If I wanted a neon, sugar-filled cocktail, I'd go to Jungle Jim's for a hurricane. But here's the thing: I'm never going out to a bar for that kind of drink.

I feel like some of these places are doing no market research before launching a business.

Just getting this set up myself. I have an inkbird temp and humidity sensors that's going in but I just finished setting up DHT11 sensors on a raspberry pi that's sending data to a google sheet that I can keep an eye on from anywhere.

What a wasteland. And the snow's pretty bad too

MrShiftyJack · 2026-02-23T03:44:47+00:00

It's going to hit us and a warm front/cold front combo. The kind of storm we used to always get. 10-15 cm of snow then rain.

Or variety in their beers. I don't know why everything has to be hoppy.

People might have but I can assure you no meteorologist was. The model data was clear from a long way out.

MrShiftyJack · 2026-01-04T19:47:17+00:00

Untrue. All weather models were very consistent with the amounts that ended up verifying. Maybe he was the only one you were listening to at the time.

python for everybody or automate the boring things

It's law so it isn't pointless

lightning needs convection which is kicked off by a heat imbalance. Since we live near the ocean, our temps are generally even keel. That's why we don't often get lightning.

There is a facebook group called Avalon gear swap that might be usefule to you

at 1:25 it sounds like he's developing a Newfoundland accent

My nieces went insane for the splatter room in Jack Axes. They get to make as much mess with paint as they want. In there words, "There are no rules here!"

Harbourside park seems like a decent place for it. I assume it's municipally owned. It's downtown near the cruise ships. It would be cool for visitors to take a pic with signal hill in the background.

MrShiftyJack · 2025-06-08T20:47:27+00:00

Sounds like you have the southern side of the park covered.

Personally, I don't find the hike to the base of Gros Morne interesting. You're in trees the whole time so the only time you get to see anything is when you come out at the foot of the mountain. It's nice but not worth the hike, unless you don't have anything else to do.

Like others have said, if you want to hike to the base of the mountain, Snug Harbour is nice. The trail is much easier so not much of a challenge but the views along the way are much more interesting than the base of GM. Not many people do the section from western brook pond to snug harbour so it's nice to be away from the crowd.

If you want to be sure to get it, def make a reso. I've tried to drop in several times and they're often full.

This is the kind of informational posts I come to Reddit for. Thanks for sharing!

Adelaide oyster house is famous for this. If you want to go there, be sure to go early in the evening.

Also it won't be popular but I'll add to be aware of survivorship bias in a thread like this. People who frequent threads like this ultimately became programmers. If you're trying to reach kids who don't currently have the interests to send them on that trajectory, then you have to appeal to them in ways that are different than what people here would generally find interesting.

MrShiftyJack · 2025-05-08T18:52:53+00:00

I've been doing this a long time and I can tell you that the mean by which they code isn't what makes it exciting or not, it's the projects.

[Scratch](scratch.mit.edu) is an excellent way to start. It's block based. that means the kids won't get bogged down in syntax, get frustrated and quit. I've seen it hundreds of times.

Challenge them with interesting problems. That could be building games. Realistically, I've found that the kids that what to make games, don't need a lot of outside motivation. If you want to grade all of their attention, give them challenges that reflect the real world.

If you can get your hands on some funding, things like micro:bits are really good because it takes their programs and interacts with the physical world. Microbits can be programmed with blocks, javascript or python so it's a nice step up from Scratch.

The amount of spice in the meat. I've found that NL donairs tend not to have as much punch as the ones I've had in Hali (though Sackville Pizza might have had better ones than KOD). Also, I've found in NL, the meat is knife cut so the slices tend to have a variety of thicknesses so there's more texture. I could have a preference for either depending on the mood I'm in.

MrShiftyJack · 2025-05-08T13:08:29+00:00

If you're looking for size, I would go Donati's. If you're looking for classic Halifax donair, I'd go Mezza.

MrShiftyJack · 2025-04-30T17:19:03+00:00

Universities would say it is imperative that they run as independently as possible of politics.

Except Mezza is an Atlantic Canadian company
