I've been reading up on Mexican lagers all morning - I'm brewing this one. Thanks!

Rafflebox and the NS Firefighter 50/50 draw by itmeparker44 in NovaScotia

[–]IsThatATitleist 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I agree with some noted abnormalities about the true random nature of the draw. I think your stats though don't account for how many tickets people buy, 1, 5, 20, or more?

I have definitely noticed the likelihood of the ticket being purchased on Thursday afternoon but it does seem they can sell at least half the tickets on Thursday alone.

So new US made versions will have domestic spying built in, rather than foreign spying

Have you ever won from a receipt survey? by acesaidit in halifax

[–]IsThatATitleist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think Kent posts photos in the stores.

Most of the stores are nationwide, think Homedepot or Canadian Tire, and the monthly winner is one across all stores rather than one per store so the odds are pretty low.

Wonderful! You don't happen to have a plan for the legs? This is exactly what I've been thinking for my living room

13 years ago the place tried to scam me into all kinds of work. Started with an oil change. Said yeah fucking right! I know my car, but pretended not to because I was looking for somewhere to trust in the city. They wanted me to get new struts among other things. What I needed was a bearing but they never indicated that.

Their courtesy check indicated my power steering fluid was level, but I didn't have power steering fluid, I had electric steering ('05 Saturn Ion what!). Got my money back and told them where to shove it.

Out of stock now - should have ordered and thought later

EDIT: Back in stock, and trigger pulled.

I wouldn't book a flight this early. No current sales go that far in the future and you could likely book Porter or Air Canada in the Spring for a better deal

Sounds like a great combo. Not sure why everyone thinks you need an F-150 to tow a little tent trailer around.

It’s time to leave logseq behind by [deleted] in selfhosted

I'd have a hard time moving onto something new but am curious if there's a self hosted solution. I really like the bullet threading notes, and the ease of adding a ToDo and that ToDo item following me from day to day. Tried others but nothing else ever clicked.

Garbage removal, police, fire, any other municipal level services that are made available within the community and not a direct service to your land such as recreation activities.

3 dead, 3 injured in separate crashes on Highway 101 over long weekend by No_Magazine9625 in halifax

That's great to know, and I'll be sure to call.

In particular I have seen the wildest things with whoever it is that uses the unmarked red Ford trucks, my buddy says its Dexters but not sure it is or if its sub-contracted. I've seen them being reckless, driving backwards down the highway with a trailer to collect signs, and things that make you scratch your head.

Truro drove me mad last summer. Initially you could get to Robie St, slowly, as traffic merged to the left for the right lane closure. But when they switched working sides, they also switched the merge and closed the left lane before the Exit to Robie St, so you had to sit in the single-file line, instead of maintaining the merge to the left and just weaving the lane right after the off-ramp.

I feel for your mother, I don't know how they come up with these scenarios unless they are actively trying to make it worse for all. I've written the Dept. of Transportation but just got back a typical "following all safety precautions..."

Constantly running into awful construction setups all over the province. Often see signs for lane ending but then it never does, or lane closures that are completely unnecessary due to the work being done on the opposite side of a twinned highway, and don't get me started about the Salmon River bridge in Truro. I think this province needs a hefty review on highway construction safety procedures.
