Reduced risk tolerance and cortical excitability following COVID‐19 infection

What does this mean for driving a car after #covid?

@bunda91.bsky.social listening to this morning’s comments on the Air Canada strike. Did you know that flight attendants actually have a very rich history of fighting for labour rights? The history of women’s rights and civil rights intersects with the airline industry.

The bike is not a perfect replacement for the car, as it lacks the required range. Likewise, the train lacks the door-to-door convenience. But combine these two modes into a single system, and a seamless mobility option is unlocked—capable of reducing congestion by replacing thousands of car trips.🧵

In Ottawa (2022):
- 80% of trips were under 10.3 kilometres
- 26% of automobile *driver* trips and 32% of automobile *passenger* trips (almost 460,000 daily trips!) were less than 2.1 kilometres

These are great distances for cycling.

New app highlights safe and fast Ottawa bike routes An advocacy group has created a new app that focuses on safe and fast biking routes in Ottawa.

New app highlights safe and fast Ottawa bike routes

I’m wishing too! I have a friend coming for Labour Day weekend and we’re on the edge of a fire ban at my cottage property. I don’t have electricity yet so count on cooking over the fire. Also, I’m getting tired of hauling water to the gardens but they need it so much!

My Dad used to say he didn’t want one on his street in Barrhaven, even though he complained about the speeding cars on this wide streets had to walk on the road to get to the mailbox, and the grandkids had to cross the street twice to get to a park a block away. Madness!

LOL!

I have seen of a few of those pleas pop up in comments on various discussion as it’s so obvious they are scammers.

I am so sorry.

I would love to get rid of left turns into oncoming traffic (and pedestrians) and right turns into pedestrians with a walk signal while we’re at it. Germany had a system 40 years ago that made it impossible to interact with another road user unless you were breaking the law. It felt very safe.

Maybe they would have more time for actual construction if they didn’t spend so much time putting up useless barriers. But they save time by not taking it down and not making or signing alternate routes, so there’s that.

This is a pretty useless piece of cycling infrastructure in Vanier, but the construction signs that have been there for over a week (there is no construction anywhere within several blocks) just adds insult to injury. #ottbike

I love that place. Really need to go for another visit. I’m not a cathedral person but I think my little parish church has a Canadian flag. Mind you, it has strong connections with the GG and the GG’s Foot Guards so it may be because of that.

Where would that be? He seems to be pretty weak everywhere. Someone said he made Mayor Larry O’Brien look smart. That’s pretty bad!

Wonderful news! Have an excellent and restful weekend, both of you.

Thanks for the intro. We are now following each other.

This man keeps racing Toronto streetcars and winning  | CBC Radio Mac Bauer says his victories are emblematic of the fact that the Toronto Transit Commission isn’t keeping apace with growth in the city.

Not just Toronto. It is easy to walk than a bus down Bank St in Ottawa, or cycle faster to Barrhaven from the east end (I have done both, and I’m old and slow). www.cbc.ca/radio/asitha...

I would also like to know. I have been told there is a way behind Palmerston and through the shopping centre near the transitway, but I haven’t figured it out. And that still leaves several dodgy blocks. From the west, I use Aviation Parkway from Mtl Rd or Donald to Cunningham, and pray.

I would try that.

Swimmer Dreams I think about lots of things when I’m swimming. I think especially about comments on or by great swimmers and how I can incorporate that into my own swims. Me in the centre, sharing a moment with s…

I would rather not think about it. But not for the same reasons as car drivers don’t want to think about it.

Yes they were, with very promising results. Interestingly, the COVID vaccine came out of mRNA cancer research, which is why they were able to develop it so quickly.

Yay - more microplastics in the environment.

I support this! Among my friends ice cream has become the standard post-vaccine activity. It started with COVID, but now we use it for all shots. Anyone posting a picture while eating immediately gets asked what shot/booster they got.

Very glad to hear she seems to be on the mend. Give her a gentle hug from me, if she’s up for one.

Agreed!

What your analysis seems to miss is the importance of post-secondary education for the skilled trades. There are great jobs in the trades and we have a huge and growing shortage of people to do them, partly because they are perceived as less valuable than a university education.
