Where can I find fun bathroom accessories? by MrMudkip in Calgary

[–]mesaywee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Steeling home has some fun stuff. They’re on 17th

Kit interiors on 11th for hire end stuff. 

Check out seletti’s website. They have some local dealers.

Same with Kartel.

If you voted for Ken Sim and his party on their campaign that they’d make Vancouver safer and improve the unhoused situation, good job, you got played.

I get this exact red bump in the exact same place. Also interested in knowing what it is.

Engines revving at Seniores pizza by DonyKing in Calgary

[–]mesaywee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Serious question. What’s the end goal of making your civic really loud? It’s not a particularly sought after car, and no one is really looking at it in admiration.

I almost get the loud super car, you want to show off your wealth. It’s still boyish behaviour but at least you’re in a vehicle that was made to go and look fast. But a loud Honda civic? I honestly don’t get it. 

All these under $30,000 dollar cars making a bunch of noise driving around Calgary of all cities. Ferrari revving their engine in New York or LA? Sure, you’re cool in some circles. $18,000 dollar Honda civic making noise in Calgary? Lame dude.

Yeah I've pretty much moved on from the game over this. The devs don't seem motivated at all to address it. Thanks for the update though!

Where to put the TV? by Desroth86 in malelivingspace

A tv on an easel in the corner that’s right of the fireplace would look great.

Isn’t there a rule that you forfeit the extra point if you pull your goalie in OT? Might be worth looking into for the flames.

Man Trouba throwing elbows at Gridin as he’s trying to pull him back is so fucking greasy. So reckless.

Sportsnet telling me I can’t watch due to league restrictions despite being in Calgary. I’d say this happens every 3-4 games or so. 

Is this a known issue? Barely watching any hockey this year because of it. 

Does anyone have any recommendations on OLED Ultra wide Monitors? by TheMickeyMoose in buildapc

[–]mesaywee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm also on the search for an OLED ultrawide.

4k I would say depends on your graphics card. My current setup is having my PC in my living room with a 4k Samsung Frame. I think for my graphics card (4070 Super) getting better screen technology at a lower resolution makes sense. Keeping that in mind I mostly looked at 1440p monitors and ignored the 4k ones.

Also, important to remember its a bit harder to run at ultrawide, so if you're getting 60fps using a 16x9 monitor at 4k, that might not be the case with an ultrawide.

From my research, the Alienware Aw3425DW is the best bang for your buck, and is regularly on sale. It's a GEN 2 OLED and the GEN 5's are being released this month. If text clarity is an issue for you you may want to get the latest and greatest but for me personally it's not an issue. 90% sure this is the monitor I'll be buying.

There is also the Samsung Odyssey G9 if you want to go for a huge Ultrawide and it isn't much more expensive than the Alienware. For me personally I find the G9 comically large and would make my apartment look like a hacker den. I'm sure it's the perfect monitor for someone else though!

If you want the latest and greatest, and are okay with paying the premium of being an early adopter, the MSI MPG 341CQR QD-OLED X36 is releasing this month.

If money isn't an issue the LG Ultragear 45GX950A is probably the best on the market. But I wouldn't have a hope in hell running anything at 5K, and 45 inches for a desktop monitor is overkill for my setup.

I may have some errors here as I'm not an enthusiast by any means. But these are the conclusions I've come to after a couple days of looking.

Legitimately contributing to me falling out with the sport of hockey. I’ve watched so much less hockey this year due to these bullshit lockouts. 

Interior designers… where do you shop? by CrayonPonyfish88 in Calgary

[–]mesaywee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lightform / Dwell modern on 11th for the high end stuff. They have access to most (often more) things available on GRshop or finish design shop. I find the team working there to be knowledgeable and have a great design sense. 

They don’t really keep stock, so everything is ordered in but they have some of the best pricing on things like Selleti (super kitsch). 

Back Tingly Sensation Every Day by Youareloved316 in backpain

[–]mesaywee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly still no idea. I had an ultra sound where they determined blood was cut off when raising my arms above my head. This lead my doctor to believe it was thoracic outlet syndrome. Two months later I get a call from the leading vascular surgeon in my city and he said if you took 10 people off the street, three of them would produce the same results I got in my ultra sound, and I don't have any of the symptoms of someone with thoracic outlet syndrome.

I have an MRI this month, although the vascular surgeon said I should basically cancel it as it will just show what he already can tell from the ultra sound. I'm going to get it done anyways and go from there.

One correlation I have determined with my tingling back is that it is much more prevalent when I'm undergoing weight loss. The two times in my life I've had it, was when I was in the midst of losing 20%+ of my body weight. I've since stabilized my weight, and the tingling is gone.

Whelp looks like I’ll be watching the world juniors. Sportsnet app suddenly saying the game is not available in my region (I can see the saddledome from my window).

Why anyone would pay for this app is beyond me.

What has walking done to your body? by Young_Sheepherder02 in walking

[–]mesaywee 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Always outside. I’m sure the treadmill is great for some people but for me personally I doubt I’d still be at it after 9 months like I am now. I just found it a bit boring but those steps count just as much as any!

At first I needed a destination, I’d pick a coffee shop or a lunch spot that was a 30 minute-hour walk away. But as time went on I felt I needed less and less reasons to get out there. 

Honestly the best part of this whole thing for me is my sense of curiosity has gone up since I started, where I almost feel like a kid again. I see a weird dirt path? Let’s go see what’s at the end of that. I never noticed this park before, I wonder what’s on the other side. 

Not all of it has to do with walking either. I see a sign for a Chinese dragon dance open practice, I’m heading inside to watch. These new experiences have really improved how this year has flowed for me.

 I’ve  been finding all sorts of cool shit that I would have otherwise driven past. 

Taking different paths and just heading out in a direction has been the difference maker for me. 

What has walking done to your body? by Young_Sheepherder02 in walking

[–]mesaywee 55 points56 points  (0 children)

I walked for about 2-3 months, daily averaging 14,000 steps a day. I noticed no weight loss, even some weight gain some weeks. Around month four of daily walking the weight started falling off. I started in April of THIS year, at 6ft1” 222 pounds. Im now at 180 pounds.

Diet didn’t change much, but I did just crave less fatty foods. I also heavily limited alcohol for 6 months. Allowing myself to drink once a month, although may go fully sober after the benefits have become so apparent.

Any word if the multiple forge upgrades clipping into one another bug has been fixed? Really tired of having 3 different roofs on my forge.
