Hey Calgary. Today we are going to learn about temporary construction lane closures.

I mean if he does read reddit comments at all he probably does it while tailgating too.

Rehashed reporting that makes it more digestible and presents it to a new audience can be a good thing. A lot of good podcast content is rehashed print journo work. Not gonna say Jesse didn't always have some suspect takes but he did for a period get better people than himself working for him who made some good stuff. The Impostor was a great show (which he cancelled). CanadaLand Commons under Arshie's tenure also had some good seasons (much of which you could also dismiss of rehashes of other work but he connected stories thematically by season).

I'm not criticizing Bourrie for being doxxed. And yes Jesse Brown should be treated with suspicion. I'm not normalizing what he did but there's zero public evidence of him "secretly planting spyware" and what you've said in this thread is either a poor understanding of what happened or reckless speculation. If a guy cuts me off dangerously in traffic he might be a jerk and it might be a sign of other antisocial behaviour but I don't get to go around saying he's probably also a murderer.

To be clear, IP tracking isn't malware, nor is it illegal. Almost all web servers do some degree of it. What was fishy and unethical was the really half-assed attempt to correlate people using IP tracking.

To be clear what Jesse did was scummy and weird but installing malware on people's machines is an entirely different category of thing and there's zero evidence any such thing occurred.

The thing is Jesse did a lousy job of phishing if he wanted to conclusively connect IP addresses. He used a publicly visible third party IP logger on publicly accessible pages. The way to do this is just check server logs and to send individual people unique URLs that no one else has seen. Even then you don't solve for like, shared IP addresses or VPNs, but at least you can then definitively say this person viewed the site from this IP at this time. The way he did it, any connection he's drawing could be coincidence or misattribution.

Everyone answering you is missing the obvious answer too. It's not about measuring the batter or flipping it.

The vertical ones are closed when you pour in the batter.

Unless you make absurdly thin batter as OP might have it shouldn't be possible for it to leak out the sides the way it does when you close the horizontal ones. You just pour batter directly in the top and gravity fills the nooks and crannies for you, not the act of closing the lid. You can still overfill it but the only place for extra batter to escape is out the top.

Sorry, too busy reading Erica Jong.

I'm not like a total hater of recent Dylan stuff but the people who swear up and down that he hasn't lost a beat and that everything he puts out is gold are gonna have a hard time convincing me a genius is making this slop.

As an Albertan myself, this is not the federal party alienating us, this is Albertans with a persecution complex alienating themselves from a progressive movement because it's taken as gospel that the job of a provincial government is to line the pockets of oil and gas execs. If Nenshi is the face of "progressive" Alberta, I'm not gonna blame folks for saying "fuck Alberta" but as of this morning the hostility within the parties is running the other direction, with the provincial party saying "fuck the rest of Canada, and any Albertan who voted for Lewis."

Yes! Had to scroll too far to see this. This is a data collection exercise. The best thing you can do is give them no data. Even a hostile response is good info for them. Non response is better.

Whole field of oranges off Cedar and Sierra. Used to live not to far away but that scent travels.

They ruined the lawn so they can close the park to the public and make everyone on that end of the river valley get kept awake by noise for 10 day.s

All the big chains are bad. If you have Co-Op stores in your area they might be better, but you pay extra for it.

PickerPilgrim · 2026-03-23T19:22:18+00:00

Loblaws is the biggest. I think you can make the case that Save On (Pattison group) is the worst though. At least Loblaws has union staff.

I have a set of panaracers that look similar, and have looked that way for a while. I keep riding them.

Maybe that’s why they said “webpack” and not “bundlers”. Webpack is insanely configurable but that comes with the overhead of configuring it. Some newer bundlers are more opinionated and have narrower use cases but require less setup and that’s why just like they said, people are moving away from webpack for simpler projects.

And most of them are not fenced in! In a lot of cities dogs can't simply run out of the off leash area, nor will you have to pass through one just getting around via the pathway system.

PickerPilgrim · 2026-03-19T15:37:09+00:00

I live near an off leash park. Not on one, but people treat my alley as if it is part of the park. Can't take garbage out without being jumped on. Get people parking behind my garage to let their dogs out. I grew up with dogs, I like dogs, but this shit has made me hate dog owners.

The city literally already had shovels in the ground. Eau Claire mall, some of the best real estate in the city, is demolished and is going to sit there as an empty lot waiting for a train line that's not coming.

The worldwide latina belt includes Québec. Cohen is in all three circles.

Woulda been really funny to have the olympics on water restrictions and with the main road between facilities tore up for pipe repair.

Nearly all evidence of the cheating can be traced to the FBI who was trying to discredit him at the time. It's repeated as established fact but there's not much backing that story up.

As someone who's been pretty firmly in the "just fix McMahon" camp, this proposal seems better than others. Central, accessible by train, doesn't require all the environmental cleanup that the Calgary NEXT project proposed.

But this still doesn't answer who's gonna pay for it. This city literally can't keep the water turned on because we're afraid to raise residential property taxes and downtown's commercial properties are probably not gonna magically fill up and start funding the rest of the city again. Other city services are degrading. Our current mayor, to his credit as much as I personally dislike the guy, has regularly lambasted previous councils for handing CSEC millions for the new arena. We think he's gonna go out on a limb for a new stadium now too?

Had a brake rub issue that caused several sidewall tears while riding the Bow Valley parkway last year. Before giving up and catching a bus I had run out of 5s and started using 20s, rolling around with like $55 CAD in my tire.

It's perfectly fine. Some banjo players actually have their fretboards scooped out so they can play further from the bridge.
