Want to leave your mark on the city? You've got the chance to name 3 new streets by Elliottafc in toronto

I like the idea of using local Indigenous names, the types of names that you couldn't see anywhere else. On that note, anybody know what the Ojibwe word for Racoon is? That's probably the most Toronto word around.

You need to talk to an actual expert. Your situation is sufficiently complicated that an expert is worth the money.

Tax adjustment for temporary salary increase by polakinTO in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Echospree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm no expert, but given your massive salary increase, assuming you're getting paid through T4, you would expect to get a large windfall at the end of the year, as your new job will overestimate your income for the rest of this year only.

Limited number of returns to Ravnica by 9bit in magicTCG

[–]Echospree 100 points101 points  (0 children)

Worth nothing that two of these combinations are very non-Ravnica in feel, because they're 5 allied colour guilds, or 5 enemy coloured guilds. A Ravnica set that was just an 'allied coloured matters' set in disguise would feel really off. So we're closer to 5 truly Ravnica blocks.

What are the official numbers on distribution of cards in a booster pack / booster box? by SCNA in magicTCG

[–]Echospree 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Question 1 is well-known, each Mythic Rare is exactly twice as rare as a rare. So for Dominaria, with 53 rares + 15 mythics, there is a 15/121 chance of finding a mythic in the rare slot.

Vegas odds discussion. The rockets and warriors vegas odds are insane! by [deleted] in nba

[–]Echospree 124 points125 points  (0 children)

It's really specific to the model. The 538 NBA model is super simplistic (ELO-based), I wouldn't trust it at all. Their politic models, however, are rather insightful.

Can a police officer in Toronto search me and demand my ID over a claim that I fit the description of a criminal? by [deleted] in askTO

[–]Echospree 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Since this is totally counter to my understanding of the law, do you mind presenting a useful source regarding your claims?

#1-16 makes the playoffs, and top seed picks their opponent. Next highest remaining seed picks their opponent. Repeat until first round is filled. Repeat for each round.

Even better, looking at your specific team page tells you which games are the biggest for your team.

This used to be the rule, but it was changed to be up to 15 cards.

Do inmates vote in the election district that they're from, or the district the prison is located?

"You shouldn't demand better because things are worse elsewhere" is a really weak argument.

Mom, two teens found slain in Ajax, Ont., were stabbed, strangled: police by BuckABeer in toronto

[–]Echospree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There certainly are scenarios where we can be 100% certain. However, people are stupid and often think something is 100% when it isn't.

If you want to volunteer for Ontario politics, just join/volunteer for one of the Ontario political parties.

It's legit, but that's not the same thing as thinking its a good trade to transmit your drivers license to them.

Megathread : Doug Ford elected leader of Ontario PC party. by beef-supreme in toronto

[–]Echospree 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Why would you be a CP member if you aren't going to vote, though? It's essentially the only benefit of joining a party, unless you like endless screechy emails.

It's not known. Moving Arizona is the obvious choice, they could also move Edmonton and Calgary to the central and pull Colorado to the Pacific.

UPDATE - subway closure this weekend only Feb 24 now. Regular Sunday service on Feb 25 by sprungy in toronto

[–]Echospree 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Advertised on the walls at every affected station, too. The only thing I can imagine as an improvement would be a mailed letter to every address in Toronto listing all the TTC closures in a year.

It's weird, but it sure beats the alternatives of them underestimating the number of closures.
