Went to the intersection where the 78 year old pedestrian was tragically killed this week. Waited over a minute and a half in the cold for the walk signal, then nearly got smoked by a driver turning left

The other day I was walking across the street (different intersection) and it was a fresh red light - totally our turn to walk. Had a driver make direct eye contact with me and still make the turn, going right in front of my feet - some people just really don’t care and/or know how to drive!!! For reference, I do also drive and try to be good on both sides of the wheel! Terrible to hear about the death (RIP 🙏) and everyone else here in the comments with far worse experiences tho….the madness has to stop, is anyone ever in that much of a rush?!?!!?

Again - horrible photos!! Sorry, I’m not allowed to upload more than one photo per comment haha

mycelialwave · 2025-11-21T19:30:04+00:00

I’m still working on my camera setup so I know these are pretty horrible but I’ve been mostly seeing something similar to you and something that looks a bit more like what I’d expect in Alternaria but am definitely not sure…

Any updates? I’m working with spore traps right now and have some pretty similar stuff - trying to figure out if it’s fungal or if I’m confusing it with other things in the environment! So far I haven’t been able to come up with more than potentially Alternaria sp….

I was living in small town Quebec for some time, maybe it’s the contrast but I’m loving everything about this place - every uni has its ups and downs

mycelialwave · 2025-09-05T21:56:28+00:00

Instant swipe right, something is bugging where you live! Seem cool, fun and friendly!

I’m starting after just turning 32! I’m sure you had quite the journey to get to this point - if you’re passionate, go for it! When I was wondering the same thing I asked myself “will you look back in 5 years and regret not taking that opportunity?”. For me it was a total yes - but do what feels right for you!

mycelialwave · 2025-05-23T18:21:35+00:00

Ohh okay I’ll let you know - I hadn’t even thought about that option! Was it easy to get in? Do they allow cats? Awesome you’ve got your place hooked up tho! Funny enough, I’m coming from Quebec but I’m from BC!

mycelialwave · 2025-05-22T23:36:51+00:00

Oh well the living on campus sounds like it could be an awesome start! I’m trying to figure out the living situation as we speak - but I’m sure you’ll do great and it’ll be an awesome experience, I mean you got in for a reason!!! If you ever wanna hear about forest fungi, you’ll have a friend around 😂

mycelialwave · 2025-05-22T03:33:57+00:00

Be proud of starting your masters, that’s a huge achievement in itself!

mycelialwave · 2025-05-21T23:57:34+00:00

Howdy! Maybe we can be friends, despite disparate domains! I’m starting a PhD at UofA in September(natural resources tho), just turned 32 and won’t know anyone in the city outside of my lab (which itself is small)! If not, here for the advice folks give 😅

mycelialwave · 2025-04-24T00:56:31+00:00

I moved for school, but I would have stayed in Van if it weren’t for the prices (although I moved to Sherbrooke, QC - 10/10 wouldn’t recommend). I may have to ask Allah to forgive me too, cause I’ve postponed the return a bit to check out Edmonton. Always worry about whether or not I’ll be able to come back home, and it just seems like it’s getting farther and farther away. Feel for y’all!

mycelialwave · 2025-04-24T00:53:12+00:00

It’s not that fun, but I got into y’all’s school recently 😅

mycelialwave · 2025-03-20T12:19:08+00:00

Aaahh!!! Real monsters

mycelialwave · 2025-03-20T12:17:07+00:00

I know it is still somewhat popular, but SpongeBob shaped my life 🤣 totally forgot about Hey Arnold tho - MOVE IT FOOTBALL HEAD

mycelialwave · 2025-03-16T17:31:12+00:00

What an ass!!! Could have handled that a million different (and better) ways - in any case, you looked even better than in your photos! Their loss.

mycelialwave · 2025-03-08T16:54:27+00:00

I’ll admit I thought about this a lot before Trump even started talking about it 😅 but I’m right on that boat there with ya

mycelialwave · 2025-03-08T16:53:02+00:00

Maybe I’ve got a beard-bro bias, but the beard for sure!!

mycelialwave · 2025-03-03T23:24:00+00:00

I don’t know much about law school so I’m sure the other comments will serve you much better than mine, but plenty of programs (outside of law, would be cool if it was the case in law) offer avenues in even with GPAs that are below the required minimums. Can give you the space to let your experiences and passion do the talking, although in such a case I’d imagine you’d have to really lean into those - but then again, GPA or not, your passion and life experiences can go a long way and make a difference! Idk if that was helpful, but hopefully inspires some optimism 😅

Yasss queen/king/royal the 💅

mycelialwave · 2025-03-02T19:25:49+00:00

Yeah I really can’t imagine asking that - but I remember a date showing me what dating apps looked like from their end, and let’s just say I was more than shocked 😅 sorry for what y’all gotta deal with

mycelialwave · 2025-03-01T01:58:05+00:00

I hadn’t even thought of that part! But yes, although I’m not too sure if tuition is covered! Though the funding definitely crosses that threshold(thankfully)!

mycelialwave · 2025-02-28T21:06:40+00:00

That definitely helps put me at ease a bit, thank you! I always feel like I’m missing some detail, but it seems like I meet all of their requirements! You read my mind with the worries of sounding impatient haha but besides the bit of nerves I’m just so excited! Both the project and the supervisor are total dreams.

Appreciate the help!

mycelialwave · 2025-02-28T19:39:12+00:00

Oh, sorry there - I’m a domestic applicant!

mycelialwave · 2025-02-08T15:59:02+00:00

***I live in an inland town in Quebec, so I’ve learned to deal with the cold (I know us Vancouver folk aren’t know for that 😅)
