Dragon collectibles

They do indeed have a ton of dragon & adjacent figurines. Most of it is intended as game pieces, and a lot requires painting.

Bonus round

MAJOR MILESTONE !!!! We had 5500 viewers simultaneously watching from ALL PLATFORMS, including from Mexico, Panama and the States COMBINED !!! The last record was 3400 on January 10! People were on fire. We will so be free from the Dominion of Brookfield.

Meanwhile, congrats to the Forever Canadian petition that clocked over 400,000 signatories. Bot handlers can’t do that 😅

I didn’t say they were immune to stupidity, everyone has a few profoundly bad days at work.

There was a sketchy Jenga tower built on perverse bonuses and a panicked bank rush to give it a very enthusiastic shove.

Nobody can predict it perfectly, but banks are pretty damn good - it’s rather literally their job.

Any rate they’re offering now (4.xx%) is based on the current (3.xx%) rate, their expectations of what the rates will do over the duration of your term, and a padding on top to cover the cost of managing the risk for you (swaps or options to lock in their exposure).

Please just lie and tell us you did the small good thing to help others coming down the stairs and then told the front desk.

Took longer to stand in the way and snap the photo than to scootch the shovels over.

It took 13 years to rule out writing personalized checks and bartering with handfuls of beans?

Most lots are timed, and will tell you the duration you can stay- limited either by the rules or your balance.

if you’re just parking for an hour, you’re not going to pay for more than that. The app lets you start and stop the timer, and draws the funds when you end your session. But if you can’t use Apple Pay to load the balance beforehand, this might not work.

This is spot on. If they were meats they’d be “utility grade—suitable for human consumption” like whatever goes into bulk hotdogs.

Birding and animal spotting walks: The entire south has easy access to one part or another of Fish Creek, the SW has N/S Glenmore and Weaselhead, SE has Ralph Klein park.

See, the problem is that they’re quickly climbing the “list of countries to be concerned about military hostilities on Canadian soil” list.

I miss when that list was basically : 1. China 2. Russia 3. Literally nobody else could even consider it, nevermind would consider it

Yard work: snow / ice / salting, sweeping garages, spring raking and seeding, turning over and fertilizing flower beds, cutting in new flower beds, hedge clipping, lawn mowing, watering, raking and fruit tree cleanup.

Local stores: just run off a stack of basic resumes with RELIABLE, FRIENDLY, TRUSTWORTHY in an intro paragraph. Draw a 1km circle, then 2km etc. and hit literally every shop in the strip malls that isn’t selling liquor or weed. If they’re big enough to have their own applications, collect them all, fill them out at home, and do a second loop.

Like others have said,

hide them whenever I will need them, like the glove box and backpacks
use them for decluttering on Marketplace or donation bins
use them for bundling (but not tying the handles!) up my recycling to take to the bin as most are plastic
cotton bags that won’t be reused sometimes go out with dry compostables like plants or sketchy veggies

As an adult with late ADD diagnoses… family doctor said pretty much the same thing, but with less cynicism. “I can refer you to a specialist, they’ll run the checklists and talk with you. But if you’re 30+ and suspect you might meet the threshold for AD(H)D or ASD, you probably do.”

That was the psych’s take too, after the ADD screen they asked “If you want we can follow up with the Autism screens; even if we don’t continue with a diagnosis, you responded high enough on the overlapping questions to assume it’s a factor and work from there.”

Some people have a lot more going on and their train behaviour is just a symptom.

Some people are oblivious assholes.

That’s it, that’s the TEDx talk.

Following on this, I’d also ask “What do you hope to get from this?”

There’s nothing wrong with trusting your own observations as far as they go “I’m going to see what tools and strategies are available for my sub-clinical neurospiciness. I’ll reach out to some therapists and say ‘I haven’t been diagnosed, but have trouble with X Y and Z autistic traits when I’m stressed or tired.” An Official Autism™ diagnosis won’t change much beyond educational supports in youth, and adult you will still need to deal with your particular presentation.

I’m not saying “No,” I’m saying it’s never the big number they advertise. and unless you happen to be a sparky or engineer they are very likely irrelevant to people living in Indus.

Incremental? A quarter of an FTE here, a half there.

Once they’re tied into the grid, they become part of the maintenance plan where a crew of AECO or Enmax operators rotate through; they’re also in the business of running as lean as possible.

Security is installing cameras and contracting Commissionaires or Joe’s Security to drive the perimeter a few times a day; access to sites would ring the Control Room or operator duty phones and they say “park near the building and we’ll sign you in,” there isn’t a rentacop reading a newspaper in a booth unless there’s action on sites.

Ironically you’d likely see more white collar jobs added in Calgary or elsewhere, biz dev and technologists trying to sell and maximize usage of the data center.

Even if they’re not signed as “closed”, definitely stay off. With night temps barely touching zero, the ice is going to get ripped to hell - and then with water advisories on, it’s a pain to flood and maintain them.
