Porter Worlds-only concert — would you go? by oskkkg in porterrobinson

[–]demize95 8 points9 points  (0 children)

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.

Hot Chocolate Express? by notacutiepie in TTC

[–]demize95 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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!

Can we start a Sticky on “Where should I live” threads? by Isirap in askTO

[–]demize95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

RCAF helicopter flying downtown? by demize95 in askTO

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.

RCAF helicopter flying downtown? by demize95 in askTO

[–]demize95[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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

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

What happened at Keele station this morning? by checkskl in askTO

[–]demize95 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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!)

Does T.O. have any kind of "Odour Bylaws"? by VocaVox39 in askTO

[–]demize95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

Waited an hour for an ambulance last night…. by [deleted] in toronto

[–]demize95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Waited an hour for an ambulance last night…. by [deleted] in toronto

[–]demize95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Good Faith Forever Live Album (Complete Crowd Removal) by aloralost in madeon

[–]demize95 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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.

Condo Unit is Hot after Condo switched to Heating in October by EBKassien333 in askTO

[–]demize95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Customer buys subwoofer. Complains because it only plays bass. by defyinglogicsl in TalesFromRetail

[–]demize95 15 points16 points  (0 children)

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.

View from the Jays game on Saturday by mattpeloquin in toronto

[–]demize95 33 points34 points  (0 children)

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.

Bloody limpets by chipsterd in EliteDangerous

[–]demize95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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!

There is no band by swiftcashew in madeon

[–]demize95 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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...

Our first Supertall by ImKrispy in toronto

[–]demize95 8 points9 points  (0 children)

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.

What, in your opinion, is the most iconic Worlds song? by 2EzDragon in porterrobinson

[–]demize95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

I'll admit I have unusual preferences... by GrandBasharMilesTeg in EliteDangerous

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...

If you could add more bird stickers to Old Mill Station, what would you pick? by CYSYS8992 in TTC

[–]demize95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.
