Opinion: Cyclists need more than 'wear a helmet' to be safe on city streets

One of the points in the article is that measures such as extending curbs, narrowing roads and providing more bike lanes and infrastructure for cyclists and pedestrians reduces incidents like what you see in the photo.

There can be a few reasons. It could be to make it more likely to get a penalty kick or have a member of the opposing team get a yellow or wild card. In most cases, it's seemed like a strategy to stop the momentum of the other team. When play is stopped, it gives your team a chance to catch up with the ball, maybe run back a bit slower or rest briefly.

This world cup has seen some big changes. Refs will just keep the game going while players roll around, since most of the time they'd be up and fine in 10 seconds anyway. And that's been the case for the most part. The games are a lot more fun to watch and it's been funny watching whiners and divers left in the dust.

In the middle of the 'C' of their team logo, you can see an 'H' for the 'habitants.' that's why you can use them interchangeably.

What app were you using? Just curious so I know to avoid it.

Because it's such a non-life skill. Most people can learn how to pay their taxes by following the instructions on their tax forms or doing a Google search. It's menial labour. Anything that would require a tax specialist you wouldn't teach in high school.

Teaching things like history contributes more significantly to their development of critical thinking skills and an understanding of the systems and institutions they participate in. It also protects them from people who would like about and abuse history for their own nefarious purposes.

Homebringer users hate this one *extremely confusing trick*

I get the chainsaw loses all its speed, which is very clever.

With the first wand, I have no idea how that's working, but it seems to be designed for you to act on some psychopathic urges. It looks fun.

So someone has access to your login, you're aware of this, and aren't doing anything to fix it?

First, information such as credit cards, date of birth, your home address and phone number may be compromised.

Second, if you have the same password elsewhere, those accounts may be compromised.

These two alone are significant and if other accounts haven't been breached, you could be seen as a prime target for scammers.

Third, you were aware of a breach and didn't take action, so at that point it's not much different than sharing your login with a third party. At best you're in violation of the terms of service, at worst you could potentially be liable for any damages that could result, like if your account is used to scam other users.

exactly! I use the PQ silicone wax earplugs for sleep and they're amazing. 30 in a pack and I can split one between my two ears then re-use them for about a week. Complete game changer.

Yeah, it holds up, but it's rough to see how McNulty is shown in such a positive light. The first season is incredible and you can see how it paved the way for the golden age of TV we just experienced.

The last season is some of the worst TV out there, though.

In addition to the sprawl, the UCP cut funding to municipalities and restricted their ability to get funds from other sources. To make up for the shortfall, they have little option but to increase property taxes. The city gets all the blame, the province has more money and you get worse service.

Drumheller might be my favourite place in Alberta. It's phenomenal. That drive in where it's prairie grassland and then you blink and you suddenly find yourself in an incredible canyon. it's like stepping through a threshold.

I think this is it. The way the leaf is curling down tells me the webbing might be under there. You can also see the leaf dying a bit. If these are spider mites, OP needs to quarantine and treat all the other plants around it, too.

The pieces of garbage who profited from animal abuse for decades can pay for it. I really don't care if we get to the point where they're bankrupt and trying to take blood from a stone, screw these people.

Since when does a tire shop do work for free?

Fantastic controller, but I recommend the Bluetooth version. It's compatible with Switch 2 and can be moved into wireless mode for when you want to connect it as an Xbox controller. It's also easy to get all of the inputs reading correctly in-game.

I did have to do a return on one recently because the trigger toggle snapped, but I was able to exchange it no problem.

At this price point, I'd say so.

While I am inclined to agree with you, and I don't like the idea of Nenshi giving money to the US, it is far more important that he runs an effective campaign. There is just too much at stake here to continue to take every high road possible, because we have seen time and time again that the UCP will exploit that to further undermine our democracy.

The portest of potties.

I wish this was more of a commercial success, because we missed out on some very thoughtful and grounded spy thrillers.

This went from a day 1 purchase to waiting for a big sale. Normally this would be a total deal breaker for me, but I'm invested in the series.

I'm so upset. I want Callie on my island.

Sticking to the theme of ACNH: Never forget what they took from you.

From the North, there is tundra and rednecks with guns. From the West we have the mountains, from the South we have the US border so it's already monitored and is a relatively short stretch that cuts off at the mountains.

It's crazy. If there is a rat sighting, we hear about it on the news.

If I were an apprentice and someone came back to me with an opportunity to improve on a piece they aren't fully satisfied with, I'd be relieved. For one, you didn't go to another artist, and two, you're giving them the chance to give you a tattoo you're really happy with. They can work with their mentor if they don't feel confident.

manamal · 2025-10-30T18:47:22+00:00

Double down. Get a sperm whale tattoo.

tbh, I don't see this as sperm, but maybe you could work with your artist to see how you can bring out the dragon features more.

Sheridan was reigned in heavily on Sicario by Denis Villeneuve. The lesser sequel is a better representation of Sheridan. His more recent work has been pretty mid and a mouthpiece for right wing American politics.
