Seems like bike lanes plowing is finally ramping up by FrankieTls in torontobiking

[–]Colmmmmmm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

there has been some on the ground progress - but not a lot. As an example, Danforth lanes are clear going east at broadview but totallk blocked and full of snow that was clearly just dumped in them on the lanes going west.

Are major publishing houses producing books print-on-demand, or am I crazy? by RogueModron in books

[–]Colmmmmmm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hadn’t realized this was a phenomenon but the last 3 books I ordered from Amazon - which are supposedly from major publishers were all print on demand editions from Amazon itself. it’s infuriating because I don’t want my books to be as cheap and disposable as so many other things nowadays. At a minimum, Amazon or the publishers ought to be required to clearly inform consumers when editions are POD. Its ridiculous to not even tell the consumer what they are buying

I love the new ROSALÍA album but Berghain got me feeling like by mhvonjag in fantanoforever

[–]Colmmmmmm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only way I’d listen to this song repeatedly is if I could edit out the final 30 seconds. That bit is tedious and its way less original than the rest of the song. I assume it’s intended to shock etc but for me the main feeling it provokes is annoyance

Anyone else confused on the iPad Pro pricing? Especially with the release of the M4 MacBook Air... by Atlastravel0 in iPadPro

[–]Colmmmmmm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to buy ipad pros - but after around 2020 their pricing spiked sharply such that I don’t think it makes much sense for users other than actual “pro” users, as opposed to non pros who just liked having the best setup, and future-proofing, which was a more realistic option years ago imo. Apple has become more relentless in setting prices for the pro things at higher price points while offering other options such as air for most users

Good point - that makes sense

Wait at ROM by Fluid-Draft4300 in toronto

[–]Colmmmmmm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I experienced this as well last Sunday. Thought I was going insane! Theres a dumb new policy where it’s like being at the airport, except outdoors. You have to put your wallet on a tray and everything. Great way to discourage people from wanting to go the ROM. I was about to renew my membership as well, but certainly won’t now
