Paul's Pizza Content

All Paul's Pizza content will be removed moving forward. The conversations almost always lead to people arguing with one another on the internet. This violates Rule #3 Be Civil. It would also violate rule #4 low quality content.

Support the business or do not. It's your choice. Arguing on this online community will no longer be allowed.

Cheers,

Got tired of clunky AHS pages, so I built a free real-time Alberta hospital tracker. It calculates drive times + ER wait times to find the fastest path to care.

Wife is in line at the vehicle registration office. I stayed in the car... Just watching...

Just How??? Amazing how bad people are at basic driving functions. And it's older people. Not kids taking tests.

Can't back into spots... Jesus, one lady couldn't even figure out how to park straight in the middle cause they are arrow shaped spots. LMAO!!

We need a rcmp officer just sitting, watching at the door who can just confiscate licenses at entry. LOL

AI Data Centers

Synapse is planning a 10-building campus in the northeast corner of Olds, AB with a total of 1.4 gigawatts of gas-fired power generation — about enough to power the City of Edmonton. It will include 1.8 gigawatts of emergency and backup diesel generation.

This is just up the road from us. What do the people of Airdrie think about this? What if someone said we’re getting an AI Data Center in Airdrie?

Called CIBC today and they don’t keep on hand, must be ordered through their website or app.

I’m looking for a small amount (one hundred euros) for a friend’s birthday. Any tips on where I can find them locally? Trying to avoid the drive to Calgary. Thanks!

Upcoming Mobile Coffee Shop

17 Upvotes

Hi all,

My name is Majesta and I’ll be starting a mobile coffee trailer in Airdrie. I’m putting my info out there to hopefully get some traction on a location I can park M-F. Ideally a parking lot.

I’ve reached out to several places around town, and the ones with space don’t accommodate food trailers, which I understand.

Ideally, this would be in the style of Pacific Northwest coffee where folks can drive up and order through the window.

If you have any location suggestions or are a business owner interested in hosting a fun coffee spot, let me know!

Thanks!

(I’ve already reached out to Walmart, Chevron, Home Depot, Genesis Place, and gotten hard “No”s from them or didn’t hear back at all. Also I am aware of bylaws and AHS requirements, so just hoping for some help finding a location in town)

2 of them in the water, they are orange, so I'm guessing it's probably the rentals.

Job opportunities for a teenager ?

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone, Im looking to get a job ( As a teenager, for safety and just for pers reasons I wont state my exact age but im under 16). Im fairly new to this town and Im looking for any good available jobs . I would say im good with interacting with people and most would say Im goodspoken and polite. I can keep this act for a long period of time. And any jobs that can pay a good decent amount. Most of my friends would call me talkative so Im looking for any available server/fast food cashier jobs ( like local restaurants) that are hiring teenagers who has no real job experience service. I have honors, and starting cadets soon and helped / managed my friends business as a kid growing up so I can do multiple things at the same time.

Just looking for any jobs for this summer and next summer! And Im not really sure if this can count as a Job hosting so yup!

Meadowbrook middle school

20 Upvotes

As a student at this school I suggest finding a different middle school to go to. It is absolutely nauseating that the teachers do absolutely nothing about bullying. For example, I got rocks thrown at me and my best friend and told the tecahers yet they didn't try to resolve the issue and it kept happening throughout the whole year.

They also claim to me a safe environment and yet take no action to ensure that homophobia is not an issue. I have a girlfriend and when students and even teachers found out they would look at me in disquist

Additionally, there have been many girls who feel unsafe using the washroom a as many of us have found cameras hidden in there and have told the teachers yet they still keep getting found.

Not to mention the teachers, specifically a teacher names Mrs Naugler are absolutely horrible. Mrs Naugler has gotten a kid in trouble for accidentally knocking over something on her desk (a pencil holder) causing pencils to go everywhere and instead of being nice and calm about its she screamed at him and called him useless. Me and my best friend went to the principal about it and no action was taken and she only got worse. She also doesn't teach. Instead she will hand us a textbook and a worksheet on something we have nwveeeven heard about while she plays games at her desk of whatever tf she is doing over there. I can't say this for all teachers but ten vast majority of the teachers there are absolutely miserable to have.

Of course there are some good teachers like Mr Scott and Mrs Marose (sorry if I spelt that wrong) but they are egood in the sense of doing the bare minimum.

It's no wonder that the students here are starting online school the school is aweful.

Not to mention the teachers being ABSOLUTE a-holes to the students with mental dissabilities. I have ADHD and my best friend has Autism and the teachers barely do anything to help us. Not to mention Mrs Alibi who took away her Autism headphones or whatever they are called. The same sub also purposly calls on the kid with dyslexia to read it the class knowing damn well he has dyslexia.

I could go on but you get the point. If I need to I will post about this toxic learning environment some idiots decided to call a school.

Don't send you're kids here. Literally any other school is better

Good Earth closing July 26

They recently announced on their IG that their last day will be July 26. Any idea why? It’s crazy unfortunate because there’s already so little choice for coffee shops here. Seems like Ground Press has a firm hold on the city, which is great since they’re local, but would be nice to have more than one or two options (Starbucks and Tim’s doesn’t count).
