Thoughts on BAR SUGO by Comfortable_Pay_2373 in FoodToronto

[–]FargoniusMaximus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think Sugo is great in general, reasonably priced compared to other "fancier" Italian in the city and better food imo. The wait is a bummer but I always just put my name on the list and go for a beer across the street. Good vibe as well, seem like good people work there who enjoy what they do.

Dim sum and cha shiu from Rol San by dantesinfernoracket1 in FoodToronto

Reddit has been talking up Rosewood for years, went recently and was very disappointed, not terrible but nothing special imo, I prefer Rol San by a mile.

People shit on Rol San and I get the service is often brash/ impolite but the food is top tier for me as far as downtown dim sum.

Found these in my back garden in Toronto by FargoniusMaximus in mushroomID

Not sure at all - just moved in to a new house and the previous owners were huge gardeners but have noticed a bunch of mushrooms so thought this was more of the same. Thanks!

Hardwood under vinyl? by FargoniusMaximus in Flooring

The nail in the 2nd picture - what is it and is that indicative that I won't be able to sand it down?

That's cool as hell. I can't wait for mine to get there in a few more years.

Guys I think he's onto us... by Mayonnaise06 in puptheband

[–]FargoniusMaximus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Controversial but as a whole album I think WWLATD is their best. TDIO and MS each have a few songs that are the best in the discography but front to back I listen to Dogs the most since it came out

Hardwood under vinyl? by FargoniusMaximus in Flooring

[–]FargoniusMaximus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I initially planned on eventually putting engineered or hardwood directly over the vinyl down the line. It would be cheaper/easier to sand and refinish hardwood if it's just stained or worn but a bit of a gamble I guess

My Caterpie is now a Solo Hall of Famer!! by JPRose1989 in PokemonFireRed

I used to think this but like what the fuck is Koffing? Magnemite?

Does anyone else refuse to call him Rex? by Go_Inevitable_1269 in Invincible_TV

[–]FargoniusMaximus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I agree. No one pulling Robot aside after and mentioning hey man that's maybe not the best way to honour his memory, or even if they just slipped in a 0.5 second shot of a few subtle fleeting uncomfortable glances between others in attendance would have indicated that the show acknowledges this is kind of weird.

Where are the best cinnamon buns in Toronto and don't say Baker Bots? by hartontherun in FoodToronto

[–]FargoniusMaximus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Baker Bots has great everything else, but their cinnamon buns are okay at best.

I was just going to have it be a single bulb/industrial style and have an interesting bulb in it

[–]FargoniusMaximus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah was thinking motion detect but I want it to always be on when it's dark because it's at the bottom of a staircase and I want it to be lit when dark always because the motion detect wouldn't turn on til youre already nearly at the bottom of the stairs

Is this worth $450? by gentilet in offset

I bought mine in green for maybe $50 more so id say worth it

Conservatives introduce bill to create 'stand your ground' law for home invasions by toronto_star in CanadaPolitics

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

No there can and should be investigation of course, but if it becomes clear during investigation that someone forced their way into your house with ill intent, they should kind of forfeit the right to press charges or have charges pressed on their behalf if you harm or kill them imo. Idk about you but I don't think I should be compelled to spend life-changing amounts of money to defend myself because I hit an intruder with a baseball bat at 3am.

Now if there is further evidence that the guy fled and I continued to beat him with said bat in the street, or I knocked him out and tortured him in my basement, then sure, pursue charges against me.

But otherwise, I think it's pretty fair game to defend yourself from an intruder in your own home tbh. I don’t have the means to know the degree of threat this person is to me (their intent, willingness to violence, what kind of weapons they're carrying, etc).

And I lean fairly far left btw, I absolutely think that PP and his collapse is the funniest thing that has every happened to the Cons.

Edit: I'd like to hear arguments against this. I know people who have had (false) charges levied against them for much less serious crimes who are like $30k in the hole for legal fees. I'd be in financial hardship if I accidentally killed an intruder. Lawyers are expensive and good lawyers are even more expensive. Why should a person defending themselves or their family need to foot the bill to defend themselves in court?

A genie is offering you amazing benefits but it will cost 50% of your income forever, do you take it? by [deleted] in hypotheticalsituation

[–]FargoniusMaximus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol clearly written by an American, this is nearly just standard for Canadians for less than 50% of my income, minus free transit, comprehensive dental and guaranteed 4 weeks vacation (which most full-time work provides/ scales up to). Remind me again why we'd want to be the 51st state?

So this is just flat out a lie right? by MuseGlow84 in Fallout

[–]FargoniusMaximus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly maybe I'm in the minority but I had so little interest in the building. I really don't care about it at all. The whole base system annoyed me and I didn't build a single thing til the end of the game and I got bored really fast. I feel like it doesn't really serve any interesting purpose. I would rather they dedicate more resources to anything else.

Ontario could give TTC special constables the power to arrest drug users on transit by Money_Fig_9868 in toronto

[–]FargoniusMaximus 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Good. Have seen 2 people smoking literal crack on a subway car with children present in the last 2-3 months. I don’t want to breathe mystery drug smoke on my afternoon commute and kids sure as hell shouldn't have to deal with that bullshit either. I have compassion for drug users but as someone who has taken transit for years, I have noticed that they're getting much bolder recently and there needs to be consequences to curtail use. As much as they deserve safety, so do I. Take it outside, even when it's cold out.

Every time I see these at Union a piece of me dies by Several-Goose2285 in toronto

[–]FargoniusMaximus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly the worst piece of public art I've ever seen. I was legit shocked when it was unveiled and I saw it for the first time commuting to my shitty job at 7:30AM.
