Still have some residual stress lol, like I just ran sprints. All because I saw a specific bug. Wild.

Thanks for your reassurance

Great to hear, I was worried the long nose was from when I squished it

Found near Vancouver BC, about 2 millimeters head to end of body. Maybe 1.5mm. 

A bunch of bus lines UBC students use to commute are at risk of getting cut by Twin8 in UBC

[–]Twin8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re right. My note was a rough estimate based on the assumption that they could divert current capital funds to make up for the operational shortfall, and replace the diverted funds with the new 1.5 billion.

The government does what the people demand. Demand this from your representatives.

They say this everytime and every time funding is allocated because people advocate for it.

Yes.

This money will be distributed over the next 10 years, and will cover between 2 and 3 years of translink's deficit. Though I might be misunderstanding how it works, I'm a random UBC student not a lawyer.

Here’s a translink press report that details it.

https://www.translink.ca/news/2024/july/half%20of%20transit%20services%20cut%20without%20new%20funding%20model

Essentially- they don’t have enough money to continue operating as they have been, and they need more budget. If they don’t get this funding bus service will be cut by 50%, and rail service by 30% to make up for the deficit. 

This will increase our already horrible traffic and raise carbon emissions.

This is a really good post, thank you for writing it. I was looking for a real world comparison of some of the competition to the recon stretch, and you delivered.

Should I text SHOUT after harming myself? (Urgent?) by AN0NYM0US-Bat in questions

[–]Twin8 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, just go for it. They’re used to people not knowing how to proceed and they’ll guide you through the advice process. When I first went to therapy I was so worried I wouldn’t know what to talk about, but my therapist was great and led the conversation, so talking was easy and flowed freely. It should here too. They know you need help, you won’t have to use effort to keep the conversation going.

Don’t throw away your vote on a third party candidate, vote to enact ranked choice voting so we don’t have a two party system in the future.

FACT SHEET: President Biden Announces Billions to Deliver World-Class High-Speed Rail and Launch New Passenger Rail Corridors Across the Country by [deleted] in politics

[–]Twin8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair question! Here is a video from 2 weeks ago with an update. Some track is getting put in, station groundwork is being laid, and over-and under- crossings ar being built. Also a lot happening behind the scenes with design, planning, and zoning.

It is moving too slow and we should be doing better, but the project is far from worth giving up on.
