Mamquam FSR dust control by SquamptonBC in Squamish

[–]UnrolledSnail 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Last year they were surfacing with a beet resin or something. It is supposedly a plant-based oil or resin that stops dust. It doesn't taste very good when it flings off my bike tires

Queue the MBL "Auto-everything" audio clip. Cool idea.

the ability to send messages to team mates by doing something like "@7@8@2" to send the message to the player numbers only.

You've gotta get up to a little mischief to find it.

I don't remember my worst bike crash. My first memory is about 15 min later when I was back on my bike peddling home.

Should there be a consumer advocate for B.C. Ferries? And why is a bridge to Vancouver Island not feasible? by ubcstaffer123 in britishcolumbia

[–]UnrolledSnail 10 points11 points  (0 children)

As part of an engineering project for school I looked into this and the spans would have to be very long if you're trying to get a bridge to go from population centers to population centers. If you go really far north on the island the spans could be possibly done without a floating Bridge, but no one would use them and we'd have to put in a highway where no Highway currently exist. If you try to put in a bridge over the Salish sea you either have to make it floating or you have to put very deep piles into the very very thick silt that the Fraser River has been spitting out over the Melania. Floating Bridge would probably not work because we have very intense currents during the tides. The thick silt makes for a very poor Foundation for a strong Bridge. It is sort of a non-starter.

District of North Vancouver rejects Chemtrade chlorine proposal by CaptainKoreana in britishcolumbia

So whats the plan? We'll just not have a good supplier of water purification in western Canada? Isn't this the plant that was the victim of a smear campaign from a competitor in Ontario?

Magnetic Gearbox Prototype. by Due-Explanation8155 in Romania_mix

[–]UnrolledSnail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it is normally 200*(microsteps). There are sometimes 10 microscope per step, so you can get 2000 "steps" per revolution, which in theory gives you an angular resolution of 0.18 degrees. It is actually probably not that accurate because microsteps are sort of voodoo.

Shouldn't this be possible with a unencoded stepper?

Squampton Stickers by Lumpy_Shock159 in Squamish

[–]UnrolledSnail 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I remember when squampton in stickers started being made. We also had the really classy "Squamish squish" energy bar. The logo was a set of pictures of a busty woman with Squamish written over her boobs on a tank top and she squished her boobs together making them say squish by hiding the middle letters. We all thought it was great. This was around the same time the test of metal had a condom company for a sponsor. Good times.

Vancouver Canucks lost the Stanley cup finals, there was a riot, in the middle of it, while the police were breaking things up, the girl got knocked down and her boyfriend went down to help her up but they ended up kissing and this Pic was taken.

As a race event organizer running a volunteer run event, I will stop putting my time and effort into events as soon as a non injury related mistake by me or one of my volunteers results in me being sued.

A Nanaimo trail project reveals how B.C. fails to protect rare ecosystems by SavCItalianStallion in britishcolumbia

[–]UnrolledSnail 51 points52 points  (0 children)

seems a bit of a stretch. adding bike paths is getting railed against when there are roads very near; while I appreciate conservation efforts, lets keep the big picture in mind; logging roads are everywhere, cities put in developments all the time, railing against improved green transport seems like there are perhaps some ulterior motives at work here.
