There's Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Regina, Edmonton, I'm sure more. Calgary was a bit slept on as bigger city though.

I'm a big believer in barefoot shoes for lifting (and basically everything), and there is very little difference between all of xeros shoes. The running ones will be fine IF a barefoot lifting shoe is what you want. If you want a shoe with a big heel wedge, xeros are not it.

Maybe watch some YouTube videos on barefoot lifting before deciding. It's better for flexibility and range of motion and balance, but not necessarily getting the heaviest lift.

Especially with ebikes now a thing. Or even gold carts for those with mobility challenges

Maybe just leave it. Ironically, it will probably be easier to repair if it gets worse and starts to peel up. I told then, just enjoy it. The fix will look worse than the damage.

I feel like we (or the US at least) is past the point of being able to have a common enemy. Covid should have been a rallying cry. It wasn't. Putin's war should have universal condemnation, it doesn't. politics, especially in the US but also elsewhere, prevent us from seeing a common threat. It's obviously also the case with climate change, even moreso.

Unless the enemy is wearing a turban and flies a plane into a building, I'm not sure what woild inspire a wartime-like effort in the US.

It's kind of surprising to me that such a huge ship only needed 21 crew members. Also 7 had to jump overboard because the fire spread so fast.

Fortnine on YouTube recently did a video on using a rugged android phone as a motorcycle computer. It could work well for bikes too. After watching that I looked into it, and there are quite a few options available at all different sizes, many under $200.

Maybe you or someone here can tell me why it's a bad idea on a bike

I don't know them all either, I know Bowness Rd in Montgomery is one, and the changes there with bike lanes and stuff have been pretty positive. Found a bit more info here, but the timeline is even more glacial than. I expected: https://www.calgary.ca/planning/community/main-streets.html?redirect=/mainstreets

I'm not sure if green line uncertainty is the hold up. Many of the city's other "main street" projects seem to be moving pretty slowly. It's a great idea, and the changes I've already seen are great, I just hope implementation could speed up!

I guess there's a Tucker Carlson sized hole of hatred that the other anchors are clamoring to fill
