Really the end is what you would probably want to know, which is less about what you two were talking about and more so Twitter will at some point have to file for Bankruptcy.

I got shortlisted last week for a six figure public art project for a new construction here in Van. Basically two facades of the entire building with my art. Would be my first project at that scale and almost half the budget in my pocket. I’m one of four artists competing now

Not to stir up controversy, but... whatever became of Willie Mitchell? After the alleged rape incident at his resort, it's like he no longer exists. You search the internet, if you were none the wiser you'd think the most famous WM is a random black dude from Mississippi. His online presence was thoroughly scrubbed.
No mainstream, sports, social, independent or state media appears to be looking for him. Despite the incident taking place at a packed event and having many reports in the night of, no one has said anything since September. No charges were laid so far, so it's not like anyone is bound by court proceedings or police investigations. The resort is running, business as usual - except without Mitchell. Despite this apparently gaping hole at the helm, it has not warranted any sort of public comment from Hamhuis, who co-owns the resort.
Is this a "offer the alleged victim a backroom deal then hide until it blows over" kind of situation?

So this has almost 200,000 views on Twitter in 48 hours.
This is at the arena in Kitimat, where I live. I don’t know the fellow who knocked himself out here, but I recognize other folks in the video.(Watch to the end, you can’t make this up…what a bizarre occurrence)
Snowmageddon has officially arrived.
Stay safe everybody. Stay home is you can (I can't)
Surrey roads not salted or brined so you can predict the results

We hard it was going to snow this week. That is inexcusable.
And people not putting on their winter tires. You don’t need snow on the roads to have them on. When the temperature high is around 7 Celsius you should put them on.
Stupidity….
Yes, rent is expensive and most people now lack a garage to store 4 spare tires, but there are storage spaces you can rent to store your tires. What is the price of your safety? If you can’t afford it try to work from home.

uh I don't recall giving you permission to post of video of myself.
Problems with snow driving are 5% poor tires and 95% people just having absolutely no clue how to drive in the snow.
Also, if you live in Canada and don't own a 4WD/AWD car, you're kind of dumb.

People over estimate their skills in the snow. Have to account for where you live. No point in having a sedan if you live in PoCo Westwood Plateau area for example. If you don’t need to go out don’t. WFH. Plus we all had plenty of warning that snow was forecasted.
Inexcusable for the cities to not have plowed and salted the streets before the afternoon rush hour.
I'll just never understand people who live in Canada and buy a Honda Civic instead of a Subaru and are then shocked/scared/angry when they have the wrong car for the conditions multiple times literally every year.
People who gum up traffic by doing 25 in an 80 zone because they're absolutely terrified and have no idea what they're doing are worse than those who overestimate their skills.
The best thing anyone can do with teenagers learning to drive is go to a big parking lot at night when it snows and just practice sliding and doing burnouts and regaining control when you lose traction so they don't panic and lock the brakes when that inevitably happens in the real world.
Hahaha sorry!
But yeah ... my family always had a 4WD car growing up dating back to an '85 Tercel and I've had 6 months of my adult life (with a godawful VW Passat) where I didn't have a 4WD vehicle. Wouldn't even consider something that wasn't. And I don't really understand why others aren't the same, unless you basically don't drive at all in winter or have the option of not driving if conditions dictate.

I own two 4wd suvs… never gonna snow where I live… but if some a hole comes into my lane I want to have force on my side. They are hybrid to so I bet they have better fule economy then a civic.

I think severe service (mountain snow flake) winter tires are way more important than AWD/4WD, unless you happen to live in a hilly area (in which case you should have both).
I've driven through many blizzards on the Coq and Crowsnest with a RWD car but excellent winter tires - never had any issues.
This is sort of true, but also just a huge misconception that people have about drivers in Vancouver. I lived in Windsor for a year. I had a Lancer that had all season tires. It snowed a fair bit. I never had an issue nor got stuck. And that is mostly because it was totally flat.
Vancouver is much different than other parts of Canada because its very hilly. Driving in the snow on flat terrain isn't difficult. Driving in greater Vancouver, where it is hilly, is exponentially more difficult. Its the hills where people get stuck and struggle.

People can't drive worth shit during the dry, summer months.
snow? Might as well stay home or get a hotel room.

Yeah, we've since heard the whole backstory as to how it transpired. Apparently this clip got shown on Jimmy Kimmel last night.
