Should we get into the controversy of how dense bagels should be and whether the only true bagel is a Montreal-style bagel? Whether places like Good Bread that sell lighter, fluffier bagels are in fact guilty of fraud?

(I actually kinda prefer the Good Bread style ones)

Verdict of the Bagel Court: Guilty of heresy.

Sentence imposed: Burn the heretic (in a Montreal-style wood burning bagel oven of course) and then sprinkle his charred corpse with sesame seeds.

Friday, especially if it's anticipated so they're not spending the weekend stressing over the hammer falling on Monday.

Hey, I am not the only one, otherwise the plains wouldn’t be sold out.

I think there is room for different types of bagels, just like their are pizza styles. Except for the gluten free Promise brand, those are just their buns with a dimple. That is, in fact, fraud.

They are probably the triple lane changers I have beside me every day. Inside lane, turn right and then immediately cut across every lane to the far lane.

So a few years ago a bus did the double and I was driving on 33 AVE SW west after Crow. Figured they would just do a single but did the double, had to rip up onto the meidan in my little garbage audi. wrecked the tires. Police happened to being doing speed checks on the other side and saw it. Filed a complaint. Nothing ever happened from it. No replies. Out $1k. whatever.

Another did it this week. WTF?

Are City busses allowed to just do whatever? One lane makes sense. Two seems a step too far. I was told they can do whatever. Nice to know if that is the case.

Can you draw a map (like use Snipping Tool on a Google Maps satellite view or something) because I'm not quite certain what you're describing other than "bus takes two lanes".

I think he means when they pull out of a bus stop, they cross over into the second lane sometimes.

I know they do that when going through downtown underpasses because they don't have enough clearance to stay in a single lane, but I've never heard of this being a meaningful issue. On the bright side, fotze has a Bronco now so he can just urban 4x4 around the guy while flipping him the bird and honking.

Why wouldn't they be allowed go over two lanes? You're allowed, I'm allowed safe to assume they're allowed. Downtown you see buses pull out from bus stops and are forced to quickly go over the 3-4 lanes. BVS and Suncor Energy have bus stops on their northside EB and you see those guys pull out and get over fast to go north on center.

Be cautious and don't assume

Why is everyone's favourite braking zone the five meters before a turning lane starts? It doesn't matter if they're turning or going straight; or if there are twenty cars stopped or none. They get in your way if turning and make you slow down unnecessarily when you're going straight.


Please pay attention to how your driving affects others on the road.

Like sesame seeds, or worse yet, “everything seasoning” - which is essentially the most disgusting wtf seasoning man has created. It’s like the “oh ####, we got too much leftover granulated garlic, onion, and salt. Let’s ruin something with it”.

My only mortal sin is not being enough of an early bird to get the plain bagels before they sold out.

I need to start my deceleration early so I’m only going 50 when I hit the merge lane onto an 80/100kmh road.
