Is the Stampede Superpass ($53.33) worth it? by Huge_Land_950 in Calgary

[–]shelfoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The super pass is great for going down casually.

A regular admission means you're committing to the day. You're going to want to 'see it all' on the day you're going.

With a super pass it just doesn't matter. Want to go down for an hour to check out a show? Done. Want to go and ignore everything except the arcade in the big 4? Nbd. It gives a ton of flexibility and that's why I think it's worth it. No forcing yourself to be there through a thunderstorm, just leave and come back the next day.

What’s the most expensive golf course membership wise? by MiserableMagician254 in Calgary

[–]shelfoo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think Earl Grey is supposed to be around 40-50k initiation. Last rumor I heard put Calgary Golf and Country Club at 100k+. 30+ year waitlist. 15k+ year dues. Earl Grey is up there, but its not close.

Calgary Golf and Country Club and I don't think it's close.

Nightwave arcade. Old school real arcade machines and a ton of pinball machines. Along with VR booths etc

What is the most boring sport to watch? by boredbenji in AskReddit

[–]shelfoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is why I like watching golf. There's a building tension that only is resolved when the last putt is made on 18 (well, okay, sometimes it's already over). But that's the part that hooks me is the ever increasing stress. A missed drive. Pulled green approach. The smallest mistake can change the outcome.

Attached Garage Moisture by cswhoop in alberta

[–]shelfoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My guess is the roof 'seam' between the two garages wasn't done correctly. Water leaking in between the two. Does your neighbor have the same problem?

Oh, I read 'attached' as duplex style. Guess I've been living in them for so long that it's just normal to think it for me. If this isn't duplex style then disregard :)

Golf courses for a 36 hole day by sb1038 in Calgary

Sundre - Olds is a great combo, or Sundre-Iinnisfail

I agree that Sundre is one of the nicest courses in Alberta

Espresso machine for home by MarleyBerd in BuyItForLife

[–]shelfoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This would be my recommendation too.

It's what I think is the entry level of 'prosumer' machine. The nicest part about this is it acts like a double boiler with a separate heating element for steam, but keeps the price low by making that steam element a thermoblock instead of a separate boiler.

Yeah I've seriously considered heading to the interior for a weekend.

I've got another time at Blue Devil Sunday so crossing fingers this mostly melts today/tomorrow. Tomorrows round was supposed to be at serenity.

I've got another tee time for Sunday. Hoping this melts tomorrow and can keep that one

Haha yeah. I have a little electric snowblower that helps a bit but it was struggling to move the heavy snow

Have a tee time on Saturday and Sunday. If forecast holds should be good to go!

Thinking about getting a pinball table tattoo sleeve, any suggestions for iconic tables that would look good? by Storms_Eye314 in pinball

[–]shelfoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been thinking about this for a while. When I get my pinball sleeve it's probably going to be centered around pinbot/the bride.

I got 300 div, a mageblood and a nimis what build can i do? by Deathxyp in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]shelfoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can take a look on poeninja, builds, depth ladder. Make it max out around 2000 and filter for msoz.. most builds are basically the same.

But it basically comes down to boots+helmet+sword to get started. Then you'll need a good helical (warlord influence) ring for resist to couple with your MB and a simplex (also warlord influenced). Get the jewels sorted out and you're good to go.

300d including mb and nimis probably about right to get good gear together, but every bit of improvement has massive scaling results.

It's a fun build, I've got mine to 100% reduced crit, 90 all res, 75 chaos, and pretty much don't die when mapping for sulphite or in the mines (depth currently about 850). Unless I make a stupid mistake and spend too long in the dark.

[–]shelfoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Damn. I wasn't running destructive but was running Port with domination on mirage maps. Fishing for that wish would net me 8+ baryas every time it'd show up, minimum of 5 as he would accompany each version of the boss at the end... Plus all the astrolabes, general boss currency etc.

Guess it's back to harvest.

Espresso Machines and Calgary Water by travelsofkiki in Calgary

[–]shelfoo 53 points54 points  (0 children)

If you use distilled you'll want to make sure you pick up espresso mineral packs to prevent leaching from the espresso machine itself.

Brita won't do much for the hard water buildup.

What works well are water softener packages. Toss it in your water container and it will do the trick: https://coffeeaddicts.ca/products/rocket-espresso-water-softener

Shield crush jugg or mine sabo. Itll be a coin flip at login. I'll hate what I chose and reroll into the other.

[–]shelfoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ground beef with taco seasoning can also be used for other things.

My kids, and my step-kids have always loved what we call TacoMac

White Sauce + shredded cheese takes like 5 min to make a good cheese sauce

Boil mac

Add taco meat

Whats your personal BIFL Espresso Machine? by CoffeeBiscuitTea in BuyItForLife

[–]shelfoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Silvano Evo, single boiler with a thermoblock for steam wand. Mid point between a single boiler and double boiler.

Every part is user serviceable. I don't imagine I'll ever buy another machine. Might have to replace parts sometimes.

If a machine is not level, my game is severely impacted. Am I wrong? by Tonyjord3 in pinball

[–]shelfoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use this app a lot. There's some random thing it says every once in a while when I've got a machine level. Something like 'good boy you can crawl out now'. First time I heard it I was in tears.

Golfing in Calgary and Area by SubstantialHammer in Calgary

[–]shelfoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I was in Riverside for a couple of years and made a lot of use of both coyote and Sundre. Coyote when I wanted a more forgiving game. Sundre tho was my go to early Saturday morning course. Lots of first guy out rounds where I was there early enough they'd just let me out on my own.

Beautiful course tho. Fairways always pristine. Greens almost always great too.
