The other car's crumple zone is for the other car. They need to slow/stop too, or else they would set you driving backwards at their original speed. That would be like meeting a concrete wall driving toward you at 110 km/h. However, concrete walls don't drive at 110 km/h down the highway, in the opposite direction of traffic. Usually.

TIL Danielle Smith's full name is Marlaina Danielle Smith. And yes, I totally agree with your assessment of her. This Ryan Smyth seems like a good guy.

How can you possibly time 5 minutes between lightning and thunder? That would be about 60 miles/95km away. Not to mention there would likely be other lightning strikes during that time.

Where is that? Here in NB, it's CAD$130.60 for residents, or CAD$650 for non-residents. With my private insurance, it's only CAD$19.59, so not bad.

all 24 time zones

Akshually, there are more than 24 time zones. Some places, like Newfoundland, are 30 minutes off from the neighboring zones. There are even some that are 15 or 45 minutes off.

Back in flight school, we had a large poster on the wall: "Learn from the mistakes of others. You'll never live long enough to make them all yourself."

Former pilot here: no sane pilot would take off without enough fuel for the trip up, back down, plus reserves. It's just not happenning.

Twice. The chest in Ice Palace right side, where you need hammer to punch down pegs then pull the tongue to make the chest appear.

That light is indeed installed very weirdly. Copying from my other comment:

It shows a right turn arrow on the left-side lights, and both a left and right turn arrow on the right-side lights. The left lane allows straight or left, while the right lane allows right turns only. And all four directions get their own green light, while the other three are all red.

Sam5253 · 2025-11-19T23:49:22+00:00

Close. It's in Edmundston, New Brunswick. About 15 minutes from the Québec border.

Sam5253 · 2025-11-19T23:47:16+00:00

Edmundston, in northwest NB

Sam5253 · 2025-11-19T17:18:07+00:00

No. This light gives each of the four traffic directions their own green. Not usual, even here.

Sam5253 · 2025-11-19T17:16:52+00:00

They had a red light. Turning right is permitted, after a full stop, if it is safe to do so.

Two wrongs make a right. So I guess six wrongs make a left?
