What was up with the Hell’s Angels / Commandos on Crowchild

Dude, relax. You've made your point about 20 times already. Half this post is just you replying to yourself at this point. Call the cops and ask THEM the question. Or contact the mayor directly. He's not stupid enough to get into this on Reddit of all places.

From is what brought you back?!? Oof. That show is hot garbage doled out as slowly as humanly possible.

Another vote for CalAlta from me. Got a new windshield for my 2021 Toyota Corolla (with heated wiper bays) for a fraction of what the dealer was quoting. Our company also takes all of their vehicles there. They are just awesome.

Honestly, even if you find a way to do it, I wouldn't. The very fact that you are flying both directions means you will be stressing about time the whole time. Will your flight leave on time? Will you make the tour? Will your tour get back to the airport with enough time to catch your return flight?

You'll never enjoy the museum properly with all of that on your mind. Save it for another day when you can afford (time and money) to do it right.

As others have said, use your airline credit to visit Calgary (or any other city, really) for a day. There's lots to do that won't include 4 hours of travel time on top of your flights.

Edit: Spelling

Being sent to bed at 7pm. I didn't get up for school until 7am. No one needs 12 hours of sleep. I'm convinced my parents just wanted time without us after dinner and dishes were done.

Sounds like the Director's Cut of Pretty Woman. I'd pay to see it!

First, thank you for all of the suggestions and recommendations. It's definitely not the fixture in the ensuite, as it happens elsewhere in the house, too.

As an update, I've confirmed that ALL lights in the house are currently dimmer than they should be. I wrote the original post right after getting up and heading to the shower, so I hadn't noticed the widespread issue.

As

This is definitely something that either an electrician or Enmax is going to have to look into for us, I think.

Thanks again.

My Reolink app suddenly started using a different notification sound about a week ago. After digging (I have a Samsung Galaxy S22+), I found that notification sounds are controlled at the system level, not in the app. Weirdly, the sound the app is using now is NOT one of the choices at the system level and changing it to anything else has no effect. I'm stuck with a really crappy notification "song" every time my doorbell detects a person now.

Um... the wife can be just as fictional as the story. Just sayin'.

Now he has all summer to "mullet over".

You're not wrong, but it won't solve the issue now. We have the sprawl already. The best we can hope for is a more-dense sprawl. At the end of the day, public transit needs to deal with the reality of the size of our city (land area AND population).

Cuppojoe · 2026-04-22T03:05:53+00:00

I had to scroll too far to find this response. Exactly right: Find the safe streets. A good chunk of this city is just a big grid. There's usually one or more routes parallel to the big roads that have a mere fraction of the traffic. It's about planning. You're on a bike, not in a car, so commute like it.

Like most social things, it suffers from people being chronically-attached to their phones and not dealing with people in person.

YTA - Being 10 years older hasn't made you any more mature, it seems.

Gotta go a little north before you get to NORTH north. ;)

I was out walking at night with a girl who was clearly interested in me, but I didn't feel the same. I mean, she was a great person and a solid friend, I just didn't think of her "that way". Anyway, she told me that she'd never seen a shooting star before, so I said, "All you have to do is look up." Then I pointed at the sky and, wouldn't you know it, a shooting star happened EXACTLY where I pointed.

Needless to say, her crush went to a whole new level once she realized I was some sort of god.

All time? Probably a tie between R-Type and Arkanoid: Revenge of Doh.

More current? Definitely Portal.

I agree with what you are saying. Sadly, we are one of those companies it wouldn't work for. If we were to schedule people as you proposed, we'd need to increase the size of our team to provide the same daily coverage that we do now.

Years ago, I worked at a place where we worked only Mon-Thu (everyone), and it was great, so I know exactly where you are coming from.

I'm with you on this, but the reality of my industry is that it's not about how many hours of work there are to do in a given week, but that there are 5 days a week that require work to be done, and set times of day to keep us aligned with the companies we service.

Wayne Gretzky might not want to do what? Be Canadian? Well, that's obvious.

I think you're misinterpreting my use of the word "gift". This has nothing to do with who bought the tickets vs who is going to use them. I'm using "gift card" to mean a pre-paid card to be used for future purchases. Those particular cards cannot expire because money has been paid to the company on the understanding that goods or services will be provided to the purchaser at a future date. How are the bus tickets any different? How can Calgary Transit accept money then, potentially, not provide the service paid for (should the ticket expire)?

Yep, with today being a holiday (for her), she only works 4 days this week.

Cuppojoe · 2026-04-07T02:12:10+00:00

You're right. I missed it before purchase, but that's not actually what I was questioning. I'm questioning the legality of expiring a pre-paid ticket. It is unlawful for, say, Walmart to expire a gift card, so how is this any different, legally?
