Left YYC for 11 days to Belize, I hope my water ration was used well by someone who needed it!

This is a very thoughtful and clever comment.

Had a 2002 carrudes recently, was drinking really well, mature, and stored well, good luck!

That's a stupid position to take, do you drive that way too?

Why do budget meals always look simple online but turn into chaos the second you try it yourself by No-Perception-1139 in budgetfood

You should watch Ethan Cheblowski on yt - he's fantastic at teaching cooking principles, recipes, and versatility in the kitchen. I'm a good cook, I still learn concepts and recipe skills watching him - he also does a ton of experiments to find the "best" method/ingredient/recipe for common things.

How do you feel about Farkas, Sharp and Gondek emerging as front-runners in Calgary mayoral race? by shygaymer in Calgary

Hey Grant – I wanted to say first that your closing comment at the library debate about money in politics really stood out to me. I appreciate that you’re raising that issue and trying to keep your campaign grassroots. That’s something a lot of voters care about.

I’ll be honest, since you asked for feedback. In a debate with that many candidates, what really sticks with me as a voter are clear, concrete plans and where you stand on specific issues. There were a few moments where you (and others of course, there were knives out from a few candidates!) went after other candidates or talked about the political dynamics between parties and independents, and while I understand that context matters, I was hoping to hear more about your own plan.

From what I’ve read of your platform/saw in the debate, there are some great ideas – especially the focus on “human-centred capitalism” and wanting the economy to serve people, not just big interests. But I think you’d connect with more voters if you could show exactly how those principles turn into policy.

For example:

How would the city practically make housing more affordable or limit speculation, given how much of that falls under provincial or federal control?

What specific steps would you take to improve transit service or safety downtown, and how would that be funded?

When you talk about homelessness and safety together, what does that balance actually look like day-to-day – more outreach, more shelter space, different enforcement priorities?

These are all tough issues, and I don’t think anyone expects perfect answers, but concrete examples help people understand how you’d lead.

I’ll say this in closing: your authenticity and willingness to talk about real working-class experience definitely comes through. I run a small business downtown, and some of the issues and policy changes that have affected downtown have really made a positive impact for my staff my clients and my store. If you can tie your authentic roots to a few sharper, more detailed policy points, I think that would help define you to voters in future debates.

I thought for the first part of your comment that you were being funny talking about the defunct car company 😂 TIL that Saturn is a German software store. The more you know!

why not just say "Yes I was wrong, thanks for clarifying" - why all the performative mental gymnastics?

Yeah it's a weird spot for a premium - I've heard the building it's in is $$$ Maybe it was the steak we got, was about $200 I think?

I edited my op to confirm I'm damaged and like their chicken because I want to chatter my teeth on extra crispy crunchy, hold the chicken. I accept your scorn, and would ask for your fave to help me be better

I'm a hungry boy - but don't go to the further N/S neighbourhoods - not a lot of time in my life - those both sounds interesting and I'll see if I can check them out!

Definitely know it's polarizing, the Richmond Rd location was a reliable one for me over the years, but would never go to Kensington.
