Any garbage can that requires instructions ("Flaps open when pushed" and whatever it says on the foot pedal) is a miserable failure of excessive design....

Of course, the worst thing about the ad is not the placement, but the glaring error in it....

that BIG HUNK OF METAL y'all seem to hate goes a long way in protecting one's life in an accident. It also goes a long way in creating the hazard that one's life needs protection from....

I agree that there would be a number of benefits to moving away from (but not abandoning) a car-centric culture, I think it's past time to abandon a car-centric culture. That's not to say that cars s...

The logical fallacy should be obvious here. It's not a logical fallacy; it's a statement of fact. You're reading something into my comment that isn't there. I'm not asking for exceptions, nor am I wh...

The one thing I couldn't figure out was the reason for it. Please inform me when someone figures it out because so far it seems they were out to annoy. Read the link that David posted in the article....

You don't need a car to carry a 2x4; just toss it over your shoulder and walk. If you're buying too many 2x4s to carry, patronize a store that delivers. You also don't need two tonnes of metal and pla...

I posted on my blog last year about a supposed pedestrian-friendly Canadian Tire big box gone awry on the Danforth. Always be wary of artist's conceptions....
