It's pretty awesome living in a city where there is just so much going on! Yesterday I noticed someone put up an informative post on Edmonton outlining many events commemorating Chinese Lunar New Year & I highly recommend checking it out! There are scores of things to do including day and night markets, traditional dance and singing, K-pop, Tai-chi, Guzheng & other performances, and more! With this honorary mention, here are an additional 5 (amongst many) awesome things to check out this week = )
5 cool events this week:
- Red Bull Ibiza Royale Local Qualifier
- YOUth SPEAK Summit (Stony Plain)
- Big-B BHM Proclamation Festival (Beaumont)
- Edmonton Oilers Skills Competition
- Flying Canoë Volant Festival
YOUth SPEAK Summit Are you a future leader between the ages of 16 and 24, with great things to say but no platform on which to say it? If so, the Town of Stony Plain has the ultimate proposition for you. This coming Friday, gather in the small town west of YEG for an informative event tailored specifically for you. With a focus on community building, those in attendance will be delighted by a keynote from Tyler Smith, winner of The Amazing Race Canada & a survivor of the Humboldt Broncos bus tragedy. Additional events include inspiring community-based workshops, dinner and an evening performance by the now-acclaimed but local country-pop artist Mandy McMillan. This event is 100% FREE to attend!
Big-B BHM Proclamation Festival February 1st marks the start of Black History Month in Canada, an official response and celebration of "the many achievements and contributions of Black Canadians and their communities who, throughout history, have done so much to make Canada a culturally diverse, compassionate, and prosperous country" (as per the Canadian Government official website). To commemorate our incredible countryfolk, on Saturday afternoon, head to Beaumont for a FREE proclamation and party featuring the sultry tones of Mission Hill Brass Band, traditional dance performances, cultural cuisine to sample, art exhibits & much more!
Edmonton Oilers Skills Competition Have you been meaning to check out the Oilers this season but just haven't found the time to attend a game? A match of stick and puck can be long and though exciting, I totally understand your plight (haha... not! but anyways...). This coming Sunday, squash your goals while keeping that tight schedule in line and check out the Edmonton Oilers Skills Competition. A fan favourite for decades, this thrilling event features your favourite Oil boys laying down their best tricks as they compete in on-ice challenges. Grab the kids or a date and cheer on Connor, Leon and the rest of the crew as they display their speed, skill and endurance in a race to be the best of the best. Live event tickets are (unfortunately) sold out, but the event can be streamed from the comfort of wherever you may be.
Flying Canoë Volant Festival Once upon an ancient time, a French Nobleman refused to attend Catholic mass & instead stayed out hunting. His punishment for doing so was a mandate to eternally pilot an airborne canoe through the night skies while being forever chased by howling wolves and galloping horses. Or so the legend, based on a mix of Indigenous and French storytelling heritage goes. This narrative is so steeped in tradition that in 2013, a small YEG-based NPO launched a similarly-themed event in honour of Edmonton's own French, Métis and Indigenous heritage. Alluring and irresistible, original iterations of this epic affair were immediately popular with our city's lively crowds. It soon changed hands and was deemed a festival, one which 12 years later continues to be as historically significant as it is incredibly fun to attend. This year, head into the city's French Quarters to experience a voyageur spin on a traditional tale & be sure to reap the many rewards in store. With a host of mostly FREE and some paid programs and events, there is simply too many things going on to list them all. But here are a few of the highlights.
For those attending, expect a great deal of live music, a cabaret, the infamous Portage La Prairie Relay (which features axe throwing, wood stacking, buck sawing, canoes & you!), illuminated artwork, Cultural storytelling, cultural cuisine and traditional performances, bonfires, snow slides with other kids activities & much more.
As a regular patron of this annual event, I highly recommend checking it out. It's a hoot!
Have a fantastic week, folks!

2025.01.27 04:00 DirkDongus I did something stupid. Need advice ASAP.
I deal with extreme anger, anxiety, and depression. Sometimes the littlest things set me off into a rage cause I hold a lot in.
Something happened and I went into a rage. All my negative emotions came out when I was mad. I smashed a picture of Jesus and spit on it. I said "Fuck you and your gay ass Holy Spirit. Believing in you has destroyed my life. I pray to die in Jesus's name" while stomping on the picture.
I feel awful but rebellious about it. It's like I see how the most rottenest people are loved and have it so easy but I struggle so I'm like"Where are you for me???" type of rebellious.
I heard cursing the Holy Spirit is an unforgivable sin and I can't believe I actually said what I said in Jesus's name.
Am I able to be forgiven or did I really screw up this time?

2025.01.27 04:00 fellonmysword Jimmy’s reaction to Anya’s pregnancy.
Their whole dynamic absolutely intrigues me. It’s implied that until the direct assault, Jimmy was acting inappropriately towards Anya- belittling her and making charged comments. Then, around the time Curly lets the hammer drop about this being their last haul, in rage and anger Jimmy assaults Anya.
In a self-indulgent sense I wish we saw a scene of Anya telling Jimmy that she was pregnant. Obviously the assault is an open secret between them— they’ll never talk about it, but it happened. The pregnancy is that but a much larger scale. In some-odd months time, there was a possibility of a baby entering the world that was proof of what happened. I’m surprised that Jimmy didn’t try to attack Anya in that moment, but I guess he was in shock as well.
Their dynamic is so interesting as Jimmy can barely stomach Anya, he can’t manage a bare conversation without reverting to low-blows. Anya at least tries to focus on the task at hand- taking care of Curly, but Jimmy takes everything she says to him as an annoyance. Even when she comes up with great ideas, she needs to frame as to where it doesn’t seem like she’s trying to take the spotlight.
I could go on, but I’m curious as to what you all think of their dynamic.

2025.01.27 04:00 imhere-anyways Hey dad
I wish I could have known you better. My sisters really do love you. I keep telling people if I wrote a book about all the shit between you and mom it would sell out in no time. Did you really filter your drugs through the coffee filters and make coffee for mom? How did you not know you had stage 4 lung cancer? When you basically stalked our small town to all my friends house because I had to leave my house because you were honestly stalking mom. I was in the closet of Isabellas house. You were like two foot away from finding me that time. What were you going to do if you found me? I never called the new guy dad btw. Dave fits him well and means more then the word dad did. But we're human Ik. And you lost your brother and you lost your mind. Watching my friend play with the same shit you did helped me see you were barely there. I can't explain the feeling when hearing my sister talk about you and wish so bad to know the good guy you were to them. The difference is clear to anyone who sees those things. I wish I could say I love you or that I cried at your funeral but I didn't. I only cry for the missed experiences that could have been. I could have learned books full from you. And btw I really am sorry that I didn't get your ashes from the old house when I moved. The house haunts me when I drive by it. I couldn't stay in there long to get my stuff. I could feel the happiness draining out of my soul the second I stepped through the door. I'm sorry but I hope to think of you less this year. Except March. You know why.

2025.01.27 04:00 comacow02 OCing GPU memory not doing much?
Just did some experimenting raising the memory clock of my 4080 Super in MSIAB. I ran a baseline benchmark using +0, then ran a test for +500, +1000, +1500. All tests resulted in +- 1 FPS, basically no change at all, and a 1-3C degree increase in GPU temps. Is this normal? I was told OCing the GPU memory is free performance but it seems like a waste of time, all it did was make the card hotter.

2025.01.27 04:00 Ely23s Concept of money is very dumb
I’ve always thought that the concept of money was dumb, but every time I actually sit to think about it, I can’t process it. You can literally make anything into currency if you wanted to. Rice, leaves, rocks… And for what?? The concept of money blows my mind. There is no actual value to a piece of paper. Numbers are just numbers on a dollar bill. Everything is made up. We are working for free essentially because when you break down how we even obtain this money, it comes from paper. We don’t have to actually pay for anything and that’s fucking crazy. There has to be more people who think this

2025.01.27 04:00 Zoeloumoo Next step in my journey
Kia ora koutou,
I have been learning Te Reo for a few years now, and I’m not sure where to go next. I’ve completed two years of Te Ahu o Te Reo Māori, up to level 4, which has now been defunded. Pania and Leon are offering the course as a paid option, but I’m not sure if I am ready for level 5 which is full immersion Te Reo Māori.
I’m also about to complete the open polytechnic Te Pōkaitahi Reo level 1 certificate.
Any ideas for where I could go next? I need some immersion I think, but maybe not 100%.

Hi. I'm a kind man from Denmark, 48 years old.
I'm looking for a sweet young woman with a good humor, to have nice talks on the phone. I like voice calls, it's easier and its nice to hear each others voice, so please only contact me if you like voice calls :)
I'm very easy to get to know, i myself have a lot of humor, I'm kind, youthful, respectful and supportive with many things.
We can be friends, have nice and funny talks, but also serious talks if you are down a bit and you need to vent, i will always listen and try to help.
Hope to hear from you :)

2025.01.27 04:00 Useful_Yesterday8904 Critical illness insurance question
I have CII through my employer. I was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2023. I've now been diagnosed with lung cancer in 2025. My employer is using different CII Insurance carrier in 2025 than in 2023. I had filed claim back in 2023 for colon cancer with carrier A. Now I'm getting ready to file a claim for lung cancer diagnosis with carrier B in 2025. Carrier B simply gives a checkbox for cancer without asking to specify what type of cancer. The online claim for does ask "Is this a Critical Illness for which you have previously filed a claim?". Does carrier B need to know I had filed a claim 2 year ago with carrier A? I should be going to surgery in about two weeks so I want to be perfectly honest with the insurance company. Worrying about getting accused of insurance fraud is last thing I need after the surgery as I'm recovering.
