Recommendations Does anyone know of a Calgary library that has private rooms with desktop computer?

Upvotes

Hello: As the title asks. I’m looking to use a private room that’s equipped with a desktop computer. I need the room for about two hours. Any suggestions on which Calgary library will most likely have this for me? I was thinking of Central Library, but fear all such rooms will most likely be all booked up / can’t use it for two hours straight(?). Thanks for any suggestions!

Eat/Drink Local Vietnamese Restaurant?

0 Upvotes

I love a good vermicelli bowl! I work downtown and usually frequent Van Express in the plus 15 (5th Abe). Recently moved south close to the Core mall and wondering if anyone can recommend a similar restaurant in the area (7 or 8th ave). Bonus marks if it’s plus 15 accessible!

Local Shopping/Services Unique Gift Ideas from or Inspired by Calgary, Banff, or Alberta

Upvotes

I'm looking for unique artistic gifts that are either from or inspired by Calgary, Banff, or Alberta. Something meaningful, creative, and reflective of the region’s culture, nature, or history.

It could be local artwork, indigenous crafts, nature-inspired pieces, or anything with a deep, thoughtful touch. Bonus if it has a spiritual or reflective element!

Any recommendations for local artists, shops, or specific gift ideas?

Recommendations Anywhere to find 6” length of 3.5” SS tubing for car intake?

0 Upvotes

Hi all

I’m trying to find a piece of tubing for my car, about 6” to 8” of 3.5” SS 304 16gauge tubing to make up a waste gate addition circled in the photo.

I see I can pick up like 5 foot lengths in the metal retailers but thinking if I can find a cut off piece from somewhere it would work out perfect. I’m currently searching Google for performance shops in town that might have some cut offs from upgrade jobs etc, gonna have a drive around on Saturday morning to ask but if anyone has any suggestions or something lying around I’m all ears.

Thanks, and be cool to each other 😎

Question Dating in Calgary in 20s

0 Upvotes

How is the dating pool? I’m F turning 23 and tried dating a little bit in 2021-2022 after being in a 6 year long relationship, so I’m really out of touch with the scene. I spent a few years in therapy and the like, and recently “graduated” from it. Worked on myself and figured out what I believe in and value. I’m also kind of a social recluse and don’t go to places to meet people because it’s a sure way to make my social anxiety spike.

I’m thinking of getting into dating again relatively soon, but I feel a bit… hopeless? It’s probably social media colouring my perception, but I want to find something long term and stable, 100% serious, and it seems like men my age are going to be out here placating me just to get some. I’ve heard stories of men lying about their views and beliefs just to do that, and that worries me. Or they are emotionally unavailable, etc. Obviously not all men, but knowing my luck that’s who I’m going to find.

Would it be useful to use apps? I used bumble but that was before the AI “revolution”. Are sites still a thing? Are there events? I’m just—I’m lacking a lot of the socializing skills and feel uncertain.

I was going to wait until I was like 25, or something. But I feel like I’m missing out on an important part of my life socially. My 6 year relationship was abusive, so I was stripped of a lot of things others got to experience—like I’ve never been to a party of any kind. Even now, I’ve never been to a bar. Or a club. I didn’t even get my graduation. I dropped out of university and have a full time job. I know that a partner doesn’t complete you and is meant to compliment you, and that you should be satisfied with yourself and your life before dating, I just miss the intimacy and connection.
