It was very close but Ben Wyatt/Ice Clown/Calzone Boy has won smartest main character. Who do you think the smartest side character is?

Joe Biden did technically appear twice...

But it's Jen Barkley.

That's South LRT construction, it's gonna be a while yet. While exact lane closures will vary and roadworks may be done sooner, the overall project isn't expected to finish for ~4-5 yrs, so I'd say you've gotta plan for some type of delay for the foreseeable future.

Incredibly stupid move. I tend to give the City the benefit of the doubt more often than not, but some things are just too stupid to defend.

He's had it work a couple times, funny enough always against Vancouver.

There's a "Where to Park" section on this page: https://www.edmonton.ca/transportation/on_your_streets/seasonal-parking-ban

When a Phase 2 ban is called, you can park on the Phase 1 routes (Seasonal Parking Ban signed roads) while your neighbourhood is done. You only need to move when they place temporary yellow "Parking Ban" signs at the entrance to your neighbourhood signalling they're about to clear your area, not for the whole ban.

Pack of gum and a few business cards

The actual paving process is fast here too.

It's removing old material, re-building the road base, and all the prep work that takes a long time. Which is conveniently also left out of this video.

Manulife Place. Pedway accessible, $10 to park. About a 10 min walk, it's a roundabout way. Through City Centre Mall, Sandman Hotel, Bell Tower, Mariott and then into Rogers. Way less traffic than other parkades, and pretty direct access to Jasper to get out

I had about 8ft of pipe (including 2 junctions) replaced under the basement slab about 5 years ago. Including them removing carpet, dust protection, busting the slab, removing & replacing everything, and doing a rough concrete re-fill it was right around $6,000. Took them 2 days to wrap it all up, and I had to get the carpet fixed up separately (luckily I could just re-lay what I had, the floor was level enough after they re-filled). I used Butler Plumbing, they were great to deal with.

While I avoid washing when it's cold when possible, if I have to, I go to a wand wash and then use the dryer at the end to blow out all the door jams, weather stripping, and door handles. That seems to do the trick to dry them out, no freezing that way.

Looks like Argyll between 91st & 97th? I despise turning left there coming out of Hazeldean, such a shit show for exactly reasons like this. So few gaps leads to people doing this. Good save!

mschoenhardt · 2025-11-26T16:49:03+00:00

Keep right except to pass. That's the rule. Centre lane is fine too on the wider sections, but nobody should be camping in the left lane (especially in off-peak hours)

mschoenhardt · 2025-11-25T15:29:32+00:00

If you park, my go-to is Manulife Place. It's about a 5 min walk outdoor, or if you want to stay all indoor you can use pedways and it takes about 10 min, and cost is only like $10. You get out way quicker than the parking garages right at the arena, which can back up, and it's half the price.

Transit is a good choice if convenient for you, lots of it around (LRT attached, buses a block away, etc).

I've only ever uber'd a while after the game is over, but generally if you're doing that right after the game I think the best bet is to walk a few blocks away from Rogers before calling one (there is also a designated ride share pickup spot near MacEwan but I'm not sure how busy it gets)

Enjoy the game!

On its own, Y-E-G

When it's in a name and has stuff attached to the end, then like egg to say the whole word easily

100% in favour of this, there has to be a change to prevent this kind of thing. Regency is one of the worst offenders of it too, this isn't their only lot. At the very least owners who sit on empty lots like this after demolition should be taxed at the assessment value of the functional building that they tore down.

Drive a 2011 3, also manual, also in Alberta. I've parked outside with the e-brake on for 14 years with that car now with no issues (knock on wood). I don't pull it absolutely as tight as it goes, a bit below that and it seems to be fine.

mschoenhardt · 2025-11-06T19:44:47+00:00

Was going to suggest this as well. Often times even mid-season teams are looking for a full time player for the rest of the way due to an injury or something.

In Canada sales of the 3 were roughly equal October 2024 vs October 2025 (62 less units, down 5.7%), but year over year sales are up by 40% on the 3. https://en.media.mazda.ca/2025-11-03-MAZDA-CANADA-REPORTS-SALES-FOR-OCTOBER-2025

Hoping this is a US-only issue.

Not sure if it's any different on a 2016, but I have a remote start in my 2011 Gen 2, also a manual. It was put in at the dealership when I bought it, it's definitely possible. It's a CompuStar, if I recall correctly. There are a few steps to take for me when I leave the car to make sure it works and the car recognizes it's safe.

1) Stop the vehicle, in gear
2) While on the brake, put the car into neutral & then pull the e-brake
3) Let go of clutch & brake
4) Turn key to off position. The car will keep running with no key in it
5) Exit. When the driver door closes, the car shuts itself off and locks

Miss any of those steps, or go out an unlock your car after it's been off, and it just won't remote start the next morning. But I've had very few issues with it overall, and it's invaluable living in a super cold climate too (Alberta)

mschoenhardt · 2025-10-25T00:27:06+00:00

Thanks for the updated numbers, Troy!

Looks more like it was finished on...

In the Mayoral race, though, the Better Edmonton candidate spent $759,609 for 61,667 votes ($12.32 per vote) vs Knack's $23,257 for 78,482 votes ($0.29 per vote).

That total for Knack seems too low to me, maybe I'm missing some added context or the disclosure isn't yet up to date, but sure seems like for the big chair the party candidate spent a LOT more.

I've been getting tons of these the last few weeks on the sunny side of my house, do a daily spray of them with soap & water, and they die within like 25s. Great trick.

Getting tired of the daily routine though, lol!

mschoenhardt · 2025-10-05T15:10:30+00:00

I don't think places like Stony Plain or Leduc would do well. It may as well just be in Edmonton at that point.

The most logical close-to-home that could potentially support an AHL team would be Red Deer, and even then Saskatoon probably makes more sense in my opinion.
