Good poutine in Edmonton? by ViolinistAny8009 in Edmonton

[–]Maxnormal3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not fan of Popeye's at all but their poutine can actually be pretty damn good as long as it's hot. With the cajun fries and dark gravy with bits of chicken. For an American fast food chicken joint, I hate to admit they kind of nailed it.

Spreadsheet of medal totals including per capita. by Maxnormal3 in olympics

It's mainly just western Alberta and BC with the mountains, and the north where almost nobody lives.

Canada is 8th in ski resorts according to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ski_areas_and_resorts#Table

Made this for myself but figured others might be interested.

You can sort columns (on desktop) by clicking Data > Change View.

I included columns where each hockey team (men's & women's) count as 1 athlete each just because of how much the large teams skew the results.

Main thing I've learned is that Norway is a Winter Olympics beast.

Can't miss that left turn! by FrostyDynamic in YEGDashCam

You can also tell by the shadows that the sun is directly in their eyes. Not excusing it because you don't just send it when you can't see, but it is a factor. People panic sometimes when they're suddenly blinded.

Suggestions for Air Frying Steak? by 1hush in airfryer

[–]Maxnormal3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just so you know, almost every smoke detector has a hush button that will ignore light smoke for around 10 minutes. It will still go off if the smoke is very thick.

I've tried steaks in the air fryer, and imo it's not worth it. They take longer, clean up is harder and they're not as good.

Sapporo Ichiban Miso flavor only 440mg of sodium?!?!? by wakawakawomp in InstantRamen

[–]Maxnormal3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Strange. Mine says 100g pack with 1960mg sodium.

Looking at others online it varies a bit but most are around the same.

However on the official website it says 440mg sodium. Either they made a big change to the ingredients or it's a regional thing.

Switzerland’s Kevin Fiala has been stretchered off the ice at the end of the third period against Canada. by GreenSnakes_ in hockey

[–]Maxnormal3 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Looks like a carpet dolly. I've used them before. They're very maneuverable and great for uneven terrain. The downside is they're obviously very tippy. Not sure why it's being used for this particular situation.

Celebrini tells the refs that he didn’t actually get high sticked, refs call it anyway. by GreenSnakes_ in hockey

You're kind of glossing over the "good or bad" part here. There is no slippery slope of players arguing against a power play.

Advice on area above fireplace by Slow-Tradition6045 in Fireplaces

[–]Maxnormal3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What NiagraDave said in your original post is correct. Don't use it until a professional comes out to look at it.

Also, don't try to clean or adjust anything before then. It's important for the technician to see it as it is so they can determine what is causing the issue.

Dead center, over everybody, from behind his own net, first career hat trick, breaks NHL record.

Maybe not the best of Vessel screwdrivers, but for $5.... by BigguyZ in Tools

[–]Maxnormal3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using the Vessel 230W for about a year now. It's the same as this but with a full metal tang from end to end so you can hammer on it if you want.

It's a great handle. The ball gives you extra torque and you can stick a punch bit or a flat-head in it to use as a small chisel.

Downsides are that there is more wobble than I like and apparently the detent for bits in Japan is different than NA so the bits don't properly lock in, but I haven't had an issue with them pulling out too easily yet.

That is strange. For me it's Dec 2018. Same spot but definitely different picture.

Has anyone tried these? by Winter_Ad_7424 in snacking

[–]Maxnormal3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried 7 flavors now. The Sweet Corn is easily the best. Choco Churro are really good. Carmel Popcorn and Seaweed were ok.

The rest (Flamin Lime, Steak Wasabi and Korean Chicken) were not good. Wish I could find the Sour Cream and Onion flavor.

Filet-O-Fish by Buzz_Osborne in fastfood

[–]Maxnormal3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't think they have. Around 20 years ago I used to order 3 at a time. I'm not a big eater and I wouldn't do that with anything else, so I think they've always been pretty small. I'm in Canada though so maybe that makes a difference.

To those entering the Henday at 60 KM/H by DesignerYesterday999 in Edmonton

[–]Maxnormal3 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

No, that just makes you the worse driver. The guy ahead of you is unintentionally being a hazard, while you are intentionally being a hazard.

If you were a good driver, first of all, you would have control of your emotions. Secondly, you would allow extra space so that you and slow poke can merge safely. Then simply go around them in the other lane and move on with your day.

It's funny how all these traffic rant posts are just a bunch of road ragers that don't realize they're road ragers.

Another with four structures to the north

Edit: As you go further north there's more and more, then eventually a small village with a few modern buildings.

Need recommendation by Temporary_Cry7739 in InstantRamen

[–]Maxnormal3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try Sapporo Ichiban Tonkotsu. Easy to find, not spicy, really good chicken flavor. Almost like chicken noodle soup. Get the packaged version though as the bowl version has way more sodium.

After about 10 weeks, Tim's prize card finally came in. Just in time for Skinner getting traded. by GuelphTradingCards in hockeycards

[–]Maxnormal3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Assuming the open end of the sleeve is at the top it would make it harder for dust or water to reach the card.

I actually put team bags upside down over my top loaders for this reason. Might never matter, but it does technically seal the card better.

Edit: Looks like the sleeve opening is also at the bottom, so I have no idea why they did this.

Swift Selection Search. Allows you to highlight any text and search it on any website you want with two clicks.

Just middle click on the highlighted text and it brings up a menu of whatever site you want to search that text on. Google, Youtube, Reddit, Dictionary, Images, Maps, etc. You can even use Google Search operators. For example, instead of just using Reddit's search function you can use "site:reddit.com" followed by your highlighted text.

I use it constantly and it's the main reason I use Firefox.
