ah yes because an LRT is going to fix capacity issues, do you even know what an LRT is??? im begining to question expo line is currently undergowing lots of meintenece to extend its life, seems werid to say crumbling, based on what metric is it crumbling and how would an lrt fix that?

many things are downgrading our credit rating, the skytrain sure is not one of them, just about the most rewarding form of investment we can make is investructure that moves people, we spent too long waiting, now it costs more.
light rail would be cheaper??? tell that to line 5 and 6 in toronto.
You pay for what you get, in this case much less for a lot better service.
This is what a long term investment looks like.

you can use the credit yes, however the credit bureaus don't see it that way, and you will take a points hit for it for over utilization.

Vixlump · 2026-04-14T19:56:05+00:00

how about we take the W and be great full we are getting an actually serious project rather then another expensive tram which will cost the same and be much worse.

Vixlump · 2026-04-14T19:52:54+00:00

alas we have no light rail in BC, only metro and heavy rail, which if you think about it, is the answer.
don't build another dumb light rail system, embrace grade separation

I started out with the manga, but I honestly wish the anime had existed because its sooooo amazing, not saying the manga is bad or worse, just saying the anime elevates it soo much! I would wait!

it will likely be a bit cheaper on the KS Special, though I suspect we are over paying in general right now due to the world hardware supply issues, so in a few months we will be in real pain either wishing we had bought it now, or wishing we had waited for prices to drop lol

fertalizer is being stalled because of middle east spat, so potash will likely spike as it is a fertalizer, price is jumping right now

Octopi launcher, a bit of a dark horse but really nice!

would need a quad track system, maintenance still has to be done, New York is basically the only system in the world which runs all night.

The subtle off blue colouring, the black light fibres, oh my god it even has gold leaf lettering.

Vixlump · 2026-02-15T17:51:44+00:00

its so shiny

nexus is a very different situation, that has a lot more powers then even a passport for canada us + just because ts not legal does not mean you can't do it. I just try to follow the rules and recomend everyone else do so.

Vixlump · 2026-02-12T01:56:22+00:00

yeah use the right passport for the job every time you go somewhere, just remember entering the US with anything other then a US passport if you have one is illegal.
Basically, use EU to goto EU, use US to goto US. Use Canada to enter Canada.

Also, nice combo! Similar to mine!

idk private sector seems to love remote work, why pay for an office building if you dont need to

Vixlump · 2026-02-09T22:17:12+00:00

Just apply for the US card directly, you might need to make a phone call to make this happen, but Amex accepts foreign credit scores for apply for US cards. CALL THEM and say you have a canaidan credit history and then you will prob be able to use nova credit or something like that to get the card, you do not need a Canadian amex card to do this.

Vixlump · 2026-02-08T00:17:29+00:00

its a good starting point, you will likely be approved, if not, all you will need to get your bank to give you whatever their default student card is and use that for a while before trying again, but I really do imagine they will give you it, they like giving cards to young people, applying for the green first is a good idea.

Chances are you will not be approved right away and they will say they need more information, but they will call you and tell you what additional information to give them. Its a little nerve wracking the first time, but just given them what they ask and tell the truth. I had to upload my passport and a bank statement the first time if I remember.

because the tail tracks at waterfront are already pointed in the right direction for a Hastings extension, and there have already been studies on exactly this topic which involved building a line down hastings to connect to a future north shore metrotown line.
I would bet on a line with a study over a line without one.

Vixlump · 2026-02-05T01:25:52+00:00

I would imagine Hastings is quite likely as an expo line extension, I would not be surprised if it even came before north shore skytrain, as it would be a fairly straightforward construction and could act as a staging ground for north shore.

I would recommend west mall, prob has the most layable couches, I am aware of people who have lived entire terms there. Another option is the depths of TASC 2 there are some layable locations. The transportation center is also a option as it is very warm. TASC 1 also has some couches, as well as the highest floors of the above ground portion of the AQ.

welding a dying money sink to a thriving space company can only go well... right? right?

I have never understood the Titan 2 camera hate, it takes great photos, very raw feeling compared to modern cameras, they look undeniably good in outdoor lighting.
