actually forestry is a very sustainable industry and many paper product companies use 100% post consumer recycled paper.

my dad works for this paper product company that makes paper products I guarantee most of you have used at some point and they haven't cut down a tree in decades. like they've been 100% post consumer waste since before it was a marketing term.

rrrrrrrrrrrt posted:and when i converted my newfoundland license to a BC license they asked one question (verbally) which was "what does a blinking green light mean" and I said "i don't know be prepared to stop I guess?" and they said literally "close enough" and gave me my license. blinking green in ontario means you have right of way to turn left but in BC it means the green won't change until a pedestrian pushes the button. definitely not confusing at all lol

mills are crazy, too. i can't imagine what they can do now, but even many years ago they had a computer scan logs/sheets coming in and it would decide what size and length every piece of the tree would be, and off it went down the line, pneumatic jets blowing it off and into a bin as each piece passed by the right one and that was a tiny operation not doing anything too special

also i like traffic circles just as long as nobody else is around because nobody knows what "yield" means or they stop inside the circle with the blinker on waiting for..... who knows

H.P. Hovercraft posted:and blinking yellow means to slow down and yield to vehicles already in the intersection the problem there is sometimes the cross traffic doesn't know that while they have a red blinker the other direction doesn't so they treat it as a 4 way when it isn't one. so u gotta be on ur toes when going thru a yellow blinker

there is a quasi traffic circle near my house that has a stop sign to enter it at one place and people sit there forever even tho traffic is not moving very fast and they could just go if they accelerated a little

I used to work at International Paper and I just hoped the mills had good environmental impact engineers on staff because it's a messy business. Visiting the sites were cool though;but, they smell really bad.

where i grew up it was always left turn yield on green and now every goddamn intersection has a left turn signal that's triggered by a sensor so you're guaranteed to wait through a whole cycle if there's nobody else around i just go ahead and turn left tbqh

Shifty Pony posted:NC required you to be able to identify signs when you applied to convert your out of state license to an in state one. Not multiple choice either, instead it was integrated into one of those eye checking machines. i got three questions wrong (of four allowed) on the california motorcycle written test that i had to do to convert my canadian license over. all of them had to do with lane positioning. in canada, and at any MSF safety course you take, you will be told that you should always ride off-center in the lane, in one of the tracks left by the tires of the car ahead of you. this is because (1) those areas are constantly swept clean of sand and glass and other debris by the cars driving by, (2) because of the previous point, and because the engine is in the middle of the car, any pools of oil and coolant and other fluids are more likely to be in the middle of the lane and (3) being over on one side allows you to "block" cars from trying to share your lane on that side, which they will do if they think they can get away with it. whether you should be in the right tire track or the left tire track at any given time depends on lots of things -- which lane you're in, how many lanes there are in total, divided or undivided road, where the cars are more likely to try to merge in from (based on onramps, side streets, etc), whether you are planning to turn soon, etc etc etc. in california, the answer is always "ride in the center of the lane."

Hovercraft posted:and blinking yellow means to slow down and yield to vehicles already in the intersection look at haight and octavia in sf. haight is two-way on one side and one-way dead-ending into the two-way on the other, and octavia has four central travel lanes, and a divided sort of collector lane on each side with a median in between. cars could be approaching the intersection on the cross street facing each other in both directions, trying to turn either direction into either the travel lanes or the collectors, while cars on octavia itself are piling up on both sides they put a blinking yellow there which i can assume only means "we don't got a fuckin clue what's going on here, just cross yourself and hope for the best" https://www.google.ca/maps/place/Oc...9e5a04be9?hl=en e: had the wrong location Sagebrush fucked around with this message at 23:51 on Jan 5, 2015 |
