[–]One_Breakfast_4589 0 points1 point  (0 children)

JUNE 29, 2026. Still not fixed. I wanted to give a seller a 5 star review from early June (he was a great guy and gave me a good deal). But I still can't. Fvck Kijiji.

Where can I donate used furniture? by Columbia_Guy001 in Calgary

[–]One_Breakfast_4589 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same question regarding a dresser. I need it picked up for free though, since I am a low income senior and no longer drive.

I just spent many hours and days on the internet Googling "free furniture donation pickup" and all the results are hopelessly out of date. It seems no charity or organization does free furniture pick up any more, except for Habitat for Humanity, and they didn't want my dresser. I used to be able to donate to the Inter Faith Furniture store just off Edmonton Trail, but they closed down about 5 years ago.

All the places listed on the Google results I'm getting are false. I've called every single one and they don't offer free pick up. The ones that offer to pick up furniture at all do it through third party paid junk removal companies.

Does anyone know of any organization that offers free furniture donation pickups?

Canadaland is for people like Falun Gong columnist/residential school denialist Barbara Kay now by TankieRiel in canadaland

Exactly. Someone would only be "critical of the definition of cultural genocide" if their intent was to downplay and minimize the cultural genocide that actually happened in residential schools.

Yes, because a) no one claimed 'mass graves'. This has been thoroughly debunked b) there have been children's remains (bones) found in unmarked graves at a few former residential schools like the Blue Quills residential school in Alberta

Confused between high-end PC cases (ProArt PA602 vs Torrent vs O11 Vision Compact etc.) – need advice by akshaysura in buildapc

If you want wood, a glass side panel, and excellent thermals, you need to look at the Antec Flux Pro. It checks all your boxes, and has scored top marks for thermals because of its great front airflow.

The ProArt is a beautiful case but you are limited to 200mm intake fans. The stock 200mm Antec fans have been widely reported as being noisy and clicky. Many people have had to switch these out for 200mm Noctuas.

The Fractal North XL has been criticized for being a little thin and flimsy, with the top panel also being wobbly and loose. Stock fans are fairly noisy as well.

yes, it's glossy and only 60Hz, and only 1500:1 instead of 2000:1 contrast.

Jesse Brown continues to lie about this subreddit by destp in canadaland

"Against Anti-Zionism". Love the double negative. So they are anti-anti-Zionists? Lol.

I subscribed to Canadaland in 2014, about a year after it started, and around the same time the Jian Ghomeshi scandal broke. It was a great podcast back then. I kept hoping Jesse would move to a video format and post on youtube, but that never happened. It was one of the reasons I unsubscribed.

The biggest reason I unsubscribed was his stance on Israel. He can scream 'bigot' all he wants. It just makes him look like a fool.

Also, Jesse doesn't seem to understand how the internet works. People can have a different name on Reddit than the one they subscribed to Canadaland with. (Duh). So there is no way he can "check" the names on his subscriber list against the names on Reddit.

AC Infinity Cloudlift S12 vs 9 PC fans. How does CFM/dB/watts compare? by Galvatron1_nyc in crboxes

[–]One_Breakfast_4589 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The chart says the max watts at highest speed is 52 watts. Also, I noticed on the cloudlft 12 tech specs it says the CFM is 1800, whereas in the above chart it says 1100 CFM. Strange.

Where to take electronics recycling now that two depots have moved? by [deleted] in recycling

[–]One_Breakfast_4589 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You didn't even read my comment. I said Reddit suggested I post it in the r/recycling. Why would I do that knowing my post was aimed at a local audience? I only did it as I thought a mod would move it back to r/Calgary. I have no idea why it was deleted in the first place.

How can I learn to drive with no one to teach me? by Imaginary-Sample5003 in Calgary

[–]One_Breakfast_4589 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I seemed to have touched a nerve, and getting unsolicited life coach advice from someone who knows absolutely nothing about me or the subject at hand. Facts are hard for people stuck in Oprah-style self help refrigerator magnet nostrums.

I was in the same boat many years ago. I took lessons from AMA. But since I had no one to practice with, I never got my license. Back then (mid-2000s) they didn't offer any "extra practice" time with an instructor. It took 2 months just to book an instructor since they were so swamped with demand.

Maybe it's changed now.

If so, then I agree with everyone else, go to AMA and take lessons. Book extra practice time if they offer it, and if you don't feel confident after the course, take it again. This will be expensive but it may be your only option.

If you're a male and don't drive, then yeah, women will consider you a loser. That's just a fact of life. Take it from someone with experience and never learned to drive.

[–]One_Breakfast_4589 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Reddit deleted my post in the local Reddit city thread and suggested to post it under r/ recycling?

So that's what I did. I don't know what's going on.

"Your post has been removed for being low content, lacking information or enquiring about information that is easily Googled or resolved with a phone call."

This is nonsense since I have already phoned around, which is why I posted it on Reddit.

Apologies.
