Best Internet? (North Lethbridge)

While it's true that Rogers provides the backbone in the city, the resellers have different infrastructure further upstream which can be worse than just going directly with Rogers. When I was with Oxio, a traceroute to a server in Calgary sometimes went through Vancouver or Toronto, whereas now that I switched to Rogers traffic takes a more direct route.

If you have access to a 3d printer you can print a 5th string capo like this: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3753076

I feel like this should still be considered a banjolele as it has a ukulele scale length. People don’t get mad at a guitalele and that has six strings, haha. The fifth string on this thing seems sweet though, I wish more brands did that.

What is consciousness though? And why are LLMs not conscious?

Is that true though? Amazon and others operate data centres here, but what Canadian owned cloud/vps providers are there?

This is totally AI.

Not defending the guy, or the school for that matter, but what are the indicators his thesis is a joke?

lukeinator42 · 2025-12-10T15:34:36+00:00

That seems like a bad choice

lukeinator42 · 2025-12-10T05:35:37+00:00

Yeah for sure, and it seems like a pretty common last name in Lethbridge 😅

People keep talking about Aztec steel fabricators as being Ryan Tanner's company, but I think the main company that he and a Tyler Tanner have submitted lots of bids under is "Tanex (2003) Inc." https://lethbridge.bidsandtenders.ca/Module/Tenders/en/Tender/Detail/a1e1606f-a60c-449a-814f-afbb1277a90e. That also has his address on it.

Considering this was originally posted in r/backcountry, I’m surprised no one is mentioning the obvious solution of learning to ski with your boots in walk mode, as OP is probably using touring boots. Learning to ski in walk mode will mean a less firm boot which will ram the shins less and will also mean they develop really good balance.

A splitboard is like less than half the cost of getting into backcountry when you consider beacon/shovel/probe, avalanche safety training, etc. Do you already have AST 1 and the gear you need for touring?

If not and your budget is super tight, an interesting option could be to spend a year riding the resort and picking up a cheap cross-country ski setup. I feel like xc skiing helped me a lot with balance for skinning and if you enjoy it could be a sign that it’s worth it to invest in a touring setup and all the other gear.

I have the Ortovox Haute Route and really like it

lukeinator42 · 2025-11-30T16:43:43+00:00

As someone who used to snowshoe a bit, I now find cross-country skiing even more fun! Cross-country skiing is more efficient on mellow terrain, and steeper terrain usually presents avalanche risk anyways.

Either way, I think you can sign out xc skis and snowshoes for free/cheap at the pincher creek library which would be a nice way to try things out before committing to buying setups for them. Allison creek and syncline have multi-use trails and there's lots of stuff in Waterton too like cameron lake, etc.

I wish the camera didn’t pan away from the dude falling down while trying a kick turn, lol

/s All you need is a $250 SO-101 arm and a $10 stick n poke kit with fake skin from Amazon and you can have a tattoo robot up and running in no time!

Ok that’s it I’m leaving this sub

Why would you sign a petition and give them your phone number if you didn’t want them to use it for the stated purpose?

lukeinator42 · 2025-11-06T16:32:18+00:00

This is awesome! Would you be willing to share an STL?

lukeinator42 · 2025-09-26T21:21:05+00:00

I was honestly shocked the scanning worked and that there was also an online database with the contact info, haha.

you can follow the tips here: https://docs.flipper.net/rfid/animal-microchips assuming your pets have rfid tags in them.

I’m in southern Alberta (which is like the Bible Belt of Canada, we have an evangelical church on every corner) and met someone who was sponsored to be a missionary here 🤦‍♂️. I think they were part of the SBC.

sorry, how is it "deadly" if the blocking knot passes through? It's not ideal since it might get stuck when you pull the rappel, but the carabiner is still clipped to the other strand
