I always see the basement. But it's basically the weird basement of CP, so as you said, makes sense.

Does anyone know how to disable those random images in the list on Tapatalk? I'd rather just see this list, but there's no setting that I can find.

Then they'll slowly angle left across every lane of traffic to turn at the next intersection. This will then block multiple lanes for a while; downtown especially.

Tonsil stones.

Little weird chunks of stinky white calcium that develop on your tonsils and occasionally flake off into your throat/mouth. Gross.

And there's no cure and nothing else about them. They just are what they are.

Get your tonsils removed, that's what I did.

Kind of annoyed with the Hells Angels revving their stupid motorcycle engines while parading on 17th.

Which reminds me. I've never actually seen the Hells Angels in the city before. Must be some sort of gang summit.

For you cyclists and non-cyclist this is how to find the sensors. I hate it when their are those people that stop a full car length from the stop line.

From Bikesense British Columbia book

Traffic signals
Many traffic signals are triggered by electrically charged wires buried under the pavement. When a vehicle stops over the wires, the metal disrupts the current, which sends a signal to a traffic light control box.

Does the car have to be at a complete stop to trigger? I'm thinking slow roll semi's up to the turn light.

Most bicycles contain enough metal to trigger the light, but you should know where the most sensitive spots are. Look for cut lines in the pavement, filled with tar. Depending on the shape, the most sensitive spots are:

Diamonds: just inside one of the points.
Circles: about a quarter of the way in.
Rectangles: up front, in the middle.
If you cannot trigger the light, and you have waited an appropriate amount of time, treat the traffic light as an uncontrolled intersection and proceed when it is safe to do so.

Does the vehicle have to be at a complete stop to trigger the induction sensor. I'm thinking about slow roll semi's approaching the light.

“There is an important difference between the words 'losers' and 'outlaw.' One is passive and the other is active, and the main reason the Angels are such good copy is that they are acting out the day-dreams of millions of losers who don't wear any defiant insignia and who don't know how to be outlaws. The streets of every city are thronged with men who would pay all the money they could get their hands on to be transformed-even for a day-into hairy, hard-fisted brutes who walk over cops, extort free drinks from terrified bartenders and thunder out of town on big motorcycles after raping the banker's daughter. Even people who think the Angels should all be put to sleep find it easy to identify with them. They command a fascination, however reluctant, that borders on psychic masturbation.”

Cracked my phone screen. Anyone able to recommend a place that fixes Samsung screens in town in a reasonable amount of time?

What's your problem? Do you just like being an ass in threads you don't like, or what?

If there's one problem you have, it's letting losers like that bother you.

They're just lonely, hoping for a little ego rub & tug from being able to get a reaction out of someone.

Best just to let them embarrass themselves. The drive-by comment crowd that can't seem to do anything but trash posters/threads are most socially unaware bunch on CP. I mean hey, at least while I'm being a dick I'm lessening the impact of the point I'm making while I do it. They don't even have a point. Just "derp derp derp, bad thread you suck".

You got all butt hurt because I mentioned that most people in the city tier thread were ranking more or less by population. I wasn't rude or being an "ass".

I hope I haven't damaged your self image beyond repair.

Start another thread and I promise I'll post nothing but praise to your glorious posts.

Hard to say "I wasn't being an ass!" while being a total ass.
