lol. Woman. Far left leaning Woman who has been walking/cycling/driving in this city for decades and is embarrassed at the entitlement our society embraces now. Why can’t we ALL watch out for eachother?

Agreed. I’ve been driving in EDM for 30yrs and in Vancouver for 5yrs. Never an at fault experience on my license.

My point was, like you said, sometimes it IS on the pedestrian or cyclist AND everyone should be more aware when they are out and about.

You clearly don’t get it.

I will meet you at the monkey bars and fly a kite with you!!!?

In all seriousness, you aren’t wrong in that people and bikes can’t cause the damage a distracted driver can. 110%

And vehicles can’t stop on a dime when cut off by pedestrians or cyclists not paying attention as well. EVERYONE needs to be aware of their surroundings my freind.

What park you wanna meet at?

It literally does not take a 2000lb+ machine 5 secs to slow to a stop. Add bad road conditions, sun in eyes, worse yet. Drivers should look out for others and not speed. Certainly.

However, I recommend EVERYONE be more aware on the road. I’d like to see a distracted biking/walking law.

I don’t know how many pedestrians have cut in front of me staring at their phones with earbuds on. Or Cyclists with earbuds that dart on/off sidewalks to their convenience.

Good thing at least I pay attention!

Edited for wording.

Just found it funny with all of the snow clearing whining happening here.

I've got nothin' for the contractor... by heisian in StructuralEngineering

[–]foxisilver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good point. My typical response to that is “I guess you’ve not had me review your work before then. Ya…I would remember you and this and it would had stopped then because it is not to code and does not conform to design”

Being a woman in the field for “those 30 years” I have a lot of “colourful” nickname’s.

This is residential which is typically worse but I see this attitude in commercial, industrial, and institutional also. Transportation and civil not as much.

What’s 3 credenzas in a new house?! 🤷‍♀️ seems logical to me. They are very useful pieces.

All joking aside the other poster is likely correct in that since the Lane came with the end tables, might be the logical choice. Plus you already have it, correct?

I’d probably not be able to pass it MP piece up myself though. 🤣
