I can't taste anything thanks to my cold so I had Pizza Pizza for dinner because it's cheap and close.

So that's what it's for.

Guess which LRT is down this morning?

THE TTC!

Fuck...should've stayed home

Edit: fuck this. Going back to work from home. At least I'll be there for when Purolator should deliver my Package, right? D:

I would bang a hot farmer!

What are you going to do for the half decade between the SRT shutting down and the subway replacement? Have fun on those buses. :lol

Not bitter, just unsweetened
it only works in the LRT plan they had with ROW

that way it essentially would function like a surface subway

thanks rob ford for killing transit city... not.

Honestly, these new streetcars are the fucking worst. I'm not even a tall dude and there is still not enough leg room when you're sitting face to face (basically scissoring them) with someone on these streetcars. I will actually make the effort to take an older one instead if it's anywhere nearby when I'm waiting on Spadina.

I thought the same thing. I'm just short enough not to have to bend down, but I'm close enough where I'm thinking about how low it is. Spacing is a major issue for the new streetcars as well. The aisles inbetween the seats (see the far back of the photo) offer only enough room for one way traffic. And people are clueless about how to move about a normal streetcar when it's packed.

I just hope the Purolator account stops spamming the same shit in every post or else I'll look into getting it banned.

Man go trains are slow. Like the subway feels so much faster in terms of the speed the train moves at. Also takes a while for it to get to top speed.

Smooth ride though.

GO Trains are like 50x heavier than subway trains, so it takes time to accelerate. They go 120 km/h during long stretches, though, and subways top out at 65 km/h I think. Travel distances are insanely different, too.

Yea, I'm interested see how this plays out.

I never sit down; the seats are too gross and the crowd who need to sit down often look potentially incontinent. Years back (in Oshawa iirc) I sat in a mystery liquid on a seat. Tossed out the pants. Never again.

I'm hoping I'll either be working with Rinoa or my company moves the location, which it is planning to do, or I'll be forced to drive, or I'll just have to get up a lot earlier.

Anyways, game finally here, it's hunting time. I need it after today. Emailed question to dev, wait all day, get an answer and then asks me the same damn questions to answers I had already provided in the first email... :<
 
SO tempted to get Monster Hunter but I really would rather have the regular n3DS and not the XL...

The normal n3DS will probably never come over here so might as well bite the bullet and get an XL. Besides, you can always trade in an XL for it if hell froze over and NOA got their head out of their asses.

What line was this lol. Richmond Hill line makes the subway feel like any bus on Eglinton.

Lakeshore West. There were times when it got going to a decent speed, but even then it felt... slow. As in, not as fast as it should. Plus the train had to crawl in and out of every station. Its the only Go Train I've been on, so I don't know what the other lines are like. Pretty sure electric trains accelerate faster, so that might be why the subway gets going much quicker, but I'm not sure.

I broke down and bought the XL since I think that there's maybe a 10% chance (next FY, when they need a boost) that the regular size one will come here. I'll do a system transfer and drop the XL like a bad habit. Thing is way too big, heavy, and makes my hands cramp in a way the OG 3DS never did.

Food and games?!?! D:

I'll...keep checking!

TTC also problem AGAIN with the SRT. Seems to have cleared up for now. So let's see if I get caught again like last time...in the subway with no reception and a garbled message -_-
 
I was wondering why the subway was so packed when I got off at Yonge bloor station at around 8:05.

I haven't been keeping up with the kardashians here (that's Toronto gaf). Rinoa what building so you work at that includes food and games and why aren't we all working there.

I tried playing Kid Icarus, the grip for the left stick and shoulder button is physically painful.

I'm speaking about the n3DS XL, as a clarification.

I hate (the size and lack of comfort of) it. :( I even consider myself to have normal- to large-sized hands.

But I sold my OG 3DS last year after finishing ALBW, realizing nothing could top that.

Building is waterpark place at 10 bay, there are like 4 towers connected there. It's the one right at the first southbound streetcar stop from union.

Coincidentally my husband works on the kardashian game lolo
