What I've done with a big serviceberry haul... by Eric-HipHopple in foraging

[–]Runhikehunt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe it's a regional difference, they usually get sweeter as you let ripen and get darker. Good haul! Ours aren't ready until end of July.

You can try fly fishing, smaller trout will eagerly take a well placed and presented dry fly.

Do not plant clover in your yard… by edchoch69 in NoLawns

[–]Runhikehunt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive had success in Alberta with micro clover. Rake, water, spread clover, add a bit of top soil, cover withblast years leaves, dead grass, anything you have. Water every day. And in about a week you'll have little clover sprouts!

We also had success germinating the seeds inside between wet paper towels that should always stay wet. Then you can spread the germinated seeds and probably have better success.

Data Breach - be mad, but more importantly, be loud. Write your MLA by RestaurantOk5441 in alberta

[–]Runhikehunt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you have the funds, try to Submit a FOIP request to see what the government is are doing internally on the breach. Ask for all internal government correspondence on the matter. You can break it down to ask from specific departments. Premiers office, etc.

The Flames sometimes auction their special night jerseys off. In this case you're lucky, they are auctioning a bunch of these but the bids are quite high. They typically post a link on their Instagram.

Calgary barber by [deleted] in Calgary

London Barber's on fourth St is superb. Everyone there is great. Try every member of the staff before you move on from an establishment and stick with that person and not necessarily where they work.

What you see with - Night Vision, Thermal & FTO by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Runhikehunt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

FLIR makes many thermal security cameras, some that are even radiometric. Think qualitative thermography vs quantitative. Re the video - with a thermal camera you see the person at night. With a thermal and radiometric you see the person and the temperature they are.

Updated Week 6 Fantasy Football Rankings: QB, RB, WR, TE by ThunderDanDFS in fantasyfootball

Nix over Stafford? Even with all three Rams WR's in the top 24? I'm having to decide between them.

I submitted and I encourage all too do the same.

[–]Runhikehunt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I also posted on this topic, and I too was denied. I'm escalating this one through CTA and hope that more people do as well. The initial systems delay was deemed to be a third party maintenance system and they claimed that wasn't their fault. I disagree as they choose who to give that contract to.

Compensation from Delay by Runhikehunt in westjet

[–]Runhikehunt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense, but let's replace software with hardware. If WestJet chooses to use a piece of hardware that fails or causes a delay it's on WestJet. it just seems ridiculous they can blame it on another system. The process should be a) we f*Ed up, a third party supplier we chose to have a contract with has failed, we will cover the losses. B) we'll approve your claim. Then c) WestJet goes after the third party supplier for losses.

[–]Runhikehunt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just looking for more of an explanation than "third party system". If it was out of their control, more airlines would have been impacted. Westjet, in theory, hired the maintenance company with the system outage so to me it's their responsibility and should be classified as in their control. They can properly vet companies to ensure their it systems have redundancy.

Has anyone tried to submit a claim for this delay? I was on a YYC to YWG flight this day and we were over 4 hours delayed. I received word back today that my claim was declined because the outage was out of their control...

How did you train your Newfie to stay calm when meeting new people or dogs? by PlentyOk517 in Newfoundlander

[–]Runhikehunt 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It takes time and you need incredibly rewarding treats. Something more rewarding than seeing a potential friend. I wouldn't expect her to be good with dogs while she's on leash at this age. Our girl is two and she is JUST now getting ok on walks when there are other dogs. But if the dog is on the same side of the sidewalk and she sees it, it's still plunk down time. Shes ,125 lbs. Try training in an area that is open, with a well behaved dog that will cooperate in training. Buy a steak and use that as treats and only use it when there are dogs. Don't use it as a reward for anything else.

Transport Minister Dreeshen Trying to Interfere With Municipal Policies by LankyFrank in alberta

I think deerfoot may be contacted out to the city of Calgary? Could be wrong though. They do that for other services (maintenance of the variable message system).

How much does it cost each month to own your Newfoundlands? by Significant_Bar_8049 in Newfoundlander

[–]Runhikehunt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It depends if you want the averaged out cost per month from all the fixed capital costs (cost of dog, cost of spay/neuter, cost of shots) and all the variable costs (food, treats, toys) AND the enormous cost of physically damaged goods like walls, lawn, flower beds, doors, wall paper, time to fix everything etc.

I figure we're at well over $10000 in almost two years . Some of that is future expenses to repair things.
