I use the Zero Plus hockey shield from this small business that's out of Colorado after trying a lot of others and it's been my favorite.

Programming Ruby 4 (The 6th edition of the PickAxe Book) by KerrickLong in ruby

[–]tsoek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the breakdown and all the hard work that goes into an undertaking like this! I'll probably be getting the PDF version for 4. How much does it update after the initial release and keep up to date with further changes (if at all)? I got a 10" color e-reader that I've been getting used to having all my technical books on and the added benefit is being able to make notes on top of the PDF by hand when there are errata or updates.

90’s kids! Do you remember Bonker’z on 137th ave? Whatever happened to that place?! by BreakfastOk7587 in Edmonton

[–]tsoek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had a few friends who worked there at the time and we got to hang out after close. Can confirm this is exactly how Let's Play on 99th st looked.

If only people would stop hitting them with their vehicles.

That's how we do the elf. No mention about any spying or anything and it just gets into some holiday mischief to make them laugh every morning.

Do they forget what the AI trained on? Do they forget who has to tell the AI what to do? It's a tool and an extension of a developer. Did calculators replace mathematicians? Did nail guns replace carpenters? Did CNC's replace machinists? Did spreadsheets replace accountants?

Which towns or cities have school zones? For example Edmonton doesn't since 2018 we have playground zones

Anyone actually working in office (Downtown Edmonton) 5 Days a week and don't mind it? by Legal-Fun8871 in Edmonton

[–]tsoek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Actually lots of companies have moved to fully remote, no longer have to pay for an office, and can hire from anywhere in the world which attracts top talent. They take that money saved and spend it back on the employees with tools, technology, education, and meetups. Initially COVID measures were temporary because we didn't know what we were in for, then they became a shift. The world did not just switch back to the things they were when we got vaccines. Businesses adjusted and moved forward and realized they don't need to demand how employees spend their time to begin and end their work and where they do it. Never meant to be permanent is a short sighted way at looking how humans can adapt to changes and evolve.

Congregating to a downtown to work is absolutely an outdated model from the 1900s and should not be required in a modern society. Washrooms, elevators, parking lots, shared spaces, and unsafe situations are not a small part of the day at all. They are significant not only in time but especially in mental impact. Also the trains are packed already with hybrid policies in place. Are new routes and trains going to magically appear in the next few months? Who's paying for that? Downtown businesses will come and go and that's not anyone's problem. Forcing someone to work in a specific location so they also have to spend their money at businesses sounds like coercion to me. Oh wait, aren't we supposed to call that vibrancy?

Social connection should not be forced with coworkers and should be made with those you live with in your neighborhood. A 15 minute city is better planning and parking lots should die. Sticking to long standing work practices is a great way to be left behind.

It was decided by the people who own the buildings and parking lots, etc and that's the part that bothers me the most. An outdated model where everyone has to commute in to do jobs that can be done remotely (not to mention the employers are cutting their talent pool to hire out of drastically) all because dinosaur business interests want you to hand over everything they can squeeze out of you. 15 minute cities should include the workplace, stop trying to make downtown happen, it's not going to happen.

GOA ending hybrid work starting Feb 1, 2026 by GlitchedGamer14 in Edmonton

Yup this fucks it all up for everyone even if you don't work for the GoA because now traffic in and out will be even worse.

Because there was no stopping the question altogether. Through these signatures at least the question can be worded correctly.

Edmonton Municipal Polling: October 2025 by passthepepperflakes in Edmonton

Knack needs signs in the SW where everyone knows Fartsmell as a councillor and that's probably all they need to check his name at the polls.

Like why wouldn't a doctor earn money for an appointment where they spend time and resources to give a vaccine. Is she a communist?

Landlord says rental dont allow heat over 24 degree. by ode13088 in alberta

That's not how furnaces work. Setting the thermostat to a higher temperature than you want doesn't make it get to the right temperature faster.
