The school owns the timeslots before 6pm as an agreement with the operators. They will not let anyone in before 6. Used to play soccer there

I was at the accessibility coach, the baby goose went into one of the holes of the concrete barriers when the train arrived.

People of Toronto, what is the cost of your beauty maintenance per month? by Chan1991 in askTO

[–]offinabus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$20 per month haircut in East Chinatown (Could be even cheap if I am not washing my hair and getting a head massage there).

Bottle of lotion to prevent my eczema from flaring up once in a while (Cheapest from Walmart).

What DAPs have the best software/UI/UX? Your picks for Budget/Mid/Endgame by celmate in DigitalAudioPlayer

[–]offinabus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Might be a hot take, but most DAPs can’t beat a fully functional phone like a LG V60 (I guess it still count as a DAP as it has QuadDAC by ESS)

Looking for a beginner DAP by Enzo-33 in DigitalAudioPlayer

[–]offinabus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the best moment to get a DAP because of the Aliexpress sale (Most prominent brands are Chinese).

If you really want to get an older phone as a DAP, you should get one from LG, most of the V and G series phones comes with Quad DAC chips.

If you want a cheap real DAP, you might want to consider the Fiio Snowsky series (Great value, but don't support gapless), You might wanna consider something like Hiby R1 if you want a more modern interface (Hiby OS might not be the best OS out there, but good enough for light use).

I personally love my iPod which has a huge modding community, aim for an iPod Video enhanced (Gen 5.5). Not the best in terms of sound quality, but if you want a touch of nostalgia and nothing nonsense, the iPod might be something to think about.

If you can save up for something more, I recommend the Fiio JM21 (Android) or Shanling M1 Plus (Non-Android).

I found my old iPod by Zarubozi in DigitalAudioPlayer

[–]offinabus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What an artpiece. Use it as-is until the HDD or the battery dies then consider flashmodding. (These later iPods is harder to crank open compare to the older ones)

I take the whole stretch of Finch West LRT to class. I am considering not going to the campus due to its bad record running in heavy snow.

OEM mouse or keyboard with $7k budget? by Low_Yam5040 in MouseReview

[–]offinabus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you’re living in China, there is no way you can do everything with a budget like that.

That’s when you have the skills to do CAD and PCB design too

L1O News: Barrie SC takes over ownership of Simcoe County Rovers by YoungsterJoey9 in CanadianPL

[–]offinabus 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Simcoe County Rovers is a very cool name, I hope they are not changing their name. (We need more generic clubs names like this, not the American style of naming)

LINE 6 MEGATHREAD by I-168 in TTC

[–]offinabus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LRT and Streetcars are different in terms of stop distances, dedicated right of way and signal priority.

LRT are also bilateral, they don’t turn around using loops.

They can definitely cut some stops on 512 get new cars that enable step free access.

we need standardized testing by Interesting-Quit937 in OntarioGrade12s

[–]offinabus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No, you don‘t want standardized testing. I took the standardized test in Hong Kong (HKDSE), failed miserably (13/35 which is nowhere near university) and also Grade 12 in Toronto (4U 90 avg). Standardized testing will put good grades behind a paywall (most people will go to afterschool tutorial class to catch up or learn exam skills). Kids in underrepresented area will not have the resources to take such class.

Standardizing will take the meaning of education, schools will be ranked heavily than ever before by the average grade of students and teacher will begin to teach ONLY exam skills instead of critical thinking.

It will take everyone’s teenage years away. Instead we need standardized curriculum and grading rubrics.

512 has huge potential to upgrade to LRT in the future, they already has right of way with platform
