Post summary:I was walking on the sidewalk heading north on Memorial, and an older blue Hyundai hatchback (possibly a 2011 Elantra or Accent) pulled into the right lane behind me and immediately slowed down, splashing water on myself, my lunch, and my bag (which contains my laptop). They stopped at the Pearl Street light but got to Waverly before I lost sight of them. They either turned right onto Red River or went straight from where I could see. I hope someone saw this incident

Featured comments:
- I'm sorry this happened to you, but I'll be honest, you're wasting your time trying to track this person down. They most likely didn't mean to splash you; they might not have noticed until the last second and tried to avoid it, so they suddenly slowed down. Even if you manage to find out who it is, the police won't do anything, and you have no recourse unless they admit it was intentional, which is highly unlikely. (32)
EN: I'm sorry this happened to you, but I'm going to be honest with you that you're wasting your time trying to track this person down. They likely didn't even mean to splash you, they probably didn't realize until the last - Unfortunately, Socks might be right. It's possible it was intentional, but with them slowing down, it doesn't seem like it. If they were aware of their surroundings, they might have stopped to check if you were okay, but sadly, that didn't happen. I think if it were intentional, it would technically be a misdemeanor, but it's hard to prove. Sorry to hear this happened, and I hope your day gets better (12)

If they were aware of surroundings they might have pulled over to check you were all good bu - Accidentally splashing you when the roads are covered in mud and potholes isn't a crime. (9)

Post summary:I just have a possibly stupid question, but when I'm at home, I bake a lot of bread and cookies for fun, and I always get huge praise and compliments from friends and family, and I've given it away too. It keeps my hands and mind busy. I've considered ordering at the market, not as a full-time job, but as a hobby when people are interested. But I'm not quite sure how all the rules work! Like, can I post listings for homemade bread at the market for just $8-10

Post summary:Hello everyone! New here! I recently was in Thunder Bay with my partner and stopped at Agostino's for some sandwiches and meats. They were amazing. I'm coming back to town in the summer and would love to go back, but we might only have time to go there once more during our trip. I've tried doing research and learned about Lucy's, Cosimo's, and the "Spicy Italian" sandwiches, but I can't find any information anywhere about what's **on** each of them. Does anyone here know what's on them?

English original title:Quit breaking the roads, assholes.
Post content summary:A peaceful day in crappy Smarch weather was interrupted by this diesel-powered articulated bastard while I was hopping along the old rabbit trail, minding my own beeswax. We got four flakes of snow this afternoon, and they turned to liquid the moment they hit the ground. The guy plowed three times with his front plow, scraping the asphalt like a big pick. No doubt they're gleefully waiting for the edge to catch one of the many unrepaired cracks. There is absolutely no reason to have
