Bought my first 2 mega boxes today for my birthday. I got 2 boxes of Panini Absolute Football 2025. Other than making the mistake of getting penny sleeves with blacked out backs cause that’s all I seen I was happy! I had a great time ripping them and got a couple cool cards. My question is what are my best options for ripping? I went and got these from Walmart because a hobby box at the card store was very expensive. Would I be better off getting blaster boxes from my local hobby store over Walmart mega boxes? I enjoy the 4 main sports and would like to collect them all so I’m wondering what my best options for ripping are. I just want to collect and have a good time. I’ve been recommended to buy slabs over ripping but there is no enjoyment for me in that. Any advice helps thanks in advance!

Have a crazy hankering for pie and like any normal person would prefer a good homemade one. Looked online and it looks like places are closed but Im sure there are some out there! If you don’t know of any opened tonight give me your best pie places in general on the city!

So to preface I’ve been taking this week off completely due to an odd abdominal/rib injury. Prior to this I started running legitimately end of May this year. I say legitimately because before that I would do one or two random runs here and there on the treadmill at the gym then in May o started running 4 times a week with structure and a purpose. My week was 2 easy runs (heart rate below 140 and growing in time not distance very slightly each week), 1 speed workout (intervals increasing every other week slightly with either more time in a set or more sets at a specific time), and one long easy runs (starting slow and increasing speed very slightly depending on how I’m feeling). I never once ran my easy runs too hard or felt fatigued or sore. I thought I was increasing quite slowly and was doing so due to reading these subs and attempting to learn from people’s mistakes. But due to trying to squeeze out an extra rep and completing my interval workout strong I made a stupid mistake and pushed past a side stitch and ended up hurting afterwards. This caused future discomfort with running at slow speeds and has now sidelined me. My question is was my increase what did me in or my stupidity of pushing through it? Also what should I do differently getting back to it hopefully on Monday after over a week of nothing.

I drive past it to get to work and when I forgot my coffee it’s the only place to stop on the way to work. I’ve maybe had it 3 times in the last 2 weeks and all 3 times it’s tasted absolutely horrible. I get it black so it couldn’t be anything else. This 3rd time I actually took a drink before leaving and got them to switch it for a regular coffee. I spoke with someone who said nothing has changed with the coffee and it’s always been the same. So unsure what’s going on but it’s been disgusting. Both times I sucked it back cause it was my only source of caffeine and my stomach was killing me afterwards almost to the point of throwing up……

Been on the hunt for different playgrounds around the city for the little ones to switch it up. We really like the one at the wascana pool but they always end up getting wet due to the splash pad there. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated!

If you can say why you like it that would be a bonus. Looking for wider bays, good pressure long hoses all that good stuff. Obviously good price is a bonus but if it’s really good it is what it is!

The smell was so strong and smelt horrible. Hard to pinpoint what it smelled like but was like a chemical paint or adhesive smell. I attempted to ask the cashier and she seemed out of it and said it was something with the roof that’s been going on for months. She also stated she didn’t notice any smell anymore cause she’s been in it for so long. I was in there for less than 10 minutes and it left me with a headache I couldn’t imagine working a whole shift inside there it can’t be healthy…..

Have an abdominal injury from running looking for physio recommendations that specialize in running or sport specific physio. Thanks in advance!

Yes I know it’s specific but I’m here from Saskatoon and I’m craving my 30C from Fuh Station in Saskatoon. If anyone has had a good one in the city please let me know! So many options to choose from.

I’ve been fuelling intra run for a little bit now as I was told to practice fuelling sooner than later for seeing what works and best ways fuel intra running. I’m just curious if there is a general rule of thumb or some advice that can be shared as to when to add more in time or distance. Currently my long run this week will be 1:45 and I have just been taking 30ish grams of carbs at around the 40-50min mark and have been doing so since my long runs were around 1:25. Thoughts and advice would be greatly appreciated!

Trying for the first time tonight (wings). I’m overwhelmed with all the flavour options. What’s your favourite from there?

What Vietnamese restaurant has the best ginger beef? And do any of these places actually bread the beef from scratch or is it just frozen stuff they reheat?

I’m coming to Vancouver and this assessment popped up on my FYP. As a runner I’ve always wondered what could be better or if there are certain shoes that would fit better. Though I’ve never had issues with anything I’m wondering if it would be worth it or just leave it and keep on doing what I’m doing. Also if this isn’t something you’d recommend are there any other things you would or just running stores in general to check out?

I’m a fan of hats with small logos or just blanks in general. I find hats I really like shape and style wise but don’t like the logo size. I have the Balmoral Belmore 4-Panel Hat and absolutely love the fit and style of the hat but not a huge fan of the large logo in the front (sorry Balmoral). So any recommendations would be appreciated!

Used the washroom on wascana drive between science centre broad st and there was a horrible chemical smell in there. Didn’t really smell like a cleaner but wondering if this normal or should I be concerned and call someone? Never had to use the washrooms before so was a little caught off guard with the smell when I walked in.
