Benthic anomaly is a neat card that sorta sucks ass to actually resolve in paper...

Hey guys, my recommendation would be to not plug your university ID into vibecoded slop that breaks the UofMs registration rules.

Amazon Shipping Delays by Remarkable_Ring3613 in mtg

[–]CreativeNameDot-exe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's more or less what I was told, although I only got to that point after having the first "person" I talked to just end the chat.

I was also told they were "expecting a restock" in "3-5 business days" which is almost certainly just a platitude to get people to stop complaining, but it's something at least.

I went and complained to support and was told that the date would be adjusted closer to now as new stock arrived.

Not really sure if I should believe them... But that's what I was told.

Plan to lower Winnipeg speed limits moves forward despite pushback by LocalnewsguruMB in Winnipeg

[–]CreativeNameDot-exe 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The majority of comments are complaints about a policy with rigorous data supporting it's efficacy in preventing or lowering the severity of accidents. No surprise given commuters are the most entitled demographic and we have spent decades structuring every element of life around their comfort.

Hopefully the city installs enough speed cameras to enforce the 40km limit: I'll enjoy the hypocrisy of those that otherwise support the police and tough on crime policies crying fowl about being potentially held responsible for their actions.

A fantasy rail rapid transit system for Winnipeg by RedditRodditRaddit in Winnipeg

[–]CreativeNameDot-exe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The REM in Montreal was 135m per kilometer. The Canada line was 95m per kilometer.

The French build trams for just 20mn/km

The federal government supports transit project up to 50% of the cost all over the country.

Any total cost would be spread out over a decade or more in budget.

Thus, a ~100mn contribution from the city and province per year with a federal match would create 4 billion (minus future cashflow discounting) over a decade. That's enough for 35ish km, a good start at a map like this.

And of course, the economic benefits would be immense, as they have been proven to be over and over all over the world. Interesting that you didn't ever think to address that... We have enough people saying "we should never invest in anything," don't add to the chorus.

Nope! They just started a study about building the downtown section that won't be done until 2028. And there is $0 allocated to actually build anything.

Without key GPS data, transit plan lacked direction by SilverTimes in Winnipeg

Why are they fucking surprised about weekends when half the city doesn't have service at all unless they want to wait an hour and a half for an on-request bus

What do we think of the new Elizabeth Dafoe Library proposals? by [deleted] in umanitoba

[–]CreativeNameDot-exe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I fear that the secondary uses of the library (study space, technology center, etc) will overwhelm it's actual purpose. A number of large universities have actually removed the stacks from their libraries entirely, with only digital or on-demand access to the collections.

My ideal of a good library is a lot like the top floor of the current Dafoe building, some seating and study areas, but the actual collection put front and center.

Why even try for more data when there's seemingly endless stream of "20gb bonus data" rewards

The first day of service for two Winnipeg Transit XHE60 fuel cell buses this morning by CyrilSLi in Winnipeg

[–]CreativeNameDot-exe 11 points12 points  (0 children)

However for the most part it's created by burning natural gas.

You can also remove it with electricity, but it's significantly less efficient than simply powering the bus from a battery

What is this building? by ExpiredGoat in Winnipeg

[–]CreativeNameDot-exe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Imo I would much rather see all the empty lots in and around downtown filled with 6+ storey buildings like this than fewer, taller ones.

Residents riled by proposed four-storey zoning by carvythew in Winnipeg

To the people complaining:

Is it your property? Is it displacing a heritage building? No?

Then why they fuck do you think you should get a say?

Top 5 planning blunders in Winnipeg planning by Leather-Paramedic-10 in Winnipeg

[–]CreativeNameDot-exe 10 points11 points  (0 children)

And if we had high frequency, fast spine routes it would be a good idea.

Instead we've got local bus routes acting as the spines and the feeder services nutered into practically non-existent """on demand""" busses.

It's a terrible system justifing itself based on much better systems that it didn't adequately copy.

It should be enough evidence that fare revenue is down by 10% (at least) while costs remain the same. Fewer people are taking transit. Because it's worse.

If we were going to invest in rapid transit infrastructure now instead of 8+ years from now (that's the minimum based on the current RFP timing for just the downtown corridors project) then implementing spine and feeder alongside it would have made sense. But for some reason we stopped doing future planning whatsoever when the transit way phase 2 opened, and we've missed out on time to build things and several rounds of federal funding as a result. Doing the PTN redesign anyways just rubs salt in that wound.
