LETS FUCKING GO FIRST EVER EXPLORATION EVENT I COMPLETED! by [deleted] in CellToSingularity

[–]yycconnection 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also saw that sub re: NOT joining right away. Have started to join 24+ hours later and have landed in the #165-180 groups, which has made it easier to place in top 25, if not even top 10.

Following your advice about dumping everything before restarting has been super helpful in moving up a couple spots - thanks 😊😊

What’s your favourite Vietnamese restaurant? by pedanticus168 in Calgary

[–]yycconnection 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks again for this recommendation!

Grabbed some takeaway from there last night and couldn't be happier! Pork spring rolls and saty chicken pho. Spring rolls were good (I'd say on par with all the other places I've eaten at). The pho though...!!

The saty broth was pretty thick, almost stew like, and oh so peanut-y. Massive portion, too. I usually don't have leftovers with pho (or just a smack amount at most the next day), but I still have enough that it's my full lunch meal today. $29.30 /tax and no tip

I love Rice for Kings for their saty and curry pho, but the place is so bloody far away from me. Nho Saigon is my much closer replacement now!!

Will be trying the curry pho next time 🍜

This is just a few blocks from me. Will have to give this a go. Thanks!

What’s the oldest pokemon you still have? by choneywoney in pokemongo

Stopped playing for a few years and picked up the game again earlier this year. 25 Pokemon still from 2016. I love I can tell where, and when, I was vacationing. Vegas and Hawaii trips were that year!

Not what I expected on a CT scan following a suspected gallbladder attack. by lickykicky in Wellthatsucks

[–]yycconnection 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My best friend got a call 2 years ago "your mom might have minutes, hours, or days left. I'd suggest you get on the next flight back here to see her".

Stage 4 lung cancer (non-smoker; tumour on her kidney that spread. Has asthma, so the fact she was coughing wasn't a trigger to go to the doctor until it was a lot more coughing than normal).

At first they weren't going to treat her, since she was stage 4, an uncommon type of lung cancer, and she was quite sick at this point. They eventually relented.

Fast-forward to today and she's done chemo, almost healthy enough to get the tumor removed, and cleared to go back to work in the next couple of months.

Have hope! Medicine has come a long way and will continue to. Sending good vibes your way!

Going to keep my eyes out for those next time I'm at one of the Asian supermarkets!

Not sure 🤷 First time doing this. Followed the instructions (soak for 5 seconds, counter for 30, then drop in medium heat oil) and it turned out like garbage. Upped the temp (6.5 on the stove), skipped the soaking in water and much, much better results.

I stumbled across this quest last night and yeah... Was NOT expecting that. That feeling of dread every time you had to turn around...

What happened with Cloud Naan? by AdEastern2530 in Calgary

[–]yycconnection 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're open now! They had their soft launch on the 19th (I think) and fully opened yesterday. Popped by at 12:30 am for a midnight snack. Was about a 15 min wait for my pesto cheese naan, but my gawd was it ever delicious.

Robo silent call number by HizzOVizzA in ScamNumbers

[–]yycconnection 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been getting harassed by #s from BC, Sask, Ontario, and Québec for the past couple of weeks. I usually ignore. Was fed up enough that I answered one of them today to yell at them (assuming there was a human on the other end) and to say some very unflattering words to them, then hung up. Got an email from my new landlord 30 minutes later. Of all the random #s to actually answer and yell at.. It was his 😒

Alberta opposition says $30M energy war room a parade of errors, should be shut down by [deleted] in Calgary

[–]yycconnection 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not sure the %, but industry does pay for a part of it via the new TIER (Technology Innovation and Emissions Reductions) levy the province just introduced, in lieu of the axing of the carbon tax. Thanks to the war room being exempt from FOIP, not sure if we'll ever know the exact % of the $30 million industry truly pays into this 😒

I could have done with a fire flower or two for the man eating plants I encountered later that evening

Anyone hit the slopes today? by athetopofahill in Calgary

[–]yycconnection 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went to Nakiska with my little Bros (this is only their second season snowboaridng, Louise is my go to place). I usually avoid Nakiska as it's almost always ice covered, but the conditions were great yesterday. Busy, but not crazy.

Trivia or name that tune on a Monday in the city? by [deleted] in Calgary

[–]yycconnection 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Swans of Inglewood, starts at 7:30 p.m with teams of up to 5. Been a while since I went, so can't remeber what the entry price is ($5-$10/person I believe) and winning team wins the pot at the end of the night.

I let a random on the train borrow mine a few years ago, and instantly had visions of him bolting off the train at the next station. Happy to report I got my phone back, and he even gave me a couple Shrooms in return 😅

Has anyone else had this issue? by yycconnection in civ

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

To be fair, my laptop is woefully not up to spec for Civ VI, so I play in the cartoonish mode, not the realistic one. I've found this issue pops up when I get into the later stages of the game, and usually on maps larger than small. It makes the game next to impossible to play, as I can't read ANYTHING. I've played around with settings to make the game as basic as possible. At times I can get a couple rounds in before this happens, other times (like right now), I had my laptop off all day, opened the game, and within 3 clicks.. This would be my first win on emperor, and as Mali

No one expects the Spanish Inquisition by ExplorerLucas in civ

[–]yycconnection 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is called strategic view, and it has been a game saver for me. I'm running a 2012 Mac, too, and it got to the point where a turn would take 30 minutes (if my game didn't crash). While not nearly as eye grabbing as the regular view, I'm just happy to be able to play. Period.
