It's pretty fun so far, and I haven't even finished the training levels.

65 kilograms of cocaine, bound for Calgary, seized at B.C. border | Globalnews.ca in c/calgary@lemmy.ca

The B.C. RCMP’s officer in charge of the federal serious and organized crime unit said this operation, and others like this, are crucial in combatting the ongoing drug crisis in the province.

It's only a crisis because drugs are illegal, free of regulations and inspection. If the government abandoned their "wAr oN dRuGs" and instead spent all that money regulating "narcotic" production then there wouldn't be a crisis.

I've been riding bikes for years, and I've only had to change a tube maybe 3 times. I only ride on paved surfaces though, so it's nothing like trail riding or what have you... anyway, I'm very unpractised on tube changing; particularly when trying to get the tire off of the rim. It takes maybe 30 minutes to change a tube with a lot of pinched fingers and swearing.

Cheers!

It finally happened. (lemmy.ca)
 

I truck pulled out in front of me today, and I side swiped it. Luckily I know how to fall, and most of the impact went into the upper right portion of my back but the truck confused my roll a bit and I ended up with some cuts and bruises on my ankle and knee and a small crack on the back of my helmet. The one day I decide not to wear jeans...

My bike is still ridable but there's some weird vibrations when braking now. I hope the frames not bent... it probably is. The rear brake handle was bent too and I can't shift into the lowest gear. I might need a new bike and I definitely need a new helmet; not a big deal really, ICBC will cover it... I just feel lucky I grew out of the "I know how to fall so I don't need a helmet" phase.

My knee is starting to swell up... tomorrow's going to be a lot of fun. Good thing the paramedics gave some of their ambulance drugs.

I'm gunna miss that bike.
