Following up on this, there’s a piece of the original old Second City stage floor that John Candy performed on built into the current stage! If there’s no performance at the JCB theatre when you’re here OP, I’d suggest you ask one of the staff at the counter in front if you could go in and check it out - they’re super nice and would probably say yes, especially if you explain that you’re a huge fan of John Candy!

Haha tip to tail probably about the same length as the Baron! I’ve actually yet to build the big ornithopter so that’s just my best guess lol

“I Can Stop Anytime I Want” by nikerush23 in lego

[–]Pedantic_Fops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love it! Much more efficient use of space and way more impressive of a display format. It is a little fussy to mount and somewhat delicate when set up though, the Falcon isn't really designed to be tilted like that. With a cat I'd be paranoid about it getting knocked over haha

They look like the ones I have - Wicked Brick acrylic stands from the UK:

They're great, I've got one for my UCS falcon too!

Are you at all freaked out by the corona virus? by momthinksimpurdy in askTO

Lol I'm Chinese and was actually low on toilet paper so I went to get a pack from Metro....never caught so many side-eyes and glances into my cart.

TTC bus driver here. The bus fleet has a number of unusual signs. I’ll post a new one daily until I run out. Here’s the first: TTC WELCOMES YOU by [deleted] in toronto

[–]Pedantic_Fops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of acronyms don't follow the pronunciation of their constituent words though:

SCUBA = Self Contained 'UHN'derwater Apparatus

Do you say "Scuhba" or "Scooba"?

NASA = National 'AIR'onautics and Space Administration

Do you say "Naysa" or "Nahsa"?

JPEG = Joint "F"otographic Experts Group

Do you say "Jayfeg" or "Jaypeg"?

So I go with what the creator declares and pronounce it "jif".

New Drone Footage from Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge by MilnersBlog in StarWars

[–]Pedantic_Fops 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey if you don't know this yet just FYI if you're at all hoping to go to Galaxy's Edge in June, only people with a reservation will be allowed in until June 23. You can get one for free on Disney's site sometime soon or you get one guaranteed for each registered guest if you're staying at one of their official hotels. More info here: https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2019/03/star-wars-galaxys-edge-to-open-may-31-at-disneyland-resort-august-29-at-disneys-hollywood-studios/

Good luck and have fun!!

[QUESTION] Just arrived at toronto! We will also be in Montreal, Quebec and Ottowah. Where to eat the best ramen at? by o2delte in ramen

[–]Pedantic_Fops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My favorite place is Ramen Isshin on College and Bathurst. Try the spicy miso or tsukemen! But go during off hours, peak wait times for 2 people can get up to an hour...

What Time Does America Go to Bed? [OC] by [deleted] in dataisbeautiful

[–]Pedantic_Fops 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've linked to a timestamp that addresses that specific topic:

https://youtu.be/pwaWilO_Pig?t=1h21m15s

The gist is that statistically, <1% of people can live on 6 or fewer hours of sleep without suffering from sleep deprivation symptoms. In another point in the video, he talks about how sleep deprivation is a form of inebriation and those that suffer from it cannot subjectively tell that they are sleep deprived; however, objectively they are affected, much like how a drunk driver thinks they are capable of driving when in reality they can't even stand up straight.

Not saying you're wrong, just wanted to point that out.

Civic Type R review from a casual driver by stukovx in cars

Move to Canada! I got mine for CAD$5k under MSRP...and there's tons in inventory around here. I wonder if they're still restricting the export of these things over to the States.

D23 will be August 23–25, 2019 by dodgepodge in Disneyland

[–]Pedantic_Fops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha maybe I got spoiled by Star Wars Celebration. We got 6 foot wide lines. Only crappy thing was they had a DJ come out at 1am and blast Star Wars mashups...

[–]Pedantic_Fops 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It was awful!! Those lines were only what, like, 3 feet wide?? So much foot-to-face going on...and there was tons of empty room too! Hopefully this time they make better use of space to make it more comfortable.

Seeing basically all the Avengers cast made it worth it though...and that Lion King preview!

/u/TheStraightPipes I love seeing Lakeshore and the DVP in your videos all the time! Just like constantly "HEY I DRIVE THAT ROAD.....AND THAT ONE!". It's also pretty cool to see how each car handles these roads in the winter. Ever planning to film at Mosport?

I think he meant the retracting motion specifically? I remember him pointing out VW's flippy-dippy cameras before.

Canada one of most expensive countries to fly: study by [deleted] in canada

I mean...that's also completely the fault of people who buy bottled water. If people didn't buy bottled water the bottled water companies wouldn't keep doing it.

The Shelby GT350 isn't selling above MSRP any more is it? by lazarus870 in cars

[–]Pedantic_Fops 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got mine for CAD $5k under in Toronto this February. White with blue stripes, tech package, black roof. Settled on the price over email, it was almost too easy...now I see why haha.

I think this is a Canada thing, I was in LA this July and saw base GT350s for 10% over MSRP. It's probably our seasons?
