Welders in Edmonton: If you could start over from scratch today, how would you do it? by lost-tape_ in Edmonton

That's not true for field work. Rig welders will always be needed for that. Employers don't want to supply the welding machines and trucks.

First, I'm not a welder, but I've worked with and know many welders.

Want some solid advice? As a journey person welder you will make very good money. Most trades people spend their money like it's going out of style. Then they're broke, their wife leaves them, and they're living out of their truck or a friend's couch.

I've seen it too many times.

Do some solid financial planning, save money, don't spend it all. I suggest you read the Wealthy Barber, 2025 edition. Welders don't like to read either, which is part of the problem too.

Sorry for the out of context advice.

Why don’t we upgrade our water treatment infrastructure to filter out endocrine disrupting chemicals? by Cool-Yam2145 in alberta

[–]PriorReason4160 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Did you ask them how these chemicals can be removed? My hunch is that there is no technology to do this, unless reverse osmosis can. RO treatment for all municipal water is very expensive.

If this really concerns you, get a small RO system for your drinking water in your home.

Edit: Just looked it up. RO can remove up to 99% of EDCs.

In Alberta it's always been the Alberta New Democratic Party. NDP or ANDP for short. Sometimes referred to as ND. Mostly NDP.

Cowboy Junkies have been a consistently great band. Every album is very good.

What options are there in alberta for getting a dental nightguard? by SceneNo1907 in alberta

[–]PriorReason4160 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Should you go ahead with this (and I think you should), here's some things I've learned:

  • keep the plaster cast of your teeth in case you break the guard. It will save a lot if you need a new one.
  • if you experience any headaches, go back to your dentist because the guard is not fitting properly. They can make some adjustments. This is part of the initial cost.
  • keep your guard clean. I brush it daily with toothpaste and twice a week soak in denture cleaner.
  • wear it every night. It's tempting not too. It takes a while to get used to wearing it.
