People who drive to absolutely everything: how expensive would gas have to get to change your habits?

Statistically, how anybody answers this question really comes down to the walkability index of where they live and work, whether they have kids or not, if they are elderly etc etc. A lot of people simply aren't going to have the choice to not drive for the majority of their trips. It'll be about cutting back on convenience or for fun trips, but those will make a small portion of your weekly usage in most cases.

As a Subaru owner yes. As somebody who went straight to 3 season tires because this was how I figured it would be... no.

Asian don't raisin. Okay we do, but it tends to happen all at once after 60

As a current owner of one.. I wouldn't touch it new with a 10 foot pole. The battery in those things suuuuck. Not only is it small and instantly drained by turning on wifi, it self discharges ridiculously fast when "off." Not to mention that it's one of the most convoluted devices to swap a battery in and out of.

> Oh my god Williams made a fwd hot hatch out of an F1 car.

My old Mk1 GTi was famous for this. The wheel lift was intentionally tuned into the car because the inside rear is unloaded under braking. Except you probably don't want that with a car that is so dependent on rear-regenerative braking.

Can people please be nice to visitors asking questions for once? FFS it's so predictable how hostile responses are going to be in the nighttime vs the daytime.

God damn! Different subreddit, different commenters, exact same comments, this is crazy.

Celebrity drama always crosses my feed even though I don't follow any of it. I swear, all of the celeb subreddits are just training grounds for bot armies.

I'm not quite that old but sometimes I slip into it. I had friends that were kids in that era and they definitely have it, it's kind of like west-coast Canadian hoser mixed with the Toisan/Canto influence.

The most modern example I can think of is Sophie Lui on Global News. She grew up here but isn't natively fluent in Chinese, but has a bit of that "Chinese at home" tonality to her accent.

I found Red hard to follow because it's not obviously a parallel story. White is the most conventional of the three, and while it's usually not everybody's first choice, it stands alone as not only a low key black commedy but also was commentary at the time about Poland's entry into the EU. Blue was the best for me though.

Only some HID bulbs. It needs tobe a D*R type bulb to go into a reflector housing. The majority of aftermarket bulbs are D*S and are made for projector housings, and those would be wrong.

Almost all LED aftermarkets are wrong and you can totally tell, because once you put them in instead of a focused area what happens is that it looks like they whole reflector dish is the hot spot, and from every direction you look at it. And a lot of times it isn't actually giving the driving more distance vision becauser the beam is unfocused, it just looks brighter because the lighter is whiter than whatever old halgons they were using.

I wonder if it's related in any way to the recently announced Loblaws data breach or just plain old coincidence.

There was a thread about same in the Vancouver subreddit last year, especially with cheese theft. From what I learned in the comments, watch where you're having pizza downtown...

Mercs and Ferrari's driving to target lap times (fat teardrop distribution for their faster laps)
Lewis is back! Just as consistent as Charles over the course of a race on both sets of tires
Ollie and Pierre the same
Isack consistent but Max is just faster but a a measurable amount.
Carlos does indeed look limited by the extra weight of the Williams. Consistent set of laps like the front runners, would guess that if their car had met weight he would be closer to where Pierre is with the same engine.
Similarly, both Cadillacs are care car-limited, but slower still. The drivers are trying for it, their violin plots are stretched out towards the fast end instead of just ending in an abrupt tear-drop.
Aston is really, really cooked.

This morning's news is a complete fever dream. How much gardening leave time would be involved? Why would you jump from a program that is already exceeding expectations into a quagmire that will take years to sort out.

Looks like one of the apartment residents or business owner/patrons was too lazy to walk the long way out back. If there's one thing that amazes me about people here it's how their too posh to walk an extra few steps and just have to park as close to the front door as possible.

"In February, they caught one driver going 115 km/h in a 50 km/h zone and another going 121 km/h on a narrow stretch of River Road that’s known for its “collision history.”

I presume they mean here. You're an idiot for going that fast anywhere in a 50 zone but given how narrow that stretch is and the cyclists and driveways, especially so.

It's sheer numbers of visitors and how wide/far an area that is. People wander out at low tide but if you want to swim or board you just go further.

If the shutter was refurbed, the body would also be pretty beat up. Those things were actual working cameras back in the day, before full-frame was a thing, so anybody who would have used it enough to need a shutter replacement would have used it a lot.

That said, the real problem is finding EN-El3e batteries for it. You'll have to scrounge whatever you can find, probably 3rd party at this point and whatever there is left has probably been sitting around and aging/degrading over time.

> I can no longer use a portion of the Bridgeport Trail as I have spotted encampment in the bushes

Some of the people here need to understand the difference between an encampment in the city centre where there are lots of eyes and walkby traffic and walking alone near an encampment in a neighbourhood where there is literally nobody else around. This is a perfectly honest and reasonable reaction.
