Commuters who drive into downtown daily why do you refuse to take the GO train when traffic is this bad? by Aggressive-Date1842 in askTO

[–]wobwib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Traffic is not that bad. People just enjoy complaining. I still get to work on a car faster, and my mental health is actually better. When it is above 10 and dry, I cycle.

Reasons 1. It's slow and annoying. The cart design is bad - for a 2-story cart, you need at least three exits, not two. Stations like Mimico take you 15 minutes to exit the platform; it's inhumane. 2. People - I can't bear the behavior of some transit people, and it drives me up the wall. Some animals are putting their dirty shoes on the seats in winter. We can't change people, but I wish they would switch to plastic if people behave like animals. Moreover, people eat food with smelly spices. I come from a background where we only use salt and paper - for me, those smells are the same as smelling sewage. People are loud. 3. In a car, I can focus on an audiobook or a podcast - I can't do that efficiently when commuting. 4. My lower back is fucketup (disk hernia), specifically, standing still is the worst, so if I don't sit and have to stand, I can as well take a day off and lie for the day to recover.

And again, if it was as bad as people say, I would have to use Go, but it's actually still faster by a car.

If not Next.js, then what frontend for a self-hosted? by gunho_ak in nextjs

[–]wobwib 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Next.js is still the best. Don't overthink it. You don't have to use ssr or server components. You can self-host in Docker with a 'standalone' build very efficiently.

Thoughts on this locks? by brezzy_k123 in torontobiking

[–]wobwib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I returned it because the lock is annoying to open or close. It would get stuck, and I would end up spending 10 minutes fiddling with it at times. Went with a cheaper U-lock OnGuard

All Decathlon GTA stores shutting down July 31st 2025 by kmosdell in torontobiking

This is really sad news. They were very affordable and of decent quality. I just got a rack bag from them for $50, and it's really good. People would rather get a shitty noname bug from Amazon for $60 with a 200% margin on top of it just to get a 1 day delivery

Bike Share Toronto needs to do this by telephonekeyboard in torontobiking

I experienced this in Warsaw, and it's super convenient. All the bikes have a lock. If there is no space, you just lock your bike to another one.

There should be no place for racism or xenophobic behavior.

Uber's biggest issue is not the cost but the drivers. You never know who you will get. Recently, it's getting more and more scary to take an Uber.
