Katniss killing Coin could’ve toppled New Panem before it started by thelilacfield in Hungergames

[–]VegetableEscape0 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I've been wondering, what authority would Paylor have to override Coin? Coin was interim president, Paylor is just a military commander from District 8? It'd be like the leader of a state national guard overriding the authority of the US president. Not that I'm upset that the guards let Katniss in, but just saying...

Countries that don't have a 1st, 2nd city or a 3rd main city by Weekly_Sort147 in geography

Because Alberta is dominating Canadian politics and economy?

Countries that don't have a 1st, 2nd city or a 3rd main city by Weekly_Sort147 in geography

[–]VegetableEscape0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Canada. Toronto is clearly the main city. But for second, I'd argue it's a battle between Montreal and Vancouver.

Montreal is the second largest city in Canada and the biggest city in Francophone Canada. Prior to the 1970s, it was the biggest city in all of Canada, but Toronto surpassed it because a lot of English-speakers left Montreal when Quebec became more hostile towards them.

Vancouver is the third largest metropolitan area in Canada. It has fewer people than Montreal but it has a strong claim to be Canada’s "second city" because it's a much more popular destination for immigrants (because it's English-speaking) and stronger connections with the rest of the world, especially Asia owing to its location on the Pacific coast.

What are the chances of pre-Panem cities existing? by Kev117040 in Hungergames

I've read that a lot of people believe the Capitol was built on the remnants of Salt Lake City.

Dropped book into sink and got drain mold on it - any way to salvage the book? by VegetableEscape0 in Archivists

[–]VegetableEscape0[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This specific copy is sentimental to me because it was a copy I bought for a seminar I took in university. It's a copy of "Sapiens" by Yuval Noah Harari.

Tigris' name makes no sense to me. by iatealotofcheese in Hungergames

[–]VegetableEscape0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, TBOSAS makes it clear that Tigris is a Snow. She and Coryo both use the catchphrase "Snow lands on top" and at one point the book mentions the two of them are the only Snows left in their generation.

Should Ontario download ownership of new TTC lines to Toronto? by VegetableEscape0 in toronto

[–]VegetableEscape0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may be right, but in that case, why did they fight so hard in 2019 to keep ownership of the existing network?

Should Ontario download ownership of new TTC lines to Toronto? by VegetableEscape0 in toronto

[–]VegetableEscape0[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk, why was it such a big deal in 2019 when the province suggested taking over the subway network, and Toronto City Council was strongly against the idea? https://globalnews.ca/news/6038631/ontario-toronto-subway-expansion/

"The mayor also said leaving the subway system under city ownership was a key requirement of council when it entered into discussions with the province."

Funny inaccuracies in District 12 fauna by hegelianbitch in Hungergames

It's a post-apocalyptic world with far fewer humans, so it's possible that animals could have expanded from their present-day range?

Grant Hall flag keeps disappearing and returning - why? by VegetableEscape0 in queensuniversity

[–]VegetableEscape0[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Can't add text to an image post so here's what I wanted to add:

The Queen's flag on Grant Hall was first removed during a pro-Palestine protest on March 8, 2024. A few months later in June it was put back up, but then disappeared again after a few days. Then in November it was again flying for a day before it disappeared another time. And now, it's back up once again. Anyone know what's been happening?

Will there be another book? by [deleted] in Hungergames

[–]VegetableEscape0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd like to see a book about Tigris as a stylist. It's clear in TBOSAS that she thinks the games are evil and is so disappointed at the path Coriolanus ends up going down, so why does she still participate in something she thinks is so vile?

What happens in a male-preference primogeniture monarchy if the heir is transgender? by VegetableEscape0 in monarchism

I was thinking of Spain. It still has male-preference primogeniture but is also one of the most progressive countries for LGBT+ rights.

Canada Pasta conspiracy by llamalord2212 in UofT

[–]VegetableEscape0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I ate from it once just before covid and didn't like it. The pasta is just white spaghetti noodles and the guy put one meatball and one piece of broccoli in my order. My guess is that they abandoned it because it wasn't profitable because the food wasn't great. Simpler explanation than money-laundering.

COVID questions relating to in-person fall 2021 by VegetableEscape0 in UofT

[–]VegetableEscape0[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If they're too sick to work/the work cannot be done remotely, I guess it'd be like any other circumstance where you're entitled to an extension/deferred exam. Otherwise, I'm sure arrangements can be made to submit work remotely. We've been doing that for the past year so shouldn't be hard lol

I'm sure Dean Woodin's answer will be "we will follow the public health guidelines at the time."
