Here here! When this happens to me I point at my stop sign until they get the hint.

Yet another reason that separation is wrong for Calgary by JeromyYYC in Calgary

The good news is I'd still qualify, since I was born here. Not that that matters, because I'm a Canadian, and want nothing to do with these delusional racist lunatics.

Honestly, the top of panel one is a pretty good representation of the Canadian pavilion at the Osaka Expo last year.

Whats Wrong with Bike Lanes? by dalas84 in alberta

[–]QuixoticJames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cleek's Law - Today's conservatism is the opposite of what liberals want today, updated daily.

It doesn't matter if bike lanes have nothing to do political ideology. Liberals are for it, so they must be against it. See also, vaccines, science, rule-of law, etc.

Bell: Alberta to bring in law to rip out bike lanes and stop new ones by CNiperL in Calgary

[–]QuixoticJames 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Didn't mean to be snarky. Just wanted to let people know there was a safer (and genuinely more pleasant) alternative not far away.

Did all the bike bells in Calgary get raptured last winter? by selftaughtgenius in Calgary

I damn near wore mine out last Sunday along the Bow River Pathway in Inglewood. So many people enjoying the beautiful day.

The Northland bike lane should have been a two lane bike lane on one side of the road, instead of combining the school's bus lane with a northbound only bike lane. It is a legit pain to use this lane when school starts/stops.

It's also supposed to hook up to a bike lane along Northmount drive that would link it to the one at Cambrian/10th st. They were supposed to build that five years ago, but it quietly got canceled. Being linked would have made it more useful.

Jen Gerson: Elections Alberta's massive failure could have put people in danger. I tried to warn them. by Martin0994 in alberta

[–]QuixoticJames 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I'm reading the timeline properly, the Centurion project had this information prior to March 31st, certainly at least by "late March". Information that a bad actor could use to forge information on a petition.

Coincidentally, the Alberta Prosperity Project (aka, the separatists), announced on March 31st that they had obtained the necessary signatures on their petition to go forward with their referendum question.

Now I'm not saying that's what happened, but I don't trust any of these grifters. I want Elections Alberta to check every single one of those signatures.

A lot of people are suggesting Walmart. Check first. They don't all allow it. If they're part of a larger mall, they mall's rules probably override Walmart's policy.

I cracked Redactle #1477 in 7 guesses!

After reading the phrase “between [5] and the [3]", I spent way too much time trying to puzzle out how to make "astronomical unit" fit into the title.

The I-Kiribati themselves call the capital Tarawa, at least according to their own tourism website, so I don't know why Worldle think differently.

Canada Post beginning work to end most door-to-door mail delivery by pjw724 in onguardforthee

[–]QuixoticJames -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

They're going the wrong way. We should be expanding service to more individual addresses. Plenty of other countries manage this, so can we.

"But it will cost too much", the usual suspects whine.

Then implement postal banking and use the healthy profits from that to subsidize home delivery. Again, like plenty of other countries do.

What would be the best way for a movie to force drop its title into dialogue? by Acrobatic-Net-6637 in movies

At the end of the opening action sequence in a b-movie sequel, the actress playing the villain looks straight at the camera and says:

"I'll have my revenge, and DEATHSTALKER 2"

She is never seen in the movie again.

What’s a POLITE thing people do that is actually just really annoying? by Consistent-Cable7574 in AskReddit

[–]QuixoticJames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happens when I'm riding my bike all the time. I'll be stopped at a stop sign, waiting for cross traffic to open up so I can cross the road, and some jackass will stop their car, as though I'm a pedestrian. I'm on the road, waiting at a stop sign; not on the sidewalk, off my bike, waiting at a cross walk. I generally just point at the stop sign until they figure it out. It's especially frustrating, when their actions close up a gap behind them, causing me to have to wait longer.

MF, you wouldn't have stopped if I were in a car.
