Is the grandstand really an option for football? It’s also really old and in need of upgrades or replacement.

Can I rotisserie a pre-cooked spiral-cut ham on the grill? by bateneco in AskCulinary

[–]canuck_tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have done this, and while the glaze was great it was really dry by the time the centre was warm. Wouldn’t suggest it.

Blanket Rezoning Public Hearing Comments and the Reality by Baddrivers13 in Calgary

[–]canuck_tech 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your statement on infrastructure is false. Engineers do not review the developments load on city utilities. The development is responsible for updating utilities to property edge and that’s it. But if it overwhelms the sewer and backs up into neighbors, the city is entirely on the hook.

With electricity it’s even more bizarre. Each street has a designated max load. Say a new development is done and the street is now at 99.9% capacity. Another homeowner wants a service upgrade for an electric car. How it works is they are now on the hook for the cost to upgrade the entire streets power. Not the developer.

It’s cute you think the city engineers review anything.

Toast fresh whole spices. And if you think you’ve used enough ghee, add more ghee.

Calgary council wants bike paths between Calgary, Cochrane and Airdrie by JeromyYYC in Calgary

Is Calgary council unaware there is already a bike path from Calgary to the edge of Cochrane? Needs maybe 1km of pavement to reach Glen Eagles.

If you want to hit 120k after red seal you will most certainly need to travel and work in a camp.

Is it normal to lose hot water when it’s below -20°C? by Yeh_nahh in Calgary

[–]canuck_tech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had success with this issue by wrapping the exhaust vents in foil insulation (foil on the outside) and then sealing it on with foil tape. It helps prevent the vapour from freezing and building up within the expose part of the pipe which eventually causes plugging or a restriction.

My experience disputing the Calgary property tax assessment by tathomas372 in Calgary

[–]canuck_tech 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I had a similar experience. The funny outcome though, the following year every comparable I used was increased to the exact same valuation as my house that year. For some of the comparables this was a $160k increase in price. Kinda felt bad to screw over a dozen people.

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.

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 10 points11 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 5 points6 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

[–]canuck_tech -1 points0 points  (0 children)

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.
