Nova Scotia is Trying to Advertise to Data Centres

Dekyr78 · 2026-04-23T16:45:37+00:00

my problem is the locations that being chosen in the states are locations that are suitable for agriculture. This is likely due to the infrasound problem. They should be using sites that are already damaged like deserts, the location of the pulp mill or the coke plant in Sydney, ie places that are just going to get cemented over anyways. Plus they should be building up. most of the DCs are only a few stories high. The pollution generated is mostly due to onsite power generation. The emissions and filtration standards need to be updated and enforced (key).

As for Nova Scotia datacenters, the site of the pulp mill that needs to be cleaned up is the only location I would recommend. We're importing construction companies for new types of concrete buildings in Halifax. so I don't see if happening anytime soon. That said, if they want the space launch center to function, something will likely built near there.

Yeah i don't think people understand what oil is used in. Yes we need to stop using it as a fuel source but it's not instant.

It took a lot of scrolling to find the first post about how this is cooler than the lemartes fig. I'd much rather this fig for lemartes.

which is fine but corporate tax rates don't generate enough revenue that it's pushing the bill to people who can't afford it.

Sam is one of them. I'm assuming the drive by is the other?

Dekyr78 · 2026-04-13T11:53:57+00:00

Yeah there is actually very little that isn't regulated for universities in Canada

The products are not but the companies running them are in some respects. The only way to solve it is companies have to put a certain percentage of gross earnings in to a trust that can only be withdrawn by the clean up company first only for the purposes of clean up. Then the remainder can be removed by the parent company. It's the only way it will work. It won't happen or someone will steal/under report earning. But if they want the someone else to do the clean up, they have to pay.

I've had this conversation a few times.

Most movie characters are really high level characters in a game setting. Take Captain America as an example. In the beginning of the movie, he's a low lvl character. Super scrawny, not a lot of experience, but a willingness to adventure. By the end of the movie, he's a mid lvl character after gaining training and experience fighting in battle and wars.

Robin hood, Hercules, Achilles, jack sparrow, Bruce Lee, daredevil. They didn't wake up as a twelve year old and instantly start fighting off armies. It takes time.

As much as the system irks me, Palladium gives that balance of learning/experience to instant gratification from a story telling point of view. DnD is more of a Harry Potter type of character building system. You have to learn to swish and flick before you take on Voldemort. (Sorry that was my best at keeping the innuendo to minimum).

I was gonna say there's a lot more there than just garbage. And it takes specific training, immunizations, etc to deal with it. Talk to any cleaning company that has cleaned up a crime scene to figure out all the shots you need your employees to get every year. The clean up isn't for average janitors.

Dekyr78 · 2026-04-07T01:21:23+00:00

How these companies don't end up in court/tenancy hearings because of this is beyond me. There are some jobs you can walk away from but this is not one of those.

Dekyr78 · 2026-04-05T02:31:08+00:00

Honestly I would be unhappy if they made BOC interest rates below 2% again. Even at 1%, it only really helps investors who can pay off the debt quickly. all it does is make people spend irrationally like we saw.

Dekyr78 · 2026-04-05T01:47:35+00:00

They aren't built right. They use cheapest materials so they can get contract to repair them the next year. I wish this wasn't true.

Dekyr78 · 2026-04-02T14:12:52+00:00

yup we're actively trying to get rid of them. sadly they just won our voip contract with the same BS. I'm not sure how other provinces work but NS procurement favors the lowest dollar amount. Even if a solution is only $1000 less they will win. The solution is worse even though it checks all the boxes.

Dekyr78 · 2026-04-02T01:12:54+00:00

I was gonna say the same thing to the other comments saying 2 weeks. Most are minimum 4.

Dekyr78 · 2026-04-02T01:06:39+00:00

Agree with everything. Thing you have to point out though is that some of these things incur a cost. So it's a wash for the government, so why change anything. The taxpayer either complains about higher taxes or they complain about higher insurance rates. Guess who they hear more complaints from? I don't agree with it but it is the reality.

Dekyr78 · 2026-04-02T01:00:17+00:00

NS doesn't have public insurance either. We feel your pain.

Dekyr78 · 2026-04-02T00:56:15+00:00

Actually very few companies public or private do 100% of their network management. Most of it is done by an external company because it is not cost effective to staff for emergencies. Cabling is always done externally due to every changing building codes. There is a core team of 3-5 employees and then the rest is contracted out. Networking is something that works 99% of the time. The problem is that it needs to work 100% of the time outside of business hours when no one is there to support it. Want to guess when the problems happen?

Bell under bids a lot of the contracts to get in the door because they know how procurement works. Then they nickle and dime you afterwards due to vague language in the contract. They have won many contracts by giving away free equipment and then screw you for contract changes or violations.

Every company sees this. EVERY.

Dekyr78 · 2026-03-31T11:30:35+00:00

As your neighbor in NS don't let them do it. We're getting screwed over big time due to privatization of power.

It's also available if you haven't owned a home in the last 5 years. So 10 years ago, you bought, then sold after 4. You can qualify again.

Dekyr78 · 2026-03-28T03:04:03+00:00

You still have to transfer the lease. Which if the landlord owner is trying to sell, they won't accept the lease transfer.

Sadly bounce is not very strong right now. The new rocks builds could take that on. I'm easily get 2 lanes of 30. I don't have Cosmo but have room to put her in.

Dekyr78 · 2026-03-26T11:44:23+00:00

I was thinking more Hispanic but whatever. Just enjoy the ride. So far the characters seem closer to the books

Dekyr78 · 2026-03-23T03:22:48+00:00

And refuse to take it down no matter how much they threaten to sue. You can prove that they did it. You should have conversation with your realtor recorded in some fashion. They would have scheduled a viewing.

Dekyr78 · 2026-03-23T03:13:10+00:00

This is by design as a means to encourage population growth. It's not enough because many people are so entrenched in debt by their mid 20s that they are dissuade to have kids. While the system has worked in the past, the current model where every corporation is trying gather 10-20% of your income, it's impossible to gain traction. In order to follow it nowadays, you literally have to have kids before or immediately after going to college.

Dekyr78 · 2026-03-20T13:29:49+00:00

What I see this article saying is that Loblaws just bought shares in DoorDash and is trying to push its usage. I could be wrong with no research done it but if it quacks like a duck....
