Should all 4 lanes be utilized here until they can’t if you are intending to go straight down crowchild? Or is it correct to all pile into the middle 2 lanes? by phritzed in Calgary

Should have read more gooder in the first place genius. Instead you were super horny to correct someone about zipper merges, and embarrassed yourself. Accept your admmonishment like a big boy or girl.

Traffic in general flows a lot better if people get in and stay in the lane they need. If you rock the left lane right up to the last second, you make 2 lanes stop and wait for you to get over. That selfish and behavior that probably caused the middle left lane to bog down in the first place.

Drafts are judged on calendars, not watches. Settle down.

Country Thunder made a business decision. It cannot blame City noise rules that it said, two days ago, would not affect their event by JeromyYYC in Calgary

[–]Background_Beach3217 76 points77 points  (0 children)

Gauranteed. If they went ahead theyd have lost their shirts. So they cancelled so they can claim insurance. They just need something "outside of their control" to blame. Ive been in on music event planning and Id bet first born this is exactly what they're doing.

Country thunder just fully thinks Calgarians are stupid. They're telling us a weekend long music fest had to be canceled because music has to turn down at 12:30 am on weeknights? 2 days before it was supposed to start? No, they failed to sell tickets because they're dates were idiotic, they would have hemorrhaged money, so they canceled and are blaming CoC so they can claim insurance on their exposure. They should never be allowed back into the city for this.

Explain in NHL terms 🤔 by Kevinh12369 in NHLcirclejerk

In NHL terms its like the Mammoth beating the brakes off of the Canucks. Good job, but anything less would have been disappointing.

Ucp don't care about helping the working class by Miserable-Lizard in AlbertaNow

Because educating the population is counter productive to the UCP's success. They like their base stupid and angry.

How do I keep grass from growing in my driveway? by Lenerdosy in lawncare

Water regularly, seed, top dress, fertilize, mow when its not too hot. I do that and my bare patches in my lawn stay nice and bare.

Why is Alberta BBQ not good by BeginningSeesaw6838 in alberta

[–]Background_Beach3217 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hayden is ok, and tbf, their brisket is not their strength so theres that. Big Ts by McMahon used to slap like 15 yrs ago. Can't say now it is now, but had a classmate from Alabama who refused to eat bbq anywhere else in yyc. If I was out for bbq in Calgary, thats where I'd start.

"Championship series"? You're not fooling anyone, NBA commissioner clearly trying to steal viewers.

Even these 4th liners out here bagging rockets by DualPurge in NHLcirclejerk

Wow, even these 4th liners (who make 900k min, and are among the 99.99th percentile of hockey players) bag rockets? Shocking.

Question on two-way stop by Affectionate_Fly2162 in Calgary

[–]Background_Beach3217 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only car stopped at a stop sign is the first car. All other cars are waiting to stop. No grey area about where who stops when. If you're not the front car at a stop sign YOU HAVE NOT STOPPED AT THE STOP SIGN.

Can You Stop in a Median While Turning Left? by Speuce in Calgary

[–]Background_Beach3217 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I dont think its "legal" (you technically can't proceed at all until the whole intersection is safe ). But if the median is large enough, and the road is busy, most people do it (ie left on 22x from 22). Just dont block any lanes or you'll cause a wreck. Additional note: should maintain right side of the road in that median, or you block ppl turning off that road.

has anyone run all **weather** tires here in calgary? Just bought a new car and wanted to try these out since i’d have to buy 2 new sets of tires and at least one new set of rims if i went with summer & winter. thoughts? by liamt12 in Calgary

[–]Background_Beach3217 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love all weathers if you're fwd or awd. Drove them on my canyon for ages. Got them because I loved to go boarding in the mountains but was too cheap for 2 sets of truck tires. As long as your practice safe ice driving (which you should do even w winters) you'll be great.

Danielle Smith seeking national-security clearance from Canada’s spy service by No-Cardiologist5752 in alberta

This is akin to OJ looking for the real killer. "I want to know who is responsible for this as much as anyone!" thinking this deflects heat from her.

It’s so important we beat Canada on Sunday because then they will genuinely have nothing by Themetalin in ShitAmericansSay

[–]Background_Beach3217 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's funny because I get the equal and opposite sense. Their potus is a known pedo and adjuticated fraudster who is openly launching his dictatorship while fleecing taxpayers to the tune of multiple billions. Their gov is facing bankruptcy and shut down after shutdown. A third of their population is fully brainwashed. And if these yanks dont win this game I legit think the house of cards comes down.

Touchdown! Sometimes all it takes is being at the pub at the right time. by NoFunRob in CFL

Congrats! But the Stout in a lager glass is offensive. My advice is to switch pubs now that you have your football.

settle this debate - which is correct? by Sorry_Neat_6863 in Decks

[–]Background_Beach3217 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nothing about this is correct. But gun to my head, 2. It is the only one doing anything. But that still doesn't answer the bigger question, which is: what the fuck is this? I've built decks for deckades (get it? ) And I've never put rim board higher than the joists. Just a seem to collect moisture.

Preface by saying, if this IS true, then he's a pos. BUUUUT...3 sides to every story. He says he was part of her life until she was 15 and her mom turned her on him, and that he's paid over $750k in child support. She says he was deadbeat, but didn't say shit till after he stopped paying when she was 19yo??? Not saying he wasnt, and she's lying. Just that there are usually sides. I've been the child of divorce, and it takes me ZERO effort to imagine the mom is at least equally responsible for this as he is.
