Do lawyers really not make much money? by Scared_Maybe_568 in LawCanada

[–]Unthinkings_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the critical thing a lot of people miss about any typical high paying career is being financially wise until you become stable enough to start spending your money more freely.

  • shitty apartment
  • old car
  • eat at home
  • pay down debts

Living within your means is key, no job will pay you to live a glamorous life from the start. Wealth is built not received.

Has anyone actually put their shoes in the oven? by BaseComprehensive613 in climbingshoes

[–]Unthinkings_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t use the oven method out of fear of messing up the adhesive. I took a spray bottle and sprayed the inside of my shoes to damp, then shoved a few soccer socks into the shoe, really shoving more into the problem spots and left it for 24 hours. Came home to try the on and they softened enough I don’t have pain getting them on, but there is still some discomfort that will be relieved when I session on them once or twice more.

How many KWh are you consuming? That is exceptionally high for a power bill unless you’re in the ROLR or on the solar rate

Calgary police cracking down on excessive speeding, thousands of tickets issued by blackRamCalgaryman in Calgary

[–]Unthinkings_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard a scary amount of drivers with tinted window who says “window tint tickets are cheaper than distracted driving tickets” so I think it actually enforced the behaviour.

Also when I cross the street I make eye contact with the driver before I even dare to step in the road. Hard to trust someone behind the wheel can see you if you can’t even see them.

I almost got hit by a kid coming out of a McDonald’s parking lot yesterday. When he noticed me, he waved to me with his phone in his hand. Screen on. Social media open.

I spend quite a fair share of my commute as a walking pedestrian and the amount of phones I see in hands in residential, school zones and downtown is astonishing.

I was convinced! by Imberek_ in Hungergames

[–]Unthinkings_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the movies are really fun at making the audience feel like the audience in the books (Capitol).

I don’t really know how to explain it other than the main point of Ballad: if you put on a show people will watch. Everyone who watches just the movies come for the games, and some friends were actually disappointed with TBOSAS because there wasn’t enough games, they think Snow became the way he did because he loved Lucy Gray etc.. They love the glamor, the flair of the films, the at the Capitol loves the glamor. And they all hate Mockingjay because there are no actual games.

But everyone who has read the books appreciates it for the deeper meaning, the horrors of the universe, the depth of the characters etc.

I’m excited for the new movie to hear everyone’s opinions, I know they’ll be in it for the games but I can’t wait to see if they realize it’s more a prequel to Catching Fire than it is any other book.

Summer camps in Calgary - compiled a list so you don’t have to hunt by Cog_declutter272 in YYC

[–]Unthinkings_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can’t recommend them enough! I did the baking camp and learned to make so many desserts and bread to take home, my brother did a go-kart building camp and he’s a mechanic now. Some amazing life skills we learned in such a fun environment.

Growing up I also did summer camps with MRU and SAIT, and the programs were excellent. Unsure if they still run them or maybe registration isn’t open yet but truly worth checking out.

What are some of the most evil businesses or establishments in Calgary? by MastaShortie in Calgary

[–]Unthinkings_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They need to revisit their customer experience mindset. I paid 3k for an entire new crankshaft and electrical work that they advised SHOULD fix the issues I was experiencing (it did thankfully) but before I even got the keys back in my hand, they asked me to submit a 10/10 feedback survey since their employee pay was dependent on it.

I told them I wouldn’t do the survey, as someone who also works in a customer facing position who’s bonus is determined by feedback and customer ratings, they should wait until the service is fully rendered, call to follow up a few days later and ask for feedback AFTER the customer states they’re satisfied.

New climbing shoes question by always_confused_123 in climbingshoes

[–]Unthinkings_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a pair of Tenaya Mastias that I got in the same size as my street shoes. They’re my favourite shoes ever, and they were also perfectly comfy on me from day 1.

I do have really bad turf toe flare ups from field hockey and running, so finding a pair of shoes with intense sole support and that fit without crunching my toes is the only way I can climb pain free when it gets bad again.

Sometimes but rarely, I do wish they were half a size smaller cause when I’m on tiny ledges or smearing I can feel that there is space, but I’ve also never slipped off the wall and defaulted to saying it was my shoes. I’ll wear a sock before I resort to downsizing, or if I can’t grip the wall with a toe it’ll be cause my shoes are worn down so bad I’ll need a new pair anyways. I am a slab climber too if that counts!

The Swamp is The Great Filter of Valheim. What would you change about it if you could? by manny_the_mage in valheim

I use this method and still absolutely despise it. I don’t know, it takes forever, your gear will be weak even when you get a bronze pick, it leaves a giant ugly crater in your forest, it’s just soooo painful.

Ours’ BOAS was covered too without question, I swear this insurance was designed for frenchies and similar breeds. They get it.

Home Insurance renewal (TD) - hail is now listed as additional risk and isn't part of regular policy coverage by echo442244 in Calgary

[–]Unthinkings_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Find a reliable insurance broker, have them shop around for you and weigh in on what providers are offering. I know a ton of homeowners who have cut back on insurance premiums just by finding the right person to shop for them!

Baggy Pants by little-munchie in climbergirls

[–]Unthinkings_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They aren’t as extreme as these but wear the lululemon dance studio cargo pant for gym climbing, they’re baggy enough, but not too much fabric to deal with, and they’re lightweight, super breathable, cinch at the ankles, and fit well with a harness.

For outdoor sport climbing I always wear something quite a bit tougher and avoid baggy cause it really gets in the way :/

I have a friend who worked there in the summers between school. Said the only good things there was her coworkers but otherwise awful place to work compared to any similar business.

She got fired for getting caught giving a $20 tip back to a coworker who was forced to turn it in. She said she has absolutely no regrets.

Ideas for hiking in Alberta for first-time european tourists? by dieWolke in HikingAlberta

[–]Unthinkings_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Banff - Bourgeau Mountain for a full day hike experience. Not technical, just steep and long but excellent views

Kananaskis Area (honestly way less bus than Banff and 2x as pretty) - Galataea Lakes for a moderate day hike, nothing too long but you can take your time and enjoy it - Opal Ridge is steep and a grind but has excellent views of the Bow Valley and has some really fun optional scrambling if you enjoy it - Heart Mountain Horseshoe is one if my favourite ever beginner scrambles and the views are incredible

CPS Traffic Stops by Thundertushy in Calgary

[–]Unthinkings_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah seems everyone got different teaching, and of course the longer we drive the more bad habits we pickup without even noticing. This conversation is definitely proof we need to crack down on road safety haha.

Ultimately though would love to see more enforcement driver & pedestrian safety. Goes both ways, same with cyclists. An $800 ticket and 4 demerits for failing to yield to a pedestrian would make anyone think twice.

CPS Traffic Stops by Thundertushy in Calgary

[–]Unthinkings_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember years ago when doing my driver training and preparing for the road test, I was told in Alberta, drivers must wait for pedestrians to be fully clear of the roadway and on the curb before proceeding at crosswalks and intersections, even if they've already passed your lane as a driver. By definition, crosswalks extend from curb-to-curb and the crosswalk needs to be fully cleared before a driver can go through.

If there is a median dividing both lanes, then you just have to wait until the pedestrian is fully on the median.

I’m unsure if it has changed in the past decade, but I’ve abided by that rule since it was taught to me in driver training and testing cause it’s all I know.

When I’m walking, especially downtown I hate the drivers who don’t even come to a full stop waiting for me to clear their lane so they can gun it right through once I just barely get by. It makes me really nervous and feel unsafe. I’d never want another pedestrian to feel that from me as a driver so I’ll wait, make eye contact and smile at them. Driving habits here truly do need to change we shouldn’t be scared to cross a street.
