This right here, “the second lane was always blocked with parked cars.” Pretty much sums up most of Toronto’s city streets. The second lane (or far right lane) is usually unusable because of parked or stopped cars.

And as soon as a side walk gets widened or a bike lane goes in to use the space more efficiently motorists looses their shit.

Bloor has really become more enjoyable as a street, and easier to traverse by car, bike and on foot.

Are you the Transportation Minister for Brampton. /s

Maybe just Ontario? Though there does seem to be a common recurring theme in Canada these last few decades where its easier to not take action and say we tried everything, rather then taking action and solve problems.

Its always easier to take no action and not upset one group or another, zero-sum game, as opposed to take action and have a small group upset at the end result.

In both cases the Canadian in charge of the action, or inaction, says “Sorry, eh”.

This whole removal of bike lanes on Toronto’s roadways that are classified as streets is so backwards.

Streets are for the people that live on them. Streets are a destination points.Roads are designed to get you from point a to point b. Roads are not a destination and don’t care about the community they cut through.

We are removing key infrastructure in our cities that directly supports the residents living within these areas, and replacing it to serve suburban commuters that live outside the city.

We need to make city centres more enjoyable and walkable. We need to make city centres more accessible to families. Having people move out of the city and commute into it everyday is the opposite of this. We need more choice in housing sizes and units layouts, we need more schools that are not at capacity.

There needs to be a greater push in how North America classifies its roadways. There are key differences between streets, roads, high-speed roads, highways, and interstates. All these classifications impact how these roadways serve the people around them, and how people use them. For example you would not put a sidewalk next to a highway car lane.

Instead these last few decades its been either “strode’s” or highway. In some cases even strode’s acting as highways as well.

Mad Men the picnic scene.

Littering wasn’t a concern back then. When Don casually tossed the can aside, I was astonished and confused. Then to make matters worse, Betty shakes off the rubbish from the picnic blanket onto the ground before heading to the car. Not a care in the world at all.

Try to do the same today and a park would be filled with plastic wrappers in a few days.

I love how wide the platform is. Plenty of space for activities.

Lock up Elon!!

Most roundabouts in Ontario are two lane roundabout. I have yet come across a three lane or four lane roundabout

My general consensus for two lane roundabouts is treat the inside of the roundabout as you would a regular signaled intersection, in that you dont change lanes inside the intersection.

If you came up to the intersection on the right you exit straight, or turn right. You can’t change your mind inside the intersection and turn left from the right lane. (Though this does not seem to stop a few motorists I have seen).

Alternative view of roundabouts (same principal), treat them like a continuous roadway. If you are in the right lane you dont suddenly turn fully left. Similarly if you are in the far left you dont suddenly turn fully right cutting everyone behind you off.

To add, if you did enter the roundabout incorrectly and ended up going in another direction then you originally desired, its generally best to continue through and course correct on the next roundabout or car park/parking lot.

Wish we would stop adding lanes already. The 401 is a complete mess as it is already in design and interchanges.

Get all trucks to stay in the right lane, and make highway layouts more efficient by not having that right lane disappear into a offramp. Also remove trucks off the express sections altogether. Resever the express to light vehicles. Add surcharges to delivery and trucking companies exceeding certain vehicle sizes. Add surcharge zones for car traffic in downtown neighbourhoohs.

Stop expanding suburbs and instead add density to cities and towns. Add alternative transportation such as trains, subways, trams, buses, cycaling infrastructure, pedestrian sidewalls and trails. Convert office spaces to lofts and apartments, allow low rise 4-5 story mixed use developments on existing parcels with point access stairwells.

Add reasons for families to stay in cities, make it affordable compared to a suburban single family home so they can live where they may work as opposed to comuting into the city by car.

The more alternative transportation options we provide in our cities and towns frees up that space for the remaining vehicular traffic.

I have no idea why a large part of motorists does not see this concept. Instead they seem to fight against it in their own best interests.

If you commute to work in a car and there are another 100+ road users with you all headed in the exact same direction, would you prefer them all to be in individual cars? Or would you prefer a few of those people take the tram, a few take a bus, a few hop on the subway, a few cycle, and the remaining few who can walk?

I would really like to get a critical mass group going in toronto so we can bike all the major streets in Toronto in groups of hundreds or more.

Definitely remember this one as well.

Honesty I have no idea how all his ideas are 100% in the complete opposite direction.

Ford yet again seems to be the center of some questionable decisions that favour big corporations as opposed to the people of Ontario.

Some items include:

Trying to change zoning on protected green belt land to allow developers to build single family home subdivisions. The land was purchased by developers in anticipation to the change in zoning.

Releasing a liquor map to help individuals find alcohol, while a liquor stike was happening (somewhat a slap in the face for union workers TBH). This coincided with his push to get liquor into convince stores and corner stores while at the same time breaking a contract that would have expired in two years costing tax payers millions.

Killing a proposed recycling programs that would benefit the people of Ontario by making stores responsible to accept back recyclable materials. This program was ment to shift the cost of recycling from tax payers to corporations and business in a effort to push them to limit the amount of packaging used for products. The program was to function very similar to the Ontario Beer Store that takes back cans and glass bottles. (Unfortunately the future of the beer store recycling program is also up in the air)

Potential covering up of the completion schedule for new transite lines that were scheduled to be completed 2020.

The sudden shutdown of the Ontario Science Center due to a structural report stating a small section of roof might collapse within one of the buildings. The report presented no immediate danger but press conferences and Ford himself called the building a death trap. Many schools roofs in Ontario were built in the same way and are nearing end of life, no action or plan has been put forward.

The Ontario Place being leased and redeveloped into a luxury spa. This also coincided with the Ontario Science Center being moved to Ontario Place. The reasoning for this is that the Ford Government is contractually obligated to build a mega parking garage for the luxury spa. To justify the building of the garage it is to be shared between the new location for the Ontario Science Center and the Spa.

Could these have been done a lot better with greater design intent? Absolutely! Here are some great examples from a neighbourhood in Vienna.

Safer and more plessent streets (and roads) are about controlling the flow of traffic. Creating barriers is what makes roadways more efficent, its not about removing all barriers.

It would help if the politicians entertaining these ideas knew the difference between a link and a complete summarization of the article or content on a secondary unaffiliated website.

Websites survive by generating traffic, links to these site help increase traffic, the increase in traffic means higher ad revenues. News agencies wanting to double dip is only hurting theselves.

News agencie, you can’t have your cake and eat it.

“What they do is set up a fake payment portal where money goes in and nothing comes out.”

They actually go alot further in making the scam seem legit. They setup full trading platform apps that look legit. These apps are listed in the apple store and play store, they even have real real reviews.

You download the app yourself, you setup your profiles yourself. Everything seem legit because you actually setup the acounts.

You then put money into these “accounts”, you watch the value go up and down like it normally would on a stock market. Then when you are happy with your “investment”, time to withdrawal and there’s no money to take out.

Checks out

No worries, VMware or some of the other virtualization software’s should work in this case as most other comments pointed out. Probably the most simple and straight to the point.

If you have the urge to tinker, another potential item or route you can look at is a proxmox machine. You can run multiple VMs in tandem at the same time. This would run on a standalone machine.

You would then be able to remote desktop into any virtualized OS on your home network. You can use a software like parsec which I like to access each machine from a clean interface.

I run a Hackintosh’s dual booting Mac OS and Windows. So you solution is not insane as some have pointed out.

What I would suggest is maybe running a NAS on your local network to act as your share. Obviously this won’t help if you dont store your working files on your NAS, but its an idea. I know no way to directly share between the two machines as they are technically not on at the same time.
