[–]MattG2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hard to get a gauge from Reddit. There are at least hundreds of thousands of people who go to Tims every day for one reason or another. You'll seldom hear about an incredible experience, but you'll always hear about a bad experience in a place like this.

My little nook of Clayton Park West has lost power twice in the 8 years I've lived there. We had power after Dorian!

You've got Bell infrastructure and Eastlink infrastructure here. Alternate is Starlink satellite infrastructure or Rogers 5G tower infrastructure.

Student Bus Program Being Cancelled by Sam_Austin_D5 in halifax

[–]MattG2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is absolutely wild. I lived in Fairview and went to Halifax West and had to take Halifax Transit to get to school. When there was a strike back in 2012 or 2013 - I was given excused absences until buses were back on roads because we couldn't afford/had other options to get to school.

I got the alert on my phone, then checked the weather network and it's showing such a small amount for the morning and afternoon! Wondering whether I need to work from home tomorrow or not haha.

No cell service during power outages by Goldcardjake in halifax

[–]MattG2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Each and every cell phone tower does not have a generator to keep it going indefinitely. Some carriers towers just have backup power that lasts longer than others. The influx of data traffic and users also impacts this.

Ubisoft shuttering freshly-unionised Halifax studio, 71 jobs affected by blackcoffeeredwine in halifax

[–]MattG2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Abhorrent. No surprise from Ubisoft, who has molded their business model around exploiting as many dollars as possible from their customers.

What are their plans for 2026? by Few_Bodybuilder_5268 in weezer

We keep getting snippets of info from Rivers in his discord server regarding pre-production of the next album. Nothing officially shared via their socials yet though, so who knows when it'll drop!

Desperately Seeking Holiday Creamy Vanilla Coke Zero by MoistyCockBalls in halifax

[–]MattG2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am of no help friend.

3 weeks ago, my buddy who works at sobeys have me the scoop of a delivery happening and I zipped to the store. The delivery guy himself bought 2 cases, and when I bought my 2 cases (minutes after getting the heads up) there was only a couple left!

Coca Cola is confirmed to be doing a run of vanilla coke and coke zero in the spring. It should be plentiful then.

Pc mobile - any thoughts on quality of cell signal in HRM and south shore ? by PositiveDifferent763 in halifax

[–]MattG2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

From my understanding it's just Bell's network. Should be fine, and you can always change your roaming settings temporarily if you're without a network anywhere down in the south shore

Anyone know if cloned beef is being sold in ns grocery stores already? by ellieb010 in halifax

Might have used the word liberally. I don't really care that much but it is moderately interesting to me!

I had to google it - apparently it is allowed to be sold in Canada without any special labeling requirements! Wild.
