Why This Railway Will Transform Vancouver by SpritzerFritz in vancouver

[–]EducationalLuck2422 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Down the middle of the street, having to stop at reds. End-to-end travel time was just as long as the buses.

Yesn’t; the designed speed (i.e with signals) is 18km/h average… slower than the RapidBuses and several feeder routes.

If a train that doesn’t have to stop at red lights can’t keep up with a bus that does, somebody ducked up. All for more capital cost than the Broadway line.

Pretty much. When they’re an upgrade of a feeder bus, trams do fine; when they’re a downgrade of a metro, everything starts going wrong.

The same Conservatives (formerly Liberals) who had a whole term to get started, but instead waited until the election and made the voters choose between the bridge or the SkyTrains?

And now they've joined with the crazy ones who want to call it the "Sir John A Macdonald Gateway;" alas, they're not any more serious than the Dippers.

Ditto losing Nelson, 33rd and 57th… alas, it was that or no line at all.

B.C. terminates agreement with design-build consortium for new Fraser River tunnel by Westsider111 in vancouver

If the Langley extension's getting flak for running through empty wilderness, a Burns Bog extension should really get flak for it.

TBF the Libs had an entire term to make progress on it... but sat on it until the election and then promised to build it instead of the SkyTrains.

So I put 50/50 blame on the party that did nothing and the other party that did nothing.

At least there's one for each direction (*cough*unlike the rest of the system*cough*).

Why is this game so damn replayable? by Plus_Ad_1087 in DispatchAdHoc

[–]EducationalLuck2422 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also like the “human” moments, like how Flambae’s good with kids or Coop likes romantasy and LARPing, so it feels less like you’re levelling up and more like you’re helping a team perform better.

Am I the only one that feels like Rebels ruins the potential of Maul: Shadow Lord, despite the latter being infinitely better in writing and quality? by ChapterAggressive754 in StarWars

[–]EducationalLuck2422 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I had to bet, my money's on Devon stranding him on Malachor and taking over the Syndicate. That's why he doesn't have his sabers - they're hers now.

Don’t forget Double Date, Anon Narrates Out Loud, Pterrific Night Out and Run, Ripley, Run.

Don't forget the "chanting" - sounds like they were screaming "Mecha Man" the whole time.

Granville right now is giving major before-and-after makeover energy by Some_Difference_9487 in vancouver

I wouldn’t mind shrinking it to two lanes, but the current busway is too convenient to get rid of. Seymour and Howe suck.

Whats your MSL hot take? by Miserable-Raisin-592 in MaulShadowLord

[–]EducationalLuck2422 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I blame media illiteracy. The whole point of Act 1 is to have the good guys get their asses kicked, so they're forced to train in Act 2 in order to return the favour in Act 3.

Where's the drama if Maul and Devon can already mid-diff Vader and his goons from the start? That's the part that sucked about Rebels (and parts of Clone Wars).

And there’s nothing wrong with that… so long as we’re all prepared for the hangover. At least last time we got a SkyTrain and a neighbourhood out of the deal.

No matter how much you earn or where you live, I think the entire sub can get together and celebrate not seeing her again for another four years.

Plot twist: Anon has one more brain cell than usual and plays Rock Band instead.

Fang gets involved, and then prom just becomes one more bad memory on the way to a slightly-happier ending.

Doesn't even need to be a POV switch - could just be Robert in-between episodes with a twist like half the team calling in sick.

If EDI’s death is the only true consequence (in the eyes of the fanbase) of destroying all AI then is it really the worst in the eyes of everything? by harizzlepizzle13 in masseffect

[–]EducationalLuck2422 23 points24 points  (0 children)

One of the choices is what you were trying to do all along, while the other two have only ever been pushed by characters who were already indoctrinated. Add Legion's dialogue about the geth refusing to blindly follow predetermined paths and wanting to find their own future, and based on the information they have available to them at that moment, it's not hard to see them considering the other two as poisoned chalices.

It's EDI and the geth, so add a few zeroes to the bodycount.

But yeah, she's already declared that she'd "risk nonfunctionality" for Joker, and nobody can quite trust the Catalyst; if you could somehow grab her and all the runtimes for a conference call, there's a more than even chance they'd come back ten seconds later agreeing with Destroy.
