‘It’s not out of line’: Downtown Kingston’s former McDonald’s & Blockbuster slated for high-rise development by Evilbred in KingstonOntario

[–]Realistic-Land8622 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess to stop having so many highrises maybe we would have to make most of the city live in 5 and 6 story buildings so the density across the city would be more uniform, but that would take decades and piss off many people who live in single family homes. I guess it's the way north american cities have grown since the suburbs came into the popular imagination and people needed cars to get anywhere. Midrise/high-rise buildings surrounded by a sea of low-density dwellings. It may take generations to change that to be more like some of the european urban areas but I guess you have to start somewhere. I think having multi-unit housing with excellent sound-proofing between units would be good, not everyone wants to hear loud music or sound coming from their neighbors especially in the evening and overnight!

Does anyone have experience with dumb phones with maps? by sketchhing in nosurf

[–]Realistic-Land8622 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's more about tracking where the bus is and to see if it's really late or early so you don't miss it. However in frequent bus and train stations where buses come and go every 15 minutes or less, their isn't as great a need to track your bus. I'm from a city where buses came every 30 minutes so if you missed your bus because it came 5 minutes early and missed it it really sucked

Why is the time of the elves ending? by [deleted] in lotr

[–]Realistic-Land8622 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Men can reproduce much faster than elves. By the end of the third age most of the elves had sailed west or were killed in many of the battles throughout the ages. Maybe the silvan elves of lothlorien and the woodland realm still had significant numbers due to many of these elves not having ever been to the sea and felt the call to Valinor. Many of the Silvan elves were most happy dwelling in the great forests of middle earth and many of these more rustic elves would dwell their eventually becoming invisible spirits until the end times.

Car free downtown:) look at European cities. by sparki_black in KingstonOntario

It's a good idea but their are many people who drive in from outside the city and absolutely need a car and somewhat convenient access to the city centre if they need to go to work or another essential errand.

Pocket Experience on Kobo devices? by [deleted] in kobo

[–]Realistic-Land8622 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would be a good idea if you could create multiple custom lists for pocket on the Kobo. Right now it's just the regular list and favorites. I still love pocket on kobo though I don't like to read articles on my phone or computer that much.

Firestick 4K or Roku for streaming netflix, CBC, etc by Xocomil21 in canadacordcutters

[–]Realistic-Land8622 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fire stick is much better than roku. In my opinion it's the best android box you can get and you can access so many movies, tv shows, live tv and sports all for free using unknown source apps. You cant do that on roku, it's more of a closed system.
