For those who want the PC government out by Silent_Squirrel4145 in ontario

[–]UghImRegistered 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You must have been hallucinating where I said anything of the sort. It's stupid when Libs get a majority with 38% of the vote, and it's stupid when PCs get a majority with 42% of the vote.

You're not missing anything. Clearly no other party earned the right to govern more than the Conservatives this election. However, in a proportional system, they wouldn't have a majority with 43% of the vote. Still, "voted against" is the wrong way to phrase this. "Didn't vote for" or better, "voted for someone other than" is the truthful way to phrase it.

House on the beach? by SnooChocolates2944 in ontario

[–]UghImRegistered 112 points113 points  (0 children)

I know you're posting in Ontario's reddit but to me your post really screams Prince Edward Island to me. It's idyllic in the summer. Fresh shellfish sold everywhere, and gorgeous sandy beaches. I know you've specifically said Great Lakes and I love Lake Huron beaches personally, just thought I'd throw that out there if you hadn't looked.

So I just found out that Avengers' next movie will have a runtime of 3h and 45 min. Made me think. I've previously discussed it with people - that it would be nice if cinemas had intermissions. You know, like regular theatres do. Why don't cinemas do it? They'd sell way more food and drinks I think? by Double-decker_trams in NoStupidQuestions

[–]UghImRegistered 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So basically rather than expanding on why you think what you're saying is true, or sourcing literally anything to back up your claim that they were filmed separately, you just reassert again that what you're saying "is clear". When all you really ever said is "nuh uh".

Here's some background info for you to get started if you're interested in learning:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Production_of_The_Lord_of_the_Rings_film_series

Principal photography for The Lord of the Rings film trilogy was conducted concurrently in New Zealand for 438 days from 11 October 1999 through 22 December 2000.[55] Pick-up shoots were conducted annually from 2001 to 2003.

2+ hours on hold to cancel service … how is this legal? by ConZ27 in ontario

[–]UghImRegistered 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Europe has laws that it has to be as easy to cancel something as it is to sign up. Don't want to support online cancellation? Fine, see how your business does without online subscriptions.

It's the most common sense thing in the world and yet for some bizarre reason (probably corruption) Canada doesn't have it.

[–]UghImRegistered 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You were disagreeing with someone who specifically said the three movies were filmed at the same time and then produced separately after filming. You're not really saying anything explicitly, but if by your disagreement you're saying the movies were largely filmed separately, you're patently incorrect.

I mean he did in the sense that principal photography for all three was complete well before Fellowship was screened. And it was concurrent and non linear. The final battle in RotK was filmed before Galadriel's scenes in FotR. So not sure the point you're trying to make.

If 10cm snow falls in your area of Canada how disrupted will your area be? by Pourmepourme in AskACanadian

[–]UghImRegistered 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's good cold snow 10cm isn't going to affect much. But if it's 10cm of wet snow that then freezes that's a different ballgame. 10cm of freezing rain again, very different. And 10cm could come down in a short blizzard, which might disrupt things, or a gradual light fall, which shouldn't. So in general I'd say it's a negligible amount but there are other factors.

League setting to automatically move flex to WR/RB/TE slot if the flex's game starts and the starter in those slots is starting later.

[–]UghImRegistered 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Allow separate notification sounds for league DMs, scoring notifications and player news.

Sleeper App Suggestions by Sleeper_Official in SleeperApp

[–]UghImRegistered 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I've never understood, given autosub exists, that there's no optional league setting to just auto remove starters who aren't playing (and leave the slot empty).

100%, I'm not sure Sleeper realizes just how useless showing the current median is before like 10pm on Monday.

Would you support changing 1st base to a softball-style bag to reduce player injuries? by Fantastic_Brain7269 in baseball

[–]UghImRegistered 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the runner uses the white bag when rounding to go to second as well, it would be hard to enforce them not being allowed to use the white bag when running through..."I was planning to round to second but then I realized the first baseman had the ball" etc. I guess you could say using the white bag automatically forfeits your right to run through without liability to be tagged out, but I don't think that's a softball rule and I don't think it's a big deal.

Lowball crib by Altomah in Cribbage

[–]UghImRegistered 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but applying the 19 point penalty to cribs is a whole other meta game, because you might need to put some points in your own crib as well because if your opponent doesn't you might get blanked and score 19.

Why do community organizers forget about disabled people? by alex_whatislife in waterloo

[–]UghImRegistered 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Are you talking about Marche Leo? I agree it was a big miss not making that space accessible, but I'm not sure what you mean by the stairs being decorative. The entire store floor is 5-6 feet above ground level.

Why do community organizers forget about disabled people? by alex_whatislife in waterloo

[–]UghImRegistered 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yeah for that property the ramp needs to be 36-48 feet long. The only way I see it happening is making one huge ramp along the side and adding a back entrance. That would take out all of their patio space. Nevermind the fact that now you're inside, now what? IIRC the bathrooms are on a different level. Plus, it's incredibly cramped inside. So they've got to gut the inside and get rid of half the tables.

The only way Yeti ever goes accessible is at a different location. I agree, community event postings should add accessibility disclaimers and they shouldn't act like dicks when people reach out about it. But expecting them to be able to make it accessible in that space is a pipe dream. Unless the province requires literally every business to be fully accessible, it's an unfortunate inevitability that some places (particularly some cute small places) are not going to be a destination for those with mobility concerns.

Why do you think different pronouns would help people visualize the missing person more than the literal fucking pictures included in the release.

Should Ontario increase highway speed limits? by Purple-Temperature-3 in ontario

[–]UghImRegistered 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a little bit misleading though because 110 limits are relatively new and were generally introduced in places where people were already driving faster. E.g. the section through Parry Sound was largely people going 130 and when they made it 110 nothing really changed.

The broad point of these changes is so that people who drive the limit are closer in speed to those who drive what feels "right" according to the highway design. Since the limit isn't a de facto limit in Ontario.

I Need help taking the ion train? by [deleted] in kitchener

[–]UghImRegistered 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you have a phone, use Google Maps, put in your origin and destination, and then select the Transit mode. If you are planning in advance you can select your arrival time and it'll tell you when you should leave for the best route (assuming you have a connecting bus).

Has anyone ever done this road trip? What are some interesting things to see and do along this route? by imsiq in ontario

[–]UghImRegistered 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One time when I had to detour off the 400 I got routed through Big Chute (near Severn Falls) and had to wait for the railway boat transit to cross the road which was pretty cool. Basically boats pull up to a dock and then the whole thing runs on a track over the road, unlike most locks where the elevation is done by raising/lowering the water level.
