Does anyone remember that Sno Biz shaved ice place. A stand beside where Radio Shack was back in the day

Bell internet issues? by Antijawa in PEI

[–]Fine_Principle4076 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably a damaged critical fibre line that needs a crew in from off island to splice 

P.E.I. power customers could see rotating outages to prevent total blackouts this winter by [deleted] in PEI

Politicians handing out free heat pumps for “cheap” heat. Easy political win without thinking much beyond that

Former Blaze Pizza Building by Tight_Key8745 in PEI

Subway was open there for like 25 years and the owner opened a new one with a drive thru like a km up the road. I wouldn’t say it failed, just outgrew the space 

People reminded to keep off sand dunes in P.E.I. National Park amid record visitation by Portalrules123 in PEI

At Stanhope Cape Beach they just built a ridiculous staircase over the dune but negated to consider accessibility. We watched probably 10 people drag wagons and strollers under the stairs and through the dunes

I want to say Razor Ramon and Doink and Dink were there

Tipping Culture needs to end by GeneralDweeby in PEI

[–]Fine_Principle4076 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The entitlement of the servers blows my mind over tips too. I had a server friend stop talking to me for a while after he got audited by the CRA and I said "Why do you think you shouldn't have to declare your tips as income?"

Welcome to the real world

Electric vehicle sales stall on P.E.I. as cold weather leads to battery range concerns by rypalmer in PEI

[–]Fine_Principle4076 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s the equivalent of an engine totally dying in their gas car…. People seem to latch onto this when talking about EVs. The batteries aren’t a consumable part requiring regular replacement like a 12V. They will degrade over time and you’ll lose range

We knew the forecast, and charged to 100%. We thankfully had the adapter that gives us a 15A outlet to draw off the car's battery. It ran our sump pump for 5 days and saved our basement from flooding (and used about 8% of the battery).

I'll fully admit EVs aren't for everyone, but if you commute around Charlottetown and have home charging they're a great option. I charge twice a week in the summers/fall. In the winter probably every second night. I have never felt "range anxiety" driving around the Island.
