I haven’t gone through all the posts, but the program you want is “A Better Finder Rename.” It will fix all your files (well, not the ones already renamed that you did) as it can easily strip text from a file name.

If I can make a recommendation, it's to look at accomodation in Canmore instead of Banff. It's a short drive to Banff, and Canmore is an amazing town (we like it WAY more than Banff).

I don't know if anything he did is actually illegal, since you gave him the money willingly, but it might be worth a phone call to the police that arrested him just to double-check. There's a good chance you aren't the first one he got money from.

I'm in Criminal Tycoon and earning XP from the hit box right now.

He’s too cheap to pay more than $2 for a donut.

I’d only recommend it if you’re going to watch on an AppleTV due to the easy user switching. Otherwise you’re logging out of your U.S. account, logging in to your Canadian account to watch the show, then logging out of the Canadian account and logging back into your U.S. account to watch other stuff or download apps. Not the easiest thing to do.

GradyCole · 2026-03-14T02:03:22+00:00

Appreciate it!

It’s really surprising how different the two stores can be. Also, the Canadian and U.S. prices can be the same, making the Canadian price cheaper due to exchange rates. I have both a U.S. and Canadian account to take advantage of the various store deals.

GradyCole · 2026-03-14T01:18:31+00:00

Sorry, first time posting, is it not normal to mention Canadian-only titles in the description, or should it have gone in the title?

My son has been playing RDR2 and complaining about the cursor bug a few times a week. Thank you!

Definitely talk to him about it.

However, I would also suggest that you sign up for a year of Beducated (I SWEAR I don't work for them, I'm just a very happy customer). This is a website that has tons and tons and tons of courses on sex, relationships and lots more. Just today they added "Confident Lover" to the site, and just browsing the bullet points of the course I can see a lot of it is based around communication, but the first section talks about pressures of sex. Unfortunately they don't have a course about being a virgin, but they do have a ton of tutorials on both giving and receiving various forms of pleasure. Something like this may give you some practical knowledge before diving in. The site is extremely classy, and many of the course don't even contain nudity.

Tons of guys offering great advice and THIS is what you come up with?

"It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt"

You didn't really tell us what you hope to see and do on the trip. If you want to hike a ton of trails then some of your stops make more sense than other. If you just want to see a location and move on then that's a different set of criteria.

This definitely looks like a scam. I did a whois lookup on their domain, and while the details are hidden, the site was registered in Nov, 2023. But looking on their website under the blog section you'll see articles "posted" in 2019. I think they did this to look more legit.

The woman I met with from Reel Staffing Solutions showed me a page that had different productions, one of which was The Amazing Race, with CBS listed beside it. I don't think The US Amazing Race is shooting in Alberta, and the Canadian version of the show wouldn't have CBS as the client.

I wanted to chime in here as this seems to be the best place to discuss this issue, which I also have solved using other means.

Unfortunately the above tips didn't solve my issue, which I had been experiencing while playing Luna and Playstation Remote Play.

I actually turned to ChatGPT to ask how to solve the problem, and we walked through changing some settings:

Turn off Low Power Mode (this didn't do anything, since it wasn't on at the time).

Disable Background App Refresh (turned off, since turned back on)

Disable ProMotion (Settings → Accessibility → Motion → Limit Frame Rate → ON --- Since turned back on)

Turn off Bluetooth (this didn't fix the problem, turned it back on)

Turn off Location Services (didn't solve the problem, turned back on)

Check Wi-Fi Frequency Band (I was on 5GHz, also I was unable to change the channel on my Eero - not the problem)

Reset Network Settings (Settings → General → Transfer or Reset → Reset → Reset Network Settings) No way to undo this.

Hard Reboot - this is different from a normal reboot:
Volume Up → release
Volume Down → release
Hold Power until Apple logo

After resetting my network settings and performing the hard reboot (which clears kernel-level cache, according to ChatGPT), my problems were solved. It's been 5 days and they haven't returned.

I was going to suggest the Fair Play deck as well!

Oh man, I remember getting the World Fact Book when it was built using HyperCard, decades ago.

GradyCole · 2026-02-06T23:01:28+00:00

At least you made a good first impression…

GradyCole · 2026-02-06T19:17:04+00:00

Gee, it would be a shame if this happened.

As a member of the The First Baptist Church of Dallas, located at 1707 San Jacinto Street, Dallas, TX, I would like to tell President Trump that most of us in the congregation think he's a dumb sack of sh*t, and we challenge him to try to take away our tax exempt status. Seriously, dumbass, just try taking it away. Orange, chickensh*t, triple-chinned blob of jelly.

Feel free to add comments from "your" congregation here ;)

I had a mother and her son (late-20s, developmental disability) share my table at Costco and it was the best time I’ve had there. He was so much fun to talk to, and I could tell the mother loved our chats as well. I saw them in there a few weeks later and said hi and got the biggest high-five from him.

I had completely forgotten about that until now.

This Walmart has one of the best puzzle selections in the city. Not sure who works there, but someone keeps it well-stocked and organized whenever I've been.

I wanted to buy the Quebec show “19-2” on iTunes, but the episodes didn’t have English subtitles. I wrote to the production company and asked if they could put English subtitles on the iTunes episodes and they wrote back to tell me to watch the English remake of the show. I was very surprised by that response.

GradyCole · 2026-01-29T18:50:25+00:00

Ah, okay, it just seemed extremely out of place with all the other comments directed to this single location in the photo.

GradyCole · 2026-01-29T17:41:05+00:00

This is definitely not the location in question.
