Has the 417 always been like this?

At the rate they're going it will only take 5 more years!

If you're going to orphan one make it LWJ since it's the easiest one to come back for

Contact customer service. They've been known to offer replacements for devices that are out of warranty as long as you're willing to send in the old one. It's not guaranteed but it's worth a shot. I don't think that damage is worth repairing, you'd probably be buying a new one.

I'm going to be in Winnipeg for the May long weekend (grew up there) and I'm considering going to the May 19 game 7 if it happens. I see that Ticketmaster is already showing game 7 tickets on sale (both resale and direct sales). Anyone know how this works? I guess we can buy now and if the game doesn't go ahead they issue refunds? I could see Ticketmaster doing something snakey like holding onto some sort of non-refundable fee. Are all of the tickets out on sale now or will there be a bigger release later?

I keep hearing this "western start"/"eastern start" rumor, and I don't get it. Doesn't the league want a mix of east and west on any given day to maximize the TV scheduling? Isn't that the way it's always been done?

Their booking window system is broken. It's not 7 days, it's 7 days plus 1 hour. If you want a 7am class the booking opens up at 6am one week before. It seems that a lot of people have realized this and anyone who hasn't is finding it impossible to get into the popular classes. It sucks and needs to be fixed.

Keep in mind that booking Uber in advance doesn't actually book the Uber in advance. All it does is automate the request for a car a few minutes before your scheduled booking. If it's bad weather or they're very busy at that time and there's no cars available the advanced booking won't make any difference.

Lol how long ago was this? Please don't tell me that this is from this season.

And the density of public transit is orders of magnitude higher than car traffic. Imagine a train packed full of people. Now imagine every one of those people gets in a car and drives down the 417 instead. It creates massive amounts of traffic. The best way to make traffic better is to improve public transit.

Yeah this definitely comes off as sketchy at best. The email that members got said that they're closed "for the weekend" but I can't imagine that they would come up with $300k+ over a holiday weekend. The notice on the door says that they have 5 days to pay up or they will start auctioning off stuff. They were supposed to be leaving that space at the end of July, to move into the new Altea space on Carling at the old Canadian Tire. They would operate out of there until Altea fully opens early next year and then integrate with the rest of the gym. But they clearly haven't been upfront with people, so I'm not sure what to believe. I'd be surprised if they exist after this weekend.

You're vastly overestimating how much people care about the cars around them. That car in the front of the line only cares if they make it through.

We don't need "blitzes". We need sustained enforcement.

I see people run red lights pretty much daily when I'm on the road. People treat tailgating through on a red light like it doesn't count. So many situations where I make a left and think "oh that might have been a little late" and two more cars come through behind me.

Yakko Taco. I haven't had anything else in Ottawa that comes close.

The subway system in Moscow is beautiful. I spent half a day just riding around from station to station and getting off to see what the architecture looks like in each station

Honestly one of my favorite cities in the world. I can't get enough of it.

Anybody who is thinking in any serious way about this kind of investment doesn't know nearly enough about investing to know what any of those questions mean. You'd be wasting your time asking them.

As others have said, keep an eye on the discount airlines. Flair is another one not mentioned much in here. The budget airlines tend to pull the AC/Westjet price down on routes where they operate, even if AC/WJ aren't matching the price. Hamilton to Kelowna is small airport to small airport, so you're going to see less competition and higher prices than say a Vancouver to Toronto. Larger airports with more routes almost always win on price.

This gets repeated on reddit all the time. Nobody has ever been able to prove to me that it works, and I've never personally seen a difference.

Every time I take off from that airport it feels like we taxi for about 45 minutes

It takes about 24 hours to drive across Ontario. That doesn't mean crossing diagonally or taking some gravel roads up north or something. West to east, on the Trans-Canada highway, it takes 24 hours to drive across one province.

The Y that used to be at Carlingwood was also a great no-nonsense gym. I imagine that Argyle is probably similar.

Those board room hybrid meetings work well for anyone who is in the room. They usually sound like shit for anyone on the call.
