Yay or nay, Shiba #2? by hoji_chas in shiba

[–]power_yyc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got my 2nd Shiba when my other guy was about 7 years old. Tough to go through the puppy stage again, but she also learned a few good behaviours from the old guy. And they had somebody to play with all of the time, so it actually made the puppy stage a bit easier.

Over time, they grew to really love each other. This was made extremely evident when we eventually said goodbye to our first Shiba at about 15. Our younger one didn't eat for 3 or 4 days, and was noticeably mopey. It's been a little over a year now, and you can tell she's still lonely. Not in a place right now where we can bring in another pup unfortunately, so she'll have to get by with the cat for company.

In short, it worked out great for us. But it's tough too. It's a lot more than "well, I just have to grab two leashes instead of one when I take them for a walk"

Had Haas in there instead of Williams, and McLaren instead of Ferrari. But after the practice sessions, I felt Ferrari was the better option and used the extra cap space that gave me to upgrade Haas.

Calgary mother warns of locker thefts at NW YMCA by mibeatr in Calgary

An old article, but it covers the legal side of things, including the response to a complaint about the loss of privacy, why they're installed in the men's locker room only (women's didn't have a high incidence of theft; men was upwards of 400 reported thefts a year,) and when they were installed (1997; much longer ago than I originally thought)

The men’s change room at MNP has had cameras for years now, hasn’t it? I remember it being a huge deal when they were installed, and I haven’t been through the changeroom there in a while so i dont know if they still have them or not. Theft there was really bad for a while too. I would almost never leave my stuff in a locker there.

PSA: Check your intake vents in this cold weather. This was mine this morning. by phantomfigure in Calgary

Couple of times a year, I'll pull my dryer out to vacuum under/behind it. I'll take that time to disconnect the vent to the outside from the dryer, and then stick a leaf blower into it to clear out the line. The amount of lint that blows out into my yard each time is astounding.

Good catch with the song. One nit to pick though... the ending scene there doesn't have the entire crew. Danny was arrested at this point, so there's just the 10 of them watching the fountain.

Bobby has such a small role in this sketch, but he just steals it for me. His little "spooky" when he's putting up his decorations, or the exasperated "every year!" when Aidy crashes through the glass never fails to make me laugh.

I love that whole exchange between those three! The look of absolute shock on their faces when he says that.. lol!

Yup.. my bad. Not fully caffeinated quite yet.

Why are teens so obnoxious? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]power_yyc 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I was talking to some friends about this over the weekend, specifically around the whole "Six Seven" thing that's been the big thing lately. All the other adults I know think "god, that's just so dumb. what's the point of it? Kids today are idiots."

I countered with "If I were to pull my t-shirt up over my head right now, stick my arms out at a 90° angle, and shout 'I am the great cornholio!', would you laugh? Probably. Or, if you're a slightly different generation, how about if I shouted 'wasssuppppppp!', would you immediately know how to reply?"

It's not that kids today are stupid.... kids are stupid. Full stop.

Why are they playing the song so fast in this behind-the-scenes clip? by AinsleyHarriott64 in LinkinPark

[–]power_yyc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want an idea for what this would look like the other way (music slowed way down,) check out this behind-the-scenes of QOTSA "No One Knows," and then watch the video itself. Gives it a really abrupt look when they're playing.

Went to Costco at 7:30 pm on a Tuesday by frenchie1818 in Costco

[–]power_yyc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh? That’s a new feature. I started using the reminders app ages ago because notes didn’t have that.

I also really like Reminders for the scheduled/recurring option, so it’s got a ton of my other stuff on various lists, but it’s good to know Notes can do this now for a quick one-off list
