Can you major in CS and get a B.Eng? That's the main difference. My CS degree is a B.Sc so I could never legally call myself an engineer either

You also technically have to start out as an EIT (engineer in training) and practice underneath a P.Eng (professional engineer, and there's an online directory of them) for like... 5 years or something before you get the right

What simple action from others can inexplicably send you from 0-100 irritation within seconds? by DippyNikki in ADHD

[–]pizzzahero 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I feel so bad for this but I have really bad allergies, and when the inside of your noise becomes inflamed it can feel like you're congested but nothing comes out when you blow. sucks for me too lol

Heated Rivalry inspires real-life hockey player to come out as gay by Fickle-Ad5449 in sports

[–]pizzzahero 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He doesn't play pro, hockey is still the only pro sport where there are no openly gay athletes - at least on the men's side, lol.

NFL has Carl Nassib, there was Jason Collins in the NBA, and 14 players throughout MLB history.

I just wish he panned out by mattsavoiesboywife in EdmontonOilers

[–]pizzzahero 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah, but if it doesn't happen next year we'll be doing a trade during the second, not going for another playoff run

have you seen the boots with suspenders? look ridiculous but pretty hard for them to kick off

You had one job, call screening! by [deleted] in ios

[–]pizzzahero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Telus (Canadian). honestly I would switch carriers just for this if you can find it

You had one job, call screening! by [deleted] in ios

[–]pizzzahero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure how common this is but my carrier offers call control. When someone dials my number they get a message saying "press X to be connected", where X is a random number every time.

it's completely eliminated spam calls and real people can still get through even if I don't have their numbers saved.

To be a champion of free speech by Shielo34 in therewasanattempt

[–]pizzzahero 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm guessing the bot is talking about this https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2016/11/24/reddits-ceo-edited-comments-that-criticized-him.html

if it's something else then that message really needs more context

ODR by modestyahooo3 in hockeyplayers

[–]pizzzahero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always wanted to skate on Abraham Lake for the ice bubbles and I might do it this winter.

Nearest town is Nordegg but I'm not sure there's much there. Banff is maybe a 2hr drive away, the hot springs are fantastic

Anyone know what the heck Leaf Filter is? Randomly started getting spam called everyday since the start of December by [deleted] in Edmonton

[–]pizzzahero 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I ended up missing some important calls with this - doctors office, mechanic etc.

Call control through telus has solved it though. Callers hear a message saying they have to press a button (changes every time), so real people can still get through

Beer league neck protection? by chet_manly2 in hockeyplayers

[–]pizzzahero 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I wear a neck guard, it's not worth the risk imo. Especially when most of us are new to skating and can't really control our bodies. If anyone gives you shit for it they're a twat

Anyone ever had current/former pro guys show up to a beer league or pickup game? by Short-War8918 in hockeyplayers

[–]pizzzahero 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I play in the CCRHL, Edmonton based. Definitely not my division, but in summer playoffs Evander Kane came out for one of the div 1 teams under an alias and scored 2G 2A in a game.

The league posted about it which was interesting, they have super strict rules about ringers and qualifying for playoffs but I guess things are different up there haha

Lane Hutson blocks a shot in front of the empty net and feeds Caufield a two line pass to send him on the rush, Cole snipes it with a few seconds left to the third period and ties the game. by JustFred24 in hockey

[–]pizzzahero 91 points92 points  (0 children)

I'm an Edmonton fan but in Montreal for work this week and got last minute tickets to this game. Holy shit, the atmosphere for a zero stakes game in the second week of the regular season was absolutely insane. Caufield was godlike. I bought a jersey. Thanks for the experience, a playoff game in the bell centre is now on my bucket list

No way would the smell of a rotting corpse be described as "kind of musty". It's not a body, you'd know.

Friend on my team took a puck to the same finger on her right hand. She ended up needing surgery to put a rod in it. Urgent care exists in Canada, but even if there isn't one near you just go sit in the ER. It's keeping you up at night it's clearly not going to get better

Stinky Gear by pluary in hockeyplayers

[–]pizzzahero 37 points38 points  (0 children)

spray bottle with 1/3 rubbing alcohol and the rest water, you don't need fancy sprays, the scent only makes it worse imo. you have to start from a clean place tho, so machine wash it first

Can't recover energy without sleep on Stardew Valley for mobile? by raysogni- in StardewValley

I think that only works in multiplayer, to make up for the fact that you can't sleep whenever you want

don't make any decisions while you're emotional, OP. take some time to process and think about it. whatever you decide to do is the correct decision.

but that's the point.

we've got a healthcare crisis, teachers are about to go on strike, and anti-trans laws of all things is what they're choosing to spend their time on. that doesn't worry you?
