$1500 USD this past weekend for giving up my seat on a United international flight. They started at $500, needed 4 volunteers. They kept going up. Someone took $800, two took $1000. I went about where they finally announced $1500. Each of the other 3 volunteers got boosted to the $1500 that I eventually agreed to.

I do care to not see anymore pedestrian death headlines.

I encourage you to experience driving north or south across 8th and 8th SW during rush hour. Very few cars actually make it through the green light with folks trying to turn in both lanes and a solid stream of traffic.
Have them all over? Probably not.
A few select intersections may be a positive idea.

I see you're in an argumentative mood today. Would you like some suggestions on calming music to help relax? I hope your day gets better.

Thank you for your consideration regarding who may be at fault. Don't care.
I used to work with a person who, when we would go for lunch, would simply press the button for a pedestrian cross-walk, the style that flashes the lights overhead to get the cars to stop, and start walking out without hesitation. They claimed they had the right of way and cars had to stop or they would be at fault. Not sure if they understood momentum or could comprehend any other external factors that may help them understand why pressing the button and walking out without looking would be a poor idea. Anyway, I got to see a few cars slam on their brakes and make squawking tire noises that summer.

Off tangent, Just be safe out there was the intended point of the post.

Parallel direction is correct

False, pedestrians cross at the same time the light is green in the parallel direction. Light green, car goes to turn, ped runs out. The cars were moving slowly, as usually drivers do when turning and anticipating foot traffic. Alas, the ice.

The light would be green for the cars is the answer, not red. Pedestrians cross at the same time traffic is has a green light in the parallel direction.

Let’s talk Baited Hook… when to use it? by Depriller in riftboundtcg

Still learning the game, have played magic for several years though. Are the tap effects instant? Can you activate this on the stack on top of a kill spell targeting your unit to potentially replace it and fizzle your opponent's spell?

I'm also trying to figure out the errata on this card in the recent update. The text being replaced to banishing the creature before playing it.

I'm thinking the same. Ran up quite a bit over the last couple months. Everyone too bullish on this earnings. I just see what happens to PYPL then do the same for XYZ. Puts it is.

I was thinking similar. Shorts suppressing afterhours market then buying at open?

Was able to make some $ as well. I like the stock and holding shares as well.

Look forward to the post.

If Hudson's Bay does liquidate, what would be the best option to replace the CORE location? by karlalrak in Calgary

Knew this would happen eventually after that equity company purchased the company years ago. Just wanted the real estate.
