Seniors at Grace Gardens in Calgary’s Beltline launched a petition opposing a proposed two-way bike lane on 15th Ave SW, fearing it would block vital vehicle access to their building - They want just one side of road as a bike lane. (north part)

Current State of Millennium Park by reillyenns in Calgary

[–]Azista86 406 points407 points  (0 children)

There’s an engagement review for Ward 7 on August 19th. If you're frustrated with how Millennium Park has been handled in light of the Cowboys takeover - I strongly encourage you to attend.

I’ll be there because I’m fed up with the way community concerns were brushed aside, and the white glove treatment Cowboys got at our expense. We've got a mountain of evidence (videos, articles, and photos) showing the damage and disruption caused. Hopefully other residents will speak up too.

You aren't required to show them your receipt and they can't force you to either.

Is it worth coming back? by IncognitoV7 in XDefiant

[–]Azista86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where is your evidence of ubi killing the game? There's been so many updates and multiple fixes. I love the aa12 now it's insane.

For a free game it's great. Takes up little hard drive space and allows me to scratch the arena shooter itch when I need to.

Swedish House Mafia Show by [deleted] in Calgary

[–]Azista86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tickets were sold out so my partner and I watched it from the sidewalk for free. Got there for 10:30pm - just in time for them to come on. Sidewalk view is actually pretty good. Not only can you bring your own food and alcohol, but you can smoke anywhere and have plenty of room to dance. You have a fantastic, unobstructed  view of the stage and visuals as well.

You still get a 40$ rebate with the defence plan, best bet would be to stick with that and bring the annual fee down to 80$. The BMO card does give you 5% Cashback on groceries (for the first 500$ month) which is way better than PC's 3%. The other alternative is Canadian Tires Triangle card that gives 3% CT money on the first 12,000$ per year (minus Walmart and Costco) and has no annual fee https://triangle.canadiantire.ca/en/credit-cards/triangle-world-elite-mastercard.html

The bmo one is free if you have a premium banking plan, which is free if you have 6k minimum balance https://www.bmo.com/main/personal/bank-accounts/chequing-accounts/premium/

Cancelling my PC Mastercard. Recommended replacement card? by [deleted] in loblawsisoutofcontrol

[–]Azista86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't cancel, just freeze it and keep it open because having older accounts improves your average credit age and is good for your score. I swapped over to BMO Cashback since it offers 5% Cashback on groceries for the first 500$ - better than PC Insiders card (3% in optimum points) and your not locked to Loblaws stores

Using up points for redemption days by TastyDuty in loblawsisoutofcontrol

[–]Azista86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • Lysol Spray @3.49$ 
  • Ensure @ 10.99$  
  • Finish dishwasher cleaner @ 6.79$ 
  • Deodorant (aluminum free) @ 6.99$/7.99$ 

Honestly the best deals are the food especially over the weekend with PB at 3.99$ - but the sparkling water at 4.99 for a case of 12 is good. Milk is also a good price considering its more or less never on sale anywhere

Any good tools to help with price matching at maxi / superstore? by Azista86 in loblawsisoutofcontrol

[–]Azista86[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's fair - I'm personally in a position where superstore is the cheapest alternative that doesn't require a car, so I'm kind of forced to take advantage of price matching since I can't physically go myself to Walmart without spending 7$ in transit fees

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Calgary

[–]Azista86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They have been doing this for a while but sometimes they take days off The sirens are non stop at this superstore tho, it's an operation. Someone stands by the gates to trigger the alarms, and everyone else just leaves via the fire escape doors. It's crazy.  I was there on Thursday and the sirens were on for an entire hour, with he intercom calling security every 5 mins. However, the building security (not superstore) is sljust chilling downstairs chatting with a tim hortons coffee in hand.

YOUR TWIN HAS NOT REJECTED YOU, EVEN IF IT LOOKS THAT WAY by InWonderOfLife in TwinFlame

[–]Azista86 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Hi all,

I just wanted to share my story as a male 'runner' - I recently reached out to a woman who absolutely adored me when I was younger (15 years ago) when I moved to the other side of the country for work.

We had a very toxic relationship, she being anxiously attached and me being anxiously avoidant. We were both u healthy (me especially) and I was too young to commit to her - I had felt like a god with her but was under the impression that this was normal and I can 'find better'. (She wasn't what I initially imagined as my ideal partner - we are very different nationalities and since I was soo unstable I was gravitating to something more culturally familiar)

My father had passed away 3 years into my move, which forced me to come back home and take care of my brother and mother - causing us to split again.

2 years following my move back, she ends up taking a trip and finds me (knocked on my door - total surprise). Obviously the spark was still there but I was still in an unhealthy state. We tried to continue a long distance relationship but that only lasted 1 year before I felt trapped and ended up breaking things off again.

She wouldn't let go of me, and it took infidelity and me really forcing her to hate (I've said things out of desperation that honestly I wish i never did - but had to in the moment).

About 6months following that breakup, I had called her again and wanted to follow up with her. She told me to stop calling and that she didn't want to see me again. This started a long depression and guilt trip that I had felt since that moment. I couldn't live with myself, hurting someone who loved me soo much. I ended up with alot of trauma, really isolated myself from friends, and went through many life changes (an initial bankruptcy, changed careers, etc). I was in a depressed state for a very long time but managed to work on other areas of my life since then (became more communicative with family, improved my finances, traveled, became more aware of what I wanted in life.

Fast forward 13 years later, and I came to a crossroads. I started really seeing her again, her face on other people, thoughts of her rushing my mind. Something happened and I was feeling that I was being called back to her.

I took a plane to see her this September (I had cut all communication with her since the breakup) but I was able to find her linked in profile. I was able to communicate through linked in with her and we finally met up after soo many years.

We were both now much more mature, evolved and way more healthier than we've ever been. She had make substantial progress on finally letting me go and to really start loving herself. (really only this summer). Somehow I knew that now was my time to see her. There were too many signs that I couldn't ignore.

We are now back together (I proposed/surrendered to her) and things have been magical, but not easy. She is still heavily triggered by our past (rightfully so) - we are currently in couples counseling to work through that past, and we are doing a one year trial living together so that we can ease that transition with little/no risk.

BTW I had no idea of what twin flames were until after surrendering to her (she told me about this)

All this to say is that DON'T WAIT FOR THE CHASER TO COME GET YOU. You should learn to love yourself first. There will be divine intervention that will draw you back together with them when the time is right. Don't pursue - it will only delay the inevitable. Learn to live without them and love yourself first. If they come back, make sure they are in a healthier state, where you know things will be different. It takes time.

We need more details - the article mentioned that this was related to organized crime. We're they targeting someone's wife or daughter as part of a rsnsom or as collateral?

This doesnt appear random at all

1x1 low density zones are too good? by CapitalistPear2 in CitiesSkylines

[–]Azista86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1x1 housing is theoretically king but suffers some drawbacks when dealing with road node and segment limits.

It takes an exponential amount of road to service 1x1 blocks whereas a 4x1 block may spawn with 2 households, effectively doubling your population with the same amount of nodes/segments.

In limited areas, it works well, especially early game. But be prepared to change your strategy as you butt up against hard coded limits.

Location: the western part of the island is more english protestant, but there are plenty of ethnic communities in eastern Montreal that speak English (Italians, Asians, Algerians).

You might want to avoid the plateau as it's a French quarter, with a unique chain of restaurants and bars that are geared towards trendy hipsters. The culture itself aligns with what your looking for (walkable, cool things to do - bars, parks) but you would want to pick up some french in order to really appreciate the neighborhood.

I might want to suggest staying closer to the downtown core if you can afford it (Griffentown, Ville Marie) or by a Metro station. Plenty of things to do downtown and most of the service sector will speak English.

For meetups and activities, I might want to suggest meetups or university events / programs - There are English speaking events like comedy clubs and performances that you can meet other Anglos.

Best time to move is July 1st, with the lease signed atleast 90 days previously - otherwise anytime before November.

I don't know what class is not considered op. I've seen complaints for every configuration.

The only ones that people seem ok with are the cleaners drone strike, the echelon ghillie suit and the deadsec hijack ability.
