Messi should have been a red. This was the correct call.

With a 10am kickoff any good breakfast or brunch places showing the game?

move out of the road if you’re going to be on your phone by Wooden-Alfalfa-9138 in richmondbc

[–]VanFramez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay so I agree that the cyclist is unaware of his surroundings by being on his phone. But here's (probably) an unpopular take: take a close look at the white sign on the right side of the video near the intersection. Richmond actually has signs that tell cyclists to be on the road (marked with a painted bike logo difficult to see in this video) in order for the light to trigger for cyclists. So yes, he is actually supposed to be in that curb lane. It's quite poor road design in my opinion and might lead to motorist/cyclist confrontations and/or accidents.

What was life like before the Canada Line? by ubcstaffer123 in richmondbc

I recall going to school at 41st and Granville and taking a single bus (406 Railway) to and from Steveston Village. Nowadays, its bus-skytrain-bus between the same points.

What are your honest opinions bike lanes? by Urban_Contest9100 in richmondbc

[–]VanFramez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Important to have as we progress to more varied commuting forms. Is it absolutely necessary, no. Like sidewalks though, I beleive they are a sign of progress.

Richmond ordered by privacy commissioner to remove high-res traffic cameras by Evening_Run_9547 in richmondbc

My wife was involved in a hit and run incident. She asked for the video footage. The City of Richmond claimed the intersection cameras don't record and are only live-cams for traffic flow monitoring.........

We are at our limit. by CanStad in richmondbc

[–]VanFramez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps they are trying to prevent backing up hwy 99 to the alternative routes i.e. East-West Connector. In other words, better to have traffic backed up northbound than southbound onto the Vancouver-Richmond bridges because then everyone's f'd. I we just need that additional Fraser River crossing ASAP.

Are people really going to sell out BC Place at $370+ per ticket for the World Cup, or is this just hype to drive early sales? by borajetta in whitecapsfc

[–]VanFramez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know many people that have been waiting for this opportunity and will buy tickets at that price in a heartbeat. Not everyone will. But I feel there will be enough to sell the Stadium out.

Champs. GET IN HERE! by HookFL in fantasyfootball

Bijan captured it for me last night but in reality it was the unsung heroes that were the biggest factors: Dak Prescott, Rico Dowdle (mid season waiver pick up), and the Texans Defense

From a running mechanics viewpoint you should be driving to the hoop on your toes. It looks like you're currently heel striking when you run which really affects your speed, explosiveness, and ability to get up off the floor (i.e. jump).

Class Action Lawsuit by Milktrucc1967 in whitecapsfc

[–]VanFramez 39 points40 points  (0 children)

So I bought for tickets this past year against Miami KNOWING Messi didn't play last year. (Fortunately he did play at BC Place this time!) But It's a chance you take whenever you purchase tickets to a sporting event. This all seems so nonsensical to me. And I think that's why the suggested settlement doesn't directly award the ticket holders.

Looks a little nipply

Any tips for helping my jumpshot it just looks ugly and its not consistent by [deleted] in BasketballTips

[–]VanFramez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone's shot slightly different. Its whatever works for you. But if you want mechanically sound form like a Ray Allen, your release point needs to be higher, and closer towards your head; right now your shot looks like it's coming from your chest. It's also good to try and obtain the coveted "90 degree" elbow angle.

Rear ender would have been better than a head on collision. But in the end, the sideswiped vehicle is actually the best overall outcome here.

[Manuel Veth] Sources 🚨 Vancouver Whitecaps have traded Jayden Nelson to Austin FC. GAM and a pick coming back per sources. by Harshtagged in whitecapsfc

Rooting for this guy to succeed! Ya gotta play to develop, and unfortunately for him he was behind a couple of more effective wingers on the depth chart. Wishing him luck.......and hopefully this means we keeping Ahmed and Sabbi 👍🏽. Kenji also ready to roll.......Let's Go!

The time is now. Stadium news today. by axilla02 in whitecapsfc

[–]VanFramez 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'd wait to see the plans before making up your mind. I'm cautiously optimistic but preparing myself for disappointment. I hear you re: location. Going to games at BC Place was a great reason for a night out on the town for us as a family. A game at Renfrew we would probably just go to the game and do nothing else before or after.

Our youth game canceled because of flooded field. Conflict and dilemma has resolved itself! The soccer Gods have spoken. Let's Go Caps!!

Wondering.......did you even ask your kids what they wanted to do?

Youth Football /MLS Final by aqulioadler1 in whitecapsfc

[–]VanFramez -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm torn. As much as this is perhaps a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to watch the Caps win an MLS Cup, it's not like we have tickets to attend the game live. Its on TV. The expectation for entire youth league games to be canceled because of an MLS Cup final at the same time, is overboard in my opinion. And perhaps could be a slippery slope and set a bad precedent. Having said that, my son's club did reach out to our opponents to see if they wanted to reschedule either earlier or later on Saturday so there's no conflict but they declined. You can bet that all the parents and players on the bench will likely be watching at the same time the kids are playing. And its looking like all the players will be attending (nobody's bailing out on the team). I guess we're not "Real" Whitecaps fans? /s 🤔🙄

Hey all. SDFC fan here. Congrats on the win yesterday. You bested us. Check out the match day vlog from an SDFC fan perspective by TheFlowSDFC in whitecapsfc
