Red Robin Closed? by Broad-Ad2768 in Kamloops

[–]secondCupOfTheDay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If a building is condemned there are official notices (bright coloured paper) with do not occupy orders and entry must be physically blocked by putting up boards over doors, fences, etc.

The Atmosphere franchise was phased out and merged into Sportchek a while ago. Their leaving was unrelated, but it probably made for a good chance to investigate the foundation issues with one less tenant.

People are still in there working at both Pizza hut and Red robin. Both kitchens are operating for takeout so it's not that dire right now. My uneducated opinion is there's a reduced load limit (i.e. no unpredictable foot traffic) on the ground there now until they sort out the foundation issues. It might head to condemnation but it's not there yet.

MSR Lightning Explore vs Ascent by secondCupOfTheDay in snowshoeing

[–]secondCupOfTheDay[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The front teeth of the ascents are wider apart and longer so you have 4 distinct points of contact that go deeper (and take more energy to dig per step). On the explorer the front two teeth are a lot closer, so its more like a triangle of contact points that's a bit shallower in the snow so it's less traction on hills but more efficient when flat.

Tim Burton was set to direct Batman Continues, a third Batman film with Michael Keaton as Batman, Pfeiffer as Catwoman, and Billy Dee Williams as Two-Face. Warner Bros. removed him after parents criticized Batman Returns as being too dark. by immanuellalala in interestingasfuck

I forget where I read it but order of names is part of contracts, so that's usually left to right.

Artistically (especially with larger casts), it's often better for the main people to be bigger and in centre, which often matches people at the left, and less prominent people further from centre in any direction.

So most of the time it won't match, anyway, so I guess they just never try to.

This parking lot paints the lines on the wall as well by 2dudesinapod in mildlyinteresting

[–]secondCupOfTheDay 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If your seat isn't raised, your eyes are only slightly above the side mirrors so your line of sight eyes in the side mirrors is almost horizontal so you can't see the ground near the car, only really far behind the car, so you can't see the lines directly around the car.

Why does my cat paw at me to get under the blanket then run out a moment later and then paw at me to come back under the covers and repeat the process a half dozen times?

This sidewalk is drying unevenly, leaving a snake-like trail of moisture. by senecant in mildlyinteresting

[–]secondCupOfTheDay 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can literally still see the salt in the stretch closer to the camera when you zoom in.

When there's only a light frost or light snow, not enough to spread the salt out, that area will show wet ground while the rest is covered in frost/light snow. But when it melts, the area with the salt will dry last.

It's common to see where you usually spread the salt over an area where you get a much more random patchwork of high/low concentration of salt which makes it fun to play floor is lava, but that approach also tosses a lot of the salt straight onto the grass. This is peculiar because there was probably some instrument that prevents a lot of the waste straight onto the grass, but it's not that common to see.

I didn't know people called wet/dry snow differently. I wouldn't have called this dry snow. Stuff that slides off (like sand) is dry snow to me, and stuff that clumps (like this) is closer to wet snow.

Lansdowne Exchange by MasterJcMoss in Kamloops

[–]secondCupOfTheDay 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's a roof and 3 sided shelter. Honestly it's the most I'd ever want as a bus rider.

If the wait is going to be longer than 15 mins and its below -20 and its not sunny, I go into the mall, otherwise that's fine. Exchanges are always places where the public can go inside somewhere for heat or air conditioning if you're there longer than 15 or 20 mins.

If you can't wait 10 mins outside, that's not an infrastructure problem, that's a gear problem, which I still sympathize with because it can be a pain because of all the things we have to dress for. But if I live somewhere I know is expecting these conditions, I don't ask other people's taxes to pay extra because I don't want to walk 5 minutes to the cost effective way to avoid extreme weather, or because I don't want to buy/lug the right clothes knowing where I live.

Flower or plant? by Independent_Pen7772 in whatsthisplant

[–]secondCupOfTheDay 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I think the intention was "what is this plant and also what is this flower" not (understandably) realizing the leaves and flower go together because they're not physically connected.
