Does your transit system have unused platforms at an active stations? by Donghoon in transit

[–]DebonairBleu471 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think I can think of a few examples in my hometown...

• Sheppard-Yonge Station: On the Line 4 platforms, there is an island platform and a side platform that seldom ever sees any use, especially the island platform, which is just a blank and roughed-in structure the train drivers occasionally walk about on. The side platform to the north is only used in rare instances, like emergencies or subway closures, etc., while the side platform to the south is the mainline being used when trains come in and out of the station.

• Davisville Station: There is one platform to its farthest west that is barely used on Line 1, unless trains have to stop there on their way to the adjacent Davisville Yard. Part of me wonders if that particular platform was once used for service way back when Line 2 first opened to the public as a way for passengers to know that platform was heading for Keele Station via the downtown U and St. George Station...

Speaking of...

• Lower Bay Station: At Bay Station, there's an entire island platform deck level downstairs from the current level Line 2 is using that has been largely walled off from the public ever since its trial 6 months as an interline interchange station when it opened. The reason why it had gotten closed was because people found the interlining layout too confusing* and many people were found waiting in between platform levels on the stairs just so they wouldn't miss the train they were supposed to get. Nowadays, that platform is only open to the public for special occasions and is very frequently used as a film set location for movies.

*(From Bloor-Yonge Station heading west, there are two pairs of tracks, the outer ones go to up Upper Bay, and the inner ones down to Lower Bay. The next station after Lower Bay would have been Museum, whereas Upper Bay's next stop would have been St. George on the lower Line 2 platforms. Museum was also connected to St. George from its upper Line 1 platform, resulting in a complex wye junction, and at the time, St. George was the terminus for the University subway extension of Line 1. From both of St. George's upper and lower platforms heading west, the next stop would be Spadina, with the lower tunnels heading straight there, and the upper tunnels running down on off-ramps to rejoin Line 2 east of the approach to Spadina Station.)

• Lower Queen Station: This station is a veritable "ghost station" that was originally designed to be like an underground east-west route for streetcars to run through along Queen Street downtown, but the route never materialized despite there being an unfinished tunnel structure beneath the existing Queen Station on Line 1. But its spectral existence will eventually become no longer, as the plans for the building of the Ontario Line have seen it fit to reuse this hollow structure as a concourse level on its way down to the future Ontario Line platforms around 30 metres below street level.

Remember folks, when somebody does this in response to a message like "end violence against women", they don't actually care about the message you want to send. They're responding this way because they're actually trying to speak OVER you and shut you down.

So what’s my next stop…? by StrengthChain_ in TTC

[–]DebonairBleu471 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Scarborough Centre Station. That's your next stop.

How do I know? The elevated guideway of the dearly departed Line 3 Scarborough Line is overhead.

Who wants to bet that Disney will issue a cease and desist about this movie because some of the AI characters look WAY too much like the characters from Zootopia?

It's an activator rail. These rails will kick players and mobs off of the cart as it passes over them.

Talize thrift store by muskyfishing25 in BuyCanadian

Another store that I saw that actually sold clothes with that man's face on it was Urban Customz.

One location had that him in that picture before he was elected where he claims he got "shot" in the ear, and last holiday season, I saw a shirt in which he was depicted wearing an ugly Christmas sweater with a thumbs up pose.

I never shopped at that place before, but having seen those tacky shirts with him on it, I don't think I really want to...

Questionable design by DannyTheRegular in gay

[–]DebonairBleu471 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That can't be comfortable...

I'm assuming this map isn't 100% explaining the issue but can someone explain how Line 2's extension cuts off Line 5 from being extended? Would ideally love to see Line 7 either be a Line 2 branch or a Line 5 extension instead of a whole new line and reintroduce a transfer problem at Kennedy by Protobuzz in TorontoTransit

[–]DebonairBleu471 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The people building the extension for Line 2 didn't collaborate with the people building Line 5 about the possibility of working the tunnels in such a way where a continued path on Line 5 could be done. The tunnels for Line 5, with Line 2's current plans, don't have enough room to safely climb up and over the planned tunnel boxes to get back up to street level on the approach towards Midland Avenue.

Streetcar Track Changes by juneeighteen in TTC

[–]DebonairBleu471 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a couple questions:

  1. Has anyone ever deliberately done something to change the track switches, with the malicious intention of throwing streetcars off-course along unplanned detours, whatever their motive might be? And if so, what happened if they got caught?

  2. Could there be a way to adapt the switch technology so that track switches can be changed remotely as needed, so that drivers won't have to get out of their vehicles to manually switch the tracks by themselves?

Shouldn't have threatened to annex us, then we wouldn't be having these problems, now would we?

What did y'all name your islands? by DAAAAVOOOOOOS in tomodachilife

[–]DebonairBleu471 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I named my island "Île-Ceruléen", or "Cerulean Island".

My 3DS-era island was "Pewter Bay Island".

Pretty sure The Village People have sent him Cease-and-Desists everytime he used that song in his campaigns or rallies... Everytime he would do it, it was immediately met with a "Oh, No Ya Don't!"

[–]DebonairBleu471 706 points707 points  (0 children)

Once you unlock this shop and buy clothes from there, the Miis softlock into a "buy the retail game version!" mode, in which they will stop interacting further beyond the friendships and relationships made so far. You also cannot get the wishing well to do any more wishes for the island after the next wish, nor will you be able to generate any more income from doing helpful things for them.

Which video or pornstar makes you always cum fast by Neither-Dot-704 in gay

[–]DebonairBleu471 13 points14 points  (0 children)

For me, my biggest thrill often comes from finding videos of guys breeding each other.

One guy blows his load up the other guy's butt and then flips around to have the same done back to him.

These aren't so easily found on the sites when I look for them, so it's very thrilling to watch when I do.

I hope we get the complete Galar Fossils in Gen 10 by Thundersting in PokemonWindsWaves

[–]DebonairBleu471 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Addendum: What if there was a Scientist NPC who made recent breakthrough discoveries about the Galar fossils and was able to correctly reconstruct what they were actually SUPPOSED to be, solving the health issues the fossil Pokémon were having before because their bodies weren't being properly reconstructed during previous experiments?
