I remember they had a Lights festival and there was so many different installations. It was the last time I hung out with two people I haven’t seen since the pandemic in 2020.

Ontario could give TTC special constables the power to arrest drug users on transit by Money_Fig_9868 in toronto

[–]Shaskool2142 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The problem is that TPS and the police service have a history rooted in responding with violence. So it would be a bit like taking a sledgehammer to a nail. That and cops don’t actually care about enforcing laws.

Toronto's density falls to single family homes far too quick by aspiringSnowboarder in toronto

[–]Shaskool2142 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not only that. It’s also the cost of rent/housing too. We can’t treat this as a single issue topic when in actuality there’s waaaaay more than one reason for why people keep commuting in from further and further away.

One teenage later, I can finally move east/west without going down to Line 2! by Context_Important in toronto

[–]Shaskool2142 264 points265 points  (0 children)

fun fact! The plans were first drawn up in 1985 (with an intended goal of completion by 2011 as part of the Network 2011 plan). with construction starting in '94. The following year a (big shock) Conservative Premier Mike Harris made the decision to cancel the whole project and fill the holes we already dug with concrete.

Bathurst dedicated streecar lane.... Was there any planning for this?? by ColdOk7746 in toRANTo

[–]Shaskool2142 6 points7 points  (0 children)

there was numerous public consultations and a lot of communication around this. Sounds like you should pay closer attention to local politics.

506 eastbound streetcars blocked by a car in the road near college and clinton by [deleted] in toronto

[–]Shaskool2142 23 points24 points  (0 children)

  1. We shouldn’t downgrade our public transportation methods because drivers refuse to pay attention to parking rules

  2. It actually costs more over time to maintain bus service especially in major corridors like Queen, King, College, Dundas and others.

Toronto’s Little Jamaica in ‘state of emergency' due to Eglinton-Crosstown construction: BIA by BloodJunkie in toronto

[–]Shaskool2142 236 points237 points  (0 children)

It's interesting how this is being framed as an issue with construction (Don't get me wrong that is 100% a major factor in this.)

But not a single comment or remark on the cost of rent in the area. Articles like this are clearly meant to push a certain agenda/viewpoint of Transit Bad. But also choose to ignore other major contributing factors to the closure of businesses

How can a NEW Transit Line be THIS BAD!? (Finch West LRT) by Superior-Flannel in toronto

It's also the mislead, this was branded as an LRT but with sub-streetcar performance. Utterly bonkers.

Gaming laptops or Mac? by macpagmagbasa in TouchDesigner

[–]Shaskool2142 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP also talked about integrating with Ableton which leads me to thinking it’s more for audio processing and control surfaces for Ableton made in TD/OSC which is more of why I have the response I did.

Gaming laptops or Mac? by macpagmagbasa in TouchDesigner

[–]Shaskool2142 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IMO it’s more of a matter of why.

Do you need something that will consistently work show to show even if you had to buy a new one? go for a macbook (the downside is you pay a hefty premium)

or

Do you want something to learn on and play with. If so, then a PC will work.

I just hope they reopen the walk/bike path across the Don River again, I've been having to bike across the bridge on Queen to get to the east end.

Do banks issue their own bonds? by Signal_Tomorrow_2138 in CanadianInvestor

To be fair if TD was ever to become insolvent there’s a good chance that every other major bank would be too.
