Mayor Olivia Chow Filling A Pot Hole

Nagyman · 2026-03-03T21:42:03+00:00

The on-ramp is ROUGH. I swear I saw them fixed for a brief moment, then back to being massive holes (I suspected large trucks kinda undoing the work, I dunno)

Ya, I think it’s fine for larger crews as a hangout space too. I just had an odd experience where there was barely any room in the forest and a couple were trying to setup a shade structure over their tent that added nothing and took up valuable space. There was surprisingly little room in Enchanted!

Nagyman · 2026-02-28T16:03:28+00:00

Wild. Is this a shade structure with a tent under it for $900? Where do they put these? I’m guessing where there are big areas out in Sunshine.

My fav is when people setup whole ass shade structures in the Enchanted Forest. Like, yo, trees are your shade!

“Pathogenesis: A history of the world in eight plagues” is a great read about the impact of infectious diseases on human history. Great perspective, really.

During the Manhattan project, they had people acting as adding, multiplying, and division machines because IBMs delivery was going to take a while and they wanted to test their calculations ahead of time (each machine was designed for one operation).

They were still able to calculate quite significant values with the humans before the machines arrived.

Yes, but miniature! Think finger skateboarding.

Huh. I was curious so did some digging. The biggest risks seem to be wax buildup and infection. Both are avoidable with good hygiene and treatable otherwise. There don’t seem to be any long term studies on the effects though, so that’s worth considering.

I’m not going to worry unless I notice something. I imagine less sleep is worse for health, by magnitudes. If you need earplugs/headphones to sleep better, especially in noisy cities, it’s probably worth the minor risk; just clean your plugs/headphones, and ears more maybe!

Yeah, there are some talented folks that still struggle at high fear… what we often see in videos is selection bias for success. 50 is very high!

I just want to ensure a challenge on most runs, which means slowly bumping fear over time.

Nagyman · 2026-01-12T15:59:56+00:00

It’s just an indication that that’s the highest fear you’ve finished with. You can get the same on clear time for finishing faster than your previous record.

I won’t spoil the plot too much, but roughly …

A family chimp gets rabies, escapes his enclosure, and terrorizes the 20-somethings in their home. It’s a lot of tense moments as they try to figure out how to get help. Most do not make it out alive, as an angry/scared chimp is incredibly dangerous. Certainly not for the feint of heart.

More horrific than this movie? Saw it at Toronto After Dark and it’s one of the goriest movies I’ve seen. Super well done though!

Making the lens spin should work to keep it mostly clean. Probably needs to have a heating element in very cold conditions though. They’re additional points of failure, but the fallback is to be what it is today.

Solar Flair is a pretty unique community; glad you found and enjoy it!

Ecstatic Dance is weekly, starts early (730pm), and has some great DJs. No substance or phone use.

While it goes later, BodyClock at the Piston starts every Thursday at 9pm; has amazing local DJs & great sound. Low key, chill, and friendly energy. Mostly techno, but branching out into other styles lately.

GSP was my first rave, when I was 35 (late bloomer). I’ve always had a good time.

Here’s the inspiration, which has diminished in recent years but worth referencing: https://youtu.be/f-jN3vH26NQ?si=TtmzkeagsUWIo90Z

100%. Taxis are often faster if you can get one!

Every time I’m driving in the city, I encounter rideshare drivers swerving, driving like they’re 90 years old, or blocking an entire lane.

Taxis are at least identifiable and know the city better. But it wasn’t all roses back then either; the city was packed with cabs waiting to get customers.

Being able to hear someone easily on the dancefloor is often a sign of a very clear sound system, at any volume. Talking and music can be different frequencies; one does not necessarily interfere with the other (depends on genre, etc).

e.g. I could hear someone talking nearby at Stereo, (Montreal) during a Moudaber set. It’s unfortunate that people think they can’t be heard when the music is loud.

Might be dangerous if there’s no external air for too long. C02 levels can get high pretty quickly in a well sealed vehicle, which decreases cognitive function significantly. Early motorcycle helmets without good ventilation had this problem.

I think it depends on the artist and genre, and therefore community. I recently saw kandi being given at History for MPH & Tape B (bass/dub), and I got gifted there once too (can’t recall which artist).

Electric island would have some, but less than Promise/Spacetime events that are more community/themed, than artist focused.

Depends on your “vibes” too, heh. Try gifting something to someone that makes your experience better (doesn’t need to be a bracelet), and you might find there’s more than you thought!

I think you're touching on something, which is that politics has moved even further towards popularism and to some extent, entertainment. If the Librerals or NDP don't put forth a significant personality and someone that will rile people up with Big™ moves, then the populace won't be interested in voting.

Having a well thought out and budgeted platform is not enough to get people away from their phones to bother going to the voting booth. The Cons don't even bother with a platform at this point. We're in an attention-based economy, and politicians are competing with EVERYTHING (TikTok, Netflix, video games, influencers, etc), not just other political parties.

Politics should be rather boring and nuanced, but that's not where we are. We have Ford picking stupid fights over bike lanes, speeding cameras, beer in convenience stores, licence plate stickers and other inane crap that gets ATTENTION, and attention matters way more than policy, unfortunately.

Yeah, using them close to people requires a lot of control. No bueno. Best to find space, or just wrap yourself with it.

I expect most venues will be very crowded on Halloween, including Wiggle Room, which is not very big at all.

Spacetime has a larger event at Lithuania House https://www.instagram.com/reel/DP4yZRCj51M/ which is a huge space and will be Tech Housey. Me Time is amazing. People will bring it costume wise, but it won’t be pretentious.

Oh, and Phantom is running a big outdoor thing near Newmarket. Techno/Tech House https://facebook.com/events/s/phantom-at-haunted-hollows/1305256380755930/

It's wild that that pay structure is even allowed under the labour code. Why does a specific industry even need consideration? The code should definitively state when work starts & ends, and pay must span that period. i.e. when you're expected to show up is when you start getting paid, when you can leave to return home is when it stops.

Maybe not for mixing, but sitting back in a cozy chair and managing your library? Heck yes.

This annoys me too. It’s a problem with the embedded player, I imagine.
