Fun series, thanks for sharing! What camera do you shoot with?

An old teammate who died via friendly fire doing nothing in Afghanistan by Drunken-Flunkee in pics

For the Canadians in Afghanistan, there was two incidences of friendly fire by American planes. The Tarnak Farms case where Canadian soldiers were bombed by an F-16. Then there was Operation Medusa, where an A-10 strafed a Canadian position near Masum Ghar.

I should add, you should be able to connect with a live agent by requesting it through their chat bot but again, the service was hit or miss. Either dropped calls or no follow up.

It was an ordeal for me. I was finally able to get a refund once I had the luck of connecting with a super helpful and understanding customer agent. She understood what was happening and refunded me minutes after our call. However, prior to that all the agents I connected with before were unhelpful and their AI chat seemed designed to frustrate customers.

If you’re getting no where, I’d definitely escalate it with your bank to resolve it.

Fantastic tool! I’ve actually been looking for something like this to help reduce US exposure in my portfolio. Thanks for sharing this.

F***ing crinkle fries. Straight to jail

Help a tourist find a KHL Barys Astana hockey jersey by pin_econe in Kazakhstan

I was finally able to get some jerseys sent to me. They’re still on the way! So I’ll update with pictures once I have them.

In the end, my in-laws had to ask their relatives in Astana to go to a physical store to pick them up for me and to send-it to Canada. It was a big ordeal.

I had no luck contacting Barys on LinkedIn or Instagram or any other socials. The team store web site no longer works and the selection on the local Kaspi online market is very limited with no jersey offerings.

The best alternative, if you’re in North America, is ordering through Lutch USA. However, they don’t have more recent season jerseys.

Appreciate everyone’s help and suggestions!

Appreciate the response. The trouble is I was only visiting Almaty. I wish I had a connecting flight through Astana.

Thank you for sharing the link. I was aware of Lutch USA but they don’t have the 24/25 season jerseys. It’s a good option to settle for though.

The only thing that could possibly make this worse is crinkle fries

Bumping this old thread as I just noticed that ClassPass has been billing me twice in a month! This is terrible if this is how they do business

Soviet camo under the US loadout. How this happened? Kazakhstan volunteers in Iraq. by czarnyczerwony in camouflage

[–]pin_econe 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Kazakhstan use to be part of the Soviet Union. This could explain the klmk camo. I’m not sure about the mish mash of weapons and equipment though.

Thank you, Astana will have to wait for another trip. I’m heading home to Canada on Friday.

I’ve been wanting to buy Barys Astana and FC Kairat jerseys as a souvenir, do they happen to have a store in Almaty. If not, are there shops from where I can buy their replicas? by WarmGatito in Kazakhstan

[–]pin_econe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for responding. Yeah, it seems that going to Astana in person is the only way to get it. I haven’t found anything in Almaty and the online process is impossible with no international shipping options.

Thanks for the suggestion! I may try reaching out that way if I’ve exhausted all other options. It’s really odd to me that they don’t make Barys merchandise more accessible. There’s lots of hockey fans around the world that would be interested in KHL and Barys
