TLDR; Partner works in a dealership with a poor working environment. Do you (or does someone you know) work in a shop that holds people accountable for their efforts, doesn't promote racism, etc.? Hopeful to turn his views around.

Long version; My husband has worked as a service tech (/intended apprentice) at a dealership in Calgary for a couple of years. He likes the work itself and was hired with the intention of going through the four-year automotive program at SAIT.

He's been hesitant to actually move forward with schooling because of the working environment. He figures that every shop is more or less the same and he has to put up with it, but it's affecting him to the point he isn't

Does anyone have a tomatillo plant they are growing and could afford to donate a cutting to my home garden? I made the mistake of only getting one plant (first year growing them) and it's doing SO well but won't fruit without a second plant. I am in Huntington Hills but can come pick up (Sunday or later?).

If I hadn't noticed you weren't going to stop for the pedestrian I was already stopped for, and frantically waved and screamed at her to stop walking, you would have hit her. Seriously, do better. If you see a car stopped at a crossing, you at least slow down to figure out what's happening.

Hiya, I was in my front yard in Huntington Hills and a yellow w/ bright green budgie/parakeet landed in the street. I tried to capture it but he flew off... I'm keeping my eye open for it but a large raven was too...

If you're missing your bird, I can PM you my location.

(Also, I don't have FB if anyone could share on the recovery page...).

Hiya!

I'm mostly just curious on other experiences here...

TLDR: I ordered two copies of The Beaches upcoming album, No Hard Feelings from Rough Trade - the signed version. The website did not indicate an order maximum in the description but it wouldn't allow me to add three. They have now refunded one of two, and shipped one.

...

I have two friends that are also major fans, so when pre-order went up, and we saw that shipping was $30 for either one or two, we wanted to combine orders.

I tried to place three in my cart, but the website gave me an error that the quantity was more than the maximum allowed. Fair enough! I added two just fine and placed the order (April 17).

Yesterday,

The supposed "quality" of the season? All these posts about how terrible this season is just don't resonate with me.

I watch Survivor for ~70 mins of television - I don't really put any weight on the value of the season as a whole or how it stacks up against other seasons.

I am never disappointed in any particular episode, gameplay, cast mate , or the way a season ran through.

Are some episodes more exciting than others? Yes, of course! I guess I just don't expect that out of the majority of episodes? I think I find something entertaining regardless.

Every episode, I get what I came for - an episode of Survivor, at face value, that's it. 👌 I get time away from life otherwise and enjo

If I join a private subreddit, but then "Mute" it, will my access be removed, or can I still access it and search the sub later?

A niche hobby sub I'm part of has started to flood my feed (no m-o-d-s for it). I no longer want to see posts in my feed (they have become messy), but want to be able to search it for relevant info later. Is this possible?

Does anyone actually relate streetlights to the colour blue?

I heard this and thought it sounded weird, but then I laughed because...

The City of Calgary (among other cities) made a decision years ago to replace our streetlights with a certain LED. Well, they've been failing and defective over the years and we have a ton of streetlights on one particular highway that are actually blue/purple.

Thought folks who have never seen them might find this fun!
