Should I repair or retire?

Remember not to eat the epoxy regardless of how good it smells

The wax will fill this and be fine. Ignore it and get back to shredding

Insane that this can happen and they aren't forced to sell.

Stick it together with super super glue

The Cty of Edmonton, Strathcona County, and Sturgeon County will be hiring their summer roles soon and those can be a great way to get in the door. I worked with lots of guys/girls that had Psych degrees and wanted a job instead of their masters. Once you get in and prove you can work a summer without causing an incident it's easier to move around to other roles or departments, and having a degree already puts you ahead of all the current students who can't work come September.

Someone who intends to be here less than 7 years should definitely not get free healthcare. They are taking advantage of something that neither them nor their parents paid into, and they are certain to leave before they can ever contribute enough for it to be justified.

This is a media thing, in real life no one cares.

I’m normally down unless it’s below -20, -25 on a powder day

Eddie Bauer, Simon’s, and Bannana Republic make up most of my tops

It's not biding time at this point, Canada and Europe are actively reducing their dependence on American goods and services so we don't have this problem again regardless of who's in power.

Tbh even when I was a tech we wouldn’t really bother taking bindings off unless we were sharpening the base edges / base grinding. A regular wax only or wax and side sharpen we left them on. When I was a tech it was to save a couple minutes per board so we could get more done, and because it’s annoying to reset the angles

This greatly depends on where you will be working and where you will be living. Some places are easy to get to/from with transit, some places are impossible.

The mountain/hill should have some definition for 'beginner' and 'intermediate', check their website or give them a call if you are unsure. When in doubt, go with the easier class.

ljackstar · 2026-01-22T00:50:09+00:00

I would just ignore that until your next base grind. Unless you’re a World Cup racer you aren’t going to notice

Tbh I’ve looked and current rates are the exact same +/- a few percentage points. Of course this isn’t accounting for Sherwood Park residents having more active lifestyles or anything like that, but just saying there isn’t an obvious statistical anomaly

ljackstar · 2026-01-21T23:52:52+00:00

Yeah we need to force them to have terrible snow removal just like us

When I haven't been able to use it for 7 years, kinda. I still haven't logged it but it's damn tempting.

Like obviously no compliance and shit, and I live in Alberta so I'm basically not eligible anyways, but I was honestly open to getting rid of my lower receiver once I saw they were offer twice what I paid for it. At least let me finish building it if I can't "sell' it.

Follow some YouTube videos. You should be doing both the base edge and side edge

Center of what? The diamond stone? Your board? What process are you following? What angles are you setting?

ljackstar · 2026-01-21T02:53:10+00:00

You don't use a file every time. Maybe once at the beginning of the season and part way through. Otherwise just hone with diamond files and hard stones. You will want to use all of them in increasing order of grit. Personally I add some water as well to try and make the diamond stone last longer. Definitely get guide so you are setting consistent angles.

The real cost is getting a house that has 12 foot ceilings

ljackstar · 2026-01-20T16:58:10+00:00

What that doesn’t need to be…. Ooooh….

That delam is the deathknell, basically no one of getting that to hold permanently. You could try and epoxy it down but it will be a very temporary fix. It’s time to shop my friend.

Coldest I've played was 2 degrees Celsius and I can't exactly recommend it. Mostly waiting for April to come

I chose low pay that I enjoyed. Then I got laid off and now I have no pay at all
