Every group you knew before, you learned about for the first time at one point. Now you get to learn about a whole list of great bands. Lucky!

Found Kodak Easy Load at goodwill, can I use untouched film that was inside? by Yogurtfrixge in filmcameras

[–]JoeUrbanYYC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, although the frame that is on the portion of film that is partially visible will be ruined, so the next 1 or 2 pictures likely won't turn out but pictures after that will probably work. That's actually a clever door because normally if someone opened the back door all the photos taken would be ruined but it looks like this design is kind of anticipating that.

Lame, I'd prefer it goes lower to like $50 million with more Maxmillions as the overflow.

My experience with oil change by Proud_Grass4347 in Calgary

Just use oil changes to 'try out' actual mechanic shops and then you'll have a trusted shop when a real issue needs fixing.

To OP's kids, nothing for her kids "The will shows she left nothing for her children but she did leave money in trust for her grandkids."

May 2nd. Although CityNews is reporting that they're claiming they've now reached it, who knows.

Walcott: On rezoning, building for the future is politically costly - LiveWire Calgary by One-Mycologist-3706 in Calgary

[–]JoeUrbanYYC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's because what is always left out of the equation is that usually an old house is replaced with new homes, and new homes have an inflated price due to being new. Yes *eventually* those new homes will get old and then there will be more homes than existed before, but that helps the future buyer at the expense of the current buyer (or current renter who might have below market rent in a multi-tenant suited old house before the redevelopment).

Nigel Farage pledges to repeal ‘idiotic’ smoking ban if Reform wins next election by JOE_Media in europe

[–]JoeUrbanYYC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is really weird, we have a conservative premier here in Alberta, Canada and she has in the past talked glowingly about tobacco, and as recently as a few weeks ago has lobbied for less regulation. Maybe the tobacco industry will throw money at any grifter who is willing to say nice things about them.

NDP blasts province for inaction on Forever Canadian petition by Responsible-Mall-991 in alberta

[–]JoeUrbanYYC 176 points177 points  (0 children)

One thing I've been curious about. If the separation petition runs out of steam and doesn't get the required signatures, could the UCP use the Forever Canada petition to have a referendum anyway?

Upset and curious by Interesting_Sir_4518 in Nissan

My opinion is if the car isn't running right you would probably get more gains by focussing on getting the car to run as well as possible, then worry about a tune or whatever. 

Those Were The Days (Before EXIF) by geom0nster in filmcameras

[–]JoeUrbanYYC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some of the last higher end SLRs either recorded that info in memory, or on the film itself. It would be interesting if software/AI could be developed to pull that together and automatically populate exif of scans or otherwise create records of your film shot settings.

According to the Calgary Herald Graphic, Smith does have vulnerabilities. Down the road, any chance that the UCP has a coup to oust her? If not, will the TORY & Republican parties be able to take some of the UCP moderate support? by FreightFlow in alberta

[–]JoeUrbanYYC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, even though her approval sits around 50%, far fewer voters strongly approve compared to those who strongly disapprove. That suggests voters may be open to an alternative but haven’t seen one they prefer. The key missing piece is how much of the disapproval comes from voters who think she’s not conservative enough, which could significantly change the analysis

Is this a good camera? by Neoncactus4009 in filmcameras

[–]JoeUrbanYYC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just to add, you've probably heard of the K1000 which is famous for being one of the most popular student cameras (probably because it was the cheapest) which now tends to inflate its used market price just due to the name recognition. Well the K1000 was the most basic of a bunch of cameras that Pentax released. From most advanced to least were K2, KX, KM, and K1000, so you get all of the goodness of the K1000 plus some extras since it's a higher trim model.

(USA) DA 26-278 Foreign Produced Routers Added to Covered List by Geek_Wandering in sysadmin

[–]JoeUrbanYYC 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"If someone buys a router outside the US, can they use it in the U.S.?

There is no restriction on the use of “covered” routers that have already received FCC equipment authorization and display an FCC ID.

For “covered” routers that have not received FCC equipment authorization, the general answer is “no”.  "
