For light rail, they usually don't bother trying to go up and down for every crossing, they just elevate the whole thing. Easier to move people up and down at the stations.

Lol, no worries.

I'm not sure what your trying to argue here. Elevate rail lines already exist. It's not something theoretical that people think can be done, it already exists. The engineering problems have been solved. Google it if you don't believe me.

All traffic from that device is going to pass through the router. In order to start communicating with the other device, the first device has to send a packet. The router sees that packet, and routes it to the other device. If there's no internet connection, things die here, but the router still saw that initial packet.

Depends on the router it's hooked to and the level of traffic logging being performed. Being connected to a LAN is not the same as being connected to the internet.

Uh, what? You absolutely can run trains on elevated tracks. Japan does it all the time. So do many other cities and countries. If you want to get real fancy, mag-lev runs almost exclusively on elevated tracks. Where did you get the impression that you can't elevate train tracks?

A) time to move if climate change has fucked your weather that bad.

B) you don't have to tunnel. You can elevate the track.

Just about all of it. America doesn't "let" Canada do anything. Go read a fucking history book.

Pretty sure they're just going to slap that title onto whichever federal minister is already in charge of that portfolio.

It will be WWIII either way. A US civil war would leave a massive power vacuum, and a whole bunch of candidates trying to fill it.

For people seeking asylum, the choices are usually "kinda shitty conditions in a nice city" vs "abject poverty and life threatening conditions back home". It's not really a question which one is better. Toronto has issues, but the tap water won't give you cholera, nobody is going to stab you for your bag of rice, and that room you are sharing is not going to be bombed.

There's a lot of work to be done to make it a city that's livable for everyone, but please don't fall for bullshit narratives.

That's one of the things I actually love about the LCBO. They are willing to get any liquor on the planet for you. The only requirement might be that you have to buy a case, depending on what it is and where it's coming from.
