I think most of them require ascending at least 30-50m of steps or stairs every day, and when you forget your meds at the base you get to do it twice.

That sounds like an intro to a story from a gay penthouse forum magazine.

There were so many mushroom dispensaries in Toronto but they were all shuttered.

The other day I came home and my room had tgat burnt electrical smell and the power bar we haave didnt seem to work any longer. Nothing was drawing from it at the time except some blood pressure monitor not in use. A recptacle in the bar was all black and singed. It was fried. Really nice power bar/station thing. Weird.

Kid at wifes school mentioned all the houses on his block heard poppimg noises at aroumd the same time, apparently a transformer blew on something. Can i ask for a new power bar since they fataed it up? Im sure not a chance.

You can actually. Have done it. Just call them up and they send someone out to drop one off.

You could ask for a new blood pressure monitor as well .

He radioed the other watch tower, his train of thought divided with the memory of the last time he could hear the sounds of a helicopter fluttering above him.

Why can’t we have a Chinook helicopter or something equipped with a giant claw that is dedicated solely to responding to vehicle accidents that can just pick up the vehicles and get them off the roads and quickly as possible? Wouldn’t this get everyone back up and running pretty smoothly? I bet it’s faster than having the firetrucks and tow trucks trying to navigate through the congested traffic.

I assume you don't want to move someone who may be injured in that manner and amplify any injuries?

Increasing flight options is worth considering though. Maybe drones to fly over and digitally assess the situation before resources arrive might be a solid concept? Drones in general to do certain area investigations in general vs helicopters/emergency vehicles are also worth considering?

Maybe people should learn they don't need to stop in the middle of the road in a fender bender? Get the #### outa the way and get somewhere safe. This also goes for cops pulling you over for traffic infractions. Use an ounce of common sense and pull in somewhere safe. Unless you are in the States, where you might get pit manoeuvred if you drive 10 feet too far.

Idiots often pull over to the left lane of the highways in the GTA. Insane behaviour.

But everything needs to be left exactly as is so the cops can do they’re detailed forensic analysis to determine fault. Put out evidence markers, take photos and measurements, etc

For the most part, ambulances have already gotten to the scene if it’s a serious accident. It’s the prolonged delays waiting around for tow trucks and hazmat teams to clean up a bit of radiator fluid and odds & ends.
