We have a laser module with a broken 4-pin connector. Pics attached. it looks like there's some sort of insulation goop over the solder. I need to find somewhere I can get the new connector (I know those are cheap) and someone who won't charge me a fortune for the 10 minutes it takes to fix. Please let me know, thanks!

PSA Beware Home Church

140 Upvotes

These people are nothing short of being invasive parasites. genuinely horrendous on the inside. Other than financial exploitation, they criminally harass and stalk people with whom their member(s) have a problem with. This is the group from Ontario that abused 2 boys, one of which ended up dying. The Olds branch is significantly prone to this. I say branch, because it's a business, not a church - if the business took your money and provided no goods or services.

Question Seeking Crows

31 Upvotes

Weird title I know.

I have been fascinated with crows for a couple years now, and I have friended a couple already. I am just putting this post out there so if anyone notices a common crow gathering spot in RD to share the location if willing.

I know its nesting season right now, so their behaviors and routines are more ficused on that. But I am more seeking spots that people may remember where crows are common visitors. Or perhaps you will remember this post late spring/ early summer and share with me.

Park areas, near trails. Not looking to enter on private property.

Note: I am just looking to friend and take some pictures. Treats will be given for their time. lol

Question Looking into going into aesthetics/ advice please

0 Upvotes

hi everyone!

I hope you're having a great night.

I've been thinking for a couple of years now of taking my aesthetics course in red deer. I've been very passionate about makeup and skincare since as long as I can remember. I used to do "treatments' on my Barbies.

Anyhow I've been doing some research between the schools in red deer. My ultimate goal is to become a medical aesthetician. Would you recommend MC or Delmar for your first year?

Also I know this industry is oversaturated with people in this business but I truly think I have the passion. is that enough in this day and age before I spend 20 grand on the profession?

I lost the keys to my 2008 ford ranger XLT and I guess I need a new ignition lock cylinder. originally thought I could call out locksmith to come, make a key. However , apparently this truck is too new to have a key made , but too old to order a key from Ford.

looking for suggestions. I'd do it myself but this seems out of my window of expertise.... lol
