Teenaged boys in small towns sure do love tints/transitions eyewear. It's always been and apparently will always be.

So, the US has lost one of their F35 stealth fighter jets... if you happen to find it, please contact the DoD! The pilot had to eject on emergency and the jet is now flying around on auto pilot in stealth mode, so radars can't detect it.

I think we need to contact PepsiCo. They have a track record of absconding with fighter Jets and are wholly untrustworthy.

Did Pepsi finally give the fighter jet to the guy who bought one with Pepsi points?

There was a Netflix Documentary about it, but I'll be honest, I have no idea. I stopped caring pretty early on and never finished it.

I sincerely doubt it.

Honestly, the documentary is really great and the "kid" (now an adult, obvs) is actually a pretty sweet and genuine guy. It's a great show...hit it if you're ever in need of something to watch.

2nd amendment probably allows the Militia of Pinebrook Middle School to have fighter jets.

LOL, pretty much what I just did. The girl has to have an MRI on her head/neck/spine - MRI place is in the same building as that Urgent Care. So, drove up, booted her out and get to sit in the parking lot for the next 30-60 minutes.

You're not wrong though, that interchange is completely bonkers.

I'm pretty sure it was designed by someone who was like 64 years old and knew he was a goner so he just half-assed the hell out of it as a prank on the rest of us.

"This bitch will keep traffic to the Urgent Care Facility down!!"

If Karma existed one day he'd have needed that facility urgently but because of his interchange he couldnt get it...

That intersection is super fkn weird, but as long as you just kind of ignore what doesn't apply to you and follow the signs it seems to spit you out where you need to be with very little drama. Like, when I'm in it I have no idea what anybody else is doing because we're all just sort of zigzagging and curving around, but it seems to work flawlessly.

Best intersection in Calgary for safety and flow, plus it was funny seeing traffic engineers from all over the country come to gawk at it

That is the key to the interchange. Read the sign as far in advance as possible and line your car up with the arrow underneath your destination. Seems simple, but so hard to execute for some.
