Well, that's that for the defending champ's season. Good effort, fairly entertaining most of the game including some great blocks for both sides. But Liberty are back in the Finals. #WNBA

I was a little tempted to run out to find out who it was so I could make a #WNBA friend.

Of course, the train would go from Toronto to Quebec City, not just across part of Toronto. It would also be much more comfortable and faster to take, and actually reduce traffic instead of inducing more of it, and enable so much more economic productivity potential.

It looks like Rogers does offer fibre to our house now, up to 1.5 gigabit down and 50 mb up. A pleasant surprise. Bell still does not. I'm not switching to Rogers, or Bell, but that is half the equation. We just need TekSavvy to use that infrastructure like they do their cable. The other […]

My real hope is still that with some of the CRTC rulings, one of the giants will put in the fibre infrastructure and then we could get it through TekSavvy. But who knows if or when that will happen.

For as much as this season has done very little for me, that line was a welcome bit of Tolkien-y wisdom.

Regarding the "unspecified Linux vulnerability" that the author has been "hyping the shit out of" (their words) all week - It's accidentally leaked, due to an unpaid open source maintainer making a boo boo. It's in CUPS, a printing subsystem. It isn't Linux specific. CUPS isn't faced much to […]

So I emailed my local conservative MPP about their project to ban new bike lanes in Toronto. This was shared in the news as "may be" but for sure it's happening, they already have all their talking points ready. All the same tired bad arguments: -We […] [Original post on jasette.facil.services]

We will agree to disagree again. As | write this, the Mayor is being interviewed about the traffic congestion in downtown Toronto. It's so bad, it's almost impossible to drive there, due in large part to bike lanes but also construction, congestion, etc.

If you walk down Willowdale Avenue in North York, you will see virtually empty bike lines. Sure, people on bikes carry more passengers than cars in theory, but only when people use the bike lanes. Certainly they don't on Willowdale Avenue. | am an avid cyclist but have no intention of cycling on Sheppard Avenue East when those bike lanes are completed. Ditto for all my cycling friends. It's just not safe. Traffic on Sheppard East is so congested now, | can't imagine what it will be like when the bike lanes are added. Also, we live in Canada - very few people cycle in the winter.

Ask a business owner on Bloor Street how many of those cyclist stop to buy something. Actually, most of those businesses are closing because of bike lanes (who can carry a 20kg bag of dog food on a bike?).

So there are lots of reason the province is on the right path on this issue.

Thanks again for reaching out.

I'm not going to be opposed if somebody has good advice to offer, but if I'm being honest I'm mostly posting this because I'm tired and annoyed.
