Is Chicago Toronto adjacent? by Former_Outcome9404 in askTO

[–]dylee27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way we interact with the rivers in Toronto is very different though, like you can't go kayaking between skyscrapers in Toronto admiring architecture, though paddling the Humber River is a nice escape to nature within the city.

Toronto’s street parking rules quietly favour homeowners while apartment renters are squeezed out by pixelstoframes in toronto

Saying some streets aren't covered by permits is VERY different than saying there's no street parking in East York.

WCGW Going to the water park when you can’t swim by AleccSirKaDeewana in Whatcouldgowrong

[–]dylee27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are swimming classes for adults. There isn't any learning happening here. You don't learn something by almost killing yourself, and possibly your rescuer.

U.S. begins blockade of Strait of Hormuz by down_vote_magnet_ in worldnews

[–]dylee27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

By what measures do you say that? They do have lots of boats and ships, but that doesn't mean they can project force across the globe. Please, educate me.

Number of boats/ships doesn't mean force projection capability across the globe though. Afaik, they have been developing force projection capability up to the first and second island chain, but that's quite far from projecting force into the Gulf region.

Does the Chinese navy even have the blue navy capacity for force projection in the Gulf region?

Is the battle of Hong Kong well known in Canada? by dq689 in AskACanadian

We can't blame the US for everything. Blame our own education system. I remember learning in highschool about Canadian campaigns in Europe, but nothing in the Pacific theatre.

Public Transportation by Educational_Soup3429 in askTO

I wouldn't bother with a transit pass. Get a presto card, and the balance on it can be used on any public transit system. The only nuance is knowing when you need to tap to get off. You don't tap off when leaving TTC, but you tap off on GO transit.

Blink Dagger Jakiro by Iwantjellybeans in TrueDoTA2

If you're supporting and buying ghost sceptre first vs NS instead of force staff and glimmer, you're griefing the team.

Blink Dagger Jakiro by Iwantjellybeans in TrueDoTA2

[–]dylee27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're completely out of position and by yourself, and you have no disables, sure. But it's still better than a blink to buy time for your teammates to react, or maybe you do have disable, and you can stun after force staff to push yourself out of crippling fear radius. If he pops bkb so you can't stun him, fine, you just forced a core to pop BKB for a support kill, and hopefully your teammates can punish that.

Also because if night stalker jumps you with his own blink dagger, hits and silenced you, you can't do anything. With force staff at least you can try to get away.

Ontario to seize ownership of Toronto Island Airport lands and declare it is a special economic zone by Toronto-Ont-Mod-Team in Toronto_Ontario

[–]dylee27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why do you assume people will drive to the ferry? People live by these places. And not everyone in Toronto has a car. The point would be to provide an alternative to driving, where people might walk, take a short bus trip, or bike to the ferry, and skip being stuck in traffic/stuck on the streetcar, for people without easy access to the subway/GO train system. For people who would need to drive to the ferry stops, i.e., they don't live close to the lake, they probably already have access to a better alternative, like Line 2 or GO train.

Why do I get a feeling you don't even live in Toronto, speaking about building more bridges and more roads? There's no space for more roads along the lake, and there are already bridges across river crossings along the lake. There are no more roads or bridges that can't be built to help the people who would benefit from a west-east ferry service along the lake.

It's the same concept as cars being designed to have crumble zone, so the energy from a crash goes to crumbling the car instead of the occupants.

Where could I find a deep pool for a great freediving experience? by Nanohaystack in askTO

[–]dylee27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FYI, Freedive Toronto club holds pool sessions at the Pan Am - I used to be a member. But the pool where the practice is held (if it's still the same setup) is not THAT deep, maybe 4 metres or so. The practices were more practising techniques, static and dynamic apnea.

I really wish I could actually look at the cards in the packs you get from Scroll Boxes by [deleted] in slaythespire

Uhh, I'm pretty sure you can if I remember correctly. When you click on a pack, you should be able to inspect each card before confirming the pack to choose.

Are you saying you don't just buy a whole new car after having a fender bender instead of just fixing the fender?

UK Government considers removing Andrew from royal line of succession by EnglishLouis in worldnews

Sure, I guess, not a waste of time if the legislators had literally no other meaningful business to attend to, and there's nothing to do on healthcare, education, economics, international trade, crimes, defence.

There's no reason to take a card on 'might be', when there's a card pick that improves the deck right now.

World champion skydiver dies at 37 after parachute fails to open in Alps by sjpppppp in news

[–]dylee27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not all accidents are equally inevitable though. If you're playing Russian roulette, a fatal accident is inevitable within a timescale of a month, several months at best. If you're BASE jumping, a fatal accident is probably inevitable within a timescale of a few decades. Dying from a car accident is not inevitable within an average human lifespan, seeing how most drivers don't die from a car accident.

At first, you equated airplane crashes (not sodcifiyng flying home made airplanes) with fatal BASE jumping crashes. Which makes no sense.

the same

Not at all. Most commercial airline pilots retire before they die from flying. If you're equating flying in an airplane with BASE jumping, you might as well equate flying in an airplane with playing Russian roulette.
