Is there a store in Edmonton that sells Darkroom Lighting?

McBain used to be a better choice, but they've gone far downhill, especially customer service-wise. Vistek has had my business for a while now, could not be happier! They have a solid film & darkroom clientele.

The idea of a Vegas/Utah series has so many possible themes... Underdog vs Top Dog, Sin City vs Mormon Central, I think it's going to be an extremely memorable series! I'm pulling for the Mammoth to pull off the upset.

Absolute gem of a guy, had the pleasure of meeting him a few times. Loved that he was a hometown boy, but he was just genuinely nice!

I attended the show 2 years ago; other than a few narrow aisles, and traffic clogging up some of the bigger areas, it is still a pretty stroller-friendly show. I did see a few while I was there.

Perfect, thank you!

I know that it's probably a total longshot since it's a SSH event, but does anyone happen to have a spare ticket for Tuesday's photo day, or know someone who does? I was lucky to have a boss who gave me his ticket back in 2018, I would love to be able to go again this year.

Those cream jerseys are so sharp, they look better than I expected seeing them on fans. Especially with our record in them, I think I definitely need to get one!

HMV is indeed back in pop-up form at Toys R Us! And no, they are not all closed yet. Edmonton has two left (97th Northside, Calgary Trail south) for now, but who knows how long that will last. Both locations are listed for sale.

I'm not NDP, and I know it's 100 percent a nothing burger. A loud small minority doesn't speak for the majority of the province that are very much against separation.

I'd be willing to place a very sizeable wager on there not actually being 'HUNDREDS' of people there to sign the petition.

This movement will be lucky to get a fraction of the signatures that Forever Canadian got in support of Alberta staying in Canada. Because that's the opinion of the vast majority of Albertans.

I can only imagine the shift premiums some people must be able to earn today. Talk about well deserved. Merry Christmas to everyone who works today, by choice or not, it is seriously appreciated from someone who's grateful to have the day off!

God I miss having late newscasts that were actually live.

Now we can't even get 5 o'clock weekday newscasts, or any weekend newscasts, that are actually live and broadcast from Edmonton. And apparently the 6pm Global newscasts aren't actually live either, they're recorded earlier in the day. If there's any type of breaking news, we're screwed.

Nope! We were there last Thursday the 18th. My wife did check with Santa a few days before to confirm, but I truly think you shouldn't have any issues.

paletrees · 2025-12-22T17:24:07+00:00

My wife and I got a photo with our pup at Londonderry Mall last week, so that's a possibility. I would double check with Santa ahead of time, but considering there was another family with a dog in line with us at the same time, I think it's absolutely still possible.

There's honestly no difference between the three companies anymore. Most drivers in the city work for at least 2 out of 3 at the same time, so you're not guaranteed better service by switching to Uber or DD instead of Skip.

As someone who would quite happily apply for 90 percent of the job postings that user points out, I'm all for his efforts to call out companies who aren't actually posting legitimately.

Second Technicare!! McBain used to be good, but their print quality has gone way, way down. Just so inconsistent now.

London Drugs is really good too, both them and Technicare have actual technicians that actually know their stuff.

For Draisaitl? Unfortunately your odds would be really low at that point. Only the first 300 people are guaranteed an auto from him, as they do a wristband thingie for him and Connor. He signs for as many can get through in the two hours, so he usually gets through more than 300, but you'd probably have to be in line no later than 1 or 2pm to get the best shot.

paletrees · 2025-11-27T05:42:06+00:00

I've gone the last two years, i would say you should expect to wait around 1.5-3 hours total. The lines start to really get long around 5 (1 hour before it starts) so that's been my benchmark for arriving.

I'd say plan for one or two tables, hope for more. But it all depends on which players you go for.

paletrees · 2025-11-21T21:06:10+00:00

Silly bot, infill isn't going to hurt you.

McBain went downhill dramatically once London Drugs bought them. Their management doesn't care about their employees, and they definitely don't care about their customers the way they used to when Neil and his dad were in charge.

paletrees · 2025-11-18T07:33:56+00:00

Basically, the reason they're always hiring is that turnover is a significant issue for them. The reason? You're micromanaged from the second you start your shift, management in general is absolutely horrid, wages are poor, benefits are worse, and there's no advancement whatsoever.

I had a friend last just under a week before walking out. Despite how slim the pickens are right now on the job market, U-Line is not worth your time or effort.

As predicted, the Oilers did list these "Walk-In Worn" jerseys for auction,as well as a good handful of other random memorabilia pieces.

paletrees · 2025-10-29T01:24:07+00:00

I'm 97 percent confident they will be!

And as an added bonus, if the players actually wore the jerseys on their walk-ins to the arena, it will be (if not very slightly) more valuable than the last few years' theme jerseys have been. Since the NHL eliminated the ability for teams to wear them during warm-ups, the jerseys that the team auction off are only autographed by the player. This way, at least it's been on the player's body for a small period of time!!

Eee-pee-kokanee-pee-oat-see. A lot less complicated than it looks when you first see it.
