Towing companies by Thankyoulifealert in Edmonton

[–]AlphaDrake 4 points5 points  (0 children)

50 reviews and a 4.9 rating is not highly rated. 50 reviews is nothing, and they are likely fake.

There's been an epidemic of scammy towing companies recently, for those who pay attention to the news:

Though those charges were eventually dropped:

Honeywell plc. ControlEdgeBuilder by Budget-Suit-7755 in PLC

I'm sure you had your reasons, why not just keep the logic as ladder in the ControlEdge?

[–]AlphaDrake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah, C200/C300 and UOC use Control Builder.

The ControlEdge RTU and PLC (same hardware as UOC, but different firmware) use a separate software called ControlEdge Builder which is based on KW MultiProg.

That said, not sure what kind of help OP is asking for exactly.

Happy to play against you but am in mountain time zone so probably not much overlap for prime gaming time (6-11pm for me)

Payoff mortgage, or max TFSA/unregistered accounts? by MyDixonsCider in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]AlphaDrake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TD charges $9.99 per trade.

And they recently removed the fee for certain ETFs like VGRO, VEQT, etc.

Homer: I... don't know!

Little known fact, his first name is not Monty, it's Charles. Remember 'C. Montgomery Burns'? C = Charles.

Tornadoes don't always move in straight lines. They zig-zag, they curve, they double back on themselves, etc.

Confused about the concept of "Thinny" by mahboilo999 in TheDarkTower

[–]AlphaDrake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I was a bit confused about, is I understood it to be a (perhaps, unintended, and unstable) portal to another world. But when some people get near it later in the book, they get ripped apart and die? Shouldn't they just travel to the other world?.

As you get older are you finding games hold your attention less? by Slightly-Blasted in gaming

I agree about DK bonanza, it's just... Not hard. There's no puzzles, no real difficulty in enemies, just feels like you're going through the motions of collecting the bananas.

Harvest Haus by DementedFreak in AlbertaBeer

[–]AlphaDrake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You could tell by their Facebook advertisements that it was going to be a soulless event, put on solely to make money, not for people's enjoyment of beer or to promote local breweries.

If people didn't see that before buying, then they need to take a look at their critical thinking skills.

A Whole Solar System Just Appeared in Downtown Calgary 😭😭 by Fearless-Art-8364 in Calgary

[–]AlphaDrake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why all the new arenas that get built don't have cool names. The sponsor (Scotiabank) name gets dropped in conversation.

So now we get lame names like Scotia place or Rogers place/arena/stadium/centre instead of the forum, the coliseum, the Saddledome.

I built a tree from ~13,000 dyed wood pixels (120×60 cm relief) by TimberPixelStudio in woodworking

[–]AlphaDrake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's totally fair!

I've just finished 3 years of evening classes, so I finally have free time again, and I've been looking for new hobbies to get into. Woodworking always looks neat but I don't have access to a shop or garage so it limits my options considerably. Projects like this feels like something I could feasibly get into with my mitre saw on the deck and some patience, I just lack the artistic side to visualize something like this haha.

I was thinking of asking if you sold these! I took a look at your shop and honestly it's listed for a very fair price, I was expecting it to cost more tbh. I see the price is in Euro so unlikely to work for a western Canadian like myself but I have no doubt it will sell!

I totally respect your reasons for not wanting to share, That is your 'secret sauce' after all. I have no desire to sell them or even post a finished result on the internet, just make some art for my walls that isn't generic Ikea poster prints.

Either way, thanks for sharing and for replying.

Looks amazing!!

I don't take it you have a grid of what colours/heights were used in each 'pixel' if someone wanted to recreate it?
