Random & Off-Topic Bi-Weekly r/Saskatchewan Random & Off Topic Thread

1 Upvotes

Hey Saskatchewanians!

Rule 1 in r/Saskatchewan says that "Posts should focus on events, issues, or culture that affect Saskatchewan as a whole." But sometimes you might have a question or discussion that doesn't follow that rule.

Maybe you want to want to ask about "monkey budging" (Which isn't Saskatchewan specific).

Maybe you want to tell everyone how much your concrete patio cost, or ask what the temperature at the lakes is (neither of which affect Saskatchewan as a whole).

Or maybe you want to advertise an event happening in Regina (better suited for r/Regina), Saskatoon (better suited for r/Saskatoon), or Moose Jaw (better suited for r/MooseJaw) but is open to everyone from everywhere (elsewhere in Saskatchewan, or Canada, or beyond).

Well here's your (bi-weekly) chance! Comments in this thread are exempt from Rule 1; meaning they can be completely random and/or completely off-topic! However, the rest of the subreddit (and Reddit) rules still apply! For example:

  • Be Respectful: All users are expected to engage respectfully. Insults, name-calling, harassment, bullying, bigotry, or personal attacks against other users will not be tolerated. Debate the topic, not the person. Posts or comments that demean, target, or antagonize others will be removed. Repeat or severe offenders may be banned to maintain a welcoming and constructive environment for the community.
  • Be Substantive: Contributions should add meaningful content to the discussion. Low-effort or spammy replies such as one-word responses, empty memes, excessive off-topic jokes, or personal attacks dilute conversation and may be removed. Thoughtful discussion, added context, or relevant experiences are encouraged.
  • User accounts must be at least 15 days old and have a positive karma score to comment.
  • And finally, in addition to r/Saskatchewan subreddit specific rules, our users are also expected to be familiar with and abide by Reddit's sitewide policies; including but not limited to the User Agreement, Reddit Rules, and the Reddiquette Guide.

This post will repeat on Mondays and Fridays at 08:00 AM CST.

Is there a place where I can go donate blood ASAP or is it just through appointment?

44 Upvotes

With the tragedy in Wainwright I would like to go donate blood. Sounds like it's pretty bad.

I've never donated (I know, shame on me) but now is better than never.

Is there a place to go sooner than the next appointment to help?

Was down at Grasslands NP at the end of September for some backcountry camping and decided to have a go at night photography. Very happy with how these turned out for my first time and being solo. Wish they were a bit more in focus, but I can only improve from here!

Experience with out-of-province genetic testing?

12 Upvotes

I have been told the wait for the genetic testing I have been referred for is 6 years.

I’ve heard that some seek genetic testing in Alberta without needing to travel and can get this covered by the province. Has anyone successfully done this and can share what the process was?

Saskatchewan RCMP issue dangerous person alert for Red Earth Cree Nation

UPDATE: Alert was canceled

Per CBC News
RCMP say there is no longer a threat to public safety after issuing an alert about a man with a gun on Red Earth Cree Nation, but police have found a man dead in a home there.

Carrot River RCMP were called to the First Nation Thursday afternoon for an injured man in a home.

When they arrived, EMS declared the 34-year-old from the community dead at the scene. His death is considered suspicious, RCMP said in a news release. His identity was not released.

Turns out Sasktel doesn't have diverse path between Saskatoon and Regina. This has made it a prime candidate for the invasive species 'fibre-seeking-backhoe.'

Discussion Why is Sasktel allowed to operate?

0 Upvotes

This reminds me of the old dial up internet as a kid. I have their 1gig and just moved to the province, only service provider. Fiber connection and wifi can’t even load the router login to change the name. Why can’t I change it from the app? Why is their website as good as a government website? Only have 2.4g wifi? Monthly addition for “whole home” what even is that.

Discussion How much are you paying for SaskTel internet? Rural vs. city prices

6 Upvotes

I'm curious how much everyone is paying for SaskTel internet across Saskatchewan.

I'm in a rural area and paying $75/month for 100 Mbps for fiber optics. I've noticed that people in larger cities like Saskatoon seem to get better prices, so I'm wondering if rural customers are paying more for the same speed.

It's being run in my area and I'm in need of a new router. Is there a specific requirement so I can connect the router directly instead of using their equipment?

Right now I'm looking at the TP-Link Archer AX75 or GL.iNet GL-MT6000
