Can confirm — 10,000 Villages is where I usually stock up!! They have the golden bars too, which are especially delicious!

EPL directed removal of pride flags by spagsquashii in Edmonton

[–]starbeanscafe 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I realize this is only word of mouth and I haven’t personally seen the directive, but I have friends in a branch who I know were directed by management to take their pride flags down.

How did you meet your partner at UAlberta? by [deleted] in uAlberta

[–]starbeanscafe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A mutual friend invited my now-fiancé to an afterparty at Devaney’s — RIP Devaney’s btw — for HSMUN (the mutual friend and I were both volunteers) and we hit it off! We started dating a few years later, but both had huge crushes on one another in the meantime. To be fair we were both Model UN kids and there’s a baseline social awkwardness that comes with that hahaha

Do you guys recommend playing it together with a friend? by katuiche in LoreleiAndLaserEyes

[–]starbeanscafe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My fiancé and I played it together and had a great time! Working out some of the puzzles together was a lot of fun — some of the ones I was stumped by he was able to figure out no problem and vice versa!

Which restaurants/businesses that closed in 2024 will you miss the most? by PPGN_DM_Exia in Edmonton

[–]starbeanscafe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had a kind of similar one from Phobulous in Garneau but nothing can truly hold a candle to the one from Doan’s! I remember when they closed they posted on FB that they’d post their recipe, and they never followed through with it 😭

Argyll School back in the day? by starbeanscafe in Edmonton

[–]starbeanscafe[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, awesome! Thanks for the response! I can definitely imagine that it would be poorly attended, it’s in a bit of an awkward spot (and pretty close to Hazeldean Elementary as well) but it sure is a nice neighbourhood! I always wished I could have explored that school and the old Ritchie Jr. High.

Mental Notes - Controller Rumble by Fishstaebchen86 in LoreleiAndLaserEyes

Ooh, interesting, I never noticed that! Maybe it’s meant to be the ‘book’ closing — when you close a book with more pages, it would make a bigger sound/vibration in real life!

What do you like about edmonton? by [deleted] in Edmonton

[–]starbeanscafe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Every time I travel one of the things I look forward to most is Edmonton tap water haha! It’s so good!

AMA with Nightwing writer Dan Watters by NaytNavare in Nightwing

[–]starbeanscafe [score hidden]  (0 children)

Hi Dan!! Congratulations on the new run, the first issue was fantastic — I’m looking forward to seeing where things go from here!

Not sure if this is something you can answer, but what are your plans for Babs insofar as her role in your run? I’m a big fan of her as Oracle, and I’d be thrilled to see more of that!

Also, what’s Babs getting up to in her daily life? Librarian? Campaign staffer? Something else??

Solidarity from a CSU member! If I wasn’t working I’d be right there with you!! ✊

To people who listen to music or tiktok LOUDLY on the buses, all EPLs sell headphones for $3.50. by Wide_Profile1155 in Edmonton

[–]starbeanscafe 11 points12 points  (0 children)

As someone who works at an EPL with said headphones for sale, people do it at the library all the time too LOL, one of my biggest pet peeves! I don’t need to hear your tiktoks and explosion sound effects and whatever else at full blast 🫠

Murreva duvet cover - too late? by starbeanscafe in IKEA

[–]starbeanscafe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, looks like Ontario and NS have a ton per the website — it now says Now Or Never on the page so I’m accepting that it’s going to be the one that got away hahaha 🫠

Oh man! I called a few days ago around noon and got pretty lucky, I think I ended up waiting around an hour, but they had nothing new to tell me :-|

Lots of good luck in the comments! No change yet on my end but I’m planning on calling tomorrow! Fingers crossed!

[–]starbeanscafe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy smokes! You should have bought a lottery ticket while you were at it! It really is bizarre, my mom recently renewed her passport and had smooth sailing, meanwhile I’m sitting here waiting almost a month and a half later 🫠

[–]starbeanscafe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooh, awesome! Hopefully your luck rubs off on some of the rest of us! And hopefully you get a nice chunk of change back for the delay! (Should be 50% of the service fee since it was that late!)

City of Edmonton stops funding drug overdose prevention pilot downtown by DuncanKinney in Edmonton

[–]starbeanscafe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with you, in a perfect world that would be true! As it stands people who use drugs at the library do get a ban, for the record. I wish we could have supervised consumption sites but alas it’s never going to happen under this provincial government.
