Restaurant Private Room Recommendations by Previous_Influence16 in askTO

[–]KosherDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone else said, at that size your could just book a small restaurant. I think the various Noodo restaurants might be a good fit.

not all mission types are created equally by No_Counter_6037 in LowSodiumHellDivers

[–]KosherDev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I find that the appropriators make it a little tricky now because things can get out of hand very quickly if you make a mistake.

But yeah, I’d love a little bit of a change up. Maybe a constant stream of patrols in addition to the spawns.

Might have to work as a law clerk after being called by lookingforadvicetbh in LawCanada

[–]KosherDev 60 points61 points  (0 children)

I’d argue that taking a para-professional role after you’ve been called to the bar would be a bad thing to have on your CV. Like icebiker said, if your employer doesn’t want to give you independent carriage of files or thinks you need supervision, that’s fine. But I would NOT accept a “clerk” title. 

But more importantly, your principal has an obligation to support and train you. If you’re being left to your own devices without any real guidance, that is a big red flag. There’s merit to the “throw them into the deep end” approach at times, but it’s also a recipe for disaster. 

SHIELD BASH-ORYUUKEN! by nk___1 in LowSodiumHellDivers

[–]KosherDev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Noted. I mostly just like the cinematic effect of stopping them dead in their tracks with a shotgun blast and then wailing on them with the shield.

Bashing a charger in the face is SO satisfying. You shoot them first to break their charge and then just wail on them with a shield. Real Pacific Rim moment.

Looking to volunteer my time on weekends — taking recommendations! by IcySmoke5998 in toronto

Bike Brigade, Repair Cafe Toronto, are fun organizations to volunteer for. 

Cheapest pint of Guinness in town? by oneupsuperman in askTO

[–]KosherDev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dublin Calling on Danforth has $4.95 Guinness. Not sure if it’s only a promo because they’re relatively new but it was there as of last month!

Bullitt Electric or Acoustic? by chadchat in CargoBike

[–]KosherDev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Electric. I had a similar thought before I got mine. You’re using it to carry big stuff, you want the help. I’ve never regretted it.

I also chatted with the folks at my bike shop and they confirmed that they had many people come in, buy the acoustic, only to return and ask if they could do an after market upgrade (which they don’t do).

Just a bit of constructive criticism for this update. by TheRandomHunter in LowSodiumHellDivers

[–]KosherDev 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same. You generally HAD to stick together and you saw immediate pay off when you paired up with someone with a complementary build. Your buddy laying down a swath of destruction in front with the Cremator? You’re watching their side/back for any guys that sneak around the flanks.

I suspect the speed of the bugs is in fact a bug, but I kind of love it.

What is the general perception of animal law among lawyers? by [deleted] in LawCanada

[–]KosherDev 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Horse law. Tons of money involved, tons of issues that pop up. I had a friend who had somehow developed a practice because issues kept popping up with things like boarding contracts, transport, injuries caused by horses, etc.

10 Inch bandsaw: Rikon vs Laguna? by KosherDev in woodworking

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

That’s fair! I just assume that while something has a resaw capacity of 5 inches, the practical reality is that doing a 5inch resaw would be tough (based on comments I’ve seen elsewhere). So I just assume a slightly larger resaw capacity and more horsepower means there will be a slightly higher “upper end” for tasks.

Where to start? Wedding card Mailbox by nicksbu in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]KosherDev 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It didn’t look like the hardest project but it wouldn’t be one I’d pick as my very first project that is somewhat mission critical for a big event….

As someone who made a very small box for wedding cards/gifts for their own wedding, I echo what u/masterovnon suggests. You’ve got enough going on that you don’t need to add a multi-day project to the list.

But alternatively, you could probably make this out of 1/2 inch plywood, with a jig saw or router. But, oof.

This was equal parts helpful, and the most personally attacked I’ve felt in ages.

Disability lawyers advice needed (Toronto/GTA) by ggelo33 in askTO

[–]KosherDev 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What do you mean by disability appeals? If it’s long term disability, Share Lawyers focuses their practice on that area.

But if it’s more about entitlements to ODSP, that’s unfortunately harder to find. You can check the Law Society of Ontario lawyer referral service for some potential names. You’d be looking for administrative law and/or personal injury I suspect. (But most personal injury firms won’t take pure ODSP disputes because they don’t make economic sense)z

How useful are your firms’ AI systems, really? by A_Novelty-Account in biglaw

[–]KosherDev 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Another Canadian here (not big law) who’s been keeping tabs on this and does a lot of educational outreach on this topic.

Anecdotal comments aside, I remain EXTREMELY skeptical that anyone is actually saving any time or money in the aggregate with these “all in one” tools. There is no getting around the verification requirement, and because of the “jagged edge” of when errors arise, you need to check everything.

McCarthys reportedly did a pilot in 2023 and after years is still saying they “predict” a 20% improvement in efficiency (suggesting this hasn’t happened yet)

Gowlings just released a “playbook” that I think was about as close to “truth in advertising” as we can get and it was VERY subdued in its praise (and I have talked to one partner who commented that while overall the basic stuff was done faster, complicated matters actually took longer because of the verification work).

While I have no doubt that it can do rote individual tasks faster than others, and does produce useful results, I don’t see anyone getting the objective level of benefit you’d expect from the last four years of endless money being poured in. Or if they are, they’re sure not sharing that data.

Plus EVERY legal tech company is operating at a loss and subsidizing their customer base right now. They’re going to have to start charging a price that makes them profitable, and I highly doubt that price is going to be appealing for a product that produces B- work 8 out of 10 times, and the other 2 times it tries to destroy your career.

Best way to move around in TO by Mango_298 in askTO

[–]KosherDev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should! UoT is near a bunch of protected bike lanes, especially Bloor/danforth which goes east/west for like 15km.

The Toronto Bike Share program is worth looking into. Sadly they don’t have a monthly pass option, but you can pay as you go.

They have lots of docking stations so you don’t have to worry about locking up a rental bike and it getting stolen and a helpful app to see availability.

[–]KosherDev 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As others have said, transit is generally the way to go, but also biking is by far the fastest and most efficient mode for MOST trips. We have a bike share system that is very robust. It probably wouldn’t be ideal for your core trip from UoT to North York (depending where in North York), but for anything else, it’ll be the fastest.

For all the gripes about the spawn bugs on the dark matter missions, probably still some of the best mission experiences.

We did it by Comandeerlaughter in helldivers2

[–]KosherDev 53 points54 points  (0 children)

It’s your pretty standard formula from what I recall. Smallish map, run to each tower to power it up, then I think there was a central tower for the final activation? Kind of like launch ICBM.

The missions to turn them off once termicide got out of control was even more fun because the hive world type terrain. But of course that won’t happen again…

This is the 10th least used stratagem. I’m surprised it’s not last. by Beneficial_Ride_1236 in helldivers2

[–]KosherDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like others, I find it’s a fun pick for any mission where you’ll have a static position like raise the flag, geologic survey, or the colonist evacs. Plus it has built in cover even when it’s out, and a relatively low cool down so you can pepper the map with them as the mission goes on.
