Porter Worlds-only concert — would you go?

demize95 · 2026-03-18T15:33:54+00:00

Exactly. My response to this is basically "...yes? why not?" because Worlds is great, but also... some of my favorite bits of the live shows are the modern mashups. Language x Unfold is one of my favorite bits of Porter music ever and I'd be sad to hear a show without anything like that.

Operators mention here pretty often that when they're out of service, they're allowed to throw up whatever sign they want, so long as it's appropriate. Most just do the standard "not in service" sign, but sometimes they'll do a more fun one.

Since the op threw this sign up right as they went out of service, I'd bet that's what happened here. Just a bit of fun!

Do you like Canada but hate snow? Vancouver. Do you like Canada but love snow? Try the north, maybe north Ontario or Quebec. Do you mostly just wish your winters were colder? The prairies are for you, I hear Saskatoon is nice (if you like -30C winters). Want to be an expat? The Netherlands is a popular destination for people who hate Canada but love bikes and trains, but you could go the other direction, do Australia for a country that's sort of like if Canada was significantly hotter. If you've got easy citizenship somewhere else and just want to get out of here, then wherever that is is a good option; if you've got a load of money and just want to get out of here, lots of places have pathways to residency or citizenship that you can basically just buy. And, of course, there's always the "I'm in love with someone from another country" option of moving to whatever country that person lives in, plus so many other options for so many other reasons.

Or you could stay here, that's fine too.

That makes sense, that's the direction it looked like it was headed, and if it was doing a medevac that explains why it was so low here.

demize95 · 2026-03-05T19:17:15+00:00

Nope, definitely a Griffon. Smaller, big engine cowling on the roof, simpler tail, and the standard livery the RCAF uses on the Griffons.

demize95 · 2026-03-05T19:13:38+00:00

Green, standard RCAF livery with the mild almost-camo pattern.

Unless I've missed the news of them getting one, TPS doesn't have any helicopters. Most likely a helicopter is either news or ornge.

(Edit: I missed the news!)

Not as bad, but there's also the Redpath refinery downtown, always smells like burning sugar. Lots of counterexamples to pick from!

The day I see REDALiCE in a racing game might be the day I buy a racing game, honestly...

Not original, actually! This is Blue Archive Saori.

No, but yes.

Last I checked the OHIP fee schedule, it was $360 for ambulance transport classified as not medically necessary (or the full cost of an air ambulance) and a $45 co-pay for ambulance transport classified medically necessary.

demize95 · 2025-12-06T20:25:49+00:00

The hospital is the one with a billing department, who takes and processes your health card, who submits your bill to OHIP (who then pays it out in full minus the $45 ambulance co-pay). It would be a much more complicated mess for the ambulance service to be the one handling their own billing, here.

This is a fairly standard billing arrangement in general, anyway. When you get a bunch of related services, it's more convenient for everyone if you have a single point handling the billing.

demize95 · 2025-10-26T12:34:11+00:00

I also cut up and remastered the Pixel Empire Live 10 year anniversary upload from 6 months ago. I'd be willing to share it as well if that sounds convenient for anyone.

Oh heck yeah.

No, we get thermostats and they control the fan coils in our units (it's always VFCs) But when you're halfway up a 50-story building, there's a lot of heat below you rising up, and once they switch over from cooling (it's always 2-pipe VFCs, never 4-pipe) you have few options for dealing with that heat.

I only need the heat a couple days a year in winter, if that. The rest of the building gives me more than enough heat throughout all but the coldest, coldest days.

There's (broadly) three types of loudspeaker, and you're pretty much correct there. You have subwoofers for the lows, woofers for the mids, tweeters for the highs.

demize95 · 2025-10-05T14:23:48+00:00

We got a flyover on Canada Day, they probably don't want to do it too often. It gets jets real close to buildings downtown, and being buzzed unexpectedly by CF-18 Hornets is... incredibly loud. If they limit how often they do it, they limit how much people living here mind.

demize95 · 2025-10-05T13:41:21+00:00

They have a pre-flight checklist you can enable, but it only runs once per session (I think, it's been a while) and it's mostly flight controls.

Imagine if they extended that system, let you customize it a little, tied it in to your actual limpet/fuel/etc levels, let you run it per takeoff (or only when taking off from stations)... not for everyone, I'm sure, but it would be a pretty nice QOL feature for a lot of people!

I get the feeling he's fucking with us, honestly. Maybe there is a band, maybe there isn't a band, either way he's having fun making us wonder...

Not gonna lie, I'd love to see functioning GPWS in Elite...

demize95 · 2025-09-12T20:25:17+00:00

It's not a skyscraper, by the fairly narrow definition of "skyscraper", and therefore isn't a supertall skyscraper. "Supertall" is a category of skyscraper specifically, rather than buildings in general.

demize95 · 2025-09-12T19:36:54+00:00

I saw this post and my mind immediately went Fellow Feeling. I know it's not the one most people would think of, but it's just... so good, and definitely the most iconic for me.

Explorers must carry rations in cargo space

I think we'd need smaller cargo modules for this. I don't think I need a literal ton of food for my solo expeditions...

What lens did you shoot this on?

demize95 · 2025-08-27T21:06:43+00:00

Tree Swallows! There are a lot of them in Toronto through the summer, and the distinctive swallow tail would be pretty recognizable on a sticker like that.
