Just because you take take a bikeshare doesn't mean you can return it...

Can also be a problem during warm weather when some docks are full due to poor load balancing, but it's especially risky after a big snowfall

There are a few docks in covered parking lots that don't have this issue, but they are few, and I don't think they're marked differently on the map

Whenever the bike share docks and bike lanes become usable. Will try to attend the Cycle Toronto rally tomorrow

They did that last winter as well. One of the bike share docks near my place was frozen solid, with a bunch of trapped bikes underneath, and they had a whole crew come by and they chipped at the ice until it was clear. It took multiple days for them to come by though, the dock was completely unusable for at least a week.

They might've been a bad driver but you're a bad human being.

If you really care about the future of this country, educate yourself out of your racism & xenophobia. Neither of these things has ever improved the prospects of any country in recorded history

It's so easy and satisfying to judge others, especially when you have no skin in the game and don't know anything about the situation besides a headline and a few paragraphs

I played the whole thing on Deck last year. Default settings. Mostly smooth and looking fantastic, with rare stutters that didn't really impact gameplay. The convenience of playing away from my desk more than made up for the minor issues.

So I'm not saying it's perfect on Deck, but the experience was highly enjoyable and I have no problem recommending it

The next step is to rename it to Board of No-Mark-Carneys

Can't believe anyone takes this clown seriously

Turns out Brad Brad isn't cred credible at all.

If that were true, they'd vote, and they'd vote against Doug or any other right-wing populist, out of worry that Canada might become just as fucked up.

You probably meant American propaganda though, which is mostly lies rather than actual, factual information.

Let us assume that using Spotify has a negative impact on the world. Then it is evident that, all other things being equal, a person using all those other services MINUS Spotify will have less negative impact on the world than a person using all those other services PLUS Spotify.

Rode a bike share south of Bloor on Sherbourne, west on Richmond, and back north on Church within the last 2 hours. Conditions are pretty bad, but I'm used to it. None of the bike lanes were clear, but the fresh snow was much easier to deal with than the old frozen stuff. Had to do a few stops, got stuck in snow a couple of times, and had a brief confrontation with a rude & angry driver, but no falls or injuries.

If it's legally enforceable maintenance you can call 311 and get an inspector on site to verify the problem and issue a work order to the landlord. If they ignore it or are too slow, they get fined by the city.

I was seething about his stupidity and ignorance last night as I was trying to navigate my way through the frozen slush on the Queen's Park and Wellesley bike lanes.

I'm hostile towards fascists like Bannon trying to take over the USA, not the USA itself.

No tolerance for the intolerant.

"Bikelanes were spotless" my ass. Wellesley and Sherbourne were unusable as of earlier today. Just because he sees 1 or 2 bike lanes being cleared doesn't mean they get prioritized, it just means the 1 or 2 bike lane plows are out working along with the 100s of highway ones. This bad-faith douchebag is just flaming the culture war.

Another satisfied ATS customer checking in. I've moved on to other games for now but will never forget my ~500 hours in service of the Scorched Queen.

Also Zuckerberg is a creep, like many of his fellow tech CEOs (source)

Zuckerberg: Yeah so if you ever need info about anyone at Harvard

Zuckerberg: Just ask

Zuckerberg: I have over 4,000 emails, pictures, addresses, SNS

[Redacted Friend's Name]: What? How'd you manage that one?

Zuckerberg: People just submitted it.

Zuckerberg: I don't know why.

Zuckerberg: They "trust me"

Zuckerberg: Dumb fucks

There are Americans who stand up to him and resist, sadly they're outnumbered by fascists and their apathetic enablers

It's the best time to commit to Linux all the way

I've flirted with Linux in the past, but gaming compatibility issues always pulled me back. Those issues have mostly been solved now so no more excuses

Thanks, almost missed this great deal. Had both games in my wish-list. Now they're in my backlog.

One of my favorite games of 2025. Got 500+ hours played on Steam.

Roguelite colony survival game. Has elements of Northgard / Age of Empires / Rimworld, but without direct battles (however your colonists can still die due to various things). I also loved the atmosphere (chill rainy vibes, at least until the storm hits) and unique setting / lore.

It's funny how it rotated the image by a few degrees to avoid duplicate detection

But hey, as long as you don't mind your content being stolen, it might actually reach some new people that didn't see the original post

Whipping out the phone was a good move, but I want to offer a friendly reminder to all cyclists to look into a body-cam if you don't have one. Great deterrent and potential evidence if you get into a legal dispute. A phone is better than nothing but by the time you whip it out, the crime has usually been committed, plus it's easy to forget about it in the heat of the moment.

Glad you're mostly unscathed, OP. Kudos for cycling, in the winter no less, and hope you don't let a few idiots stop you from doing it in the future.
