  • Yup. I’ve never really felt compelled to steal anything at all in my life, but I found some silverware like this at a restaurant one time and I don’t think I had much of a choice.

    Once I felt that ideal shape in my hand, with the perfect amount of heft distributed exactly as it should be, I knew I could never go back to using regular flat silverware.

    The waiter caught me trying to clumsily hide the one set, and then he brought me a second one to take home as a gift. It was one of the nicest things, I’ll never forget it.






  • Yeah, 132 avenue is really critical to the provincial road network. /s

    The scale of stupidity on display here is honestly humbling. He’s talking about a 2-lane residential collector road. It’s literally 5 blocks away from a freeway the city just spent a billion dollars expanding. Don’t know how to merge? No problem! There’s an 8-lane monstrosity with traffic lights 5 blocks in the other direction. As you can see, the road network in that area is already massively overbuilt. The concern over losing driving lanes/parking spots is ridiculous in general, but to try to apply it to this road is so preposterously disingenuous, it verges on parody.

    I would also like to add that the province of Alberta withheld over $100M in disaster relief from Jasper because the town wouldn’t commit to building single-family detached housing. Just to give you an idea of how far they’re willing to go to own the urban libs.
