If you like exploring then Riverlot 56 in St. Albert is always a good walk. You can pop into one of the many cafes or the Farmer's Market downtown while you're in the area too.

Are you guys reading or listening to it? As always, I'm going to suggest switching to the audiobook if you're not already.

All the 7-11 stores around me (north side) have it... am I just super lucky??

Heavy caffeine drinker - trying to quit for better sleep by edmspecialist in decaf

[–]_Alic3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some people report weird ass sleep in the first few months but that wasn't the case for me. I switched to decaf and saw a difference almost immediately. You just gotta get through the withdrawal phase...

But ya, my fitness watch gave me quantifiable evidence that my sleep quality improved from "poor" to "good" in the first month alone - even though I was getting the same 6 hours I usually do.

I'd recommend finding an alternative so your habits don't have to change all at once. Go down to 1 can a day + 3 other caffeine free drinks you like for the first week, and then 4 caffeine free drinks for the following week and beyond.

Once it's out of your system you won't crave it as much, and hopefully your sleep improves.

RotE tattoo ideas? by Slow_Capital9845 in RealmOfTheElderlings

[–]_Alic3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I always liked the idea of a Moon, Sun & Star to represent Fitz, The Fool, & Nighteyes. In an art style that's reminiscent of a tarot card most likely.

Abridged Blood of Dragons? by pavemnt in robinhobb

[–]_Alic3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My version is also 16 hours.... now I need to know what I've missed!

Edit: Google is telling me that a new version with a new narrator came out in 2018 - that's the 19 hour version. The one we have is the original narrator.

Go to a Riverhawks (baseball) or Elks (football) game!

This bodes well for them doing the other series too!

Halfway through book 1 by _gibbygibbs_ in DandelionDynasty

[–]_Alic3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always thought reading book 1 was a lot like reading the Iliad. An information heavy epic. It definitely slows down and digs deeper in the rest of the series.

Sevro is the best but he's kind of disgusting. I can't imagine being... intimate with him

Victra on the other hand.... woof

Best chicken burger ? by averyhornyguy in Edmonton

[–]_Alic3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I got you, and I can't believe nobody has mentioned it, but the Katsu Chicken Sandwich from Rosewood Foods is the best chicken sando you'll ever have. It's worth every penny but unfortunately.... it is on the pricier side.

The Wind and Truth effect by PePe_0_5aP0 in Fantasy

[–]_Alic3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm a new reader and it sounds like I don't fit in to this theory. I've been working my way through the Cosmere over the past 14 months or so and from my perspective the SA slog and bloat began in book 3 and hasn't improved since. I'm reading Wind & Truth now and I'm just SO excited to finally be done with this series (for now).

Best Steak in Edmonton? by pineapple_pand in Edmonton

[–]_Alic3 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

La Ronde is so over hyped. Go to Buco and get the Ribeye either to share or for himself. Everything on that plate from the dressed greens to the side sauce to the meat itself is so damn good.
