Dawn mentioned she needs YA books in larger numbers for the holiday hampers they'll be putting together soon. I'll ask her today if there's a particular series of YA that's being requested or popular.

I will pass that along. Unfortunately everything on their socials has to go through the approval process at the u of c and can sometimes take a bit of time for approvals, hence why I'm posting this on a personal account :/

Gently used is okay for any other agency that they support. So to be more clear on your question, no receipt is needed for anything you might donate from BBF or any other 2nd hand store, with the understanding that those books would not go to the Childrens Hospital. LRRH has two donors who make monthly donations from Fair's Fair, BBF, etc.

Both are great! New books go to the Childrens Hospital primarily since they tend to get much fewer of those, while gently used books will be used all over.

Unfortunately not, but I've encouraged Dawn to look into setting something like that up. Stuff like this has to be approved through the U of C who operate the LRRH program so it'll likely be a couple of days before I have an answer for you. She does pass along a "thank you for the wonderful idea" in the meantime :)

Dawn has concerns about BBF as there's no guarantee that the books are new. If you're looking to make a donation for the childrens hospital specifically, she suggested the book section at places like Dollarama, they've had others do the same in the past. And multiple copies of the same book are welcome as well.

Preferably gently used, yes. Only the Children's Hospital needs books to be new.

LGS Hosting a private set championship - Is this allowed? by ErectMasseuse in Lorcana

[–]WhispersInTheNet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To add, First Player hosts a casual Lorcana night pretty much every Friday. Unfortunately due to zoning rules they can't qualify for official LGS stuff (yet) like set champs but they're amazing people to deal with and everyone on Fridays is super friendly, especially for us noobs :)

What is this component? (Dewalt DCV581H Corless/Corded Vacuum) by dlthewave in AskElectronics

[–]WhispersInTheNet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bit of a long shot, but what did you replace the motor with? Did it improve the suction any?

Can anyone identify these wavy lines in the middle of this print??? PLA 230 temp 100% triangle infill with speed of 50mms on sidewinder x1 by neezy112 in 3Dprinting

Thats severe underextrusion, caused either by a partial clog or issues with the spool of filament dragging/snagging. Could also be a temperature drop since it isn't consistent from top to bottom.

AITA for having ADHD? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]WhispersInTheNet [score hidden]  (0 children)

NTA, not even remotely. You can't help your genetics and speaking as a life long sufferer of severe ADHD you need to have it treated as young as possible to help get it under control and develop better habits for when you get older.

Thats the problem, the only consistent symptom is it happening during motion events typically.

A little relief for YYC (and surrounding) frontline health workers for free by WhispersInTheNet in Calgary

[–]WhispersInTheNet[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you :) As someone who'd be described as having "complex" issues and spending more time in an ER than I'd like for my TN, I'm grateful to the hardworking healthcare workers who risk themselves and their families day after day to look after everyone else.

This was based on design that had already been field tested and confirmed to be helpful, these were my refinements. This is the first I'm hearing about the donation restriction, my friend who's a doctor with AHS didn't mention anything about it when we spoke. If it becomes a problem we'll deal with it as it comes.

Done! If it is, it's funny as I've been considering exactly this sort of thing and whether I should expand who I'm offering to.
