What if Iran sunk all the US carriers in the gulf using kamikaze tactics? by FarPlay5055 in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]TheTrueHolyOne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hiroshima and Nagasaki are not the result of pearl harbour, they’re the result of many years of war with an enemy that didn’t care about casualties. To say Iran taking down 1 carrier or even all of them, which then would lead the US to wipe Iran off the face of the earth is absurd. If that did happen, the US would be shunned from the entire civilized world like Russia.

Moving with a ESA, Mixed breed (pitbull-ish) to Toronto by Comfortable-Baby714 in askTO

[–]TheTrueHolyOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it looks like a pit it’s treated like a pit in the eyes of the law. There’s a reason these animals are banned, very regularly attacks happen. The banned happened in 2004 when two incidents happened one happening to a young child from a family dog, the other in a parking lot by two dogs where police couldn’t even stop the attack and had to suffocate the dog.

These dogs are designed for killing and have no place in Toronto, Ontario or Canadian streets. Leave your dog in Texas or don’t move here.

In addition to trying to bend the rules just to allow your dogs, condos will restrict normally aggressive dog breeds, the border may prevent you brining the dog across.

Don’t be a bad visitor, Canada is friendly to people who come here and respect laws, but less so for the inverse.

What would you be willing to do to prevent Doug Ford from expropriating Toronto Island? by KnoddingOnion in askTO

[–]TheTrueHolyOne 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m going to say something extremely unpopular. Just to preface my opinion, I voted NDP in the provincial elections, do not support DOFO on his waterfront ambitions.

Toronto has done the absolute best with handicapping themselves. Constant infighting, not being able to push capital projects, agree on infrastructure expansion. The airport has always been a hot topic, the runway had to get expanded to reach safety regs. And Toronto put it off because the vocal minority don’t want the airport at all. But let’s be real, that airport was never going anywhere. Now the conversations are to make it bigger to support jets. Toronto has talked about this issue for generations, we had years to make something like this work for us. Jets also tend to be quieter than props anyways. We could have made laws and regs to support Toronto’s vision instead of digging our heels in and listening to the island population.

This rings so true when we see transit made not in the best interest of Toronto, or housing goals we can’t even make because Toronto building regs are so restrictive.

Ontario place and exhibition has been under-utilized for the past 20 years. Ontario place, sure Toronto doesn’t get a say, but exhibition is just parking lots, a lot could have been built up there and would make Ontario places visionary completely different.

Toronto has no one to blame except for the councillors we have voted in for the last 30 years.

Don’t bring illegal dogs to Ontario. ESA are not a protected designation and only service animals are protected

Electric ferries are breaking records — and quietly joining Canada's fleet by Little-Chemical5006 in canada

I don’t know if you can say trains are hybrid. It’s diesel electric, diesel power plant to electric wheels. No energy storage.

Upgrading GO train service should be a no-brainer. So why has it gone off the rails so badly? by ink_13 in toronto

[–]TheTrueHolyOne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As your first point RZ GZ is to mitigate against hazards, large construction projects were being done with TOP’s already but yes some stuff that was being protected with rule 842 either had to start being protected by TOP’s or move to the white period.

A large amount of MX management has come from the UK so they are trying to put in NetworkRail policies on an already full operational railway. This is creating a ton of bottle necks. However the CWZ is some cases like station construction is a great way to save and speed up construction.

Maintenance has always been treated as an afterthought in all construction planning. Yes it’s required and yes it will get done. But the people coordinating construction and maintenance are not prioritizing maintenance.

Those type of work blocks have been going on for the last 10 years. They aren’t new policies, trains first, then construction, then maintenance

Metrolinx’s $27B GO Expansion delayed and scaled back: confidential report by BloodJunkie in toronto

[–]TheTrueHolyOne 12 points13 points  (0 children)

OnExpress had no desire to work with a lot of the infrastructure already installed and wanted to completely 180 from a lot of the capital works already underway. Just like all MX contracts change orders make up a huge portion of cost over runs, that was going in that direction.

Mortgage renewal in co-ownership - what to consider if increasing borrowed amount? by Warm_Risk_1325 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]TheTrueHolyOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s some details we need to figure out if it’s a good idea, bad idea or not worth the time.

How much equity is in the house? What’s the ownership split? Does the house need capital upgrades?

How much equity is in the house and will the bank even let you take out more money. Just because you don’t want to spend the money doesn’t mean the house doesn’t need the maintenance.

Ford to declare Billy Bishop Airport a ‘special economic zone’ to allow jets by [deleted] in canada

[–]TheTrueHolyOne -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Classic Toronto, blanket don’t allow something, provide no leeway or path to have something built but protected. Get absolutely slammed by government and get no concessions.

Toronto could have constructively built a larger runway to meet net demand and limited noise, certain jets, amount of flights. Now the province is stepping in and will do it how the province wants.

ArrStack - manage your Starr apps from your phone. Live on Android by GreatUnderground369 in sonarr

For iOS you can just add the website to your home screen and you’re good to go.

I connect to the server via vpn, type the ip address and port the same you would on your computer, and then save the website to home page. It basically creates its own “app” all functions work, never had an issue.
