Vancouver
- Some nice wood grain around the shop today. #woodworking
- I can't wait till this feature comes to Vancouver so I can roast @vote4abc.bsky.social @cityofvancouver.bsky.social
- NAS prices have really shot up, eh?
- @planetmoney.bsky.social have you heard about Ogopogo, the serpent that lives in Okanagan lake, right beside the now famous town Kelowna?
- I’m unreasonably proud of this, and it fits the “ps5 is ugly, so my partner made me hide it” meme. Bonus that it stops my cats from scratching the couch.
- I guess it helps if I tag this #woodworking
- Reposted by mark burgeLet’s use the snow to build protected intersections before the cars come back #walkto @ffsafestreets.bsky.social @shawnmicallef.bsky.social @rzaichkowski.bsky.social
- My apprenticeship hours are complete!

- Hypothetically, wouldn’t an order to attack a legal ally be an illegal order?
- As I trigger all sorts of JAG officers….
- Hey remember when Americans said annexing Canada was a joke?
- Reposted by mark burgeMy response on Reddit about American responsibility. I’m aware how hard this is at an individual level. Here in Ontario we’ve elected the same corrupt moron 3x. But if your leader is attacking countries & citizens, crossing your arms and saying “I didn’t vote for him” isn’t good enough.
- ebikes are faster than cars or transit for most trips in Vancouver. Even from deep suburbs of South vancouver, it's still on average to ride on poorly signed bike routes than it is to drive.
- Reposted by mark burgeI have attempted a tierlist of common styles of bike racks. (Just install staple racks!)
- Because municipal issues affect people the most in their day to day life.
- Well, except for 77 million of you.
- Like this had to be custom made- the choices here are on purpose.
- Good news it seems like I won’t have to go and get a new computer power supply unit today. Peaks and valleys all the time
- 32 percent of 4061 is 1300 people. Where's the outrage for motor vehicle speeding laws and enforcement? safetrec.berkeley.edu/2025-safetre...
- I am that lawmaker: CA lawmaker proposes legislation to restrict e-bike speed as safety concerns rise abc7news.com/post/califor...
- Where's the legislation to restrict motor vehicle speed as safety concerns rise? Oh wait, it's not about ebikes topping out at 40km/h- it's about them being a threat to the auto industry.

- Teenagers know BS when they see it.
- Reposted by mark burgeA lot of urbanists have a weird relationship with delivery - when people say they need cars, they tell them to get deliveries; when there isn't facility for deliveries, they say tough shit and call delivery workers lazy. (Quoted post part of thread - read that before replying stuff I've addressed.)
- Also, my cats seem to love this scratch box I made of Tigerwood.
- Stranger things is a textbook example of what happens when you give too much power to writers without a strong editor and producers watching their backs. The first 2 seasons are so much more coherent and tight. Season 3 is where they started to get money and more influence and it started to suffer.
- Reposted by mark burgeRealizing there were like five seasons of Slow Horses in between seasons 4 and 5 of Stranger Things.
- Looking to buy a pair of Blum tandem 750 drawer slides, but I can’t find anywhere that stocks them.
- Looking at you @cityofvancouver.bsky.social with the breweries in industrial areas of the city with generally poor bike infrastructure and bus service.
- Reposted by mark burgeI love iodized salt. I love fluoridated water. I love enriched flour. I love public health tools that save lives and improve quality of health just by silently existing. They're amazing.
- It's so close.
- Reposted by mark burgeWe heard you liked countdowns, so we're bringing you a new one: Desert Bus for Hope 2026, our 20th voyage, will be launching on October 23rd, 2026. #db2026 More information to follow.
- The Stranger Things finale is easily one of the best in the past twenty years.
