well hov lanes are on the wrong side of exits

hov here is on the exit side and also shares with the bus lane in many segments
but the bottlenecks are coming into the cities anyway so best case you get to wait 45 minutes 5 minutes sooner :q:

also a tunnel which is 2 lanes each way except rush hour when some gates and lights turn one lane into counterflow

it doesn't help much.

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

in BC they added another little light thing, so if you have right-of-way/advance left your lights are still red BUT a blinking arrow appears at the bottom.
if it's exclusively a left turn lane another set of lights are specifically for your lane

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

if you ever get ahold of a GRiD pc you are going to have so much fun with the disks

the best part of soylent is that there's sites where you can share recipees for mixtures. then you just go to walmart and gnc to get the stuff

the most popular one is a GNC multivitamin pre-workout powder+some fancy grain powder. plus cacium/magnesium and if you're feeling fancy some fish oil :v:

how much money has he spent now? i bet he got donations
i bet he could have razed the house, bought the next lot, flattened that house, combined the lots, and built a new house with the money and time he's thrown down a expanding-foam-lined-broken-PVC drain inside this one.
