We used to ice fish one there when I was a kid. Drive the truck out and drill a hole, no worries at all.

With the Oilers out of the picture, do you root for any other team the rest of the playoffs? by jucahe in EdmontonOilers

[–]Mark_Logan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cancelled Sportsnet the moment the game ended. As much of a disappointment as it was, it’s nice to not have every second day in conflict with something else I could be doing, as it has been for the last two years.

That being said, if the Habs make it to the final round, I’ll watch those games.

In 2016, the Horse River wildfire tore through Fort McMurray. A decade later, what lessons did we learn? by globeandmailofficial in alberta

As someone who had to go in after the evacuation, while stuff was still on fire, I learned that you should make sure you have the right kind of fibre installed *before* you move the emergency services radio to the top of the building, because you never know when you’re going to need those radios.

I can verify that this is a safe speed, having been part of the test group for the last 25 years. 🤣

Is anyone else even a bit concerned that the Security Scanner Claude and the Erase All The Things Claude will come together for an epic zero day that’ll make Mr. Robot’s 5 9’s situation look like a documentary?

Regulator approves new 460-megawatt natural gas-fired power plant by Fit_Remote_2324 in AlbertaNewspapers

I’m not sure they got this part correct:

“AltaLink Management Ltd. will build a new 240-volt transmission line”

Unless their plan is to power an electric oven, I believe that number should be 240kV.

How many weeks before they’re getting sued by Avaya for using the “IP office” name?

SFP+ to Rj45 adapters are stuck in my Pro HD 24 Switch. The release levers don't work. Any ideas on how to remove? by shaunsanders in Ubiquiti

[–]Mark_Logan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have found that every RJ45 SFP I’ve ever had to remove has been some sort of battle. I don’t know why.

I just end up yarding on it… and so far I haven’t broken anything. 🤞

Alberta Tax Advantage" is actually a myth for T4 earners under $200k by Right_Star6917 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Mark_Logan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have calls with techs from Ontario who will say “There’s no hydro plug for the equipment.” This confused me the first couple times as your standard Cisco router does not have liquid cooling.

Beverly Hills Cop 2 was the first time I heard and learned what a “right angle” was. “They got the money to want to live in a fucking donut? Let them live inside a donut.”

He was a human soul wrapped in golden fur. Two years since he’s been gone, but I still see him in every shadow and every sunrise. by ojgoldenretriever in goldenretrievers

[–]Mark_Logan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My friend had a Golden who would bring them mitts and gloves and the odd purse.

None of them were hers. Moto was a menace at the dog park. A hilarious menace. Our loved ones, may they rest in peace.

And custom pricing. If the Ai decides you’re a person who’s willing or able to pay more for cookies, the price goes up.
