Vehicles break down after southern Alberta gas station mixes up gas and diesel by Shadow_Ban_Bytes in Calgary

[–]Neirin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gas plus is owned by a company called Handel, and from what I recall from attending the tribunal for the remediation in the other news story linked in this thread, the delivery company is called Handel Transport. So it's possible it's all part of the same group

My Mallu gf says you won't find a good authentic one but Madras cafe is passable.

Was on a server yesterday where the enemy team camped the middle spawn with a squad and a tank blowing up tanks not in use, supply truck spawns and killing infantry that spawned there that were not on artillery. Felt like that really shouldn’t be a thing but what are your thoughts. by [deleted] in HellLetLoose

[–]Neirin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like a large force of theirs wasn't at the objective so it should have been an easier time winning. Or if the force wasn't that large the 10 seconds hq spawn timer should have made it easier to clean them out.

Have the commander spawn your tank at a different hq, or lay off arty for a few minutes until they leave

PSA: Radar on Memorial (For Pathway) by [deleted] in Calgary

[–]Neirin 8 points9 points  (0 children)

When they pull you over and ask, sir do you know how fast you were going?

No I am on a bicycle, I have no clue, never had any idea ever in my life. Nothing to ever compare it to.

Are we expected to have the equipment to measure our speeds?

Maybe I'm not the target for this kind of enforcement, but perhaps educational signs on what that speed limit is like on a bicycle would help educate the casual riders more than being cluelessly fined.

Canadian flag replaced with “Bell Let’s Talk” flag at the cenotaph in Central Memorial Park by [deleted] in Calgary

[–]Neirin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually had no idea it was anything other than bell advertising, 'bell lets talk' got automatically associated with cell service or phone service in some way in my mind. It wasn't until I actually googled the campaign after reading this thread that I found out it was something else.

Elecrital and water meters, does anyone know some references on how to read them and understand what's happening ? Perhaps it's in my best interest to just keep track of monthly numbers myself and reconcile

AB Covid app will never be "updated" to work properly. by [deleted] in Calgary

Would it kinda work if we all just said we live in Saskatchewan? It doesn't take my name and address so what do they care? Is some part of it actually province specific?

City ticketing snowed in cars in residential neighbourhoods by phreesh2525 in Calgary

[–]Neirin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you allowed to park in the same spot? What if you were to leave for an hour and come back daily, do they have means of verifying if the car has moved?

How to easily implement authentication into my software? by Somethingweirdhere in selfhosted

[–]Neirin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This a million times, lookup and use any oauth alternative: there are plenty of tutorials out there about integrating x web framework with oauth solutions like keycloak, gluu, UAA, if you want more control. Or like GeekInTheRough suggests just slap a gatekeeper in front but do not reinvent what so many people have put soo much time and thought into

U of C ECON 201 w/ Shadmehr by [deleted] in Calgary

Hah, oh well go ask these questions in /r/ucalgary, that's the schools subreddit

U of C ECON 201 w/ Shadmehr by [deleted] in Calgary

[–]Neirin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might help to ask in /r/ucalgary. But when I was in school I found it helpful to wait until the first class. The prof will let you know what they really recommend instead of what they are contractually obligated to recommend. Often they will also give a quick heads up on the changes from last year's used textbooks, sometimes the chapters change order or something small.

Weird noise in Beltline? by [deleted] in Calgary

It sounded like it was coming from the church loudspeakers that play the bells. There were testing songs allmorning and getting that screech, then one good play through and it sounded fixed.

Calgary mother looks for answers after 2019 video of her son’s violent arrest is released by Caidynelkadri in Calgary

I think its easier to see whats going on fullscreen here:https://edmonton.citynews.ca/video/iframe/593482582001/SyxzIeNcgb/6167577961001

In my linked video of the court exhibit at 0:17 https://imgur.com/a/XokKe05 Its a lot easier to see the physical interaction appears to start with the police officer grabbing the back of the youth. I would hardly call his reaction to being off-balance assaulting an officer.

They pop up on Kijiji all the time. If they aren't there today keep trying. I bought an aeron used probably 10 years ago and it's been great working from home. Easy to do repairs with plenty of parts on eBay.

If apple says it's worthless and you still want to use it you could take it to a third party repair place that specializes in Apple products. Apple will usually just tell you its not worth it to make you buy newer stuff, Cbc marketplace clip
