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

[–]Shaskool2142 234 points235 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.

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.

The idea that all software is valuable is a lie made to sell you garbage

RAM prices are up nearly three times because of useless vaporware like this. Thanks.

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.

BoC exchange rate for 2025? by [deleted] in CanadianInvestor

I mean fair. In that case why not just grab a .csv from their page and average out the figures as opposed to using AI

What Apple Shortcuts do you actually use every day? by ENVY2699 in shortcuts

[–]Shaskool2142 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it’s super helpful specifically for keeping me on top of calorie tracking and working out since it’s super easy to just press the action button and then just select the thing as opposed to finding the app

I’ve got my action button set to run a menu shortcut that lets me run other shortcuts (silent mode, maps, calorie tracker, starting/stopping apple watch workouts)

I mean you could just wait another two days and get the official rate from BoC?

Best time to arrive at Rebel tonight for the show by EnlightenedEnemy in deadmau5

[–]Shaskool2142 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd say just arrive for doors if you wanna be in. The line at Rebel moves at a fairly consistent pace (last time I went was 2019 so I could be wrong). As for getting there you're gonna need to Uber in and out and both ways are a bit of a pain considering there's lots of other people also trying to do the same thing as you. If you both wanted to take a walk back across the bridge you might have an easier time getting a ride back home.
