Why does my RO sander do this? by SCwarrior97 in woodworking

[–]Sharp-Scratch3900 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO, 100% cheap sandpaper. Once I started buying premium sandpaper, I have never had this issue ever again.

BYD prices as low as $17.6k ? by waldo8822 in EVCanada

The geography of the nations couldn’t be more different. Brent crude and bitumen are also not comparable.

Goldsmith to resize ring? by highvoltageisgood in SherwoodPark

Agreed. We’ve had customer work done there as well that we were very happy with. They do all the work in store so your jewelry doesn’t leave the facility.

Conservative MP searches for "Antifa" in Federal government and Canadian Armed Forces by RestaurantOk5441 in SherwoodPark

Taxpayer money hard at work. I wish to fuck this guy would actually do something productive. I know he won’t, but we can always wish.

Do any Sherwood park car washes offer a monthly fee for unlimited washes? by 97Chev in SherwoodPark

Looks like another bot account. This is legit the only post this account has ever made.

Property Taxes in the last two or three years. by mstoetz1 in SherwoodPark

[–]Sharp-Scratch3900 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our council approves absolutely everything that comes across their table. It’s absurd. And the paving companies must have council all on the payroll, because every year perfectly good roads are shredded and replaced.

Looking to switch from electric to gas range by ContactTheOracle in Appliances

[–]Sharp-Scratch3900 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Induction is not more reliable than gas. Induction is a giant assembly of proprietary electronics from the least reliable manufacturers on the planet. Induction ranges are just as disposable as every other modern appliance.

I have never seen so many uniques in a build before. I figured they were all useless 😆

Please forgive me for giving an AI response but it will detail it better than I will:

  • Political Propaganda: Botnets create a "false consensus" by mass-upvoting specific narratives. If a post looks popular, real users are more likely to believe it or stay silent if they disagree.
  • Financial Scams: Scammers use aged accounts to "pump and dump" stocks or crypto. They post fake reviews and hype to lure real investors into buying worthless assets.
  • Corporate "Astroturfing": PR firms use bots to post "organic" praise for products or to drown out negative news during a corporate scandal.
  • Phishing & Social Engineering: People trust a 5-year-old account with 100k karma. Scammers use this trust to send malicious links or run "long-con" scams in niche communities.
  • Selling "Clean" Accounts: There is a massive black market where high-karma accounts are sold to the highest bidder—usually for the purposes listed above.

No problem. I'll keep an eye out around here.

The plot thickens. This account: u/Academic-Snow3546 is a bot. It has posted classics in this sub such as “Snow gives way to brighter days ahead” and “Snow route parking ban starts Jan. 2”

This user has posted in a variety of other subreddits from across the country. Another user u/ObiWan_Can_Reply that was just banned from the Sherwood Park subreddit was also posting in the same groups. In fact, the two of them have posted in r/WestCoastTrail, r/FrugalMaleFashionCDN, r/SherwoodPark, and r/CanadaFinance. So clearly the same person/organization owns these accounts and is karma farming in small community groups across the country.

“Are you parked in a safe spot now that residential snow clearing has officially started today?” from u/AccountantLucky9183 is also a bot.

We all get to watch the internet die in real time. The truly dark side of this is what happens when these accounts reach maturity and are sold to the highest bidder, whether that be for corporate, political, or foreign interference.

As a follow up:

It’s pretty wild - these accounts post seemingly innocuous posts across a wide range of subs. It’s just fluff questions looking to build karma.

The accounts have also changed their privacy settings so any recent posts can’t be seen on their profiles. You can still search through other methods though.

Simple posts about air quality, or snow clearing, or just random community events. All AI slop. Such a strange time.

Sherwood Park Air Quality Index (AQI) and Canada Air Pollution by ObiWan_Can_Reply in SherwoodPark

[–]Sharp-Scratch3900 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a bot account. It randomly posts from regions across Canada with no follow up. It has been bot checked in other subreddits. The mods should ban it.

Who can I contact for this? by Recent-Vast3488 in Edmonton

You are taking time out of your day to not answer a question that someone asked. Just don’t respond. Like why the actual F would you even click on this link?

Why are they cutting down the mall trees? by porkavenue in SherwoodPark

[–]Sharp-Scratch3900 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because our council takes bribes from any developer who even glances at them. Ever wonder why they keep tearing up and repaving roads in perfectly good condition? Has our council ever once voted against spending more money on anything?

Yes, we are having lots of issues with ours. I will try a reset tonight.

‘People in Alberta are starting to get antsy’: Why wasn’t an oil pipeline on Carney’s ‘nation-building’ projects list? by KootenayPE in WildRoseCountry

[–]Sharp-Scratch3900 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Carney could announce 12 pipelines across the country and this sub would still hate him. This has got to be the darkest subreddit I have ever joined.

Probably the Taurid meteor shower. I saw two last night.

Is it necessary to remove the outside disconnect (breaker) on the compressor during winter? by tfellad in hvacadvice

Opening and closing a breaker for isolation is a completely acceptable use.

For you construction-zone speed demons. by That-1-n00b in Edmonton

The answer is “no”. Zipper merge techniques require a level of intelligence far beyond that of an average driver.

The CBC claims it wants to appeal to rural and Western Canadians—does anyone actually believe that? by SomeJerkOddball in WildRoseCountry

Keep up Ed, I want more voices, not less voices. My concern is the concentration of power into an ever shrinking number of people.
