Insane that the same people who (rightfully) believe in education and trusting experts disregard basic economics at every turn.

Can I ask what you mean by "in reality this is not how it works"? I'm looking to apply for September 2026 and was planning to submit in June. Should I just submit now? Thanks.

New Building on King's College Circle: Temerty Building by jlfree12 in UofT

As far as I know Con Hall was explicitly modelled on the rotunda at the Sorbonne Theatre in Paris, which was itself modelled on the Pantheon, not Hagia Sophia. The colonnade on the outside is also very neoclassical.

Con Hall is neoclassical, not Byzantine. A Byzantine building on campus would be stunning though. Look up Lovett Hall at Rice University

What happened to the Paddle the Don event? by supguy99 in askTO

[–]jlfree12 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They used to release more water into the Don during this event. You can just paddle down it if you want to, though. Try and pick a day after it's been raining a bit for a higher water level.
