The sea to sky highway, when it was still one lane in each direction, was sometimes referred to by BC Understanders as the 'scream and die' highway, due to the dangers of 1 lane traffic with curvy mountain roads and rapidly changing weather conditions. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British...

In Vancouver proper there were daffodils in the ditches, grass, and leafed out trees, and 45 minutes was all it took before you drove in to winter. The regular transition between the top of the mountain and sea level in late winter/early spring was magical.

Related/unrelated one of the most fun experiences of being there to do ski patrol for the 2010 Vancouver olympics was the experience of staying in the city of Vancouver with friends and then commuting up the sea to sky highway (widened for the event) to the site in Whistler.

Canada has a term for removal of vulnerable people from the city where they are abandoned by cops to fend for themselves with no resources. They're called starlight tours. spheresofinfluence.ca/canadas-best...

Canada's Best-Kept Secret: Starlight Tours

For decades, the Canadian public has overlooked Starlight Tours. Within Indigenous communities, this practice is all too familiar.

why, that's a *steal* for the smart piss ball, and I can't wait to find out how much the monthly subscription for the piss-sniffing service costs, and it'll be so useful, and I won't mind the occasional leaking of data on my leaks until the inevitable shutdown day, when my piss ball is sadly bricked

The Mountain Understander spouse told me we were taking a snow shovel on our drive through the Rockies, the first time.
My prairie ass was like, but it's spring?
Spouse: we are going 2km above sea level, do you think the mountains care that it's spring?

I regret to inform everyone that my pedantic brain couldn’t let me live until I knew whether or not dodger blue and blue jays blue are the same blue. They are ONE PANTONE NUMBER APART.

a graphic showing the pantone numbers for the two core colors of the toronto blue jays. they are skydome blue (pantone 293) and Stieb Navy (pantone 282)

The Coworkers were discussing this and there have honestly been years where we were laughing when flu shots showed up like "about time, we've been in viral season for a while!" We have all been saying the Summoning Words (RSV) while knocking on wood/our heads but team RSV vaccine is here for it.

Gotta say between the school stuff and the province paying for RSV vaccines, uh, don't jinx it, but I got my flu shot before PICU got slammed with bronchiolitics on bipap.

For example, in a place where covid vaccination is around 80% and the province spent a lot of money on school ventilation systems for respiratory illnesses, this will reflect in the outcome effects that show up in the hospital. Of course the risks seem lower to me. Because they are.

I think people also sometimes think they hate mayo from an early experience, but what they actually hate is mayo’s evil and inferior diet cousin, Miracle Whip

Ranch is indeed the actual Identifying Sauce of white middle America, not mayonnaise

Yes. That’s the white Midwestern condiment that the rest of the world is baffled by, not the French cold mother sauce that gets used in fucking everything, everywhere around the globe

Thousand island dressing includes onions and pickle, and if you add mustard to this it makes a great dressing for a cheeseburger salad.
