$200 monthly passes in time for 2020. What a time to be alive.
We're getting to that point, aren't we. Might just by a street bike to travel downtown if I need to.
What happened? Can you give a summary of the incident?

Ah, yeah I remember reading this one. Fuck this kind of drivers specially those who keep honking their horns.

Everything goes great with soju and fried chicken.
Man, people like this should lose their license for years. But even in DUI where you kill someone, we basically just give a slap on the wrist. Driving isn't some sort of protected right. You should lose it if you can't be trusted to operate a vehicle safely.
Dammit, Quad...! Answer the man...!
It'd be nice to try and definitely attract some people to the library. From what I've seen though, there are too many tech demos and experiences (which might be more suited for limited sessions at a library) and not enough full games I'd play. I considered the PSVR and the Vive, but the PSVR is still sorting things out and the Vive takes up a lot more space than I realized.
Actually just found out we have this popping up: VR at Scarborough Civic Centre Library No news on any other location. We're just finalizing the 2016 budget at my job currently.
I saw an interesting invoice with current generation video games purchased. If you're curious PM me and I'll share what I know. The quantities don't add up to a lending collection sadly.
Rejection letter is better than nothing at all, at least you know they read it or at the very least they glanced at it.

Scarberia?!?! No, thanks.
At least you got a...

Glad I bought a car. TTC is trash.
True. I still find it a bit ridiculous.
Yeah, it's weirdly comforting (in a sense) to receive a rejection letter because at least they looked at your resume and thought about you.
Edit: Also, how did y'all survive today's cold? Either it wasn't as bad as it seemed, or I actually bundled up properly.
I got a fleece hoodie last year for Christmas, but only had the chance to wear it today. And just for the sake of being prepared, I wore an overcoat on top. It was super toasty, so I eventually just wore the hoodie. It's pretty great.

I once again walked along the street from west of Bay on Adelaide to King station instead of taking the PATH because it was nice out. I guess it would be shorter for me to walk to St Andrew instead but I like the walk to King so I go that way.
My favorite was always:
Hi I'm calling to see if you've decided who to hire yet?
Nope not yet.
Okay thanks.

Hello
The position has been filled
It was only 'bad' if you were on a windy street. Otherwise it was just fine. Managed with simply layers, didn't have to put on anything super heavy.
I prefer to not hearing anything at all, as annoying as it is.
TTC on verge of being top in North America.
I know the competition isn't exactly fierce, but now that the '5 year plan' is coming to a close, we're going to be hearing a lot more from the previously reasonable Byford on why the TTC is amazing.

Edit: finally going to see Rogue One soon. At Yonge/Eglinton and it's really different from the last time I was here. Went to a really fantastic Italian place called La Vecchio and now at a French cafe called Douce France. La Vecchio had some fantastic tomato sauce based pasta dishes (I find almost every place overseasons the hell out of them and makes them too zesty). Douce France has this hot chocolate that's more like melted chocolate and the desserts here are incredible. I'm not a fan of flan but this place has an amazing flan. Also quite a bit of goods from France here too.
Obligatory MUH BLOOD SUGAR....!!! HNNNGGGGGGHHHH!

Are Metropasses still around?
Yeah my husband and I still use those only. It's annoying when they combine the metropass turnstile/entrances with the presto ones now though, which means 90% of the time it's broken.
Yes. Token, passes and tickets will be around until the end of 2017. They are also planning to introduce metropass on presto this year.
Thank you <3
On another note my power has been out for about 30 minutes. It's going to bloody cold tonight so I'm hoping it comes back soon.

but wifi in the tunnels won't be until 2018 so how can utopia be this year?
I actually switched to presto and prefer it. I never used my metropass enough to justify the cost but I never wanted to carry around tokens and shit. Presto is a good middle ground. Any time I work from home or there's a long weekend or whatever I save money. Presto wasnt working other day on the bus and boom saved 3 bucks there
. Worked from home the next day and that's 6 bucks saved. It's not perfect though.

It's cold
I have a Presto card because I always forget to buy tokens and even when I have them I always leave them in the wrong jacket. I don't take the TTC near enough to make a Metropass worth it and since I'm usually just taking a streetcar the Presto is pretty convenient (with auto-reload).
And as an added bonus, whenever the Presto readers on the streetcar are down it's a free ride!
Sometimes I doubt anyone pays their ride on streetcar.
What do you mean you're "still trying"? Order one from the website.

Yeah about a month ago, I tried to get a presto card from a subway station but I tried three different stations throughout the day and they were all out of stock somehow. I ended up getting one from the website.

In Asia, you could get these types of cards at any convenience store...and you could use the cards there...and you could recharge them there...and it literally took seconds to recharge...and the stations that took money for fares always worked...
Presto...? At least it made it here but I've personally seen and heard enough about how shoddy it is.
It's definitely shoddy. I mean why the hell it takes 24 hours to reload the funds? And sometimes it takes more than that. WTF?
I haven't had any problems with auto-reload. I get that people may not want to give up their credit card info like that but with so many of the reload kiosks having problems I just decided to go with it.
I lost my Presto card -_-
They did say this is happening right? By 2018 I think?

Those presto boxes clearly work with NFC because any time I'm even standing close to it my iphone's apple pay triggers. So yeah just let us pay with our cards.

Pfft. Who uses cards for anything? What do you think we live in some future world where machines can just scan cards to process payments?
It takes ~24 hrs to load it online but it's instant through one of those machine (that's always out of service) and through the booth/kiosk thing in person.
If you have a pre-set payment method where it automatically adds a predetermined amount everything the card loads hit below a certain amount, this one is instant as well. I can't remember if you need to have it re-load at least once before it instantly goes through. I had a problem with this once where it re-loaded my card twice.
