Original Title: Edmonton Bike Swap is May 11 at MacEwan University North Side 10803-105 Ave NW. We hope to continue helping thousands of Albertans with transportation security, prevent the sale and purchase of stolen bikes as Bike Index Ambassadors, and we're doing a bike drive for Sports Ce

Just in case this is tl:dr Edmonton Bike Swap is on May 11th at MacEwan University. But, if you have questions then please read below.

First, we'd like to thank Edmonton Reddit Moderators for allowing us to promote our non-profit bike swap event once. Full disclosure that we have a $2.00 admission that will be used to repair the donated bikes. More below.

Why we do what we do - we’re Chris and Laura and we didn’t feel safe buying or selling bikes online so we founded, fund, and operate Alberta Bike Swap a non-profit that provides a safe place to buy, sell, and donate bicycles.

If you have a bike to sell we’ll tech check that bike and run the serial number through our software to verify bike ownership because no one wants to buy a stolen bike.

Want to buy a bike? Stand in line, suggest no later than 10:00. IF you can pay the $2.00 admission that $2.00 will go to repair the hundreds of donated bikes.

Have a stolen bike police report? All the bikes will be entered into the swap by 1400, please come to our event at 1400 so that you can see for yourself that your bike isn't in our event. The police and RCMP have seized bikes from online sales and pawnshops based on what we do, and insurance companies use our paperwork as proof.

We added children's bikes to our events because it helps families.

We work with over 30 groups to rebuild donated bikes too and have over 80 partners that help us help others. We work with every group in Alberta, except one: .

We're doing a bike drive for Sports Central to help them. If you have an unused or have outgrown a bike we have a partner that would recondition that bike for re-use.

Municipalities spend millions on cycling infrastructure, but nothing on cycling education. We fund legitimate cycling education through CAN-BIKE, which is the only recognized cycling education program in Canada and there are only four (4) CAN-BIKE cycling instructors in Alberta. Want to learn how to safely and proficiently?

We can’t put our events on without wonderful people like you and we thank you for reading this, hopefully putting up our poster, and maybe following us on social media on LinkedIn, Twitter, FB, or IG.

The swaps are run from our kitchen table by just the two of us, we do the best we can to help as many people as we can and every bike counts.

One of my favorite sayings.

Linux clipboard app which has functionality to paste multiple things after copying them in one go. in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] JCSpark@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

I use Diodon. I've set it up so that copy is CTRL+C, Paste is still CTRL+V, but what I call "Super Paste" is SUPER+V, showing a list of the last 20 items that were copied, including images.

Great utility, especially paired with FlameShot.

The only thing is that the Super Paste always pastes unformatted. Not a big deal, but something to consider.

til: Benford's law: real life number are not evenly disribued, 1 occur 30% of the time in c/til@lemmy.world
[–] JCSpark@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 years ago (3 children)

This is a bit weird. I was just listening to Infinity 2 today (great book. Totally recommend), and there's a section where the characters use Benford's Law to prove reality. I then had to look it up myself.

Just a super weird coincidence...unless Lemmy is listening to me...

What operating system do you use on your main computer? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] JCSpark@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

Linux Mint 21.2. it's a solid OS and supports all the games I like to play. I started and ran a business on it as well, so I have no neee for windows anymore besides proprietary software and hardware. I just dual boot in those cases.

TIL that a 28 year old Russian man went to the doctor for coughing up blood and having chest pains. The doctors diagnosed it as cancer, but it turned out to be a fir tree growing inside his lungs. in c/til@lemmy.ca
[–] JCSpark@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The amazing 'discovery' was apparently made when they opened up Artyom Sidorkin, 28, to remove what they thought was a serious tumour.

Mr Sidorkin had complained of extreme pain in his chest and had been coughing up blood. Doctors were convinced he had cancer.

"We were 100 per cent sure," said Vladimir Kamashev, a surgeon in Izhevsk in the Urals. "We did X-rays and found what looked exactly like a tumour.

"I had seen hundreds before, so we decided on surgery."

Before removing part of the man's lung, the surgeon investigated the tissue.

"I thought I was hallucinating," said Mr Kamashev. "I asked my assistant to have a look: 'Come and see this – we've got a fir tree here'. He nodded in shock. I blinked three times as I was sure I was seeing things."

Medical staff said that Mr Sidorkin must have inhaled a seed, which later sprouted into a small fir tree inside his lung.

The spruce, which was said to be touching the man's capillaries and causing severe pain, was removed.

"It was very painful. But to be honest I did not feel any foreign object inside me," said Mr Sidorkin. "I'm so relieved it's not cancer."

There was no independent verification of the surgeon's claims.
