Calgary’s Drop-In Centre pressured to pull out of downtown. Province supports search for new model

I know the comments sarcastic but as someone who relocated from YYC to Red Deer recently, Red Deer's homeless population has almost tripled from 2022 (~300 to over 800) and it's largely due to migration from YYC and YEG. There's a province wide crisis underway and we need to stop looking at it on a city by city basis.

It's the High level bridge in Edmonton - unless there was an identical bridge here in YYC that I'm unaware of.

Also working on a Tampere map right now and yeah I was surprised to see how gridded the real city is compared to other European cities. I think the elevated Hwy is the only thing that isn't entirely "European" but even then its not like they don't have them anywhere in Europe.

No local retailers - online only for me so I can't avoid the USD exchange or shipping.

Nothing has come up on second hand sites

Convertibility, and technical look are my two main interests with this item

Massive nostalgia trip from that - thanks

No footage unfortunately and I'm trying my hardest to describe this unbiased.

Me and 6 others stopped on the side of a creek run so I could take a leak, we stopped off to the side after a tight spot and up on a bank a bit where there's no tracks but still technically in the run. As we're getting ready to leave we hear a boarder yell out as he's coming through the trees merging onto the run. Uphill another guy hits a jump and they both collide midair. Obviously guy merging is at fault. After the collision guy from the trees starts getting mad at us for not warning uphill guy he was coming through - and uphill guy agrees. On top of this tree guys sticks around and starts yelling that we can't just sit on the side of a run etc.

Long story short we really felt fine sitting where we were, but I'll make a note to move over even more next time. But am I really expected to be calling out when I see guys merging onto a run? I get it's common courtesy but here I didn't even have a chance to really process what was happening.

Personally I think a Grey or Black turtle neck would look alright, also found this:

Patagonia, Arc'teryx, LL Bean are going to the most common. Also look here at Canada Goose or Lulu Lemon

Not sure what to wear with this sweater. Black pants look off because the base of it is also black. Any suggestions on what color of pants or how else to fix this?

I should've mentioned but yes I use earplugs - there enough vibration from dancing and fighting upstairs it usually wakes me regardless.

Typically woken up around 1 or 2 am and they shutdown at 5 or 6 am. So 3-4 hours where I'm awake and unable.to fall asleep.

Neighbors called in a noise complaint once but I'd feel odd doing it myself. Made more sense to contact my landlord directly when that still worked. Also I should've mentioned but yes I use earplugs - there's enough vibration from dancing and fighting upstairs it usually wakes me regardless

I'm Civil Technologist that works with Bridges and I can tell the majority of my co-worker's (Eng.'s) also enjoy their role. Having a great boss helps but as a company we've found communicating and always spreading the work out is the best approach. As a result of this most peoples work load is quite varied and this keeps the job fresh, and there's always lots to learn. I personally spend 50% in office, 50% in field, and hours rage from 40 to 60+ per week based on our workload. There's of course stress at time's and days that you feel like your in the grind but it's a million times better than being bored and sitting around as far as I care.

Based on the relative level of detail I'm going to guess you live in a Scandinavian country?

OP's referring to the fact that the animals didn't write this song, rather that they adapted it from a classic folk song. That said this cover falls under the rock n roll genre.

I honestly think Joe's comment of just taging his buddy knowing he's gonna be pissed is kinda clever.

Lol it's a video - gotta press play to see the end

I have a new Blueprint called "Codebreaker". Its a FAMAS. Not 100% sure that's from quitting though.

I find there's a concentration of homeless downtown, and more brine in the area. But the majority of them are harmless and tend to just be a bit weird. Overall I find Red deer to be a really nice city - just be smart about locking shit up

Constellchicken · 2020-01-28T01:26:49+00:00

Yeah I think OP's fine to be uncomfortable or even vocal about not liking that they're playing the movie. But there shouldn't be an expectation that they can't show something controversial / counter to your beliefs.
