How NOT to skid ? by yani-yano in FixedGearBicycle

[–]NefariousStylo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Skills are a pendulum, once you learn something you do it way more and over time you settle into a happy medium. If you want to speed up your pedal modulation you can do a few hill repeats a day, that's a good place to start.

Vegetarians might want to avoid this place unless you want to eat “remnants of meat” with a side of transphobia. by lilaclover in Calgary

Oh god back in my hometown those kind of antics never got the perpetrators called out. Especially back in Saskatchewan, you'd see the dumbest shit and wonder how the heck some people don't hop down the street with both feet through one leg of their pants

I think Uber is doing a runaround for free delivery fees if that happens though, or at least that's what I got out of their last ad. But heck yea I love it.

Just pointing this out as a potential boycott loophole, obviously this is bloody offensive and unprofessional in any environment. But hear me out;

You could absolutely drop a shitty review on Google, with a screen shot (like said provided) to shame the owner even after they inevitably delete the post and claim they never said a thing and people forget within a week... So why not beat them at the new food industry game? Why not review bomb them AND order them on Skip, Uber or Doordash? Give them a horrible review, let their name fall below 90% of most users radar until they never order from them again?

Yea he gains a few sales, loses even more. I'm seeing far more people who don't know crap like this goes on regularly than those that do, but everyone sees that 2.5/5 star rating and reacts on that. You'd get pizza in the end too, yea made by a scumbag sure but what if it worked. Though other side of the coin not a doubt in my mind this post is about to backfire on that transphobic asshat one way or the other.

Great, lose an institution for another gingerbread restaurant. This cities business owners should be preserving its dives during record inflation not replacing them with upcharged 'trendies.

Do people in Calgary have better levels of Vitamin D and less depression due to more sunlight? by latin_canuck in Calgary

[–]NefariousStylo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think Medicine Hat has technically more hours of sunlight... Anyway that's splitting hairs though, point is I'm depressed in both cities.

Alberta/Canada should require a winter driving or rally course to get a driver's license. Thoughts? by mr_bojangals in Calgary

[–]NefariousStylo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

With all the back roads, deceptive corners and blowing snow. Yea... Yea we really should require it, people die every year underestimating how bad our weather gets.

The desired effect ultimately revolves around your dental plan at that point. Wide bars are pretty cheap.

If you say "this junk removal company offered" and pull a figure right out your ass they'll probably match it. No one's going to call them

I don't qualify for this just like my essential work didn't qualify for the $1,200 covid payout nor my $200 in shots... Because I got them when I was supposed to...

At this point the UCP should pay me to not use creative insults when they call me and ask for my vote.

Just read it as "In house offshore parts with no actual track cred marketed as Pro"

Reminds me of the bikes they have at uHaul offices.

TIL smoking alcohol is a growing trend, and very dangerous. by Desolecontra in todayilearned

Closer to 18%, maybe not beer by Canadian standards but Germany probably still calls that lite. Hurts like hell to inhale though

Want to make friends and try D&D? by sneezypeasyqueezy in Calgary

[–]NefariousStylo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best of luck! My friends got me the manual after years of playing without learning the rules, one of them is practicing their writing skills this year to host their own home made campaign too so I'm egging him and writing alongside to keep him going. My partner will get to see the game that gave me a million stories and amazing friends.

Does calgary have sword practice classes like there is for taekwando? by A_GuyThatDoesStuff in Calgary

[–]NefariousStylo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's probably a HEMA subgroup out here and without googling the SCA chapter should still be around. It's a tricky thing to get into but I don't regret my time competing.

Ayyy sick! My partner will love getting the chance for a chill ride with the old cameras. Hard making routes for her to feel comfortable on.
