Photo of an estimate from a local mechanic? And same with you - take all the physio you need and bill the hell out of them. Hope the knee's settled down now but an expert opinion might spot something long-term that can be corrected now.

Sorry to hear :( Feels like we're all one momentary lapse of concentration (usually someone else's) away from a life-changing coming-together. I've lost track of the situation with the shifting sands of ICBC and what they will/won't do these days, but can you claim against them for a) any out-of-pocket medical expenses (eg physio) and b) damage to bike/helmet?

Ahhh right, sorry - must read more carefully - I see you've already said ICBC will cover the helmet. If you get the bike in for a mechanic to look over & give you an estimate then presumably they'll cover that as well?

I've never understood why there's a fuss about default wallpaper. It ships with a dozen options and you can obviously install your own. I guess it's the opportunity for a news story and a sign that things have reached a certain level of development and are getting close to release.

Personally, I saw the item on installing your own dynamic wallpaper at https://www.omglinux.com/dynamic-wallpapers-for-gnome-desktop/, followed the instructions on github and set up a lovely time-of-day based wallpaper based on the game Firewatch (https://github.com/manishprivet/dynamic-gnome-wallpapers#code-firewatch) - I love all the sunrise/sunset options there but if you've played Firewatch then this one might speak to you :)

You can't expect parents to let their kids WALK to school can you? It's not safe - there's so many cars around! 🙄
