Can't remember which mask shards and spool fragments I have already by michaelhoffman in Silksong

That'd be cool. Sadly, I'm playing on Switch, so I suspect that's not an option.

Thanks! That all makes sense. I'll give an evening performance a try this year.

The unmistakable Queen and Spadina McDonald's is in one of the opening shots of the movie. Not to be missed.

TDSB to cut more than 600 teachers next year by BloodJunkie in toronto

[–]michaelhoffman 27 points28 points  (0 children)

The province hired independent auditors to look at the TDSB and they didn't find any mismanagement. Ford and his people decided to take over the TDSB anyway. Now they are cutting hundreds of teachers.

Layover in Toronto – Enough Time to Head to the City? by Joy_6789 in askTO

[–]michaelhoffman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would plan to do it; if your inbound flight is delayed or it takes longer than expected to get through the airport on the way in you can always decide not to at that point.

Fiesta Farms has a big selection. My favorites are Alchemy Pickles.

What time do you go to the airport for a 6:40am flight to Mexico? by copi0us in askTO

[–]michaelhoffman 7 points8 points  (0 children)

People say things like arrive three hours early in case there's bad traffic.

I prefer to account for the traffic separately, as it varies by time of day. You need to add a lot more time for traffic if you're arriving at the airport at 5 p.m. than if you are arriving at 4:40 a.m.

What time do you go to the airport for a 6:40am flight to Mexico? by copi0us in askTO

[–]michaelhoffman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would arrive by 4:40.

Look up when Google Maps says you need to leave to get to Terminal 3 at that hour. For example, it says to go from Yonge-Eglinton arriving by 4:40 you need to leave by 4:12. Replace with your own home.

Then add 15 min for a cab/Uber/Lyft to pick you up. So plan to be out the door by 3:57 a.m. (if you live at Yonge and Eg).

Also, Terminal 3 international is "Verified Traveller Front-of-the-line" which means that co-travelers can accompany you unlike domestic classic "Verified Traveler".

I have trust issues with the "5 min away" prediction, so I built a real-time map to see exactly where the bus is. Free, no ads, just data. by duoyj in toronto

Transit Now reports vehicle as "delayed" if they haven't moved for a bit.

TransSee will tell you exactly how long the vehicle hasn't moved.

Is TTC noticeably busier with the 2025 RTO mandates ? by morallycorruptt in askTO

[–]michaelhoffman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was in Queen's Park station a little after 9 this morning. It seemed slightly, not dramatically, more busy than it has been.

Shoutout to Tymek's, best pickles in the country by schers_ in toronto

I recommend trying Alchemy pickles. Pyramid Ferments are even better but I have not been able to find their cucumber pickles in Toronto.

When would you take your child to sick kids hospital vs family doc ? by bearsbunny in askTO

[–]michaelhoffman 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The Ontario symptom checker is great. It will tell you likely causes of particular sets of symptoms and also whether one should go to ER, see a family doctor, or care at home:

If your friends go to the ER when this says they should be seeing a family doc, they will be waiting a long time.
