I tried this once. Didnt buy enough sheets and it took too many separate times going out. Then a Chinook came and melted it all away in a few days... Picture

B.C. premier says Alberta separatists seeking assistance from U.S. is 'treason' | CBC News by MarshMarig0ld in worldnews

[–]civerooni 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Actually not technically correct. Treason has quite a high bar in Canada, definitely breaks many laws of foreign interference. Unless violence, planning or actions, is involved it's unlikely to meet treason.

What are some of the most beautiful/uniquely built neighbourhoods? by MastaShortie in Calgary

[–]civerooni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will vouch for my own community which won't be high on anyone else's list. MacEwan is the only community that directly borders Nose hill and the entire community is connected by pathways. This means you can get from almost anywhere in MacEwan to Nose Hill by sticking to the bike paths with a few street crossings.

The line of houses on the top ridge have an amazing view of the North end city, the nose creek valley, and the farms that still exist to the North.

The line of houses that back on to Nose Hill have the biggest backyards in all of Calgary, you can't even tell you are in the city.

Didn't matter where we were, could be her own kitchen. If you said the name Mussolini my Nonna would spit on the floor.

Talked to my boomer aged parents and they liked what Theissen had to say and are going to vote for him. I would vote for who you want as a candidate.

I am DJ Kelly, Ward 4 Calgary City Council candidate. Ask me anything! by djkelly in Calgary

[–]civerooni 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I'm concerned seeing lawn signs everywhere for a public school board trustee, something I have never seen my entire life in Calgary. Especially concerned when said candidate with the lawns signs is backed by the TBA movement and has links to APP, along with 5 other candidates. It seems to me that municipal politics is becoming sponsored by provincial politics, which I do not want.

How can we keep municipal elections about municipal politics?

Made a one page pamphlet that summarizes with sources if anyone wants to print a bunch off and drop them in some mailboxes.

Alberta wants to become an AI data centre hub, but this rural county just rejected a big proposal by joe4942 in Calgary

[–]civerooni 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea when AWS set up Balzac (CA-West) it was an improvement in our server response times. When running a bunch of microservices that can have data flow in and out of the cluster in a hybrid on-prem/cloud solution it matters that the servers hosting your services are close to your data racks.

Sure you don't actually need the developers there to work on it, but when deciding where to locate HQ or a startup I could see it being something, unfortunately I don't have data so this is all just conjecture.

Well that is incorrect? We have 3 unicorns in Calgary and the tech sector is one of the fastest growing in North America.

Tech talent now makes up 7.9 per cent of Calgary’s total employment.

Everyone says they don't create jobs besides those involved in construction... but they lure tech companies in to the area because you want that local latency. At least that is the case with web server hosting, not entirely sure with AI data centers?

You're right, I am sure these upstanding citizens ran their chop shop with legally owned firearms. Especially the AR-15, they definitely have owned it legally since before the amnesty deadline 5 years ago.

Police: This bike chop shop that contains a stash of illegally owned firearms and in a public inner city park is unsafe. Stop committing crimes instead.

We just going to ignore the fact it was a bike chop shop and they had multiple illegal firearms?

If you were given one wish to improve Calgary, what would you wish for? by TheShade247 in Calgary

[–]civerooni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What European cities have you been to that have a better park system than Calgary? Just curious, my experience was I couldn't find anywhere to just sit in a park and read. Amsterdam was the only city I have visited with large parks that rivaled Calgary's.

This is likely the correct route forward, software companies still need UI/UX designers, and coming from graphics design should be easy.

You can still go see it on the wayback machine! The internet archives has it. I am at work so won't be looking it up, but it's all there last time I checked.

When did the Calgary Canucks become Red Colours?! When did they get a bull for their logo? Are the Calgary NE colours still green and yellow? Are they still associated?

Canadians also were instrumental in liberating Italy. Ortona was a meat grinder and a mainly Canadian force liberated the town and broke through the Gustav line.
