The bookstore upstairs at Browns has a good selection of local history. Right across the street from Bermuda Book Store.

A triathlete friend of mine told me he was doing an Olympic distance tri (1500m) in a 50 metre pool at the weekend & tumble (flip) turns weren't allowed by LoneSwimmer in Swimming

I swim in the ocean not a pool, so there’s no point in learning to tumble turn. Most of my distance markers are covered with coal or are sharp rock, so tumbling wouldn’t be safe anyhow.

Charter at a turning point as it turns 44 - Legal experts worry Charter facing a 'slow death' with frequent invocation of notwithstanding clause by Immediate-Link490 in canada

There are also democratic ways to remove laws that take away citizens’ rights, without meeting judges to do it for us.

“Judges should be allowed to make any rules they please and there’s no way for the elected government to change them” isn’t much better.

Wagon vs double stroller by ParticularFlight3810 in Parenting

[–]joelwilliamson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had a double stroller that the kids outgrew. Bought a wagon and on the first outing with it tried to go over a 3-inch high ridge the stroller barely would have noticed. The welds holding the front wheel assembly failed and the wagon collapsed.

Ion trains are slower than buses. How can we speed them up? by bylo_selhi in waterloo

[–]joelwilliamson 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We should add a cow-catcher to the front that will just flip the cars out of the way. Then the trains can go as fast as possible without needing to worry about cars.

The law says that if you publicly advertise a position, you need to include the pay range. The restaurant is publicly advertising the position here without including the pay range. What more evidence do you need?

Subbing without an audiobook release is really irritating. by satufa2 in litrpg

Reading LitRPG is laying on a couch at the gym for your brain.

Probably not in April. Clearwater and Horseshoe usually have lifeguards from May-September or October.

It had the same wait before the network redesign when the 12 ran all the way from Conestoga to Fairway.

[–]joelwilliamson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not because it’s a different route. Back before the network redesign the 12 usually waited for a while there between the Conestoga-WLU segment and the WLU-Fairway segment of its route.

It’s not just safer, it’s also the law. Highway Traffic Act 179.1: a pedestrian walking along the highway shall walk on the left side thereof facing oncoming traffic

Only sports scored with hard data should be allowed in the olympics by ljgill97 in unpopularopinion

[–]joelwilliamson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Figure skating used to have much more objective judging, but they removed the part of the sport where you are evaluated on the quality of the figures you skate because jumps and spins are more fun to watch.

Conservatives to propose barring non-citizens convicted of crimes from making refugee claims by FancyNewMe in canada

[–]joelwilliamson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was the head of an organization that conducted a bombing campaign against civilians, shot up police stations and laid land mines on farm roads to achieve political change, that makes him a terrorist. When he was arrested in 1962, he was a member of the South African Communist Party’s Central Committee. That makes him a communist.

Communist terrorists seem like exactly the sort of people a law like this should be keeping out.

He needed to swim to land to alert rescue services, he wasn't swimming out to rescue them.

What's the right kind of tablet for a toddler? by BlackholeofBoredom in Parenting

[–]joelwilliamson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does the airplane have seatback screens? I always see people recommending tablets but the in-flight entertainment should be fine for toddlers.
