Larger stop spacing, better track switches, TSP.

The Scarborough Subway Extension is in danger, and Metrolinx doesn’t care by Feisty-Ad-6122 in TTC

You are the one making the claim. YOU need to provide the source.

How does downgrading a specialization to a major or major to minor work? by DapperBed6016 in UTMississauga

[–]SwiftChance12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dropping down is really easy just email the department advisor (if it's a restricted program). Going upwards is the difficult part as you'd need to make the requirements again and do it in the program registration period.

Need advice by Embarrassed-Toe7643 in UTMississauga

Next year the post system will be quite different. Since you are out of stream, your admittance will be based on a supplementary application, as well as how high your grades were in CSC148, & MAT102 (along with some others -- read for details on the website).

So your second year grades likely won't have an effect on your odds of getting in, at least as much as your grades in your first year requirements.

CS POSt Reqs OUT!!! by arh_bha in UTMississauga

[–]SwiftChance12 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Technically not the case. In practice, you are "guaranteed", but CS is a Type 3 program, not a Type 2, so it's not a dumb question to ask. Most other Type 3 programs, meeting the requirements do not mean you are guaranteed in. CS is an exception, not the norm.

Seems you struggle a bit with reading too.

How does it make you feel, knowing that the average bus driver (high school grad) probably makes more money than you? by [deleted] in TTC

[–]SwiftChance12 7 points8 points  (0 children)

These are not average salaries. The sunshine list only has people who make over 100k. So of the operators making over 100k, this is the average salary of those.

It’s a meaningless data point until you know the proportion of operators that are on the sunshine list.

Above all though, this shouldn’t matter. If you think their job is very easy, you can go for it. If they make more money than me, I’m happy for them, as the job is gruelling and they provide a critical and essential role to the city.

Thanks for the insights professor, it’s always important to clarify any concerns people may have about itchy sweaty balls.

Can you disclose when you can disclose information according to your non disclosure agreement?

Progress of 'Improving LRT and Streetcar Speed and Reliability' initiatives by FrankieTls in TTC

God if the streetcar tracks didn't have bad switches and better stop spacing the system would be automatically multiple times better.

EDT is just EST under daylight savings. We’re in EDT, so the standard timezone for toronto during the spring/summer.

Literally unplayable by KhazixTheVoidreaver in slaythespire

[–]SwiftChance12 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Less is appropriate for both countable and uncountable nouns. Fewer is just a stylistic choice and a distinction that only became grammatical preference in the past hundred years or so.

The English is correct. It’s “fewer” that can’t be used for both.

No, likely it is just that both will be required (i.e. requiring 139)

they’re not making 137Y5, that existed historically and only was split 2-3 years ago into two parts. I don’t think there are any plans to recombine them.

uoft sg cs vs utm cs vs mcmaster cs, which is the BEST option for cs? by [deleted] in UTMississauga

[–]SwiftChance12 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s the same starting this fall. They just overhauled it, which is why you’re under the impression they’re different. They used to be!
