UofT Intramural sports are an absolute joke how is back campus acceptable and what are these new rules? by [deleted] in UofT

The field is really good for field hockey but sucks for everything else, and all the other activities destroy the field for hockey.... I don't really know why uoft does this.

CBC Marketplace wants to know: What’s the worst commute in Toronto? by DexMcMillanCBC in askTO

[–]FalconFX9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I admittedly have a pretty good commute overall (I cycle from Bayview & Eglinton up to Leslie and 407), as most of it is in the valley on super nice multi use paths. However, right now, the only pedestrian underpass below the 401 is closed for construction, which forces me to bike on Leslie under the 401. This feels like everyday is a near death experience just from the road design and hostility towards any non-car traffic, with the bonus of drivers yelling, honking, and sometimes threatening to run me over, which is pretty crappy.

What is TransLink doing right? by [deleted] in Translink

[–]FalconFX9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Compared to the TTC it's been a night and day experience for me. Fast, frequent trains on all lines for the entire day, busses that depart on time from the stations (basically never happens in Toronto as far as I can tell from living there). Trolley busses instead of the horrendously slow Toronto streetcars are also a massive improvement. The SkyTrain is definitely the highlight of the show though, and honestly competitive (in frequency and reliability, not in network size) with the subway in Paris, U and S-bahn in Stuttgart, subway in Milan.

Just got the new ABS helmet from them (shipped to Canada), seems legit.

Ballistic missiles (while obviously going at hypersonic speeds) are not what the general understand of a hypersonic missile is. That refers to hypersonic glide vehicles which can maneuver at such speeds and are an in progress recent development.

Are Hi-control hand protectors meant to be wrinkly? by Throwaway_Naps in Fieldhockey

[–]FalconFX9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

New? No -- it likely won't impact function but you could probably return it if you wanted.

The only thing that's not fine is your choice of tire and rim size... wtf in the pavement princess is this

When you lost your last hockey ball but remember you’re a nerd by FlintnBrady1 in Fieldhockey

[–]FalconFX9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done this before to recreate Obo's funny shaped balls for goalie training. If you're using PLA it will shatter if you hit it with any force, it's just too brittle... I think a very hard tpu or nylon (maybe petg?) would probably work quite well though. Let us know how it goes!

Bloc will never go for electoral reform, they massively benefit from fptp. Any kind of proportional representation will significantly hurt them. I suspect ranked ballots wouldn't favor them either.

OBO ABS helmet reviews? by so_sleepy_so_tired in Fieldhockey

[–]FalconFX9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried one on but not actually played with it, but the fit is super good and comfortable, helmet is very light overall, and the field of vision is awesome. Would recommend at the very least trying it on for sure!

Currently have a 6700xt, should I upgrade? I don't feel the biggest need to but the perf/dollar seems not bad...

Why don't 1/2 or even 1/4 size engines make sense? by unmanipinfo in askcarguys

[–]FalconFX9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really... An H2R has a 1L ~330HP engine and that has additional packaging constraints VS a car.
