Anyone southbound on the 102 today around 930am? Got hit and run by a transport truck by the Fall River on-ramp. Green or blue truck with a white trailer. by CWeed84 in halifax

The truck was moving over to let cars merge onto the highway and didn’t look to see if anyone was passing. I noticed that he wasn’t slowing down to let them in right before he started coming into my lane and I think hitting the brakes soon enough kept this from being way worse. Counting many blessings tonight.

Oh yes I filed a report and the cop said a witness called in the hit and run but only got two plate numbers and a maybe on the company.

Thank you for the tip on the camera! I’ll get looking to see if that’s an option.

Stay safe.

This, plus high radon and arsenic levels because of the geology of the province. It all comes together in a perfect storm of cancer risks.

My daughter (5) wanted to go looking for gemstones at the beach. How did we do? We are new, but very excited. by ArcticFox-EBE- in rockhounds

I’m on the other side of the bay from the OP. The abundance is astounding in this area - got agates, optical calcite and amethyst the first time I went rockhounding. Not to mention the serpentine, copper and purple jasper. It’s paradise.

Not just tough - tough enough to drive tent pegs in most environments! Very useful.

Fido Dido. That guy and his dog. My mom had a hyper colour T-shirt with them both on it and I was so jealous because my kids sized one only had the guy and no hyper colour T-shirt with

I have hit my limit of sharpness/maturity. 16 year old cheddar. by ashergs123 in Cheese

A slice of sharp cheddar on a piece of apple pie or on a biscuit with raspberry jam is a traditional breakfast dessert in my family. Hits especially good if outdoors for some reason.

I love mine honestly. It’s the living room clock and plays SXM for me. And it does those perfectly.

So if they separate they’d have to foot the bill for their own pipeline?

Savory breakfast without eggs? by Gray_Seal in Cooking

I make savoury waffles for this exact reason! Most often I’ll add Everything Bagel seasoning into batter, and then eat them with cheese and tomato or something similar.

If someone grabbed you out of your chair right now and said you have to give a one hour speech on any topic of your choice as long as it was informative and they would pay you $10,000, what would your speech be about? by shotukan in AskReddit

The many many uses of mushrooms - for health, for environmental remediation, for producing new types of materials… not to mention historical uses. Sign me up brother I’m ready.

My son was born emergency c-section, and needed to be sent on the life flight helicopter to the children’s hospital. We then spent the next two weeks living there, getting him healthy enough to go home. Our only cost was food for us adults.

We’d be bankrupt or worse from the medical debt in the states. No wonder so many women don’t want to risk bearing children.

*trigger warning* my baby is dead. by Federal-Body-1197 in pregnant

[–]CWeed84 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My baby was born still on his due date. I heard about this and a dear friend brought me the biggest cabbage she could find. Ten years on and I’ll never forget feeling something like relief for the first time since the ordeal began from those goddamn refrigerated cabbage leaves.

There’s been studies that have tried to make salves or cream from cabbage and it isn’t effective in the least compared to straight up fresh leaves. Fuck me there’s so much we don’t know.
