  • Yeah I’ve seen loads of these in Canada.

    Just what the fuck were they thinking? Like seriously, who designed this and thought it was a good idea? This is painfully stupid.

    Then again, most traffic rules and street designs are done be so poorly that driving and riding bikes is safer and easier in Mexico.

    The Canadian traffic light are just hilarious and horrible at the same time. For example:

    Green in Europe, and Mexico, means you can just go. Theoretically, you can close your eyes and croos and be fine (obviously don’t do this, but by design, you could). In Canada a green light means shit. You can try to cross now, but (for example)making a left turn with your car is a hellish experience where you still have to dodge oncoming traffic that also got green, then try not to murder pedestrians that also got green.

    Another one?

    6 lane stroad and 4 Lane stroad intersect, and only the 6 lane one has traffic lights for cars, so if you gotta cross that, you have to get out of your car, press the pedestrian crossing button, get back in and wait for the pedestrian light or, alternatively, you pray VERY hard to whatever god is out there, find a possible gap, close your eyes and floor it. This is how my son got sideswiped by some newbie trying to cross like that.

    That is Canadian traffic for you.






  • But the Trump-Vance administration admitted last month that there was no warrant, claiming it didn’t need one to arrest the Columbia pro-Palestine and anti-war protest leader because “it was likely he would escape before they could obtain a warrant.”

    That is not how warrants work, that’s not how anything works.

    Lawyei involved in this should be disbarred. If you make arguments that blatantly ignore US law then you have no business being a lawyer. If you lie for your client in court, disbar that shit.











  • Seeing title:

    revolutionary

    Rule: when someone claims a revolutionary product, it’s probably bullshit as I see revolutionary product announcements about twice a day and real revolutions about once every decade at best.

    Reading article:

    Yeap, this is something somewhere in some lab that one day maybe a decade from now find its way into a consumer product, but probably not air conditioners anyway…

    For the moment it sort of sounds sort of like a Peltier cooler, which also is useless for airconditioning
