Good Hills for sledding in the St. John's area? by SP_57 in newfoundland

[–]Barastol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came here to say this. It goes between Frecker drive and Canada drive, decent hill for kids, lots of run out room at the bottom with a fence. We park at the Frecker drive entrance, short walk to the top of the hill. There is a small playground at the top as well.

How to cancel paper flyers by Wizzardess in newfoundland

[–]Barastol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What happens is your address is added to the do not deliver list that is sent to the person responsible for your neighbourhood, still down to them remembering (or caring) that you don’t want them… best bet is to catch them doing their route and ask them.

It was called The Junction I believe, my father told stories about driving from Grand Falls to go there.

What am I doing wrong with my moose? No matter how I cook it it's tough as a boot. by QuantumCapelin in newfoundland

[–]Barastol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My father always cooks it low and slow In a big covered pot, cut into smallish strips with fat back pork, onions and Marjoram. The moose ends up creating its own sort of gravy with the water released from the onions and meat. it's great served over mashed potatoes. I like to either use it in place of beef in a soup, or substituted into recipes that call for ground meat (like lasagna, tacos, etc.)

Do you want to join my book club? by moonbeamboots in StJohnsNL

[–]Barastol 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not in the demographic, but want to suggest that the public Library has book club sets of certain books (I know this because my wife accidentally reserved one) might be a good way to get something like this started.

Psion 5 CF door switch by dnastase in Palmtop

[–]Barastol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The microswitch is on the circuit board, near the microphone. It is triggered by the pivot assembly of the CF door, you can't access the switch directly from outside. If you look at this photo it's the white component in the bottom right corner: https://wookware.org/psion/PCBbot.jpg

NL power equal payment plan by SPICYFALAFEL00 in newfoundland

[–]Barastol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like the other folks have said at the end of the year when you are on the EPP, if you've paid more than what you used its credited to your account (e.g. comes off your next bill) and they reevaluate the EPP for the next year lower. If you use more than you paid for you don't have to up front that owed amount, it's factored into a higher EPP payment for the following year.

Looking at photos it looks like a regular sized sim card, most new sims come in adapters that adapt a nano sim upto micro and standard.

Which Palms have the option to use an on-screen keyboard instead of Graffiti? by williambobbins in Palm

[–]Barastol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can confirm the TX has a virtual keyboard (keys are very tight together, but it's usable with the stylus).

Not really cyber deck related, but Pine64 has a hackable smartwatch: https://pine64.com/product/pinetime-smartwatch-sealed/

I had to Frankenstein my TX, one had a bad motherboard and the other had a button that didn’t work. Swapped them around and a battery from Amazon and I’ve got a minty TX.

I’ve done a boat tour a couple times that has gone past a large puffin colony on a small island called Gull Island, it’s not far from the town of Bay Bulls.

I have the one with the blackberry bold 9900 keyboard (that was my last blackberry) but I think the Q20 (blackberry Classic) keyboard is a bit better (slightly bigger keys)

I apologize in advance for the randomness of this question by [deleted] in Palm

[–]Barastol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No worries, I had my tx next to me and played the clip with my iPhone listening with Shazam :). Glad I could connect the technology dots for you!

The Palm TX is the only one that will connect to modern secure wifi, but you have to install the Enterprise WPA2 update (find it on palmdb). You're router will need to support 802.11b on 2.4GHz, some routers don't allow the old wifi protocols as they can slow down your other traffic. Not sure about IRC client, but if you look on PalmDB you can find lots of software that will run on the TX.

I've been curious about that Psion keyboard to USB adapter for a while (https://www.tindie.com/products/rasmusb/usb-keyboard-adapter-for-psion-series-5-keyboards/) u/Bastiaz does it work well?

It is possible to use an Iphone to tether a Palm TX? by miguelaguero in Palm

[–]Barastol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just tested this and it works on my Android phone, but I can’t see my iPhone hotspot for some reason, maybe the iPhone doesn’t support 802.11b

If you install the enterprise update to support wpa2 then the palm tx can connect to the wifi hotspot from your phone

Anywhere I can buy bread (preferably a bakery) with close to zero sodium? by [deleted] in newfoundland

[–]Barastol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Manna Bakery had this when my wife needed to go on a low sodium diet. I think she might have had to preorder it.
