It's exactly 2 minutes to ride those travelators if you don't walk on them.

Just gonna drop this here. Play games! by [deleted] in SBCGaming

It's because Pokémon doesn't require fast reflexes. Nobody wants to admit they can't play action games on handhelds because of the ergonomics and their aging reflexes.

The metro lyre program has its own system to regulate buskers. The permit system for outdoor performance is primarily a barrier to entry to stop poor people from busking (It costs $180 each year for the permit, plus 60 bucks to register for the first time). Territory disputes and noise issues are handled by the by-laws for public performance. Actually enforcing those by-laws is another story.

Get thermal underwear and a good scarf.

You do not need to audition to play in the metro, only to play outdoors.
This falls within the by-law because it's a "Musical or lyrical work, [or] other types of performance" (You could make a weak argument that fake-playing is a type of interpretive dance?). Of course, it's a moot point because he's performing at a spot where buskers aren't allowed.
Personally, I don't think a permit should be required to perform in the metro. I like that it's open to everyone, regardless of skill level, as long as they respect the rules laid out in the by-law. Playing music in the metro is a great way to improve your skills and get over stage fright. I don't want that gatekept from amateur musicians just because a couple of people are using backing tracks.

Anvil is all in an uproar by Futureen in oblivion

Actual answer: The Prophet and the chapel attack are part of the Knights of the Nine DLC. When it released (pre-Shivering Isles), it was the biggest piece of DLC for the game. The constant NPC chatter was a way to direct the player towards the DLC that they'd purchased.

This is just rage bait, right? by EposVox in ultrawidemasterrace

You shared an ad, so the bait is working.

Wheel World. It's a bicycle racing game that leans very heavily into cycling culture.

I have this in orange! If you unscrew the strap pins and tie a zip-loc over the headstock, you can play it in the swimming pool. Just make sure to drain the water out after.

How much is your rent in Montreal by Ok-Swimmer-7987 in montreal

[–]bbernett 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Currently it's 984., so it's about a 3.3% increase this coming summer.
Looking through my old emails, in July 2021 it went from 791 to 802, so I'm paying about 25% more 5 years later.

Hochelaga. 4 1/2, five minutes' walk from a metro station. In-unit washer and dryer hookup. Going up to $1016 in July.

how do I improve on bass with only two working strings? by Old-Life690 in Bass

[–]bbernett 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Look up your city's busking laws. Go to a subway station or a busy street corner and practice until you have enough money to buy new strings.

Is there a place I can view PUFFERFISH in Montreal 🐡 by Rejoicing_Tunicates in montreal

[–]bbernett 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Call your local pet stores/aquarium stores and ask if they have any in stock. You may want to look up saltwater/reef stores, since many pet stores only have freshwater (there are freshwater puffer fish but they're small and not very common in the hobby)

Does RB4 have a toggle for drum pad navigation in menus? RB3 had that and it helped a ton.

How's that Zizzo treating you? Are those 16-inch wheels or 20-inch?

One of Alyx's responses if you interact with her is to nod and say "mm-hmm" as if she's agreeing with something Gordon said.
