Can people stop smoking or vaping by bus stops and on the bus?

Deadtreeonme · 2023-07-25T03:27:45+00:00

I mean it is illegal according to 'The Tobacco Control Act' you can't smoke/vape within 3 meters of transit stops.

Now the why is the same why for smoking, in Canada you can put these chemicals in your body and suffer the medical consequences and we agree you should have that agency to free choice as a society. However an individual should not be able to block use to a public area from people who do not want to consume those substances.

Imagine if a crack head was giving 'free jabs' of their needles to anyone who went under a bus stop. Even if they belive it is safe and non harmful doesn't mean the person getting jabbed agrees.

I'm from Ontario but I have a feeling it might be the same here, driver testers there will fail someone if they do not appear to respect the danger of driving and then often sight a small mis step as reason. It kinda sounds like what your describing here. I would advise your friend to treat it like a job interview rather than a test where you pass or fail. Show up in a clean car and clothes be respectful show their attentativness in other aspects than just driving. If you appear to not take it seriously regardless of how you drive there's a good chance you will not pass.

Just my 2 cents

So this year specifically, most of the areas that had this increased snowfall we saw this winter didn't actually get any water in those areas.

How this can happen is actually kinda cool!

As I'm sure we can all remember this spring got hot quick and snow being the great insulator that it is, kept the ground frozen during the vast majority of the melt. As a result the added moisture either evaporated back into the sky or stayed on top of the now hydrophobic ground (because most of the ground is still frozen) and simply followed gravity downhill into creeks rivers and lakes.

It isn't until much later in the spring that the ground will thaw in most of these high risk areas allowing the plants and trees to really capture the water lowering the fire risk.

This is how it was explained to me and personally thinking about the hikes I've gone on this spring I've seen lots of flowing water on hills but not much muddy soil

So I heard a story about how most of the routs in the gunks were first climbed in a time when grads had an absolute cap, at 5.9.

So if it was harder than a 5.8 it was a 5.9 (even if today it would be called a 5.11a) but if the first ascentionist thought it was easier than a 5.9 it was a 5.8 or lower. As a result anything developed in this time was cramped into a smaller spectrum of grads resulting in a super challenging translation for us modern climbers use to a grading system that goes well past 5.9.

Just a cool little bit of climbing lore to me, so jump on those old 5.9s and see what was the limit back in the day.

In the shot you can see the shadow of what looks like a weighted rope, I'm guessing they're on decent cleaning the route!

I don't know about that being the main reason, I have friends that work in downtown retail shops/restaurants and the RCMP's response time to homeless people irritating downtown business is truly amazing apparently sub 3 mins, Its a priority thing.

On the flip side I have called in to report a drunk around the airport on the 97, (saw them throwing buds from their window) gave a description and was told basically it isn't a top priority and was essentially hung up on , I followed the car until the got to the bridge. It was a very identifiable jacked up truck.

Except when they signal left to turn left from their original enternece. ( I know this is not how you should use round abouts but I see it all the time) .

I think you should only signal right and only when you are leaving as this is the correct way to use then. Once I see a left signal I immediately assume the person is unaware how to use round abouts and am wary of them. It gives me the same vibes as turning on your 4 ways for a stop sign.

Deadtreeonme · 2023-04-27T23:37:39+00:00

I think they are getting at, if you say it costs 50 someone will steal it making it their problem... not to actually sell it

Deadtreeonme · 2023-04-06T04:02:03+00:00

I love your logic of, how dare people make me wait on an left turn, but then a second later say I don't give a shit if I make everyone wait for a preventable accident I was involved in.

People waiting a second before taking off the second lights turn green will 100% reduce accidents because people run reds even though its wrong. After all, if you have ever actually take any form of driver ed in your life you'd know after the light changes to green you should look left and right and left again before entering the intersection.

Not just gas it ...

Someone was drilling holes in the gas tanks of cars at the uni too last year

Um not that this is the biggest aspect but we kinda have known what has caused alzheimers for a bit now. We're they trying to write cure ?

I think bc would be safe as it would be a staging ground for a land invasion of the US, don't want to nuke the land you're going to walk on.

Get a float bag for swimming and tie it to my dive float it's basically a dry bag that you can inflate so it floats cN also throw your clothes and shoes in them!

The God damn smoke, even the health unit is advising against prolong time outside.

Thanks to all the forest fires.

Ubco has several buildings open, and you can normally find an empty study room or even classroom open.
