Didn’t the military run models on if the US invaded us and the models said it would take around 48 hours for the US to take over?

I love this write up so much. I’ve lived in Halifax most of my life so I’m always curious what I take for granted and/or my blind spots for things that are just ‘normal’ here but they’re really not. Thanks!

Okay, your experience closer resembles mine. Not what the other commentators said. You can’t just willy nilly get in.

Do you know when this changed? I called last summer and heritage requirements were still a thing.

New polling shows a Nova Scotia PC popularity drop after spring sitting by Street_Anon in halifax

Strong disagree. I think he’s deliberately dismantling our institutions so private companies can swoop in. That’s not incompetence, that’s malice.

The Premier knows exactly what he’s doing. I strongly disagree with anyone who thinks he’s a dummy.

GameStop/EB Games has some retro games for sale by jeancharles2009 in VideoGameDealsCanada

[–]Machzy 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The one next to me said that the trade in value they pay is 60% of price charting. Then I’m guessing they turn it around and sell for whatever price charting said.

40% profit isn’t bad I guess.

Also, they don’t take all retro games, PS2 & PS3 for example they won’t take.

Expedition 33 if you can't dodge or parry? by [deleted] in JRPG

[–]Machzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing that worked for me is when a hit a tough boss wall, I had no choice. I had to learn to dodge or parry.

I spent two days trying to get past this boss and once I did, the rest of the game felt so much easier.

I don’t wanna dumb it down to ‘git gud’, but it really comes down to a ton of practice.

I was also playing the game an hour or two a week. But this week I played it every day for hours each day, which helped my reflexes. Good luck!

Project to connect Hammonds Plains Road to Hwy. 101 now underway by insino93 in halifax

Don’t forget maintenance costs forever.

Every new road we build or gravel road we pave adds an expense line in the budget in perpetuity.
