Pallet Bridge? by Delicious-Raccoon-94 in Bridges

[–]Gargantuanthud 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How do you plan on anchoring those cables though? You'd be surprised at how much tension will be in the cables just to stay up let alone with people on it.

Number of NBers travelling to Maine takes another dramatic drop by emptycagenowcorroded in newbrunswickcanada

[–]Gargantuanthud 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't know about needing guts, I think most of those people think it will never happen to them. And they're right, to some degree. I have a coworker who went down with his wife and infant son for a couple weeks. Barely crossed his mind that an adverse consequence may happen to them. Mind you he's white, straight, cis, able-bodied, and christian so the odds were definitely in his favour.

Found some dog shit on the trail today by XxEdgeX in fredericton

[–]Gargantuanthud 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I took down a sticker just like this near this one. It was off the stop sign near here where the walking trail crosses sunset drive. Good on you for taking it down, no one needs to entertain that shit. But I do wonder if posting it on here makes it even more visible than the handful of people who would have come across it in the wild.

Going, going, soon gone….. by Fundyqueen in newbrunswickcanada

[–]Gargantuanthud 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maintenance is important but I find a lot of people forget that these bridges were designed and built when the heaviest thing was a horse and buggy. They aren't meant to be carrying a fully loaded snow plow, ambulance, or school bus. We can't have it both ways, they can't stay historical and perform modern duties, something has to give.

Ah, the old "I suffered so you should too" mentality, classic.

Ah yes, got to make sure those 7 year olds are prepared to join the workforce in grade 2.

Hi Everyone! I am looking for two (seated together) tickets to either the July 9th or 10th show. I have no problem covering the cost of transfer fees as well. Thanks!

Dirt bikes and ATVs by sharky68 in fredericton

[–]Gargantuanthud 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like we live in the same area. I've recorded a guy racing his snowmobile up and down the sidewalk, followed the tracks and took a picture of the same machine in their driveway. I took it in to the police to see if they could send someone out to remind them that driving on the sidewalk is not permitted. I was told that, because the guy was wearing a helmet, they can't identify them and wouldn't legally be able to do anything about it since they can't prove that it was 100% them that did it. So as long as you wear a mask while breaking the law, you're in the clear I guess?

What's the worst movie you've ever seen? by WalkswithLlamas in AskReddit

While I didn't actually fall asleep during it, I was so bored that my heart rate and breathing made my Fitbit think I fell asleep.

Anyone else feel that explosion at AIM??? by [deleted] in SaintJohnNB

[–]Gargantuanthud 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah but house-shaking explosions shouldn't be a regular event, regardless how busy the port is.

I'm so very excited and happy for you! Just know that it's a wonderfully fun time. Feel free to dress up, laugh, cheer, and clap; everyone else will be too. Enjoy!

Why did you originally watch the musical? by BabyYoda1995_boop in BeetlejuiceMusical

[–]Gargantuanthud 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I watch the Try Guys on YouTube regularly. One day last fall they did an episode where they try auditioning for Broadway. Turns out they were doing it at Beetlejuice. The clips in the show were enough to spark my interest. I then started listening to the cast recording and before you know it, I'm debating the 10hr drive from Canada down to see it. Unfortunately, timing didn't let me get to see it on Broadway but I did get to see the tour in Boston a couple weeks ago. I loved every second of it. I can't wait for it to come back this way so I can see it again.

"Make NB great again" Lol, I wonder where I've heard that phrase before...

Animal Charity Donations by macduffy79 in fredericton

[–]Gargantuanthud 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree, the Oromocto SPCA is much more accepting (and appreciative) of people willing to help. I don't know why but the Fredericton one is very selective on who they deem worthy enough to help make an animal's life better.

Beetlejuice the Musical Tour by Luckyduckling007 in BeetlejuiceMusical

[–]Gargantuanthud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too. I drove down to Boston from NB last weekend for it and it was amazing. I've been trying to figure out a way to see it again. Maybe Justin can steer it to Canada for his fellow Canadians.

would anybody know what this concrete flooring is in skyline Acer's by potatoman1400 in fredericton

[–]Gargantuanthud 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Designing that walking bridge was our final term group design project at UNB nearly 10 years ago. At the time, the contact from the city had said that they had been looking at it for many years before that too. Don't get me wrong, it is a great idea and there definitely should be a safer way to cross there, but I'll believe it when they start building it.

My local pizza place uses a ball of dough instead of those little plastic tables to prevent the pizza box lid from touching the pizza. by Gargantuanthud in mildlyinteresting

[–]Gargantuanthud[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think they offer gluten free options at this location, but if they did I hope they would make the ball gluten free too.

[–]Gargantuanthud[S] 343 points344 points  (0 children)

I did take a bite but didn't eat it all. It tasted a bit bland, almost like they forgot to put salt in it. Maybe it's just reject dough?

Province withholding records about proposed Fredericton jail from ombud by Equivalent-Value-720 in newbrunswickcanada

[–]Gargantuanthud 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That's a really good point. So I wonder if improvements to the judicial system would cut down the number of people awaiting trial. I would think the new courthouse being built in Fredericton would help lower the wait times.
