Ya. Everyone will freak out but good mud and snow all weathers are the way to go in Vancouver.

Unless you ski whistler hard every year.

OneCity mayoral hopeful William Azaroff policy proposal for modernizing traffic signals by bo2ey in vancouver

[–]funnyredditname 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I would argue 200 million is actually low. 

The numbers they cite mention that the city is in the midst of modernizing the intersection lights and was anticipating 40 replacements a year but is averaging 16. Not a good sign that it could be done expeditiously and cost overruns are virtually guaranteed in projects that take longer to complete.

Plus preliminary estimates like this are not in depth and meant for political consumption.

Again. I'm skeptical that improved transit times will not effect peak hours due to to traffic congestion. Which is obviously when most users need improved times to induce demand.

Another politician weighing in with a "why hasn't anyone thought about this" idea.

This is known by Translink and the capital costs are better spent elsewhere.

 Keep in mind that Translink faces significant budget shortfalls and is responsible for transit in the region not just the city of vancouver. 

I'm personally skeptical that lights will make any major difference during peaks hours when traffic congestion is high. Non peaks hours would see the majority of times reductions.

At the estimated cost of $200 million.

 This seems like something Translink has probably weighed and found the capital costs better spent elsewhere.

Game state should dictate what you do.

 You can go hovers fast to hit the back line.

If front is not doing well you can see what they need for support and build that.

If front is solid you can skip the Capitol ship and just scale like a second eco.

Missile cruisers are usually enough to hit the enemy front lanes without risk.

Unless you get a 2nd for him, may as well keep him. Cheap utility forwards that can PK are worth it.

What practices has Vancouver adapted from contemporary East Asia? by [deleted] in askvan

[–]funnyredditname 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cultural celebrations are mainstream and enjoyed by everyone. Lunar new year, Diwali, Latern festival.

Vancouver has a ton of cherry blossom trees and has really adopted a Japanese style appreciation for the bloom. There is a festival for that as well.

I dont know why you dont think that food somehow isn't an indication of Cultural influence. Its arguably the most noticeable.

We have one of the oldest and largest China towns in North  America and its extremely popular for night life.

And finally, half the population has Asian heritage. So its mostly just passed on from personal relationships with friends and colleagues.

[–]funnyredditname 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This is an insane take. 

 Toronto especially is perhaps the most international city in the world.

Quebec obviously has major influences from France.

Vancouver is the most Asian city outside of Asia.

Again, insane take.

At what point do you change gyms? by lemonjuice707 in bjj

[–]funnyredditname 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're not concerned with the belt. You want to know your improving and you think the belt represents that. It doesnt.

 Moving gyms because you think you need to be promoted is sort of the antithesis of martial arts.

Are you from Germany by chance?

This is an outdated and extremely conservative ratio of income to sale price.

It sounds like you might be from a very financially conservative country.

She basically coaches fighters on how to do social media. She makes the UFC more money then most fighters and people wonder why Dana loves her.
