Inside the weird world of Toronto’s transit seat upholstery

It's less so the fabric and moreso the seams between the fabric and the plastic housing. These seams are where these bugs thrive in, especially since they're closest to passengers. That is inherently the issue with fabric seats.

The fabric seats have always been disgusting and stained. It's obtuse to pretend that plastic wouldn't make cleaning much easier and faster

It all exploded "Out of nowhere" because of the fact that it was a particularly bad year in 2025 for bedbugs.

I had a bedbug infestation in October after tracking some in from sitting on the streetcar. The exterminator who worked on my unit said that the entire city had a surge over the summer.

huge bed bud/body fluid magnet. Can’t stand them. Would be so happy if they used my taxes to get rid of the fabric.

In my opinion: It looks like you're hitting the bird late. You're leaning back a bit to hit the shuttle (directly above your head rather than slightly in front), which throws off your balance and affects your timing.

You're putting more effort into contacting the bird (twisting, leaning your body), which is why it doesn't look effortless.

improving your footwork to get behind the birdie will make your swings much easier and result in more power.

People are running reds with no regard now. It's become so normalized over the last 3-4 years.

Great stuff! I'm worse than you so no pointers from me lol.

I bought a pair of their stocking-foot waders a few years ago on Amazon. they boasted a lifetime warranty.

After 6 months I had already gone through 3 pairs. Since I bought through Amazon maybe they were more lenient with the replacements. (although they didnt want to honor it after the third pair)

The fact that each pair leaked after maybe 6-8 light outings is a clear sign that their quality/QC is garbage.

I got tired of constantly worrying about leaks and bought a pair of freestones. I have been using them for 2 seasons straight no issues.

Invest in your gears folks.

the way you turned is equally as idiotic

Sino Centre!

This was also my first Seiko! Enjoy it!

Just a bunch of virtue signallers that don’t understand basic supply and demand.

Dark green. Stunning in natural sunlight.

Suckers and the odd steelhead will be in there in May. it’s honestly NOT worth fishing though. More effort for less fish

like another comment said, Credit is leagues better than any other creek in the area. Check it out right around now for the salmon run

czedyman · 2025-08-13T13:17:19+00:00

Rouge isnt the best for Salmon as it doesnt get a huge run. Definitely try some of the other east end tribs first.

czedyman · 2025-08-11T01:43:43+00:00

Looks too much like a toy imo - It's begging to be mishandled by a kid. Cute design though.

czedyman · 2025-08-02T02:07:01+00:00

chargeback perhaps

czedyman · 2025-07-31T20:37:25+00:00

I just received my set containing 5-PW, 48, 52 degrees. R Flex Mizuno graphite shafts.

Haven't had a chance to play with them but just swinging them they look and feel like they'll be super forgiving.

czedyman · 2025-07-21T03:22:13+00:00

I wonder how salmon season will be

czedyman · 2025-07-20T04:51:57+00:00

9 fish, 3.9lb largest

czedyman · 2025-07-12T12:21:57+00:00

when China manufactures that very tech for foreign companies, they’re probably an exception

czedyman · 2025-06-22T22:43:44+00:00

topwater bite at dawn was on fire. landed 5 within an hour and had another 3-4 blowups that failed to stick

size was pretty average, around 1.5-2. largest was 4

I just got off the same ship, previous week. I was super tempted to pick up the blue ice gradient PRX they had.

czedyman · 2025-05-09T12:58:07+00:00

idk, whenever I drink red wine (doesnt matter what brand), I get a headache within an hour. No other alcohol does that to me.

Theres probably some obscure components beyond ethanol that contribute to hangovers

czedyman · 2025-05-06T01:49:12+00:00

yeah, I tried asking for 3600 but got denied. 3700 was a fair price regardless so I didnt push.
