See but what you're not thinking about is all the noise in the country. If you could hear how loud the dozen sea lions are that are sitting on a dock 200 feet from me... ARF ARF ARF. Bunch of jerks.

I was vacuuming and cleaning the kitchen when the first person arrived. You kind of have to answer the door.

I sometimes think of how tragic it would be if dudes riding bikes with modded exhausts on the ring road at 10 pm on a warm evening hit a steel cable placed at neck level and were torn off their bikes. It would be awful. But it might also deter other inconsiderate riders. So something good would come of the tragedy.

TV Shows where the length of the episodes are drastically different - like one episode is 27 minutes and the next is 45.

I'm not sure murder is an appropriate punishment for having a loud exhaust.

Just like the nutjobs that string up fishing line between trees along mountain biking routes to take out cyclists.

You’re right. It’s letting them off easy. It needs to be painful torture then murder.

Honestly struggling how this makes sense in the context of the original post's sarcasm.

That cant be a real thing? Really?

Are those not designated Mountain Biking paths? Its literally for them, who would have issue with that?

If we're taking murder off the table we're never going to solve anything

I thought that was a false flag operation out in Kananaskis. Some dude tried to make money off gofundme.

Can we find him and ship him off to El Salvador? I hear they're taking all comers.

At least bikes on the ring road keep going. The losers on Crescent Road sit there in neutral rev rev rev rev rev rev rev rev rev rev revving their engines.

I'm surprised the homeowners up there don't have snipers on their roofs, at least with paintball guns. I'm tempted to go over there and launch water balloons into their open sunroofs.

How long is the wait in this drive-thru, and how often should one shutdown and restart their truck?

Some of them are so loud they have to shut them off to order.

Pretty much every time you stop in any modern vehicle. I know people like to shutoff the auto stop but #### those people.

Damn, i was excited about this spruce meadows concert series with great bands, thinking they were incorporating the cavalry soccer stadium into an awesome outdoor concert experience.

Nope. Metric, city and colour etc are just playing silly small shows in a tent on site. So lame. Basically a half size cowboys tent. C'mon, you had the perfect opportunity for a fun, unique outdoor concert experience. You can't be that dumb?

I prefer this because it allows shows to be the right length based on the story being told, instead of some arbitrary length that has to be the same each time.

Same with pod-casting. Pod-casts are great because they can be whatever length they need to be, from 10 minutes to 4 hours.

Which isn't to say that creators always make good decisions about this, but it at least allows for that flexibility.
