2 boxes of salt in a week? That's a LOT of salt!
YAY!!!!!!
The bus in which You Must Not Be Seen Going To School.
Are you certain she's not just fat?
Good response. Well said!
That Kool-aid must have tasted good.
No, even if you had exterminated all the "traitors" you would still have the same problem. The problem you are having now was *triggered* by the failure to resolve the Civil War, but the real *cause* was the foolishness of imagining a system that had "checks and balances" and then doing nothing to stop the malicious criminals and greedy billionaires from corrupting the whole process and taking over the government.The USA can NEVER be trusted again.
Why go back in time? You want to stop a dictator, he's RIGHT THERE, RIGHT NOW!
Can someone please tell the USAians that there is a tradition of acting on March 15th to get rid of dictators?
"Pass, thanks" is the perfect response.
They seem nice.
"the majority of whom would be driving if not for the bike lane". Sorry, I just don't believe that. Trucks, deliveries, vehicles carrying purchases, are all cases where bikes don't work. Nobody drives on Bloor for the pleasure of it. Besides, consider winter. You can't get half the car drivers on bikes in February.Why can't we have bike lanes AND 2 car lanes? There's room!
Entirely agree. But if traffic is congested, then I would rather sit in comfort in a car that spend far more time on really shitty public transit. Remember that Line 6 cost billions and is SLOWER than walking!!!Car infrastructure does not scale. But the city MUST provide a reasonable alternative. And they don't.
Those studies were not done in Toronto. Removing a car lane on Bloor to put in a bike lane has caused extreme congestion on Bloor, even late into the evening.Don't get me wrong: I want a bike lane on Bloor! Just don't delete the car/truck/bus lane. THAT lane handles a LOT of commercial travel.And no. In Toronto, there are no masses of bike riders. There are a handful in summer and very few in Winter. And it's not frustrating to see buses go past.
For decades, this city has been designed haphazardly according to the latest political pressures. I want more bike, bus and transit lanes and better public transit. I also want reasonable traffic for personal vehicles, commercial trucks, Ubers and taxis.
I like bike lanes and bus lanes, but what I really want is for the people running the roads to allocate road space according to a plan that maximizes benefit for everybody. If taking out a vehicle lane inconveniences thousands of people a day and costs millions in lost productivity and increased pollution, but somehow benefits a few hundred people a day then that decision needs a rethink.
Right now, in this city with the public transit provided, the car is better. Could the transit be better? Sure it could. But we throw billions of dollars for a "Line 6 Finch West" LRT line and it turns out to be SLOWER THAN WALKING. And if you think I'm exaggerating, check Wikipedia. $3.85 billion CAD.And I don;t mind a weirdo spitting on my car door: It's better than a weirdo spitting on ME.
That's true, unless you want to be nicknamed Frodo.
So to own a car, I need to pay for parking, gas, insurance, licensing. I need to deal with truly crappy traffic in a car-hostile city. But I DO get to sit in a clean, comfortable place and get to my destination in a reasonable time. I can transport groceries and purchases without having to schlepp bags and carts, or deal with hostile weirdos and rude people. Sorry, but the car is still better.
Public transit is certainly cheaper than owning a car. So why do I own a car? Because I value my time, comfort and health. Where I live (Toronto) the public transit sucks. The subways are plagued with delays and seriously decaying stations, the streetcars and light rail are extremely slow, and the buses are lurching, overcrowded sardine cans. There's usually somebody coughing and spitting so you can share their infections, and often disturbed homeless ranting and screaming.
We know which side Trump is on. And it isn't us!
Thank you!FM. It's good to see somebody with a clear perspective.
She's beautiful. Best wishes!
The day that Fanta Führer started lying that other countries would pay the tariffs is exactly when USA citizens should have collectively said "BULLSHIT" and started committing every idiot who believed him to an asylum.
FFS, the New Jersey mob has been getting rid of bodies in water for years. Ref: "cement shoes" on Wikipedia.
What's interesting about balsa wood is that when it is first harvested, it's extremely heavy: It won't even float. It's mostly water, and the cut-down balsa logs have to sit for quite a while for all the water to drain out and lighten the logs.
In Halifax, "heavy rain" is when it's no longer "water coming down", but it's "air going up". Love that town.
I still see podcasts and videos of these "constitution scholars" waxing on lyrical about ow wonderful the constitution is and all the magnificent ideas that were in there and yadda yadda yadda. None of these cult members acknowledge in any way how this "experiment in democracy" has so utterly failed and been entirely and thoroughly corrupted after 250 years. It's a really weird blind spot for USAians./2
There is an incredible level of widespread ignorance, corruption, organized criminal effort, and ongoing political support of illegal activity that has been going on to get the USA to this point and keep it going so far. None of this is being addressed: A lot of USA people are blind to all of this and have no idea that this needs to be fixed./1
True that.Apparently cocaine addiction is God's way of telling you that you make too much money...
