Chris H @chris-huggable.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Google News is one of the last things I still rely on Google for, and it's honestly just turning to shit. "Technology", eh? 020
Chris H @chris-huggable.bsky.social · 16/09/2026...and we're stuck in traffic getting onto the bridge. Add dedicated BRT lanes now! 130
Chris H @chris-huggable.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I need to pick up something at MEC in North Van, and I'm taking the new R2 bus from Metrotown instead of driving. 220
Chris H @chris-huggable.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Apparently we all need a copy of @xkcd.com "Duty Calls" on our wall 😆 030
Chris H @chris-huggable.bsky.social · 13/08/2026If you look at the video from that moment of the eclipse, the whole thing is basically AI slop - from the orange cat's eye being visible, to the black cat's arms, claws, face, all of it. 100
Chris H @chris-huggable.bsky.social · 10/08/2026Overpowered e-bikes are a scourge. Our 500watt/32kph maximum is a good limit. That said, wherever police intend to start testing e-bikes for being capable of exceeding that limit (and they SEIZED this one for going over) THESE ASSHOLES BETTER DAMN WELL BE DOING THE SAME FUCKING THING FOR CARS! 🙄 292
Chris H @chris-huggable.bsky.social · 31/07/2026Just two blocks, then back to shared streets? 🫤 www.beheardnewwest.ca/en-CA/projec... 100
Chris H @chris-huggable.bsky.social · 19/07/2026Ours are all yellow here in Vancouver. It's the same as telling pedestrians to wear bright colours - none of it matters when drivers are staring at their phones. 040
Chris H @chris-huggable.bsky.social · 08/06/2026They all surely go home horrified after visiting here... 1201
Chris H @chris-huggable.bsky.social · 25/05/2026PUT THIS IMAGE AT THE TOP IF YOU'RE GONNA WRITE A HEADLINE LIKE THIS. 0160
Chris H @chris-huggable.bsky.social · 06/04/2026Same in Burnaby. What I don't get though, is even the design is bad? Why are the bus lanes used as turning lanes? I think of Willingdon, for example, where cars turning into BCIT block the bus lane, but there's a million pedestrians crossing, so everyone always gets stuck? It's ridiculous! 030
Chris H @chris-huggable.bsky.social · 04/04/2026I mean, yeah, Musk flat out said that's the plan... 010
Chris H @chris-huggable.bsky.social · 22/03/2026That kinda depends on your motivation for doing it? 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ 001
Chris H @chris-huggable.bsky.social · 23/02/2026WestJet, AirCanada, and Porter all list Vancouver/Toronto flights on Wed as $743. All of them. To the dollar. You know, because we have a free market that supports competition, but also, I guess, that must just be what the cost is to fly someone there, right? What a crock of shit. Fuck Capitalism. 000
Chris H @chris-huggable.bsky.social · 12/01/2026It's been brought to my attention that Amazon has DOZENS of listings for "phone shaker" for cheating at Pokemon Go (or forging fitness tracker step counts). Just the first one listed has 9.4 thousand reviews. WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE. 120
Chris H @chris-huggable.bsky.social · 28/12/2025But, if I deviate to 16th Ave, which is also partly designated for cycling (but just a crappy shared street with a painted bike), there's a four block gap that's not designated for cycling at all, but then my plan only requires 45 meters elevation, saving me 20 meters of climbing over the 2.5km. 100
Chris H @chris-huggable.bsky.social · 28/12/2025I'm trying to plan a 12km ride from my place in Metrotown to New West. There's a 2.5km stretch through Edmonds where, if I roughly follow the official designated "Southeast Bikeway" (SEB) route, my plan will have 64 meters in elevation gain... 120
Chris H @chris-huggable.bsky.social · 27/12/2025Just add it to the history books. It's a tiny bump on our rampage to destroy all of everything on this planet in the name of Capitalism. Nobody really gives a fuck about any of it. 010
Chris H @chris-huggable.bsky.social · 24/12/2025The parking lot at Still Creek Costco was utterly gridlocked. The line of cars extended all the way back onto the Hwy 1 ovepass bus lane. I parked instantly in the bike rack right next to the entrance, and fit everything I wanted on my e-bike! 🚲🥰 3517
Chris H @chris-huggable.bsky.social · 18/12/2025I dont know how I missed the news on this a few months ago, but holy fuck people, double check the Facebook/Meta app settings on your phone to make sure this shit is disabled! 🤦♂️🤬 010
Chris H @chris-huggable.bsky.social · 12/12/2025I asked @cityofvancouver.bsky.social to make cycling on the BC Parkway not suck so much... 140
Chris H @chris-huggable.bsky.social · 02/12/2025Then there's the whole treatment section, where it's pretty clear they intend to drop a psychopharmacologic bomb on these patients. I'm no doctor - but I am *very* skeptical that prescribing patients back to health is as straightforward and effective as this makes it sound? 110
Chris H @chris-huggable.bsky.social · 02/12/2025So, I just looked into what BC's requirements actually are to commit someone to "involuntary care" under the Mental Health Act - and I gotta say, it's so general and broad that it's kinda freaking me out a bit... 231
Chris H @chris-huggable.bsky.social · 30/11/2025There's ~6 million automobile accidents in the United States every year. If anyone wants to write an article "reckoning with the dangers" out there - the REAL ones, it'll start (and end) with that. 052
Chris H @chris-huggable.bsky.social · 26/11/2025YOU'RE EVEN REPLYING TO A POST WHERE I'M ASKING FOR NATIONAL HIGH SPEED RAIL FFS! aka: an alternative to flying You see this meme? This is *YOU* 👇 120
Chris H @chris-huggable.bsky.social · 25/11/2025Almost nobody realizes they're responding to an AI. Our FB community group was already bad, with an absentee admin, spam, etc - but this is the most dystopian shit I've ever seen. 010
Chris H @chris-huggable.bsky.social · 23/11/2025@mark-carney.bsky.social's "nation building" resource extraction projects basically make him the embodiment of @tbtoro.bsky.social's classic cartoon... 153
Chris H @chris-huggable.bsky.social · 14/11/2025What do you mean... they even gave cyclists a little merge lane when they dump them out onto the street.... AM I NOT MERCIFUL?!? 100
Chris H @chris-huggable.bsky.social · 14/11/2025So, I almost got killed on my ride last night... I was heading north on Boundary Road, after the bike lane just ends, and dumps you out into the right lane of the street. Luckily, that lane is mostly empty, as it's a turning lane back at Lougheed. It was after 8pm, so traffic was light... 6163
Chris H @chris-huggable.bsky.social · 31/10/2025Even better? Their "Contact Us" page doesn't even let you contact them. 100
Chris H @chris-huggable.bsky.social · 28/10/2025This bit from south Richmond makes me sad, with the red blip back up to Westminster Hwy and back. There's actually a railway line through there, and a road (see circled in second image), and I was kinda hoping they'd be able to negotiate something... 100
Chris H @chris-huggable.bsky.social · 28/10/2025Hey Metro Van cyclists, you seen this greenway network map, including future plans? 110
Chris H @chris-huggable.bsky.social · 28/10/2025Is that what I marked in blue here? I didn't realize there was another way!? 100
Chris H @chris-huggable.bsky.social · 28/10/2025There's a "Maquabeak Park Connector" path under the bridge, but the First Nations signage makes entry feel questionable. I'd love to see that clarified as well. 100
Chris H @chris-huggable.bsky.social · 26/10/2025Today's project: a heavy-duty shopping trolley/cart using three milk crates zip tied to a lightweight/foldable hand truck... 120
Chris H @chris-huggable.bsky.social · 18/10/2025Riding my e-bike to Costco was definitely the enjoyable choice! 090
Chris H @chris-huggable.bsky.social · 15/10/2025Fifth (last but not least): Riding west on Powell (before the multi-use bike path starts), cars were passing me, but some crazy car decides the car in front of him wasn't speeding enough, so pulled *right* to pass, and almost knocked me to the curb while doing so (it pulled BARELY in front of me). 120
Chris H @chris-huggable.bsky.social · 15/10/2025Fourth: north on Boundary (after bike lane just ends and dumps you into the road), I needed turn left (blue arrow), hand signaled, a nice car (middle lane) slowed, I merged left in front of it, but *2nd* car behind it didn't know why it slowed, pulled out left ACCELERATING RIGHT AT ME (red)! 120
