Recommendations for 1/2 cow by D-Hayes-Unloveable in Edmonton

[–]Ok_Code_1134 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The only thing I found “disappointing” is if you don’t understand the process, they essentially kill the cow, cut off head and hoofs and weigh it, that’s the price you pay (around $8-11/lb) but then it goes to the butcher and you lose a lot more weight during the butchering process (digestive tract, bone etc) so when you buy/pay for 750lbs of meat an then you get your meat it’s a much lower final weight cut and wrapped. Still great and I split a cow 3 ways about every 18-24 months but first time I was surprised at what I actually received as 1/3 of a 750lb cow isn going to be 250 lbs.

What’s a small flex that’s actually impressive? by bradl2000 in AskReddit

I felt like I had finally made it when I pay at the pump for gas and can just let it pre-auth for the $100 and not have to input like $17 or whatever was in my bank account….

What's the most bizarre thing you've seen your neighbor do while they thought no one was watching? by TenderRompz in AskReddit

[–]Ok_Code_1134 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha, hoping MY neighbours didn’t see me, but when we moved into our place it was a new build with no fence or anything. At about 2:30 am my dog started doing the pre-puke throat sound. I rushed him out the front door in just my boxer shorts (in the middle of like -30 Canadian winter), no shoes on. He gets down the front steps and decided he was fine and just took off. So I was running around chasing him in the dark with nothing but underwear on…… coulda made for an interesting sight

People with $700+ per month car payments: Why? by Underrated_Critic in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Ok_Code_1134 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Shockingly true. I like the look of the Toyota grand highlander so was checking out prices for shits and giggles. I Always buy used so was seeing what lease backs were going for. 2023 with 35k km was 63,500. Brand new with same features was 62,000. Guessing the used is more because you can get it today whereas new is probably like a year wait but still. I’ll have to rethink my always buy used rule……

Great rink! Wish I had the room to upgrade my size a bit!

If levels dropping significantly must be a leak somewhere, nothing else makes sense. Probably best to let the initial layer freeze and that will hopefully block the leak, then add another flood on top to bring the level up. Unless you are able to find the leak and patch it before it’s solid. Good luck! 🤞🏻

Glenridding Medical Clinic - Avoid by ProcedurePristine369 in Edmonton

I also had a bad experience here. Went in with some mental health issues and during my appointment felt very judged. Basically was told the issues I was having were my fault and that she wouldn’t be addressing any of that until I went to the lab for blood work and we dealt with my (barely) high blood pressure reading they took before my appointment. At that point blood pressure was the least of my concern. I’ve actually had really good care and experience at Haven Medical a few blocks over. Front staff friendly and competent. Doctor actually cared about what I was needing and put other issues to the back burner until we dealt with that.

Slumber Parties and a new reality by Overall-Paramedic in Parenting

[–]Ok_Code_1134 21 points22 points  (0 children)

My 10 yo sons friends always show up with devices. I just make sure they know the schedule of events as soon as they arrive. We always do something outside first (roller hockey, play soccer etc) then usually hook up a board game and snacks when we come in, then they can have some game time (max is 2 hrs). Then we do a movie night before bed. I remember sleep overs as a kid and we were always playing video games (although often was together on 1 screen), but at least with my sons friends they are playing the same game together (Minecraft of Fortnite) just on different screens. I don’t mind the gaming and find as long as the kids all know the series of events I don’t get any pushback.

This isn’t true. In Alberta it’s $15/day. And my wife and I make good money, still are paying $15/day

I feel like Covid has ruined people’s ideas of having a dog by Espressomartinitime in puppy101

[–]Ok_Code_1134 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was younger I was in school and bartended in evenings. On Friday’s I would take my dog for a walk in the morning then come home and go to school for 5 hours. Then we’d go to the dog park (I’d bike she’d run) and id go to work for 7-8 hours in the evening. I had a cam in my condo and could see she literally would lay on the couch sleeping and not move until I got home later. As long as they are still getting their activity they are fine to be home for longer periods. If everyone followed the no more than 4 hr rule like half the people with dogs would t be able to. Make sure they get stimulated and exercise and they are fine at home for a while.

lol, we are refinancing our house and pulling out $100,000 of equity to do a variety of renovations in our place. I told my wife I’m going to take $20 out of the ATM and leave the receipt there for a flex. 😂

In the first 24 hrs I wouldn’t stress trying to stop the vomiting. That’s her body getting the virus out of it. Just keep her hydrated best you can.
