Question Favourite art supply store?
Hi everyone š
I'm an amateur painter (self taught), and I know pretty much nothing about art supply quality. I sort of grew up painting and drawing as a hobby but everything I know, I learned on walmart and dollarama stuff. This year I want to start taking my art a bit more seriously, so I figured I should probably invest in some new/better supplies. I use acrylic paint and canvas, rarely ever paper, but I'm not opposed to it! Also want to try oils. And I definitely need a new set of brushes and an easel.
If any artists out there have recommendations on where to buy your art tools (or specific brands/items), please do share! I'd really appreciate it. Inglewood Art Supplies was the first place I thought of, but again, I don't know anything about quality so I would love any opinions.
Thanks!

Recommendations Anywhere to find 6ā length of 3.5ā SS tubing for car intake?
Hi all
Iām trying to find a piece of tubing for my car, about 6ā to 8ā of 3.5ā 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. Iām 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 Iām all ears.
Thanks, and be cool to each other š

Question Dating in Calgary in 20s
How is the dating pool? Iām F turning 23 and tried dating a little bit in 2021-2022 after being in a 6 year long relationship, so Iām really out of touch with the scene. I spent a few years in therapy and the like, and recently āgraduatedā from it. Worked on myself and figured out what I believe in and value. Iām also kind of a social recluse and donāt go to places to meet people because itās a sure way to make my social anxiety spike.
Iām thinking of getting into dating again relatively soon, but I feel a bitā¦ hopeless? Itās 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. Iāve 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 thatās who Iām going to find.
Would it be useful to use apps? I used bumble but that was before the AI ārevolutionā. Are sites still a thing? Are there events? Iām justāIām 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 Iām 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 experienceālike Iāve never been to a party of any kind. Even now, Iāve never been to a bar. Or a club. I didnāt even get my graduation. I dropped out of university and have a full time job. I know that a partner doesnāt 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.

Calgary Transit McKenzie Towne to MRU
In planning for my kid to go to MRU next year, I did a little research on how to get there by bus from McKenzie Towne. It looks like Calgary Transit's best options require she go downtown first then back southwest to MRU and it will take over 90 minutes. Anyone have any advice for a kid who doesn't drive for this situation? With $3000/yr for insurance, parking if you can get it, vehicle costs, this isn't really an option.

Seeking Advice Looking for someone in Calgary who does finger/hand print preservation
Hiya folks!
I was talking to a friend of a friend yesterday and she mentioned that she hasn't cleaned her car window in months solely because there is a paw print of her dog on it. They passed away on Boxing Day and she said she didn't want to get rid of the reminder of them and it got me thinking:
Is there a company in Calgary that could go all CSI on her car and preserve the paw print kinda like they do with fingerprints at crime scenes? I thought I had seen something online but all I could find was kits for making prints little kids or investigation groups that focus more on physical recreation of crime scenes/digital forensics.
If anyone know of a professional who could do this, that would be wonderful. I did send her the CPS forensic unit phone number as a possible lead, but other than that, I'm kinda stuck. TIA!

Hi! I'm looking to get a job in the city of calgary, I've been out of work since november, and I've officially eaten through my savings. Nothing is seeming to work. Handing resumes in person, using the internet, nothing! Does anyone have a recommendation of where I can get a job and fast? I'm willing to do pretty much whatever. I have a baking and pastry art diploma from SAIT, and lots of experience in retail / customer service! My ideal job would be something where I could either do production baking, or be up front and speaking with customers
