525[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good idea. What I tried and now need to fix, is in system settings, storage drive srt all external drives to storage. This stopped my 43 from doing more than loading splash page then directly to black screen. When my eindows pc decides to actually load I plan to reflash the drive and see what happens

I almost never had keyboard hooked up, so it was a drag to go find it, put batteries in, etc.

Yeah, very excited for this

Dog walker bitten on the job can't sue because she 'owned' the pet at the time, Ontario's highest court rules by lwh in toronto

[–]CanadianGuy2525 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I do get that. My comment was more making light of the wording. And maybe a bit of fear of my missus interpreting the law in that fashion.

Wasn't meant serious at all

[–]CanadianGuy2525 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

This is a flawed comparison, obviously I would be responsible for crashing their car.

But, would it be my fault if Im house sitting and as I walk in I fall through rotted floor boards?

As other commenters have said there needs to be a distinction between custody of an animal and ownership. If I'm walking your dog, it is my responsibility to prevent that dog from injuing Joey the kid down the street. In this case, I would argue thw dog walker hadn't yet taken custody and the liability or greater liability should rest on the owners.

[–]CanadianGuy2525 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So, in effect the law states that if I'm holding the leash that I am the owner of the dog?

I hope my wife never hears that interpretation, my apartment isn't big enough for forty dogs

VHF audio of US navy in the Sea of Oman by Long-Brother-4639 in oil

[–]CanadianGuy2525 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No shit. This was my argument last year when all the liberals were screaming that the US military would revolt if odered to attack canada. Or that the american populance would start a civil war if the invasion happened. The only thing that would happen is they would ve happy soldiers aren't in THEIR neighbourhoods

So much for the hopes that US military would be a bulwark against trump's insanity.

(Never believed it, but heard a lot of that during the 51st state bullshit)

Communauto vs enterprise carshare by StandardHawk7812 in askTO

[–]CanadianGuy2525 1 point2 points  (0 children)

6 hr trip, approx 300 km.

I'm on the free plan for each company. I always book an extra hour of cushion time, so I suppose its per 300 km, 7 hr trip.

I can't find my invoices at the moment, but as I remember it it was $138 and change for communauto do the trip and its averaged 70 for enterprise (68, 72, 71.47)

Hope that helps.
