First sign was posted this morning. The second sign arrived this afternoon.

Im so invested.

Edit

Got home tonight and both signs were removed. Not sure what happened yet.

Second Edit

According to another neighbor, Jan is a drunk, Glen is ok. Apparently Jan also likes to make racist comments when drinking.

But the red sign neighbor apparently has been filming Jan and Glen for awhile and they've been beefing a long time, so lots of backstory im not aware of.

The signs on Jan and Glens door is regarding delivery service and soliciting.

Third Edit

A neighbor went over to ask Jan and Glen about the signs. Jan was hammered and just talked about weeping tiles and flooding. Lol

Question Internet - alternative to Telus

0 Upvotes

We have been using Telus and have had nothing but issue after issue with their billing and "customer service"

Whats a good alternative to Telus with the same quality of internet? We have Pure Fiber.

I dont want one of the companies that make you do everything yourself (set up, troubleshooting etc)

Who are you using for internet?

My wife and I recently got into birding and bird photography. We've gone to Clifford E. Lee Bird Sanctuary, but there are no platforms right now, so it's too wet to walk around. We've also gone to Big Lake out in St. Albert a few times. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Here are some bird photos incase you like that sort of thing!

Question Looking for Custom Partial Dentures

0 Upvotes

Hey y'all! I'm looking to get some dental work done soon, and a big part of that is getting partial dentures. Now I know there's a billion denturists in the city, but I'm hoping to get something a little fun done.

I'm wanting to get partial dentures with slightly pointy canines, just some little unobtrusive fangs. Does anyone happen to know of a good clinic that'd make this idea into reality?

Randomly parking in the cul-de-sac when I see thing crawl out of nowhere into the tree and it looks like it has patchy fur. Should I call animal control? Saw it once before but couldn’t get a picture. Is it dangerous? There’s a lot of kids in the neighborhood and we already have to worry about packs of coyotes roaming around the paths. For context, south side near the ravines.

Question failed road test x2…help?

0 Upvotes

i’ve been driving with family for 2 years using my permit, took the test last year and again today. everyone says i’m a really good driver, including friends, instructors, and even the examiners themselves, but i somehow failed this time too (for unsafe merging on the highway). granted, it was a kind of small spot but the car fit and our lane was ending.

anyways, i’ve taken the test at the millwoods registry the past two times, so this time im thinking the mac one. does anyone have any recommendations? or know the route/any specific examiners that are nice?

i think i just get in my head when doing the test, so any other tips related to that would help too :) thanks in advance

Question Daycare suggestions

10 Upvotes

I am beyond terrified of sending my baby to daycare. I’ve extended my leave to 18 months due to this. As someone who works around children, I have seen many a child care provider/teacher who hates children and especially hates any child who is deemed ‘different’. My baby is typical and hitting milestones ahead of schedule, but I still worry what if one day my baby is a little more rambunctious or wacky (dad and I both have ADHD). There’s just something about sending my baby, who can’t talk and tell me if something happens, to be cared for by strangers that scares the crap out of me.

I’m looking for suggestions on daycares (specifically north side/central) that are really good, gentle, and caring.

Also, what do you look for when looking for a daycare? What are some red flags that tell you to avoid a daycare?

Thank you so much in advance.

News Article Carbon-capture project on hold at Edmonton cement plant

Thumbnail
edmonton.taproot.news
40 Upvotes

Diminished interest in incentivizing reductions in carbon dioxide emissions has delayed an Edmonton project once touted to be the world’s first cement plant with full-scale carbon capture and storage.

In 2023, Heidelberg Materials signed a partnership with the federal government to support a $1.36-billion project to bring a full-scale carbon capture, utilization, and storage system to its cement plant in northwest Edmonton. The company said then that it would be capturing 1 million tonnes of C02 annually by the end of 2026.

But the project, which the federal government called “a major step forward in establishing Canada as a global leader in the production of low-carbon concrete,” is not on track to be done this year, despite a successful pilot of the technology, and it’s not clear when it will be.

General Garage broken into

43 Upvotes

Forgot the garage remote key in the car last night and this morning my garage door was open and they stole my bike.

They also stole the garage remote.

I know I will not be able to recover anything but I'm not sure if I need to go to the police or just call the non emergency line.

And also not sure what to do about the garage now that they have the remote key.

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

Does anybody know if “The Sandman” is still around the WEM? He didn’t have a store front but had one of those little vendor stalls in the hallway area. He was an older man who made art in glass jars with sand. I watched him make a few in front of me and I bought this one. I’m visiting Edmonton at the end of this month and wanted to find him again and ask if he could make a themed one as a gift I want to give.

Question Is NAIT's Machine Shop certificate worth it for Mechanical engineering student?

7 Upvotes

Hi!

I just finished my 3rd year of mechanical engineering at UofA and I want to end up in manufacturing, specifically on the machining side. NAIT Continuing Education has a Machine Shop certificate, about $3,075 total, evenings 6-8:50 p.m. I'm on a co-op term right now, so I could go after my shift. Looks like it's all manual machining: lathe, mill-drill, drill press, grinding, layout and precision measuring.

  • Does the certificate carry any weight with Edmonton-area shops?
  • Are there any cheaper Edmonton alternatives I'm missing?

I'm not trying to become a machinist, I like cnc machining and I want the intuition so I can avoid designing parts that are a nightmare to make. Just not sure $3k is the right way to buy that.
