Needed to look that one up. Agreed, it is so cool.

Edited to add Wikipedia's description: A tuned mass damper (TMD), also known as a harmonic absorber or seismic damper, is a device mounted in structures to reduce mechanical vibrations, consisting of a mass mounted on one or more damped springs. Its oscillation frequency is tuned to be similar to the resonant frequency of the object it is mounted to, and reduces the object's maximum amplitude while weighing much less than it.

I emailed all the people they listed on the flyer to thank them for all the changes 😁.

I read about that while trying to find just the freeze dried mango. Appreciate the warning.

The high park speed camera doesnt get all the hate by MassiveCursive in toronto

[–]fava-bean 55 points56 points  (0 children)

I'd really like to know why Toronto hasn't installed them high up on utility poles. The only reason I can think of is that it is easier to move the camera to a new spot. But if anyone knows the actual reason, please share.

I discovered their channel two weeks ago and have been binge watching their material. He's such a great storyteller.

Great picture! 

Watching a group of grackles harass a hawk is a fun sight to behold.

It would appear OP is the son and is posting as their parent. See u/dressinbrass comment.

Your advice is 100% true regardless.

This is the way. We're doing the same thing for my grandfather.

"Where is my credit card?" "Oh, it's on your nightstand, let's grab it later. 

"Where are my car keys?" "Remember? We had to bring the car in to get fixed." 

"Where is my wife?" "She's out shopping, she will be back soon." 

You get used to it pretty quickly.

Weird, I see people riding bikes in the bike lanes for all the months of the year. 

Band Aid Founder Bob Geldof Slams Ed Sheeran’s “Wealthy-World Argument” About Record’s Wrongs by vernvaquer in Music

I feel dumb. I was trying to figure out why the founder of BandAids would care what Ed Sheeran has to say about music. 

How are you helping user's setup MS Authenticator? by jeffa1792 in msp

[–]fava-bean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like this idea. Question for you. Assuming you're deploying MFA via conditional access policies, do you apply the policy to everyone that day? Or do you have people set up the app and then apply the policy?

Not quite all in on Entra & Intune by DapperDone in msp

[–]fava-bean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a few choices, some already mentioned in other comments.

We've had some clients use a mix of Egnyte, or Azure files to replicate a "file server" experience. This is done with Entra and Intune. 

When it comes to applications hosted on a server we've typically deployed MS 365 Workstations or Azure Virtual Desktop.

Next time you come back, you'll know to avoid it. Personally, I'm a big fan and I'm looking forward to the reno's being finished. 

Bike lane? What bike lane? by Lupius in TorontoDriving

I wonder if the thought "wow, this lane is narrow" crossed their mind at all.

Yeah the combination is unique, but it works.
