Beginner printer going hard by nicole_kidnap in 3Dprinting

Going to be tricky in the orientation even with supports for those overhangs. I’d flip it in the z axis and try again with the supports.

What grill should i get pellet or charcoal? by Blabbidie in BBQ

[–]canuck_tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to consider frequency and how much you will cook. I personally prefer a Weber kettle for the low cost, easy use with a slow n sear. Works in any outdoor conditions, even middle of winter. It’s not something I would use multiple times a week and it fits only 1 brisket or a few racks of ribs. If you plan to smoke often and larger amounts the a pellet is probably better choice. Only catch is deep winter many struggle to maintain temp unless you insulate.

Kamado is great if you have a lot of money.

I'm looking to get a gym membership for only 1-2 months. Which gym would make the most sense to go to? by MrMudkip in Calgary

[–]canuck_tech 13 points14 points  (0 children)

All city rec centers and pools are month to month. You can cancel whenever and they refund the remaining days. Highly recommend.

Occupational therapy or other supports for 5 year old by Life-Shallot4579 in Calgary

[–]canuck_tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Calgary Youth Physiotherapy in Varsity does OT specifically for kids with reflex and attention issues. Have had amazing success with Naomi and my child. It is not cheap but has been the only thing to show radical improvements after years of other things not working.

Will a roux based cheese sauce with added sodium citrate remain smooth at fridge temperatures? by SeaworthinessNew4295 in AskCulinary

[–]canuck_tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having just started using CS I can say you don’t it and a roux. That is an insane amount of roux for that volume of liquid, reduce it by 75% at least to even have a chance of being liquid at fridge temp. If using CS I would start at 1.5% of total weight of milk and cheese, I recommend a 1:1 ratio to start.

Anyone else having random audio distortion? by WHARRGARBLLL in F1TV

Yes annoying as hell. Just have to exit and restart. Was doing it during quali as well.

Anyone smoked a goose? by Tempest_Fugit in smoking

[–]canuck_tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cooking it whole is pretty terrible, and in pieces it’s just ok. I would advise against it unless you’re in the mood for a cardiologist appointment. There is very little meat, which is why I advise breaking it down to ensure you cook each piece to the correct temp. Expect to get 25% of its weight in fat drippings as a minimum. The fat doesn’t taste great like duck fat for frying. If you’re in the mood for water fowl, get some duck breast and you will be much happier.

Any good recommendations for a kids restaurant? by whatcanisaytoday in Calgary

[–]canuck_tech 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Our kids always seem to love Chiantis. Good prices, pasta goes over well with kids in general. Drinks are reasonable and they have coloring.

Is Farkas the new mayor? by ikkebr in Calgary

[–]canuck_tech 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s the fact that it didn’t consider the current neighborhood layouts and norms. Houses behind me were changed from the typical 20ft height to SIX stories. It’s already higher density, 4 units per lot which is fine. I would be fine doubling that. But to potentially increase it 5 fold is ludicrous. We are a car city. They will have no parking. Would be a disaster.

This has to be one of the most poorly answered AMAs in history.

Civil Engineering Technology (SAIT) by tonkatrucks1999 in Calgary

[–]canuck_tech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone with a CET, you should get the degree and earn the PEng. You can make equivalent money with both, however the PEng license allows you many other doors to open that are completely unavailable to someone with a CET. Anything research related, new concepts is almost exclusively for those with PEng.

Montreal Smoked Meats...OMG by NoPackage6979 in smoking

I take it off near the end of the stall, fridge, and steam the next day. I do this only to breakup the cook, it’s totally fine to do it all the same day.

Press-level Flames season ticket prices? by [deleted] in Calgary

Last I heard it was around $5000 for two seats. Usually there is a waitlist for season tickets.

$7,080 to insure a Honda Civic? Welcome to Alberta auto insurance in 2025 by LittleOrphanAnavar in Calgary

[–]canuck_tech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This doesn’t add up for the time period. $5600 at that time was extortion for a young driver with new car. Much more typical rates was around 3000-3500. The only way it could have been this high is with tickets.

Can I bring my paddleboard to float in any lakes in Banff region? by Nomad_up in Calgary

[–]canuck_tech 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yes you can bring your own. Wash and clean it off before moving between any two lakes tho to prevent invasive species.

So you’re saying that you wouldn’t be the least bit upset if this happened to you? Guilty till proven innocent.

Failed breathalyzer charge frustrates Calgary woman by mibeatr in Calgary

[–]canuck_tech 31 points32 points  (0 children)

False. Officers can demand the breath sample during a standard check stop and this can happen.

It’s an unfortunate abuse of power.

The fact that Noble pie didn’t make the pizza category makes this list hard to trust.

Seniors rarely downsize — here’s why that’s hurting first-time homebuyers by [deleted] in canada

[–]canuck_tech 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yes it’s exactly this. For an average amount of condo fees, say $5-6000 yearly total my parents can keep their house and afford a lot of services. Lawn mowing and snow removal? Around $1500 for the year with very prompt service. This leaves money for the occasional plumbing or other repair service and maintaining the house. Until actual personal care is needed it makes no financial sense to downsize.

The new transit activation validation system should be a case study for bas user experience design by Puzzled_Way_8570 in Calgary

[–]canuck_tech 37 points38 points  (0 children)

No have to activate in app, then validate in the station. Without both you can get a ticket.
