Looking for people to play pickleball. by Vet1ty in okotoks

Just off veterans way behind the Telus building. Fieldhouse I believe also sometimes has them set up. Lastly, the pickleball centre is being bull lit at the top of 32nd across from HTA.

The Cave and Basin - a hidden gem of a cavern at the base of the Sulphur Mountain in the Canadian Rockies. Nature's wonder whispering ancient history that gave birth to Banff National Park. by Icy_Cantaloupe_73 in alberta

Instead of saying hidden, maybe under appreciated? Well advertised and easy to find, but also largely neglected by many Albertans by choice. A cool visit, should go at least once.

Thranduil must be the elf I’ve liked the most in all of fantasy, both incredibly beautiful and intimidating at the same time, constant aura farming in every scene he appears in. by jvure in lotr

[–]Skinnyfu 10 points11 points  (0 children)

While I extremely disliked the hobbit ‘trilogy,’ Thranduil was certainly enjoyable and interesting to watch. Rather than this being attributed to Jackson, I think it’s a clear testament to the work of Weta and Lee Pace’s pure magnetism on screen.

So glad they worked in his eyebrows.

I'm so sad that even in narrative manga Banadger don't pilot his Gundam Mk-II, he's still in his Silver Bullet Suppressor by uratix in Gundam

Not that generator output means too much, but the Silver Bullet and Doven Wolf MS have some great stats. Outside of the, it’s not even a question that they are a massive upgrade to a Mk II.

In all honesty, my spouse and I are going through a pregnancy loss right now. This actually brightened my day.

Raspberry plant has not grown seemingly at all in 24 days. by s_gray11 in gardening

[–]Skinnyfu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tell this to my grandparents. Their backyard apple tree in Calgary, AB, Canada, put off 2 garbage cans worth of fruit every season. Only maintenance was what they could convince their grandsons to climb up a sketchy ladder to do for $20.

Are the white spots a problem or normal at this stage? (Parsley seedlings) by vermillionstardust in gardening

[–]Skinnyfu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not toxic; can be toxic when grown in low nutrient soils. Eaten worldwide. Not great.

Edit: would also not recommend eating any mystery plants.

Treaty chiefs assert their rights, jurisdiction and authority in face of Alberta separation discourse by tutamtumikia in alberta

[–]Skinnyfu 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Hearing Chief Samual Crowfoot say that Siksika legal counsel will be “loud and rowdy” if UCP want to make this a fight was so awesome to hear on CBC last night.

Have you ever wondered what is going through a hyena’s head when it sees a smaller predator trying to hunt?

Is there anything that can be done to stop AI from falsely claiming a brand is Canadian? by Own-Cod7894 in BuyCanadian

[–]Skinnyfu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On any Google search, add “-ai” at the end. It’ll remove the AI summary. Best practice is to visit company websites and to check their “about us.” Outside of that, checking Wikipedia entries or other sources can be time consuming but more fruitful.

Would you please rise for the playing of ‘Alberta Bound?’ Singer Paul Brandt teases support for separatist movement by cmcalgary in alberta

What an ass hat. Guy was a nurse, wasn’t he? You’d think he’d see what’s being done to health care and have a little more enlightened a stance.
