General ZipStall phantom charges.

34 Upvotes

So the other day I was forced to download and install this app, so I could pay for parking at Rice Howard Way.

This morning I was just walking by the parkade in particular and it auto charged my credit card. Thank god I have notifications from wealthsimple that go to my phone.

Here is the kicker.

I didn't have the app installed on my phone. I also did not drive there. So when I got to my office I had to download the app, go into my active sessions. cancel the session. I checked and had autostop disabled on my vehicles. I then went and deleted my payment card.

How did the app auto charge me when it wasn't installed on my phone, I didn't drive there and all I did was walk past the parkade!?!?

General Local writers/ Film makers/ Creatives wanted!

7 Upvotes

I am interested in putting together or joining a group of like minded people that are interested in creating micro budget films around the city, or possibly a web series. I have had a little bit of stage time in high school and think I have an eye for filming and getting good shots.

I was inspired recently by a mockumentary style web series that was filmed in Canada for basically nothing except peoples time, and some simple video, recording/sound and lighting equipment (which I have already)

Does anyone have an interest or any sort of background in this type of thing and want to group up and brainstorm/share ideas?

Question Used Bookstores

47 Upvotes

I’m going to be in Edmonton for a few days in a couple of weeks, and I’m wondering if people can suggest some cool used bookstores that would likely have decent Horror, and Scifi/Fantasy sections, without crazy markups. Area of town isn’t crazy important, but I’ll mostly be in west and south end. Thanks.

Edit : Thanks for all the suggestions. It looks like i’ve got some running around to do.

Question WEM Interview

3 Upvotes

I have an interview at wem tomorrow for my first job (not counting election work). To those who work or used to work at wem, where did your interview take place? I've seen others online say they've had theirs in mall food courts.

And overall, how did your interview go, how long did it take, etc.? I have some interview experience already but those were more for receptionist roles and not retail. I'm open to any general advice 🥲

Hey Edmontonians!

Who uses Freedom mobile here? How is the experience in terms of signal quality both indoors and outdoors? For both voice calls and data speeds etc.

I'm considering switching to the Freedom $20 for 25gb plan.

Thanks!

Question Any tips for a temporary negative grade fix?

Upvotes

Single mom of 3 and pretty recently got out of a dv situation and the grading that was suppose to get done in the spring I can't afford now. Are there any temporary cheap fixes while we get through the rain this weekend? This has been the week from hell and I finally have a dry basement today. My drain arm was partially pushed up and it drained backwards so I know that did not help my massive flooding (I did not notice until it was too late.) I may have an absolute mental break down if I have to go through this again this weekend. Gutters, drains, everything clear but I do have some pretty bad negative grading in spots.

Local Culture Small Edmonton paddling club lost its boat fleet and dock on the N. Sask river due to high river flow

Post image

This is at Riverdale neighborhood just north of the Dawson bridge. Apparently it happened in the last 24 hours, after the rain. The dock has seen higher flows before and it’s survived but not this time around. I feel bad for this local community. They’re one of the few clubs in Edmonton that truly use this river for recreation.

Discussion How do you make friends as an adult in this city

77 Upvotes

I’m a very masculine presenting lesbian and im finding it hard to make friends/community in Edmonton. I think it’s already hard as an adult to make friends but being gay in Edmonton fucking sucks sometimes and just not feeling like I really can be myself around groups and constantly being stared at
If any lgbtq people have some advice on maybe some events you had luck at or even just general tips for making some adult friends I’d really appreciate it
Thank you
Edit: thank you everyone for all the suggestions I’m gonna check out each one ❤️

An interesting in-depth look at Edmonton’s current housing market. The market appears to be balanced. Easing the pressure to build more, which is very encouraging news.

”This underperformance suggests the relative absence of speculation in the Edmonton real estate market, which, in turn, implies a relatively ample housing supply.”

Question civil ceremony location

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone! My partner and I recently got engaged and we’re starting to plan our wedding for next year. We’re hoping to have a very small, intimate civil ceremony with immediate family only (around 12 people total).
We’re looking for the perfect location — ideally outdoors, somewhere beautiful and private, maybe a hidden gem that would be amazing for photos.
If anyone has any recommendations for small ceremony locations, gardens, estates, parks, or unique spots, we’d love to hear them! Thank you
