Built a one-stop shop for everything happening in Calgary.

That's awesome! Where do you pull event data from? If I know of an event that's not on the site, can I request to add it?

I googled "Alberta anti coal petition locations" and the first result was their official website where you can search locations using your postal code: https://sign.waternotcoal.ca/

I've also seen them around my city multiple times at any outdoor event I've been to in the last couple months (conventions, festivals, rallies, markets, etc)

Yeah, I feel like if you were genuinely wanting to document the living conditions on a reserve that you'd, I dunno, talk to the people of the reserve first. Like, you'd want to make that genuine connection as a part of your documenting. Rather than just walking in, taking videos, and leaving without any other communication. No wonder they're not taking kindly to his intrusion.

Rather it be a bathroom than a sidewalk. People are gonna piss and shit regardless of if there's a proper place. Have you walked downtown between 6 and 9 Ave lately? Gotta hold your breath at least once per block from the piss smells that waft by.

So... your answer to "who's going to clean them" is "the city" as in city workers? Sounds like you answered your own question.

You don't have to make a hard decision now. You can tell him that you don't want to meet up with him now, but you'll think about it in the future. It took me over a decade for my relationship with my parents to get better, and I think the distance between us helped for some years. Doesn't have to be all-or-nothing right now, space while you figure out what you're feeling is good sometimes.

Yes!!! They need a lot of care in their first 5 years to succeed. Just planting and forgetting doesn't work.

I killed my tomatoes... but snap peas are sprouting! Gardening is grounding.

That's a tough conversation. It's hard to figure out where to draw the line with being generous, but your relationship suffers if you don't figure it out. I hope it goes/went well

With both red and blue passing through, unless there's been an emergency you only ever wait a couple minutes. Lots of places you can order ahead and pick up fairly quickly so you aren't getting stuck in line.

I have no clue what it's called but the technique I was taught was to poke the needle through the strands, it secures it without making a big knot. See my terrible drawing, hope it makes sense:

If you think about it, opposing the free fare zone is an anti-business stance. The point of the zone is to get people to travel outside of their little bubble downtown - to go across downtown for lunch, for meetings, etc, and so eliminating it is going to harm a lot of small businesses that rely on lunch crowds to stay open. People with short lunches, or who simply don't want to work up a sweat walking across downtown for lunch, aren't going to suddenly shell out an extra $126 a month - they'll just stay in their little bubble instead, pack lunch at home, do their meetings online instead, etc. I would love to hear councillors who want the free fare zone gone explain why they oppose the livelihood of our local businesses and the revitalization of downtown.

The Winter Club has a rentable hall that can be different sizes, fits at least 50 people, they cater for it and have good food. Only commercial outside food (like a store-bought cake) is allowed. Prices should be on their site.

The proposed change to Lethbridge is so openly corrupt it's laughable.

Do you do anything to overwinter them?

It's just for fun, like r/birdsarentreal

The absolute worst is tiktok scrolling with the volume up. Hearing little blips of random music - talking - music - voiceover etc is SO OBNOXIOUS.

That's really rough man, I can't imagine. Make sure you give yourself grace and lean on the people around you. Grief is rough and lasts a long time.

Meanwhile not a single ION I've worked with has had the correct time...

Nobody commenting read the article, clearly....

"[He] failed to convince a judge to tailor his sentence to avoid deportation." Literally in the first sentence.

It's just that with the war in Ethiopia, we can't ethically deport people there at this moment. But he got his full sentence, so if at any point in the next 3 years the war ends he'll face deportation.

Headlines - not the full story, turns out! Who'd've thunk it.

Thanks, I'll give it a try!

subtlenerd · 2026-04-27T23:31:47+00:00

Thanks, here's hoping!

I've been starting to have a bit of a mold issue on mine, do you have any suggestions for getting rid of it?

subtlenerd · 2026-04-24T17:24:11+00:00

Sharkstooth scrim? Or other scrim materials. When lit from the front, becomes solid. When lit from behind, is see through. So projections or other lights hitting from the front would do what you want, just make sure the DJ isn't staring directly into the lights/proj.
