@saltwatersteve @OMSYSTEMcameras Take a look at the Seestar Astro camera product line. I recently got the S50 and love it!

@CompletedStreet Step 1: start referring to it as “driver calming.” Agency matters.

[Bruce Butler 🇨🇦🏊🏻‍♂️🚴🏻‍♂️🏃🏼 @ButlerAuthor]

@CompletedStreet And it should be referred to as “driver calming.” Traffic doesn’t have agency - the people who operate the vehicles do. Big difference.

@_HistoryNerd An incomplete summary, at best. The steel used in the Titanic's hull had a ductile-to-brittle transition temperature that was significantly higher than the water temperature:

@Lucyincanada @CTVVancouver @VisionZeroYVR How about we start by calling it “driver calming.” Agency matters.

@a_wahlin @ScienceAdvances @goteborgsuni @Naturvetenskap Someone will find her, sometime in the possibly distant future… 🤞🏻

@RespectTO @TheBikingLawyer Would be a more effective msg if using the active voice, eg “A driver killed a cyclist here last week”

[Bruce Butler 🇨🇦🏊🏻‍♂️🚴🏻‍♂️🏃🏼 @ButlerAuthor]

@IRPlawyer Maybe instead trying to defend yourself you should just accept punishment like a responsible adult.

@milneice It’s called “induced demand.”

@saltwatersteve @Adobe I switched from Photoshop to GIMP.

@BobFromAccounts @theJeremyVine @Mark_J_Harper @Telegraph We must also go after all those free-loading pedestrians. Building them sidewalks (pavement), crosswalks, overpasses, etc. - they should be taxed and forced to wear number plates so drivers can report them for the most minor of transgressions.

@CaulfieldTim @HPE_OHT @OntarioHealthOH @AHS_media @DocMCohen I think pseudoscience gets legitimized every time it is called that. Should be referred to as “fake science.”

[Bruce Butler 🇨🇦🏊🏻‍♂️🚴🏻‍♂️🏃🏼 @ButlerAuthor]

@VisionZeroYVR @Lucyincanada Your message would be more powerful if you use active voice and include agency, e.g.

“lost their life” -> “killed by driver”

“people won’t die” -> “people won’t be killed by drivers”

[Bruce Butler 🇨🇦🏊🏻‍♂️🚴🏻‍♂️🏃🏼 @ButlerAuthor]

@IRPlawyer “Let’s not devolve our society to the point where we’re actively threatening drivers.”

But it’s okay for drivers to constantly threaten, bully, and harass vulnerable road users on a daily basis while hiding inside their 2000lb killing machines?

@humptydumpty482 @soccerfanRVA @VisionZeroYVR @granville_isle So does cycling with a baseball bat (clearly) sticking out of your backpack.

[Bruce Butler 🇨🇦🏊🏻‍♂️🚴🏻‍♂️🏃🏼 @ButlerAuthor]

@soccerfanRVA @VisionZeroYVR @granville_isle It’s called “levelling the playing field.” Deal with it.

@almightypod @theJeremyVine Wearing a backpack with a baseball bat clearly sticking out works wonders.

Happy #PiDay2024 ! How are you going to celebrate?

Just got my cheque from the #PublicLendingRight program for having my books in public libraries.

Thanks @CanadaCouncil!
