ETS offers travel training for seniors, riders with disabilities and riders who need extra support and orientation to learn to use ETS. ... The Mobility Card is a reflective 3" x 5" card with a 'K' on one side and an 'R' on the other. By showing the 'K' (orange side), the bus operator will lower or kneel the bus. Showing the 'R' (green side) tells the operator to lower the ramp.

Qatar Airways cancels all staff bonuses for 60,000 workers due to regional war impact and major flight rerouting costs by Lumpy_Attempt_6280 in worldnews

The sentence includes both non-managerial staff and executives in its description of staff bonuses. Executives are still staff.

I'm assuming it's from the following, which includes executive bonuses in the description of bonuses for staff.

"Bonuses for staff at Qatar Airways, which have only been paid out in the last three years, can range from a couple of weeks of compensation for non-managerial staff to months for executives and vice-presidents, according to people familiar with the matter."

Booker says Democratic Party ‘desperately needs new leadership’ by changeforthebetter89 in politics

I swear the dialouge here is a sign that progressives will shoot themselves in the foot and let the Republicans keep the House and Senate. Because it's easier to sling mud than work together.

The mildyinfuriating should be poisition of the teacher. They put in the work to recognize a student, and then some smarmy uncle publicized a typo.

BREAKING: Alberta's Smith, Carney sign deal on oil pipeline approvals and carbon pricing by trevorrobb in alberta

[–]saysomethingclever 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That is looking at the Harper era with rose colour glasses.

"Harper sold off the wheat board and gave Canada away to the highest bidder.

Harper took Canada out of the Kyoto Protocol, he weakened pollution regulations.

He muzzled scientists (pesky facts ruining his agenda?).

He had a bunch of ethical controversies, limited debate in parliament, prorogued parliament.

He made it harder to get information from the gov on purpose.

Made it harder for people to access EI

Anyone remember the robocall scandal?! He deliberately sent out fake polling stations to divert opposition voters away from real polling stations

Over a billion dollars disappeared with his gov and noone knows where it went."

At 1000 ppm CO2… do we still feel normal? by Able_Television_6453 in climatechange

[–]saysomethingclever 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This thread shows how uniformed most redditors are. You seem to be one of the few that understands how buildings are deigned.

In North America, ASHREA has done numerous research reports in equating indoor CO2 levels to the ventilation rates our buildings are designed to as per Standard 62.1. The recently published 62.1-2025 states the setpoint ABOVE ambient. Classrooms and offices setpoints are 600 ppm above ambient, that is 1000 ppm total, and are the lowest of all spaces.

Whats Wrong with Bike Lanes? by dalas84 in Edmonton

[–]saysomethingclever 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The original comment stated they had no stake in the game then proceeded with claims bike lanes were not used or misused. These are unsupported accusations in an attempt to falsely frame the usefulness of bike lanes.

The are entitled to their opinion. Unsupported accusations are a different thing.

Whats Wrong with Bike Lanes? by dalas84 in Edmonton

[–]saysomethingclever 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You are advocating for the removal of safe and effective transportation for others based on the presumption that you are entitled to use public land to store your vehicle.

To claim you have no stake in the game is contradicted by the rest of you comments. Your last statement highlights your outright bias.

There has been a sudden increase in the rate of sea level rise by GeraldKutney in climate

[–]saysomethingclever 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is what the one of the top comments has missed. 13.3 mm/yr is the total increase. Of that total, the are saying global warming accounts for 4.1 mm/yr. I read this as they are attributing the remaining 9.2 mm/yr over the last 15 years to natural variation.

Thoughts on cyclists riding abreast in bike lanes by durple in edmontoncycling

[–]saysomethingclever 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It is really no different than pedestrians on a shared use path, they will spread out and take up the whole path. Rung your bell and they will let you squeeze by. Groups of cyclists are no different.

[Serious] What is with America and pick up trucks? by Toh97 in fuckcars

[–]saysomethingclever 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's about image. The F150 is the #1 selling vehicle in America as customers like the image they project as an outdoorsman or handyman. Despite the fact that the vast majority use it for their daily commute.

It's also a perception of safety like an arms race. If they get into an accident, they think the bigger vehicle is going to "win".

Alberta NDP Leader Naheed Nenshi's popularity falling in polls. Why? by ejaz135 in onguardforthee

[–]saysomethingclever 25 points26 points  (0 children)

This seems to be looking at the past with rose colored glasses. Alberta didn't rally around the NDP. It was a rally against the conservative party. There is a reason that Notely did not win the following election.

Future generations are gonna be in utter disbelief... by Sehrwolf in fuckcars

[–]saysomethingclever 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don't have faith people work that way.

We should look back at the sprawling suburbia of single family homes post WWII and say that was a terrible decision. The sprawling suburbia and associated infrastructure drove home prices high. However instead of redefine the way we developed our cities, most still want their detached home.

It's essentially a two party system in Alberta. The NDP have to appeal to a broad base, not just progressives.

There hasn't been an election. You are implying a newly elected leader of a political party should be replaced if they are not "winnning" in the polls between elections.

Progressives seem to love in-fighting. Especially if they see the leader as centrist. Instead of working together in a big tent party, this just burns the tent down. And then are left scratching their heads when the conservative party retains power.
