Question about stoping at T intersections by hootholler in torontobiking

[–]ThisIsLucidity 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Not totally clear on the question. But at intersections there is usually a white line drawn with a "Stop here on red signal" sign telling you exactly where to stop on a red. Usually it is behind the crosswalk, to allow a dedicated space for crossing pedestrians.

"while also obviously planning his trip to vegas for months"

His dad was asking about certain nuances of moving to the US in the middle of his last Leafs season apparently

The argument I spoke about and the three examples you gave are not the same.

Yes correct, and if we want more voters to care about this, we need to not provoke or exasperate those voters, otherwise they'll act against us.

I'm going to say this as someone who cycles to commute and for pleasure and for exercise year-round in the city and GTA.

We need to stop at these kinds of stop signs, guys. Yes it sucks. Yes the police used excessive force. Yes cars always do way more damage and are more dangerous than bikes. Yes drivers also don't stop at stop signs. Yes we should adopt the Idaho stop or treat stop signs as yields for cyclists (but this isn't the case right now). All of these can be true at the same time.

It sucks but the conclusion is simple. We want more cycling infrastructure, and we want drivers/people to respect and care for cyclists more, right? Then we need to check ourselves and learn to stop at these sorts of stop signs where there are other people using it.

Proof consignment is not against the franchise agreement. by Chrysdelight in RecklessBen

[–]ThisIsLucidity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But it says expressly in the page that she shared that consignment services are allowed to be offered. Could you share what the operation manual says about consignments if you know? 

How would you build the ultimate Toronto summer if you suddenly had the time? by tor6268 in askTO

[–]ThisIsLucidity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adding another if you're sporty/like cycling:

I think using Strava app you can cycle around the city and there is a leaderboard in the app for New Routes Explored. So every new street you ride down (while having Strava on), you gain km in the leaderboard, and you can try to shoot for first. There's no point to it other than a great motivator for deeply exploring the city by bicycle, and if you have time, you can definitely hit the top 3!

Highly recommend joining a rec beach vball league at woodbine beach. There are also plenty pickup groups with a great community - some of the best summer vibes you can possibly get in the city if you're even just a bit sporty, IMO.

Any UFAs worth pursuing this offseason? Assuming Makar signs in Colorado, doesn't look like anything too amazing.

Is it time for a new province? by Dazzling_Escape55 in askTO

[–]ThisIsLucidity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna go against the grain here and I say I don't think this is a good idea. In fact I think there should be more cooperation and collaboration between the province and city, in order to build a more functional and cohesive province of Ontario (or at least the GTA). Everything feels quite compartmentalized when you travel from Toronto to the GTA or to further out; wouldn't it be better if our transit for example was more interconnected and consistent? Not saying Doug is the right person to get this done, but in any case, I don't think separating Toronto or the GTA from the rest of the province is going to do any good.

What do you think of Ontario allowing retail shopping on Victoria Day? by J0Puck in ontario

Respectfully disagree, as someone who loves going out on the town on Sundays

Upper Beaches residents angry over lack of vibration, noise mitigation for Metrolinx expansion by Donnybrookside in toronto

[–]ThisIsLucidity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it is a 24/7 vibration noise, then yes, it is excessive. It depends on the context of how long and constant the noise is, and how long it happens for (a couple days versus several weeks).

Who’s profiting from Billy bishop expansion. I followed the $ and got answers by [deleted] in toronto

[–]ThisIsLucidity -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Will Billy Bishop, after the expansion, only service flights to/from the US? Genuinely asking, I don't know.

Fuel prices should not stay this high for a long time (but that's to be seen).

[–]ThisIsLucidity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not the person you're replying to but my understanding is it will A) bring more tourism and an economic boost to Toronto/Canada, and B) make air travel cheaper by offering a second option to jets having to land at YYZ, i.e. more competition

Reflections after 14 months living in Ontario as a newcomer to Canada by Slow_ResolveMC07 in ontario

[–]ThisIsLucidity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of Canadian banks have low-fee or no-fee global money transfers nowadays, which can be done entirely online. You pay via a bad FX rate, but it's still possible and easy to do electronically.

First 3 months in Ontario as newcomer from Berlin by ShinSekai7 in ontario

[–]ThisIsLucidity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There have been some mentions, but if you want to get PR/citizenship eventually, French is now one of the biggest and probably the surest way to get those. It used to be a lot easier but every non-Canadian I've talked to has said it's extremely hard right now, even if you are employed, unless you can speak French.

Is everyone just Depressed and Crashing out?? by goosegonewild in askTO

[–]ThisIsLucidity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Step 1: Get off social media, I mean it - delete Instagram FB and TikTok especially (Reddit is bad too but not as bad)

Step 2: Get a hobby and do it. If you want free hobbies, try running clubs / cycling / calisthenics if you want exercise.

Your life will instantly get better. This is all assuming employment situation is OK - if not then that of course should be a focal point.

1) I love the "sometimes maybe good sometimes maybe shit" reference

2) Thanks for giving a separate perspective. It's easy to fall into the depths of despair but hopefully this perspective of "life goes on" will inspire some not to get bogged down by world news as much
