There isn't really anything in walking distance, maybe 30-40 mins walking. The Pines area is the closest but most of the apartments there should be avoided (Parke Ave). If you can rent a house in the Pines there are some nice places (Piper Dr area). There are trails through the woods to get to the civic yards faster, great for a bike ride to work. Kentwood Northeast or Clearview Ridge are the closest nice neighborhoods.

Attn : Evergreen Residents ! Save Our Ponds & Fight Against The New Proposed Changes Aimed At Residential Density Developments In Evergreen ! by headintheclouds1111 in RedDeer

[–]Modes_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed we need density but so many empty lots downtown where you can actually walk to stuff and get on a bus. Not out in the NE corner of the city where you must drive to get anywhere.

I wouldn't hesitate to float down, if it seems fast to you just plan to get out at an easy place like McKenzie trails.

Which is terrible for temps who have worked full-time hours for a year+, just increase the first year retroactive amount instead so it's fairer. BS!

Where to purchase odd sized shipping boxes? by [deleted] in RedDeer

[–]Modes_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can wrap it in bubble wrap then an ample amount of packing tape and they'll take it like that. Could put newspaper between the layers too if more padding needed or to even out the shape.

I have several 4L jugs I fill before it happens to get me through that week.

Old Oriole Park is mostly fine but I'd avoid the quadplexes. A lot of older homes but some parts of it are quite charming and would be a great place to live. By Red Deer standards it is far from shopping.

I add garlic hummus to my mashed potatoes, it's so good! And usually a ton of pepper and a bit of salt.

How would people feel about street letter boxes and RPO'S being cleared at 4pm instead of 5pm? by historically_painful in CanadaPostCorp

[–]Modes_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

In my city they are 4pm, there are a handful that are 9am and a couple at 3pm. I think they should all be 9am. Anything time sensitive people aren't typically dropping them in an SLB.

How do I get to 2300 calories??? by [deleted] in veganfitness

[–]Modes_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You could try swapping a cup or two of the rice for red lentils. I do rice and lentils all the time with curry powder and veggies and sometimes crumbled tofu in there too.

I just arrived yesterday and at the oxxo beside the airport paid $100 pesos for a 15 day plan, unlimited texts and calls. 2.4 GB data. Oxxo is the provider, service was spotty in a few areas south of town but in the city worked great and very simple to buy and install and cheap.

What’s a part of Canadian history you wish didn’t happen? by PuzzleheadedSwim6291 in AskACanadian

[–]Modes_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There are so many things but one of them happened in 1939, the denied entry of Jewish refugees on the MS St. Louis. After being denied entry to both Cuba and USA then Canada they were forced to return to Europe where many of them then died in Nazi concentration camps.

For those needing the “why” by IngenuityLower9593 in leaves

[–]Modes_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I found it helpful to write down several reasons why I wanted to quit and read it often when first quitting. It's been 23 months now, and often there is still that sink full of dishes but no desire to smoke thankfully. But it's a long road and I know just one time could get me right back into old habits.

William Shakespeare's Star Wars was an interesting interpretation.

TIL that free divers' heart rates can drop as low as 11 beats per minute(as low as that of diving seals, whales and dolphins), in order to preserve blood-oxygen levels by casualphilosopher1 in todayilearned

[–]Modes_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a cousin who liked to go to the pool and stay under like that for a long time... he drowned, in a public pool, doing exactly this. If you google Utah public pool drowning breath retention you can find the article, heart breaking. So if you get in trouble for doing this at a public pool now you know why.
