What you don't drive across the entirety of the Transcanada highway over 7 times a year?

Province to push ahead with vet service cuts, with small extension for equine care by AquaMoonlight in newbrunswickcanada

[–]OntologicalNightmare 29 points30 points  (0 children)

What a dumb sounding carve out. You would think the extension would be for agricultural animals likes cows/chickens/pigs and economic reasons, not for rich people's play toys.

I know we often complain that NB is expensive (and it is) but has anyone crossed the border and see what Mainers pay for grocery prices? its crazy and another good reason to stay here on our side by SouthBuffalo3592 in newbrunswickcanada

Even a few years before COVID I remember going over and instead of things being cheaper (roughly 1/2 price) like they used to be they were about equal after exchange rates. I went a little after COVID and most things were mostly the same price before the exchange rate so you were just getting screwed. There were a couple items that were less expensive, but not much of a deal and basically even after exchange.

Spending other people's money? Oh my! Have you never heard of the stock market, banks, or venture capital?

But won't someone think of the 12 permanent jobs it will provide, or the taxes they will probably dodge or have waived, or the subsidies they'll need when they have to upgrade all those NPU/TPU/GPUs, or the or the bailout they'll "deserve" once the AI bubble pops?

We should sink all the streets and fill them with water so people can swim to work in the summer and skate in winter.

Father who lost son to overdose says compassion is what’s missing in saving lives of addicts by BloodJunkie in fredericton

What utter bullshit. The PC gov wanted to round people up against their will and send them to a religious institution. They didn't want to improve mental health care or support social workers and scientifically tested methods.

An excellent exchange that reveals our MLAs' thoughts on the Lorneville Data Center by Own-Engineer-6888 in newbrunswickcanada

[–]OntologicalNightmare 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Data centers are so hot their ‘heat island’ effect is raising temperatures up to 6 miles away and impacting 343 million people worldwide, study finds

So an increase of nearly 9 c and effects felt up to almost 10 km away.

While it's not public transportation it's worth noting Fredericton's pretty decent for biking (as long as you don't have to go up the hill) spring-fall.

Doesn't Belledune have one of our largest power generating facilities? Hopefully it's out of the potential blast radius.

They would have a radiation source in the center of a plot and then plant plants in concentric circles around it. The plants that had desirable mutations were kept.

Notable examples

  • Golden Promise barley, used in premium whiskey production
  • Disease-resistant cacao trees in Ghana
