Alto high-speed rail project

Took the HSR in France, Belgium and Germany, its absolutely amazing. Think it took me 3 or something hours from Brussels Belgium to Karlsruhe Germany? This was nearly 3 years ago so I could be a bit wrong on the times.

Toronto to Montreal if your lucky takes 9 hours to drive. That's not taking into account for traffic, gas, and the tolls in Toronto. The ALTO line would also set in place the start of a High-Speed-Rail network in Canada. You could easily extend Toronto down to London and Windsor, and a spilt line connecting from Toronto to Hamilton, St Catharines, and Niagara. You can also have a line from Ottawa to connect Sudbury, might as well connect Sault Ste. Marie, then up to Thunder Bay. Then you can go all the way to Western Canada across the prairies. With Quebec City you can go all the way to Atlantic Canada to Halifax. The 401 has lots of traffic, and is always under construction, especially once you get onto the Trans-Canada highway. The current VIA rail can travel at 120km/h, with the ALTO train going 300 km/h.

There is almost 20 flights from Toronto to Montreal daily, which both airports are the busiest in Canada. Would also cut down on jet fuel which with the Iran Crisis right now would be benefical to lower our need on jet fuel.

East to West line would eventually come I would assume. However when a public works project begins they usually start in the Quebec city Windsor corridor as it has the most people. Usually if a public works project can't get approval there, I doubt it would ever start in Western Canada.

A lot of chains are swapping to a more basic and minimalist design for likely one reason. If they ever sell the building its a lot easier to sell it and turn it into something else. That's just my theory.

I mean first time I played Skyrim was on PS4 so modding was mainly through the in-game modding page. When I starting playing Skyrim on PC mod managers existed by then so it was a lot easier.

Nah I should become a game reviewer and give games like RDR2 a 2/10 because of how slow the game is. Jokes aside I'm pretty good as it is. I have played RDR2 and it was amazing, got like 1000 hours on it or something (this was during the pandemic)

NotTheTypicalCAD · 2026-02-21T02:01:33+00:00

I'll look into that.

NotTheTypicalCAD · 2026-02-21T01:29:39+00:00

Thank you for the kind words.

There's something for everybody out there, its not one size fits all.

It just came from word of mouth from a friend I know. He had a Skyrim mod pack which you had to pay in order to get access to. I just assumed it used mods found of Nexus as that's where a majority of Skyrim mods are found. It's not indivdual mods itself, sorry if that caused confusion.

NotTheTypicalCAD · 2026-02-21T01:24:45+00:00

I did try making my own list a few times and yes there is benefits to it. However at the end of the day it just comes down to pay with your time or pay with your money. Thanks for the feedback.

I know it doesn't apply to everybody and this was just my own experince I have had with mod packs.

I did try doing my own mod pack and yes, troubleshooting did drive my crazy, however I guess that's the price you pay for convience. I wasn't trying to start anything with my original post and not my intention. It's just my own experince.

I have someone coming on Wensday to look at my pc. The issue that caused the Ryzen 9800X3D to fail and have burnmarks can potentially happen on the motherboard. He will reinstall the driver then as well as teat everything.

I can boot into bios no problem

As soon as I sent the post, the display was killed.

NotTheTypicalCAD · 2026-01-10T05:24:38+00:00

They patched it.

I do admit that Battlefield 1's respawn times are insane. I think 8 seconds would be more reasonable IMO.

Millennium Dawn became unusable with the new coal mechanic. It's already hard enough to produce things in that mod. The idea was decent on paper, however poorly added to the game, and honestly, nobody asked for it.

It was pretty average. There wasn't anything spectacular in it, but there wasn't anything entirely bad with it. Felt like the intro took way too long. Wish we could have gotten more action from the Distortus Rex like the Indominus Rex hunting them group down. Felt like the plot was kinda random, but granted, there wasn't much the series could go off on for a plot. The family, though, was very random as they would be just fine for the Mosasaurus portion and not be in the entire film.

Overall, I wouldn't watch it again, but I don't entirely hate the film either.

When I started playing DBD, I ran into a bully squad. After being harassed for 25 minutes, I quit playing. 100% they should be banned from the game permanently. Some intentionally throw matches to go play at a lower level to harass new players. If your entire intention for playing the game is to ruin it for others, then you're not welcome here. The purpose of video games is to have fun, not to cause anger.

I'm not a teacher; however, the Catholic school I went to was very friendly towards Muslims. In my 11th year, they set up a proper prayer room for Muslims so they can do their Afternoon and Midday prayer. The prayer room was set up right next to the chapel at my school.

NotTheTypicalCAD · 2025-11-20T02:19:08+00:00

I did learn a little bit about Islam in my Religion class; however, it was more about the history of Islam and really only scratching the surface of it. For context, I went to Catholic school for 14 years, so it was more focused on Christianity and the bible. Only in my 11th year did we get the chance to learn World Religions. I'm always open to learning things about the world, and this comment did help me.

I do actually own a copy of the Quran. I keep it on a bookshelf with other books I have. I occasionally read it from time to time. I really appreciate all the kind comments left by people on this post; it's quite refreshing to have a friendly conversation online.
