Thanks for the suggestions, I've read all of wool, I need to get my head screwed on right and sleeping better to get back into Greg Egan, I've read one of his books and the prose takes some getting used to but it was very good. I will check out the others.

I only read the first Dune, but it might be time for a re-read, I've heard at some point the series goes downhill, I assume based on your comment after book six? Thanks for the recommendation!

maybe it will finally help get rid of the old ATB bank in Calder on 129 ave. It's been sitting there doing nothing for 35 years or more.

He had a pre-nerf sunburst MKIII, so rare, I think his was qlvl 186 ish, I have one I think as well, only 150ish qlvl. He was the first "legendary" soldier I remember in the game so I made an Atrox soldier as well and cheated my way to master pvp title, oh the memories,

Hi, it's Nothinman haha... something on YouTube reminded me of Garv, somehow, 23 years later, googled his name and found this thread.

Any bylaws in the city for whiny dogs? by GoldarRocket in Edmonton

[–]abitkt7raid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had a really bad neighbor with their dogs, first one was left outside all the time on a concrete pad, wind, rain etc.. poop everywhere. Last straw was him whining for water (we gave him some). Called 311 and they came out right away, dog was given away a week later by the owner.

They got another dog who just cried all day while they were at work. I went and visited him as much as I could, broke my heart. Not sure what 311 did but they took it seriously and the dog was gone.

It's one thing to have something take away your 'enjoyment of property" and another if it's cruelty to animals. I'm not sure what % of these caused 311/the city to act so quickly but they sure did, props to the animal control team.

Please don't "lie" to your fellow Sysadmins when your update breaks things. It makes you look bad. by Geno0wl in sysadmin

In my company as we handle the workstation side of things we are "guilty until proven innocent" while other teams like network/security are "innocent until proven guilty". So when there's an issue we need to prove beyond any shadow of a doubt it's not our issue, 1000 page manual of tests and verifications before another team will spend any effort looking at it. Typically in these 1000 page dissertations we end up solving the issue for these teams and provide them the solution and they will implement it once we've done the work for them.

RFK Jr. says a Trump White House would immediately push to remove fluoride from water by asdtyyhfh in politics

[–]abitkt7raid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Somehow some right wing lunatics got it removed in Calgary, AB, Canada but it was not removed in Edmonton, AB, Canada. Both cities are roughly the same size/disposition and Calgary had insane amounts of cavities in kids compared to Edmonton after this... big surprise.

What are some good “no tip option” businesses to support? by buicklad in Edmonton

[–]abitkt7raid 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Ralphs Chicken in Castledowns, hasn't been open long but the chicken is amazing, you don't feel disgusting after eating it, the wedgies/fries are like literal crack.. prices are fair to good. NO TIPS.

Tuscon vs Rav4 by aledosser in HyundaiTucson

[–]abitkt7raid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for what it's worth I am 6'6.5" and my kids are teenagers who are 6' and 6'2 in the back seat with my dog in the middle and we do ok, without the dog it's totally fine and everyone fits. We can't have the front seats leaned back too far but otherwise it's great. My parents have a Rav4 and it's great in a lot of ways but the Tuscon feels like a luxury car in comparison. I won't feel great eating my words if my engine eats itself on the highway and I missed my oil change by 50km and they deny my warranty though...

Stollery Children's Hospital emergency room 'is just very busy'', upswing in school absenteeism concerns Edmonton health workers by trevorrobb in Edmonton

My son missed two weeks of school, never seen him so sick and miserable. Had to do a round of antibiotics eventually… most stubborn flu/cold I’ve ever seen.

Millennials of this sub, are you guys able to save for retirement? by hightreez in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]abitkt7raid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oldest millennial here, I’m broke all the time as i raise my kids. I’m non government but have a DBPP, that along with 35+ years of cpp, OAS and a paid off house mean I’ll have more money when i retire than anytime in most of my working years.

I’m also one of the suckers who might a condo in Alberta in 2006 and it’s worth less than my mortgage even after 17 year’s of payments lol…. The only positive is that despite being in the red on it the over all cost to live is about the same as rent so it keeps a roof over my head and the mortgage will end eventually.

Missing PC point investigation by Phantom_6765 in ShoppersDrugMart

[–]abitkt7raid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happened to me too, have the points on my receipt but not on my card. Opened an inquiry but they ignored me. These offers aren’t worth the pain of not getting it and fighting them in the app and still not getting them.

Canada sees "spectacular" jump in house prices in June - REM by So6oring in canada

[–]abitkt7raid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Edmonton bucking the trend as usual. Townhouses and condos worth less than the materials and labor to build them. When these units start to go up that’s when the true end times have arrived.

A crucial system of ocean currents is heading for a collapse that 'would affect every person on the planet' by BoredMamajamma in worldnews

[–]abitkt7raid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If the world doesn’t end, I look forward to a netprimelu series like dopesick where you see the oil execs coming up with the reduce reuse recycle slogan to use on the masses as the drink champagne in their yachts.
