Does anyone know if there's any Trunk or Treat events in Edmonton, and if you can just register for them even if you don't live in that specific area? I love giving out candy at halloween but we live in an apartment so I never get to! I didn't even realize trunk or treats were a thing until I saw someone talking about one in the US so I thought I'd see if that's something that happens here. I did google it but didn't really find much

Hi all,

I'm looking for a gaming laptop (I know its better to build a desktop for my price range but I have nowhere in my small apartment for a dedicated setup), for MAX $2500 canadian. I was hoping to spend closer to $2000, but almost anything decent is at least $2500... i know everything is super inflated right now and I'm having trouble understanding what prices are good for what computers and whether the high prices are because its a good computer or just because of the high RAM/memory prices.

I've been reading reviews and see mostly praise for this one, but wanted to ask for opionions from people here. I have a current Dell G3 series gaming laptop that's 5-6 years old. It's been mostly okay but overheating is a constant, major issue that I am hoping to avoid in future gaming laptop. Is the cooling better in this 16X series? I've never had an alienware before but obviously they're the Dell gaming line so I assume they're the best, relatively speaking?

I plan on playing games like Palworld, World of Warcraft, the Horizon series, Planet Zoo/Coaster series, the new Fable when it comes out, etc. hopefully on the highest settings.

Plz help. My options are more limited than I expected for my price range, and I just want to get the best thing I can for the price range. Gaming is one of the few hobbies i can do these days and I just want something nice :)

I’ve been having a lot of diarrhea lately, unfortunately have had too much processed food in the last week.

Wondering if fibre is good in this case? Or will it make it worse? And which kind of fibre is best?

Plz help, I am so tired of this 😭

I started noticing the Lays plain flavour (both regular and wavy) starting to taste like off-oil like 6+ months ago, so I recently switched to Old Dutch wavy and I’m starting to notice the same thing. It’s like all I can taste is oil and it tastes weird. And the salt levels are so imbalanced, like some chips aren’t salty at all and then some chips are so salty my tongue starts to burn after a few of them.

Are my tastebuds just totally off? Or are others noticing this too?

Noticed that the rate on my electric bill with Carma corp is going up steadily every 2 months or so...

December: 0.0846
February: 0.1031
April: 0.1161
June: 0.124

The difference between December and my June bill for very similar usage is from $43 (when we were running a heater, too) to my current bill which is $55. The delivery fees are also more expensive every month.

Anyone else have theirs climbing steadily like this? Is this because of data centres, or just inflation in general?? It seems insane to me, there's just two of us in our small apartment and we barely have anything running at all during the day (no one is even home between like 7:30am and 5pm), and at night our activity hasn't changed at all. A laptop or two running, one or two lights, and a fan.

Last July we'd been running the AC constantly for weeks and the bill was around what it is for this month, which was a whole lot of nothing. Like I get that utility bills go up, but this seems like a very fast rise over the last 6 months or so, way faster than the past several years we've been with them
