I don't know whether to be worried about the debt. Even in my personal finances the concept is too esoteric for me to feel comfortable holding any debt. Getting a mortgage felt like a crazy risk for me and I paid it off in like 6 years. I get that there's value in carrying debt for those who...

All those differences you guys listed are the differences between tunnels and surface routes. The three types of trains are subways, LRTs, and streetcars, and any of them can run underground or above ground. Of course the topic won't make sense to you if you're thinking apples versus oranges...

Induced demand.

If a person in the same situation was shown to have deliberately decided not to try and avoid the collision, as the software engineers did back in the office months earlier, he'd be charged with something like reckless endangerment or vehicular homicide. Why shouldn't the same justice be applied...

For all you libertarians out there, this is the reason we have to deal with red tape.

NTSB preliminary findings are out. Uber basically designed a killing machine, on purpose. https://arstechnica.com/cars/2018/05/emergency-brakes-were-disabled-by-ubers-self-driving-software-ntsb-says/

Federal Liberal memberships are free, provincial Liberal memberships aren't. If somebody paid for a provincial membership for them then that person corrupted democracy, which is what I said. What you said is signing people up solely for the purpose of winning a nomination is wrong. But it...

Yikes $$$ was this a private sale?

What you describe as the swamp is actually part of every party's legitimate democratic process. What you didn't describe, Doug's buying members, is corrupt and contrary to all parties' rules.

In the Q and A it seemed as though the mileage charge stopped accruing after 9000km.

If you wonder what Brown means when he says the PC nominations are "controversial" and need fixing, this is what he means: Doug Ford accused of buying memberships to help preferred candidate win Tory nomination...

Hey that reminds me when I ran over a running goose on my bicycle. It was chasing another goose in the park and boy, if you don't think those things can turn on a dime on the run, let me tell you they can turn on a dime! It ran with half-flapping wings right under my studded winter tires (sorry...

Or iOS.

Hey, hiding in garages works in Grand Theft Auto. This is just like that, right?

My cooling fan went out a few years ago and the first time I noticed was when I wss riding down the 404. I tried to keep temps down by shutting the engine off when stopped but it didn't help. That wide open diamond lane was calling my name so I took it. I even took the diamond off ramp to the...

His bike also slowed down when he stood it up so his path crossed the path of the other bike later. Even looking at it frame by frame it's doubtful there would have been room for him between the downed bike and the rider behind him, who stayed mostly leaned over.

This:

If he hit the bike with a bit of lean angle, which was very possible since he was so close, he never would have had a chance. Standing the bike up is probably part of what saved him.

I'd say it's mostly skill. The physics of the collision are just part of the problem he was faced with. It's not 'luck' that someone crashed in front of him. The fact that it was a collision which could be rode through is incidental to the fact that he managed to ride through it without...
