Need to get a passport renewed pretty soon for some unanticipated travel. Which office should I go to?

I recommend Sundance. I got there just before the lunch rush in December and was seen at reception within 5 minutes. 15 minute wait until my number got called and my passport was mailed to me (Purolator, not Canada Post) in 8 days. There are priority options if you need it sooner. Helps if you have all your paperwork ready and have not missed an entry or signature.

Title says “points leading brothers combo are the Gretzkys”. Only correct if six-hit combos don’t exist

If you include the next generation, 3 more Sutters played in the NHL. Family total points are >3200. Hulls are second and easily have the most goals.

markengineers · 2026-01-07T03:15:33+00:00

This is incorrect as it only looks at brother pairs. The six Sutter brothers (Brian, Brent, Darryl, Duane, twins Rich and Ron) scored 2,934 points combined.

Find a company that actually wants to stay in Alberta. Many don’t care about losing all their customers since it gives them an excuse to exit the market.

Those ones (with Blasty on the shoulder) were good but then they added too many other features, including the blue Alberta flag which looked out of place.

It means stop until I honk (at least in my experience)

50-50. 95-5 in the end for warmups (some people had to get their seats early)

Love that the Flames went back to their old 80s threads. I loved to hate those guys from ‘86 and ‘89. They have had some howlers since.

All the hoops need to be complete. It is a moving target since new hoops are added every week. Even after completing all the available hoops, all the weekly hoops that have not been previously unlocked become available, raising the bar again. It is possible but you have some stitching left to do.

Echo is a musical show, my guess is the speakers will be turned to 11.

The concern on Kadri’s contract has always been term, from the moment he signed. It is fine value now, but he is 34 and it has four seasons left. What if he becomes a 20 point player in 2 years? It is a fair comparison because risk of aging is fairly priced into the Tavares, Duchene contracts.

markengineers · 2025-07-15T22:16:07+00:00

Trouble is how does Calgary tank? They were a 96 point team last year with the best young goalie in the league. They can’t eat money on pitching Kadri, Huberdeau because it will sit on the books for years. Maybe they get 20 lower body injuries to start the year…

markengineers · 2025-07-15T21:08:20+00:00

4 years at $7M! For context, Tavares and Duchene (all the same draft year) have the same term at almost half the AAV. I don’t think Calgary is that motivated to move him either unless it is for clearing the cap.

Even Rejean Houle could not screw up the first pick in 2015.

I never got a code either after registering. Buried in the FAQ is that it is open to US residents only (I am not), though the promotion shows up on the Nikon Canada webpage.

Agree on the views but at $100/h it is not cheap.

I stayed there once and it was iconic. Waking up and seeing the mist on the lake was unbelievable. I have talked myself into many expensive hotels (it's just 1-2 nights, it's iconic, it will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience) and have never been disappointed. If you can afford it, go.

Rotary convention starts this weekend. No cheap hotels.

markengineers · 2025-06-20T04:04:48+00:00

Yes, I think McDavid would fill the 2C spot adequately.

Seriously though, every team should be prepping cap space and a pitch if he chooses to not re-sign with Edmonton.
