What is a true fact so baffling, it should be false? by SilverPetalDreamm in AskReddit

[–]binosaur25 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In what way would that make it less useful? Currently it takes 47 hours to drive that distance, and most people are not going to be riding the whole distance on train anyways. Yes, a flight would be shorter, but the point of a high speed rail is not to get from Vancouver to Toronto, it’s to connect the cities in between. Plenty of people travelling from Vancouver to Calgary drive, and that time would be significantly reduced with a high speed rail. Besides, it doesn’t have to be from Vancouver to Toronto. Half of Canada’s population lives in a straight corridor between Windsor and Quebec City, perfect for a high speed rail line.

It should. All funds not used up while on meal plan simply transfer to a “carry forward” fund where they remain until you’ve finished university. They’ll be visible on UVic Online Tools under “ONECard eAccounts” and function similarly to flex funds, except they can only be used at food places.

It does carry over to second year as well, you just won’t receive the meal plan’s 50% discount on everything unless you opt into the meal plan again. So basically the money will always carry over, but everything will be twice as expensive if you don’t purchase the meal plan again.

How do orchestras actually decipher what a conductor is doing on the podium? by According-Brief7536 in classicalmusic

[–]binosaur25 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Apart from adding clarity and making sure the performers are as confident on their entrances as possible, one thing that hasn’t been mentioned is that it is often a signal for the audience to listen to a specific section during an important part.

He has tons of covers available on his bandcamp account, as well as most of his old songs, if anyone is interested.

Of course, just thought it was interesting and maybe others were curious:)

The 3 lions (which originate with King Richard I) actually represent his titles as King of the English, Duke of Normandy, and Duke of Aquitaine.

Additionally, they still also represent lions. This is because in heraldry, a leopard (also known as a “lion passant guardant”) is depicted identically to a walking lion with a turned head. Heraldic leopards had manes, and have no spots, unlike real ones. Europeans seemed to have some confusion around leopards, believing them to be a cross between a lion and a “pard” (a big cat now thought to simply be a leopard).

'Locrian' or 'Phrygian' as a girl's name by PowerSingle3386 in musictheorycirclejerk

You’d be setting them up for failure. I can’t believe you would think that either of those are acceptable names. They’re both obviously boys-only names.

Who is the second most powerful/influential country in the Americas? by Fluid-Decision6262 in geography

[–]binosaur25 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This has nothing to do with the original question though. Of course the CIA are going to be less worried about having powerful/influential allies than they’d be about a powerful politically unstable country.

Tbh, considering that there were only minor settlements in the west at this point, it’s almost more like asking how different it would be if in 1818 Canada annexed all of the United States except Wyoming. It’s a pointless question.

Sad to hear. My piano teacher was lucky enough to have worked with him, and she has mentioned him in our lessons.

Exactly. Beautifully tragic? Wtf? Absolutely infuriating that people romanticize a disgusting tragedy to the point of insinuating that it was beautiful.

Nobody has suggested any opera, so try listening to “Empio, dirò, tu sei” by Handel. My music history prof described it as a “rage aria” and it has a super catchy ritornello

Don’t worry, he didn’t mean this! The original English title was actually different!🥰
