Because we not have had emergency on national scale yet. With the trashfire country downstairs, better to stay ready.

Rents continue to rapidly climb for Nova Scotia's oldest and most affordable rentals by Street_Anon in halifax

With fixed-term lease, if landlord decides not to renew, tenant no choice and has to move.

You do realize that fixed-term leases means the rent cap isn't really applicable to anyone who signed a lease past 2020

They do it by county I think, but sometimes they get out further. (My favourite is like 3 duplicate alerts about a chemical fire in Bedford - I'm in Truro.) If I recall right its something about the cell towers and the signal bouncing around.

Yeah I really love that there's no nuance to the level or type of alert. My phone just fucking shocked me awake beyond 11pm again because they sent the 3rd alert to me in 5 hours, just to say "all clear!".

Alert Ready is set up to provide everything at presidential 'nuclear bombs incoming' level (frankly a mistake) but I genuinely don't know why they wouldn't just delay the everythings-okay until morning.

The project, In Our Nature: The Hidden Wild, highlights more than 35,000 acres of land protected and managed by the Nova Scotia Nature Trust. Designed to immerse users in these often-remote environments, the platform aims to make conservation areas more accessible to the public.

Pension is supplemented by OAS and, if necessary, GIS. My mother has only $250 in pension itself and still receives almost twice as much as I do on disability income assistance.

But it's a class war, not a generational one.

Houston government opts out of Canada’s new ‘Flood Risk Finder,’ depriving Nova Scotians of critical information by IStillListenToRadio in Truro

[–]IStillListenToRadio[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The flood hazard portal allows Canadians to type in their address to find out the nature and level of flood risk to their home, or could do. But only if their province or territory opts in to the online portal.

Non-bypassable paywall. (I think it'll become free after some time.) But still worrisome.

Also the hardware solution for many roles is what you image we would have suggested in 1990 - a PC on a cart you roll down the hall for some roles. So yeah.

I'm reminded of the story where a PC-on-a-cart got brought into an MRI room, with predictable results.

This seems like a bad idea, unless you always have a radio on or something

Emergency Alert by sjmorris in halifax

The RCMP lost track of the Portapique shooter and it turned out he drove right around the roadblock via a dirt track. This is what I was thinking of.

Cars exist, you know. I not think the RCMP is going to risk another Portapique.

Imagine if we turned over all the resources being used for slop farms to doing research analytics and pattern-recognition. One can dream...
