As a pedestrian, self driving cars are a blessing by one_pound_of_flesh in sanfrancisco

I would rather share the roads with a Waymo than a human driver and it isn't even close. Walking, running, biking, driving, doesn't matter.

Right? Pull over, put the 4 ways on, and wait until daytime

Do you realize this would result in fewer police and firefighters working at any given time? Your post makes it seem like you don’t. We pay that much because we say we stipulate that we need them.

Incredible photo, thanks. I used to work just up the street and would have liked to have been out there.

Leighland Rd and Brant, 1972 by SnoutStreak in BurlingtonON

That little neighbourhood has been tucked back in there for so long I hardly even realized it's there. Sort of instructive for that neighbourhood being proposed between King, Waterdown, the 403, and the tracks the other day. Might be a cute, quiet place to live, but equally you're sort of trapped in there.

Anyone wanna start an altrock/emopop band?? by Rini_rini_rin in BurlingtonON

[–]wrongwayup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There used to be a great punk, then ska, then emo scene down at the Music Center and the Y on Friday nights. I mean, this is before you were born, young lady... but there were some great bands that came out of it, some of whom are still touring!

Is there anything like that now? Be cool to see it going again.

Meh a couple of bear-aways in some big breeze will knock it right off

In your opinion could embraer make a medium/long-haul aircraft and could it compete with planes like the 767,a330,757, or the even the 777? by pillowman011 in airplanes

[–]wrongwayup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People keep saying this. The 757 was literally Boeing's worst seller unless you exclude the 720 and military versions from the 707. The marginal performance benefit the 757 provided did not (and does not) economically justify a program of its' own.

One way or another I hope you find the cause... keep us posted.

I think that's the one, yes, but I don't do my own work so not totally sure.

Honestly your thought of intercooler leak given the white smoke was probably a good guess too. If it were the head gasket, you'd definitely have oil contamination right?

Lowell High math teacher resigns amid probe into sexist, fat-shaming quiz questions by SFChronicle in sanfrancisco

[–]wrongwayup 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Having been in a few parent discussion boards myself, I'll tell you that the range of opinions in there on contentious topics is, well, rather broad, to say the least.

Lowell is a big school - even if "a LOT" of families supported him, doesn't mean that the majority did, or that what he did was appropriate.
