Hot seems broken today

That's a good idea. We have lots of cul de sacs near us

Thank you! This is perfect as it's close to us

 

My wife wants to practice biking as we haven't really biked and probably need to brush up. Any recommendations? Plus points in the NW

 

What free stuff can you get on your birthday in Calgary?

Here's what I know of:

  • Starbucks drink (requires registration)
  • Chicken on the Way - 2pc chicken meal
  • Denny's - $12 worth of food

Anything you can add? I'll edit OP with updates

Love this game too but you need medium heavy gamers or the rules may go over their heads

 

Hi, I'm trying to make salmon sashimi or at least tartare. Anyone know where I can get some here in Calgary?

There was a thread on this on the alien site a couple of years back. These are farmed salmon of lower quality (and is dirt cheap). Costco has a higher quality salmon that they sell, but it's more expensive.

As an immigrant myself, yes. It is very attractive just by the fact that Canada's government isn't 100% corrupt and it's honestly very family friendly. Sure, there are problems, but they pale in comparison to a lot of other countries'.

It took me 5 months to find a good job (that wasn't service) - so competition is tough and the initial steps are ridiculously expensive, but it's all good. Infrastructure and systems are suffering right now, but in the next 20 years, I'm confident it will catch up.

 

Any events that are happening this week or mostly weekend? Last weekend there were a bunch of "Parade of Garage Sales"

I really like the Ares expansions. You should try them out

We love this game!

Our current favorites are:

  • Sprawlopolis - quick, small game while still being challenging
  • Arkham Horror LCG - excellent narrative and great deck construction
  • Frosthaven - epic battles with clever cardplay
  • Terraforming Mars: Ares, Crisis Expansion - engine building in the TfM world
  • Skytear Horde - tense back and forth card battler with a good AI system
