man garlic aioli or béchamel are amazing on fries also the Toronto streetcar is quaint but stupid. when we were there we gave up and walked a lot. we would have Bixi'd more but my partner had recently stuck a wheel in a decommissioned train siding back home in Chicago and wasn't really in riding shape I should go back, it's a really quick and cheap flight from Midway to Billy Bishop via porter, and the loonie is doing miserable compared to the American Dollar

I'm from [small, densely populated island country]. Why even bother owning a car when you can bloody well bicycle to work and walk downstairs to the pub? Why doesn't America just outlaw guns? Why doesn't America just have a 100% national police force? Why doesn't America put CCTV cameras on every street in the country? Pip pip, pass the cucumber sandwiches, old bean, what!

the distance from my favorite bar was weighed very heavily when deciding where to buy a house also i weighed heavily the fact that this place is very close to a CTA ’L’ station and very close to a bus line that goes southeast to The Loop through Chinatown and very close to a north/south bound bus line also close to a bunch of marked and protected bike lanes that i can take directly to work without going on a single unmarked lane yeah transit weighed quite heavily despite the fact that i have a car and a 2-car garage as long as this place doesn't fall down/burn down/wood-rot down it's pretty great! now where did i put my crowbar/paintbrush/ac voltage detector/fire extinguisher/cell phone to call a contractor

Celexi posted:what does this mean in english i am visiting my brother's family, but can't stay with him because reasons. my rental car has a flat tire, and it appears to be impossible to get it taken care of on christmas. we intentionally picked a hotel near enough to their house that we could walk, so it wouldn't be that much of a problem, but various people have insisted that my brother pick us up instead, partly because there is a section of this walk that's a country road without much of a shoulder. it is the sort of offer that is difficult to refuse in a family context. my brother has four kids, and he hosted a christmas dinner for like twenty people total yesterday, so this was actually a pretty big imposition, and it was both difficult to get in touch with him (because he was running around away from his phone a lot) and took a long time for him to come over (because he needed to get the turkey in first, i think), so we ended up waiting at the hotel for about an hour so that we could take a three-minute drive christmas with family is both a madhouse and really wonderful

It's the one component where there's a expectation of a spare part and all the tools needed to replace it, like a radiator leak or something I could see but just change the tire doofus.

like surely either you're in a town and there's pavements or the roads are quiet enough that you can just walk along them/on the verge. Unless literally the only route is a motorway it seems bizarre

apparently newer elantras don't come with spares unrelatedly i do not in fact know for certain how to change a tire; i drive so little that it has just never come up, and i've only owned a car for a total of two years in my life. i assume it is basically jack, unbolt, pull off, push on, rebolt, unjack, inflate to psi on side of tire i did walk over this morning, and other than having to dodge a couple of unguarded freeway ramps it was totally fine. traffic is really irrelevant once it's at the point that you can't walk in the actual road, which doesn't take much

Shaggar posted:or maybe consider that steetcars are a bad form of transit Toronto mixed traffic streetcars are awful compared to true LRT or subways. However even though they get stuck in traffic like a bus, a streetcar is wayyyy more pleasant and comfortable than a bus. Quieter, smooth ride (depending on the driver) and just generally better. One line of the TTC streetcar (504 King) famously carries more passengers per day than the entire Toronto commuter train network. But really they should be in dedicated lanes out of traffic or underground but that will never ever happen because "downtown already has enough subways, give some subways to near-rural suburbs"
