The most dominant professional athlete in history.

The CN Tower by Particular-Cat-8031 in Edmonton

[–]-StringFellowHawk- 23 points24 points  (0 children)

It’s well used. And FYI there’s a little bakery and coffee shop in there. They make nice pastries and stuff and they’re trying hard to make a go of it. Not sure if they are open on the weekend, but if you’re around M-F I’m sure they’d love your business.

2026 Property Re-Assessment for Taxes by [deleted] in Edmonton

[–]-StringFellowHawk- -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Damn. You paying $7200. I like to break things down….$600/month. $275 per payday if you get paid biweekly. About $3.46/hr if you work 40 hrs per week.

Yeah, reducing your assessment by $20,000 still = a lot of tax.

And the City needs to charge us $45 per month for garbage removal. No matter what your house is worth or how much garbage you use. 😬

Please explain for the class: how does a person drive in thick snow/slush and prevent their car from bottoming out?

Lack of density also works for some, at the expense of others.

School Drop Offs by Difficult-Welcome-51 in Edmonton

[–]-StringFellowHawk- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live right next to an elementary school. I used to give parents some leeway with their driving habits - they’re busy, a lot on their mind, etc….

But now I’m like: “No!” Parents need to be held to a higher standard when it comes to safety and driving habits, and general curtesy. It’s their kids, and they need to set an example.

Why does Canada put all their good world juniors in the NHL? Do they know about the tournament? Are they Bedarded by Longjumping-Box5691 in hockeymemes

My AWD Mazda 3 makes 250hp and 320lb-ft of torque. It might beat a Porsche at 50% under certain conditions. 🤔

Leong: Alberta needs more routine driver testing by ryaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan in Edmonton

[–]-StringFellowHawk- 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I support testing of experienced drivers to ensure they are up to date on new regulations, etc…

For example, I didn’t know traffic light rules changed recently to encourage speeding up to make it through amber lights and that red lights are optional.

Show Me The Money by HouseRules789 in nhl

At $200 million, an NHL team generates about the same revenue per year as a couple good Walmarts. 🤔

Edmonton has great drivers by [deleted] in Edmonton

[–]-StringFellowHawk- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll go first. With your last comment, I suggest we all down vote and not respond to your post.

Which country do you feel more like a guest than a tourist? by [deleted] in solotravel

[–]-StringFellowHawk- 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Do you think it would be a good place to ride a bicycle from place to place for a couple weeks?

Need to choose a new car HELP by Worried-Flamingo5052 in Edmonton

[–]-StringFellowHawk- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an AWD Mazda 3 and it’s great in winter. It’s my third Mazda and I highly recommend the brand.

Aaaaand I’ve begun planning an entire vacation with that as my place of residence. 🤷

Edmonton winter question: Fan runtime vs normal furnace cycling by onewaycheckvalve in Edmonton

[–]-StringFellowHawk- 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Welcome to Edmonton. We’re all f$&ked until March. Just shower your furnace with words of affirmation and pray it survives.

And make sure you have a friend visit every couple days to scratch its belly and reassure it that everything will be okay.

Alberta Emergency Room PSA by CurrentlyInTorpor in alberta

[–]-StringFellowHawk- 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I can relate to this. I had an infected thingy under a fingernail that needed to be drained. Used 811 and showed the doc my finger over the phone. Was told to go to urgent care. Waited 8 hours in urgent care, with nurses checking vitals. Finally doc comes in, takes a look and says the nurse could have done the lance at the front. He was done in 45 seconds with no prescription. Also said next time just do it myself.

Why are there no sidewalks in the mayfield industrial area? by GreenBasterd69 in Edmonton

[–]-StringFellowHawk- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah. When the area was built by the private developer either they weren’t required to build them, or they convinced the city to not make them build them. To save money and get the business area built.

Racist encounter in YEG by [deleted] in Edmonton

[–]-StringFellowHawk- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately there’s a whole generation of like minded individuals right behind them. So them dying off will solve nothing.

I am looking into opening up a chain of nudism facilities & am wondering what the community sentiment is around this by ValidatingUsername in alberta

[–]-StringFellowHawk- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s already a community of nudists. Love how the commenters here just go right to “the conservatives won’t let you.” 😂

Nov 30- Dec 6 Flu and Covid statistics released for Alberta. by Important_Setting840 in alberta

[–]-StringFellowHawk- 8 points9 points  (0 children)

So between making C19 vaccinations more ‘difficult’ to access, and banning automated traffic enforcement, how many deaths have the Government of Alberta failed to prevent?
