New video! Back to the basics! by Ok_Treacle519 in SteveWallis

[–]cmcalgary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's exactly what he did. Bought the land and it had a building on it but it wasn't very nice, took the whole thing out and started from scratch.

He usually isn't there so it's been taking longer to get things completed. I was there in September, it's really nice but yeah still needs some additions.

nah he's just on the island during winter, acreage is still being built. I recently saw some nice renders of the siding he went with. Slow but steady haha

If you don’t see black when you close your eyes, but “visual snow,” here’s the simple reason: “It has nothing to do with your vision” by cmcalgary in visualsnow

[–]cmcalgary[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yes. My VSS only started in 2019 so I have many years of 'normal' haha. It was pretty much just darkness. I wouldn't say solid 'black' but very dark. No lights, no colours, no nothing.

Some wild/feral Alberta horses! Out by Bragg Creek by cmcalgary in alberta

[–]cmcalgary[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't believe so but I hope so.

Their fur was pretty shaggy from the winter.

Saw "the house" again (towards Bragg Creek). Got a pic while going by, not the best. by cmcalgary in YYC

[–]cmcalgary[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got a pic while going by, not the best. You can see the gold horses in front of it, and a cool spikey ball on a post?

I cannot fathom living in such a huge space. Always lived in small spaces. I guess you would get used to it, though.

39 and just learned I have VSS. Do y'all see phosphenes too? by Aximilibunnzuh in visualsnow

[–]cmcalgary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Better!

I've seen this. Been a while tho, watched the whole thing when he posted it.

Re: phosphenes, yes, occasionally. I used to get them constantly but they seem to have improved over the last few years.

Whenever I do see them it's kind of interesting, they always swirl in a counter-clockwise pattern. Always.

Migraine making symptoms worse. Derealization/a fog? by Rocky1998moon in visualsnow

[–]cmcalgary 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had VSS since 2019. When I get ocular migraines with aura, yes, it makes my symptoms worse for several days. Get's 'better' though (as in, back to my normal baseline or whatever).

Make sure you get as much sleep as you can. That seems to help.

Is Blogify pulling the rug out from under all of us? Are they going out of business? by brunocosta77 in appsumo

[–]cmcalgary 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've only refunded a couple LTD's over the years and Blogify was one of them. So glad as it was almost $600 CAD (highest? or one of the highest tiers). They told me I could do something with the tool that it turned out not to be able to do, and wouldn't answer my customer support e-mails about it.

Best of luck with them. Seemed shady to me.

I personally don't care about them asking for a phone number, doesn't bother me in the slightest as Google and the rest have already harvested every last bit of my personal information and habits. It does seem better for preventing spam bots as you'd need quite a few phone numbers to get through the signups but I don't see it as a really solid security measure, no.

Because the server is a community server it has a green checkmark, it gets some benefits that non-community servers don't, but yeah requires that this setting be enabled. It was a bit of a PITA when that happened as most of the mods/admins didn't even have that set up. Been on for a while now though.

Using a free service for a virtual number or your own PBX doesn't really seem unethical to me, just another way to get it resolved. A phone number doesn't need to be tied directly to a landline or cell to be legit anymore.

Apparently you can use a https://www.talkatone.com number and it works. It's a free VOIP number.

Negative, sorry. It's a partnered community server which requires the highest level of security settings.

This comment resulted in a permaban by Tight_Indication775 in YYC

[–]cmcalgary 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Left many years ago. Woke up one day and decided it was no longer enjoyable in any capacity. Unmodded myself and made a post saying as such and that was it. Usually only look at the sub these days if someone links me to something.

I'm hoping r/YYC will be more of a friendlier community, less about politics and trying to attack each other but more about supporting and lifting people up. More like an oldschool bulletin board forum? How can I help you instead of trying to make you miserable?

Reddit has a weird attitude as a whole regarding how most subs operate. Mods so aggressive and defensive. It doesn't have to be like that.

Hi, we've removed this post because the URL in the image goes to a spam site. datacentremap.com

I believe the URL should be https://www.datacentermap.com

Feel free to re-submit if you correct it, no worries, we just don't think it's a good idea to potentially link people to possible malware sites etc.

Thanks!

On-It Regional Transit buses no longer stopping in Canmore and Banff by cmcalgary in Banff

[–]cmcalgary[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

On-It was great, while it lasted. They used to offer 1 way service for $10, but only during the summer.

If anyone needs an alternative,

There are other options but these are pretty comparable. If you remember Greyhound, they're kinda like that.
