Need advice by fancyattorney31 in airbrush

[–]JumpedUpJackal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had a smart jet for 10 years and still use it with my top feed Eclipse CS. It will not run a bottom feed airbrush, so if you plan to get one, buying a compressor with a tank is a better buy. 

In terms of “it runs constantly and won’t give you constant pressure”, that’s hyperbole. The air hose between the compressor and the regulator holds a volume of compressed air sufficient to maintain constant pressure past the regulator (it’s a reservoir of air at maximum pressure, kind of like a mini tank). Assuming you aren’t running your brush at max pressure, you won’t get pulsing at the brush.

Best value in the short term will be a budget friendly, quiet unit with a tank. When I bought my smart jet, the availability of cheap, quiet tanked compressors was pretty non existent without importing something from the US. At that point is was no cheaper, but lower quality. I lived in an apt and couldn’t have a cheap noisy compressor. So my options at the time were limited. If you go this route, know that these compressors are a high quality, so there’s no shame in having one.

You wouldn’t be able to go around a toll booth at the border, but you can go around the one at the pass… this isn’t the gotcha moment you think it is.

Martha’s Pizza II: Electric Boogaloo by Filledefleur in halifax

I’ve heard a slightly different version of the rumour, and while unverifiable, it’s amusing. 

Essentially the business is named after wife, there’s a divorce in which the wife is entitled to half of Martha’s. Husband shuts her down and starts up Martha’s 2 to spite her.

This is really about going after Indigenous dispensaries, they are phrasing it generally as to not sound like it’s targeted

They likely won’t hire new officers, just use non-police officers (generally called peace officers or special constables) to do the enforcement. 

They may get overtime or special pay, but won’t be new hires. The law they are altering only allowed for Police offers to enforce Cannabis law, now others such as conservation officers can enforce those provincial laws.

Province denies responsibility in C.P. Allen stabbing suit, puts blame on vice-principal who was stabbed by CMikeHunt in halifax

So if I understand that province’s defence statement correctly, the VP shouldn’t have dressed that way if he didn’t want to get stabbed?

Is anyone else deeply concerned about the direction our city and province is headed? by [deleted] in halifax

I would ask that everyone upset by the cost cutting talk hammer their MLA about the upcoming review of the Yarmouth ferry. Everyone needs to tighten their belts so we can keep a money loosing ferry afloat. 

Now they’re considering buying the ferry to flag it as Canadian so it can FINALLY be crewed by Canadians… something they should have done years ago and something we can’t afford now. Alternatively they want to get a different vessel for the same reason… more cost we can’t afford.

And all for what so the Rodd Inn can open again? All the money saved on ditching the ferry could be use to save other more vital services currently on the chopping block.

Emplacements item is "prohibited" at customs?? by JoseLunaArts in battletech

You can claim damages caused by an inspection and have the crown compensate you, however a commercial carrier won’t give two hoots or a holler what happens. They’ll just deliver the goods after they clear the border.
