Hi there,

Myself and a a group of friends are coming up Friday for the Post Malone concert, but unsure what the best strategy for us is going to be with regards to parking/getting to and from the stadium. For personal reasons we need to make the drive back Calgary immediately after the concert, so looking for something that can let us get on the road quickly.

My group is hesitant to use transit after long waits to get on the train when some of them came to Morgan Wallen last year. Not sure if this is still a concern (or matters which direction you go), but walking is also alright for us. Pricier parking also isn't a concern.

My thought was the EXPO/Northlands parking lots, because they

Hi all,

I'm approximately a year out from being ready to upgrade properties. I currently live in a condo (I own, outright) with my girlfriend and we'd likely be upgrading to a single family home. We would not be keeping the condo. We are in Calgary.

By that time, we combined won't have enough cash on hand to make the full down payment amount we'd like. However, assuming there is no major market crash for condo units (>30% loss in value of the property) the equity I currently have in the condo is more than enough to cover the ideal amount we'd put down.

Unless I am missing something, our two options are either a bridge loan or a HELOC. I've been leaning towards the HELOC angle (paying the

So its winter season here in Canada and I've been looking for a good spot to keep my reps up. There is a local spot in town that advertises themselves as an indoor driving range. Its a huge room with about 15 or so yards before the ball hits the net. Its also usually empty and the buckets are dirt cheap so its almost everything I'd want in a winter practice spot.

Right now my main focus when training is working on reigning in a bad slice I've been dealing with; while this spot is great for striking the ball I'm having a hard time judging if I'm keeping things on line, regardless of my launch angle. I am not a big "sim golf" round guy really, launch metrics and maybe a visualization of shot

Hey all, asking this question to help settle a debate with a friend. Their situation, looking at buying a home in 1-2 years and are on pace to max their FHSA each year between now and then. The question is, what should be done with the rest of the savings in the meantime?

My (potentially flawed) suggestion was for them to load up their RRSP and take tax deductions, using those deductions to get a larger tax return and in turn put that back into the RRSP to build up a bit of bonus cash. Then, when the house does get purchased, pulling out from the RRSP with the HBP benefit. And then being in absolutely no rush to pay that back beyond the specified minimums, and continuing to make normal RRS

I'll start off by saying I actually really like the new way that Battle Passes and Operations are being handled. I have no qualms with there being a premium Operation pass, nor do I have issues with a shorter Battle Pass to allow players to work on the Operations pass.

What doesn't make sense to me (from a player perspective) this season is how Battle Pass Bonus XP is being handled. Historically, as long as you owned the Premium BP for the currently active season, you received Bonus XP regardless of which pass you were currently working towards. This was great, and gave a nice incentive to purchase the current Battle Pass even if you hadn't completed the previous ones, as it would help you

So, I’ve been playing on-off for a few years (couple rounds and range sessions a season), but finally starting to take golf more seriously. Played a round last week and when cleaning my clubs afterwards and reading the shaft, I realized the set I have been using for the last 5+ years (passed down from my parents) are actually women’s flex clubs.

Been reading up on the flex being pretty different between these and regular flex clubs. I’ve been an inconsistent hitter but I just assumed that was from lack of experience, and also a strong believer that at my skill level practice and lessons will have a much bigger impact on my game than new equipment. That being said, would I be doing a disserv

Just moved into a new place and above the shower there is some damage to the textured ceiling. There is above a 4” long crack where the base layer has started to peel and then about a 9” long section behind it where the texture has either been scraped off or fallen off. Picture here https://imgur.com/a/cQT2TgL

Is this worth getting repaired soon or would this be fine to leave for the time being? It’s not in a primary bathroom so if it’s purely cosmetic I’ll likely just leave it for the foreseeable future. Some repair contractors I’ve talked to have quoted me up to 800 dollars for a repair and I really struggle to see the value unless this is a serious risk of collecting moisture and causing

Next time you load up into a game on Deadlock, watch the Shade turrets at either spawn. Chances are, someone will hop in right away and just sit in there, spamming shots across the map, for as long as it takes to get a kill. That completes their weekly challenge! Once they get a kill, they hop out, and the next player patiently waiting for the Shade to free up hops in and the cycle repeats. Just watched a bunch of players burn half a game trying to get their challenge done.

When the game hasn't even been out for 12 hours and players are already throwing away games to get a smidgen of XP, you know the system is broken.

r/Calgary•

Hi all, I’m moving back to Calgary after a brief stint out of town and I’m considering all my options for living arrangements right now. I’ve been enjoying the idea of trying an apartment/condo in or around downtown because I’ve always lived far in the NW. The idea of a ground floor apartment is appealing to me because I’m used to upstairs neighbors, hate the stairs, and I’ve thought about getting some home gym equipment and on a ground floor wouldn’t have to worry about disturbing anyone below me.

Only concern I have with that idea is the risk of flooding. I was around for the 2013 floods, and I know downtown spaces (especially underpasses) can tend to have water build up after heavy rain

Anyone else running into issues streaming Stations and Artists on Apply Music? I have issues on both my phone and PC at home, but on cellular or on the WiFi at work my phone has no issues playing songs. I've seen some posts on reddit suggesting other Canadians are having these issues, any other TekSavvy users finding the same thing/have a fix?

Been applying for jobs for a few months now in an effort to move back to my hometown. I graduated last year and took a job offer in a much smaller city a few hours away. I haven't been enjoying the job at all (borderline toxic workplace) and I've been seeing lots of postings back home for jobs I feel very qualified for. Only issue is no bites so far! Reached out to a local resume review service for a free review, and instead got a manipulative sales pitch that tore apart the resume I had. Now I have a resume I don't feel very confident in and don't feel comfortable going back to that review service for more advice.

I've been making adjustments and modifications based on some of the feedback
