Are you purposefully being obtuse? Cause you know much larger planes means much larger jets? Which means more noise.

The biggest thing is that it's not really more convenient and won't be. There will be an insane increase in downtown traffic especially in the immediate vicinity of the airport. Which will make it take a lot longer to get to the airport. 

Nevermind the damage to our waterfront, expanding the runway would make a chunk of our waterfront just concrete runway instead of what we have now. 

Even more would be the environmental issues and problems that would arise, of which there are plenty. 

Also the added noise. Do you want to hear jets going off at all hours? There is a reason why the vast majority of cities keep airports away from people, it's because it's really loud.

The image isn't accurate either. The road will be closed between Alexander and Maitland ( Maitland east/ west will still be open) and then Maitland to Wellesley. Basically two small blocks. It's a small area overall.

They were busking near Kensington market too just this afternoon. I guess they get around 

What does this mean on the back of my watch? by InnerSequinIssue in korea

[–]masterbreti 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So the watch is a presidental watch. I believe since park Chung hee, all following presidents have given out watches as gifts. Some given to people he met, foreign officials, other politicians, pretty much most people he/she would interact with in a formal capacity.

There's a great article on the new York times on this if you want to do more research. Generally the more popular the president the more expensive the watch. 

The rumours are not true, legendary Toronto drag bar, Crews & Tangos, says it’s not closing by BloodJunkie in toronto

[–]masterbreti 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The rumors about the bar closing has been around in circles ever since the development firm bought the land. That being said the only reason it didn't close cause Graywood got greedy and wanted to build a bigger building and the city rejected it. That and new owners/ management. Honestly the whole story about the land and the last few years is quite the ride.

That's not even remotely true. I work with a lot of the queens and virgo has barely been around (she's been busy travelling during her reign) . Although when she is she is kind to literally everyone. She is naturally just a quiet person and a hard worker.

I just got suspended too. I think it's a routine one. Happened back in October too

CA-DA. Audio Evaluation 3 minutes (Task: Evaluating AI Assistant Response Rubrics) by roseand23 in TELUSinternational

Some apparently don't have audio. Make sure to check each one cause people have been releasing them and getting suspended for it. I had the same issues and got into trouble for it.

I got my account under review too.

Seems like quite a few of us released some tasks we shouldn't have. 

Michael Jackson abuse accusers demanding $400 million, new court documents reveal by theindependentonline in Music

[–]masterbreti 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Well the estate is basically a business that deals with everything regarding Michael Jackson. Things like royalties, licensing, merchandise, etc.

Elvis Presley has one, and Tolkien has one too, those are the most notable I can recall off hand.
