OT: Things we find freaking neat but no place to post

Gas prices on Vancouver Island last week:

Victoria: 139.9 per litre
Duncan: 124.9 per litre
Ladysmith: 135.9 per litre

Go Duncan!

Vancouver: 149.9 per litre

Was there another station nearby that they may have been in a price war with?

Yes, right across the street, and the prices are exactly the same every time.

They will trickle down a few cents at a time for about a week, and then BAM one day they all go up exactly 30 cents.

150 bucks a litre? What is that in American money? 2 dollars?

Man I remember when this thread was freaking neat, now it's freaking depressing.

Mila Kunis needs to stick to wearing make-up.

Not sure where that other Sportsnet graphic screenshot was posted earlier but thought it was in here...

Anyway, here's another one:

very interesting. GeoGuessr - Let's explore the world!

I was very not good on my first attempt - 4,860 points.
much improved on the 2nd - 10,208

 

[Darkstone42]

6349 on the first attempt, 10,873 on the second. Noticing signs and picking out the language made things easier.

I was doing well until the last one...I almost guessed correctly (Japan) based on the cars but then went with Dominican Republic because it just looked too desolate/decrepit for Japan. 6842

Jebus... that test gave me 3 spots in Australia. All back country roads with no signs and not a single other car on the road.

So, I am at the front of the 7-8 deep line in a left lane of a left turn. As they are prone to do around here it is a double turn lane that cuts back to one lane (right lane ends) just after the turn.

As just as always, someone goes past those of us who can read in the left lane and pulls next to me in the right. He has one of those new Mustangs. It's always a Mustang. He launched at the green and got out ahead of me. But once my Turbo spun up, I was GONE. Blew past him before he had a chance to merge and take the one lane and he had a look of shock and how fast I got to 60 and beyond (around 4 seconds). I do so love AWD and traction control. Plus paddle shifters. Paddle shifters are fast.

I would have loved to see his face when the Merc C300 that was behind me overtook him too.

B-B-B-BUT 'MERICAN MUSCLE!
