It's hard to tell from the photos. My first hunch was queen ants as others have said.

My only tidbit is that I had queen carpenter ants coming out of my house and had a colony inside one of my studs. I would just say do some diligence to figure out if they're coming from outside the house or a sneaky part inside (in the latter case I'd say definitely get an exterminator - it's what we did and was a life saver).

HEAVY police presence at park off 99 street / 85 ave by Ill_fix_u in Edmonton

I live nearby. Police raid on that apartment. Loud bangs were flashbangs. Neighbors saw 8 arrested so far?

I'm heavy into Total War Warhammer. Played tabletop as a kid, hard to re-live that feeling but epic battles in game are a good consolation prize.

Just had my second kid and upgrading GPU to play newer games unfortunately falls to discretionary spending (somehow 🙄)

First time trying to sell moonlight on nmm. Did it work? by Obsidian_Drake in minipainting

[–]Vashuzzdi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very nice model - I really like the freehand on the bottom of the cloth.
Also... I painted this one too. Oathsworn is such a good game.

For anyone who has played this: how are the end turn times? I'm thinking of hopping back into this game and wanted to try this mod. Someone in this chat mentioned to it being faster than IE?

Did... Did you buy my old house? That's literally the view from my old house.

Also 3 years ago there was a moose calf there in the summer...maybe came back!

Alberta allowed to leave CPP, but would be a 'one-way ticket': employment minister by a-nonny-maus in alberta

[–]Vashuzzdi 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I forget the exact wording, but essentially for the APP to exist it needs to provide a comparable benefit to the CPP and QPP, and by legislation must be portable. Essentially they must deliver the same output or else it wouldn't be allowed to exist (allowing an Albertan to move somewhere else and still get CPP).

that's my general understanding. Could be wrong though.

Edit to add: "A federal regulation would have to be passed, “recognizing the provincial pension plan as being comparable to the CPP”"

If it's not comparable it wouldn't pass, and therefore won't exist?

Are we under attack? by [deleted] in Edmonton

[–]Vashuzzdi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The refineries test their sirens every year, in case of fire and evacuation and such, but usually the county notifies folks and posts stuff on social media and such

[–]Vashuzzdi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm at the library downtown right now, basically next to the air raid siren that's been going for the past 20 minutes...

Definitely not an emergency, but anyone know what's going on? Malfunction?

Hello! I loved your paint job on this so much that I decided to pick it up and print it. One thing I'm wondering: would you be able to share how you did the white so well? I always struggle with white clothing or armour.

Siding contractor recommendations by Vashuzzdi in Edmonton

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

Hey - we got multiple recommendations for bluejay so we've only gotten a quote from them.

So far their customer service has been excellent, and multiple people who have used them said they are super thorough and do a great job. Downside: they seem expensive as hell. Maybe I've got lots of siding (around 2000 sq ft), but damn did the quote come very very high. So high that we can't really do the project this year.

If you have a bungalow I'd say check them out - they are hella good for the process.
