The city takes clean fill for free at the landfill, but you have to call first, as they sometimes rotate which landfill is taking it. Make sure there is no sod, and it should be fine.

Ok monkeypox, it’s your time to shine. Can’t wait until pandemics require multiple sub forums.

Even if not free, surely cheaper than driving around with a load of rocks and soil in a truck, attempting to surreptitiously dump it at construction work site where there is probably video surveillance. So best case, save a couple of bucks; worst case look like a complete hoser on CTV News later as they try to identify the owner of the truck, illegally dumping material.

The 25th ave SW bridge is closed and the construction guys don’t work sundays. It looks perfect for a game of street hockey. Come on, who’s game?

Someone smashed a load of the peace bridge glass panes. It’s evident the ‘please don’t vandalize’ messaging isn’t working.

I would totally support paying a couple of folks to hide out day in , day out, just to catch people who do this. And fully support broadcasting their absolute #### kicking on public TV. Maybe just a couple times a week they get roughed up just to let the message sink in.

The state of this City has devolved a hell of a lot in the last 5 years.

Everyone knew the minute that went up that the ‘please don’t vandalize’ signs were just going to trigger some #### to destroy it all.

I would sign up if there was no legal ramifications… and free beer.

As a place to live? Not a chance. As a set for a dystopian sci-fi story? Hell ya.

going back to the Teletext channel...

I remember the old primary coloured version, but could find no such archive. Here's the last version of it out there before the channel was abandoned in the early 2000s

Why are people using tanning salons in the summer? It is hot right now and the sun is beating down on us. Unless they are getting naked in the beds for a full body experience I don't understand why they paying for something they can get for free.

Some people are just frivolous with their money?

Also, and I hate to say it, but some people just love, love, love tanning. I dont get it and I'm not one to kink-shame, but I think its weird.

But America elected one of those weirdos.

And where I grew up it had sort of popular music on it and we’d tape songs off of it with the tape recorder. You’d get mad when half was through mom started clanging dishes and ruin your recording.

Why is there no traffic info for highway 93 between #1 and Radium on Google Maps? Is there no cell service on that stretch?

Went to the deep south of Calgary to visit my buddy I haven't seen in a while today. I got flipped off on the road on the way to his house AND on the way back...the streets are hot haha. I forgot how much more aggressive people are down there.

Would the chance to pummel a clown with a baseball bat be a successful motivational tool at work?
