98 Ave west at the James M bridge.
This is a consistent near miss spot due to the merging traffic proceeding without attempting to smoothly enter the flow of traffic.
The right lane continues into a new lane on the bridge, while the left merges into an existing lane.
Turn onto 98th Ave eastbound. Four lanes across: left turn only; straight through or left turn; straight though or right turn; right turn only.
The Mercedes suv pulls up in the straight through or right turn lane signalling left. When no one makes room they just left turn anyway.
It‘s partly blanked in the video, I could see them in the outer lane turning with the two inner lanes. Video starts with the Mercedes in front of the white pickup as the light turns green.
Then did a left lane change and cut someone off on the James Mac.
Space is always at a premium trying to review complex documents, and now I have this bloody huge Copilot banner on every single Word document. There's no option to remove, and clicking 'generate' just replaces the banner with a summary banner.
This is a corporate M365 subscription (version 2607) under Windows 11 Enterprise, and all of the approaches I've found by searching forums aren't available, suspect it's because admin is centrally managed by the org.
This is a crap move by Microsoft, effectively using a subscription platform to drive business to Copilot. All I want is clear workspace, not losing 1/5 of it to a banner advert. (tbc, I use Copilot routinely, but I don't need it advertising it can generate a summary - this could be a button on the ribbon).
I served in Germany just as the wall came down 91-93. my war tasking was logistics in some command facility outside Frankfurt.
When cleaning out our office as the base at Lahr closed we were throwing out tons of stuff. one thing I saved was this logistics computer - not a classic slide rule, but in the same family.
Intended to perform sustainment calculations for aircraft supplies.
Know nothing else of the history.
Land closure ahead. Usual sort of aggressive Edmonton driver zips forward, then cuts me off so I have to brake suddenly, no signal or wave.
50m further on, another driver rolls to the lane closure sign and signals his merge.
The same aggressive driver zips forward and blocks him from merging. I let him in.
Saw him rolling early on, he didn’t slow, I did..
Getting tired of having to assume every ja-kas- is trying to kill me.
House renovation underway, and the demo crew cut some receptacle NMD that used to feed two receptacles in opposite sides of a pony wall.
I replaced these receptacles 15 years back due to retention force issues. At that time I noted the ground wire was blackened. I assumed there had been some kind of fault with the previous owners.
Now that I can see the wiring, have to say I’ve never encountered this before.
Both receptacles are fed from the same 15A breaker.
There are two NMD runs, one to each receptacle.
This is the weird part - then the two outlets are daisy chained to each other.
I’d expect one or the other, not both.
There’s heat damage to both NMD over the ground wire. One junction box has heat marks over the hot screws, and the hot screws look partly melted.
This is a problem which dates to original construction in 1992 (Canada). It’s apparent there’s been continuous heating but not enough to trip the breaker. I did measure current on the house ground a few years back but it wasn’t unusual.
What I believe has happened is the dual feeds created a net current flow because of the different length of NMD, having slight differences voltage drops.
Anyway, never encountered this in 10 years of residential fire investigations. Any ideas welcome.
