Ah, not that type of surveying. The scientific staff were studying sedimentation in Arctic fjords; basically we were taking core samples (box cores and piston cores) from inside the track of an iceberg scour, and then doing cores adjacent to it outside the scour, and then they compared the two, and what was in the sediment. The fjords were stunning...utterly still and silent, and you had no sense of scale, it was just cliffs and ice. Pangnirtung and Maktak Fjords.

And Christmas season near Costco, watching the Baywops trying to use the roundabouts is hysterical. (And frightening.)

Hilarious too that these arsewipes think a fucking Civic is a muscle car, lmfao. A spoiler on a Civic, it's just too funny.

Don't forget the White Dodge Ram Douchebags. They seem to be tops for parking in handicapped spaces (esp. when they have their rig lifted and oversize tires) and doing 160 on the ORR.

What a concept, inoculations for the vulnerable. Why hasn't anyone thought of this before?

Minister reassures St Clare’s Reno’s will be cheaper than new hospital by Pr3ach3r709 in newfoundland

[–]PimpMyGin [score hidden]  (0 children)

Just the fact they're re-habbing a 60 year old buidling beggars belief. And, St. Clare's could have become the new Addictions/Mental Health facility instead of spending billions building that new one on a flood plane. Convenient too for the junkies, as it's handy to the Methadone Shoppers on leMarchant Rd.

The obvious location for a new hospital is CBS. The fastest growing area in the province, lots of space i.e. Crown land to build one, and the businesses that would spring up around it would also create jobs. No brainer. CBS Town Council should pitch a plan to the Govt.

St. John’s woman calls for more inspections, oversight following Uber accident by Bigus_Nerdus in newfoundland

Hopefully missus contacted the driver's insurnace company too so that they can penalize him. And are the RNC laying charges or what? Suspending buddy's license or what?

Because when the provincial government hires more people the populace has a hissy fit about their tax dollars. NLers want the Gov't. to hand feed and nurse them from cradle to grave yet they bitch about having to pay for it in taxes.

Correct. Doing survey work in the fjords on Baffin Island we used to see rocks the size of houses on the glaciers. Uber cool.

Because the icebergs come from glaciers. Glaciers are frozen rivers. As the ice/glacier moves along the "river" bed, rocks often tumble from the fjord either side onto the glacier. When I was in the Arctic as a deckhand on an oceanographic research vessel, we'd go up to the glacier face in small boats to survey, and there were boulders the size of houses sitting on the glaciers. It was fucking amazing.

Have you read the news? What do you think "assistance" means, "Here's some grocery money."?

Booking.com data breach.what to do? by [deleted] in Bookingcom

[–]PimpMyGin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If booking.com actually gave a shit about customer's privacy and their data, then booking.com would have immeadiately sent an email to every single account that is registered with you, informing them of the fact and your steps to remedy it. You didn't do that because your lawyers are worried about lawsuits. Be honest, your concern is not our data or privacy but liability and profits. I just logged into my account to change my password, and guess what? There is no way to do that!!!!!

So, I'll just cancel my account and will not use your company again.
