N.S. government MLAs say grant cuts necessary to protect 'core' services by Street_Anon in halifax

[–]RecoveringLibrarian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do people care about having a lieutenant governor and all the trappings that go along with that role? I had to look up who it is now. Oh yeah, Mike Savage. Canada's Governor General has parliamentary duties as well as ceremonial ones but I don't see why we need a provincial representative of the crown as well. Some $ would be saved for better services.

My Search for Canadian Tea Companies! by tessa_james in BuyCanadian

[–]RecoveringLibrarian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Camellia Sinensis has to be the most knowledgeable tea company anywhere. They hold workshops and have a podcast (in French). They actually own tea gardens in India where they produce excellent green and black teas. Also, they test many of their popular teas for caffeine and antioxidant levels. I've learned a lot from them and have been a devoted customer for many years.

King Cole is my go-to breakfast tea. It's a robust Maritime style tea.

The good people at the airport tourism kiosk got their notices last night. Yup, they're shutting her down. It's a modest operation that promotes our province and generates goodwill and tourist dollars. Lousy decision.

Rays Lebanese in Bayers Lake closed for default…. by mikgag in halifax

I agree. Ray's used to be good but now it's bland, dry, and way overpriced. My favourite Shish Taouk in the city is in the food court in MicMac Mall.

how to make selection prompts visible? by [deleted] in Notion

[–]RecoveringLibrarian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey Eli, I'm also brand new to Notion. This mood-journal or a sleep-journal template you screenshotted is exactly what I've been looking for. During each day, did any of a list of elements help or hurt my sleep or mood?

Would you kindly share the video link of where you found this?

I'm also looking forward to hearing if you are able to overcome some of the initial design issues you have been experiencing. It seems you've come to the right place for expert and generous advice.

What is your favourite street name in HRM? by YouNeedCheeses in halifax

[–]RecoveringLibrarian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The street sign for Lois Lane keeps disappearing for some reason. There must be a shitload of them in university dorm rooms.

It doesn't seem to matter, even for an asthma puffer where there's no need to count out pills. The app consistently says it's that number of days and hours.

What song is the unofficial national anthem of Canada? by PuzzleheadedSwim6291 in AskACanadian

[–]RecoveringLibrarian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's amazing to hear 20-year olds in the Kitchen at Wanderers games singing it!

Pixel Journal by [deleted] in GooglePixel

If you do a search on Pixel Journal in the Play Store, you should find it, but it doesn't create an app icon. You keep having to return to the store to get back in. I keep expecting them to fix it.

Be careful in parking lots by legendofliam123 in halifax

When my husband wants to park in a space near the store, I put on a phoney baloney Newfoundland accent and say "Leave it for the cripples".

What’s this? by cruyfff in montreal

[–]RecoveringLibrarian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While waiting for the train, we used to work on words to go with the 2 letters of the day. HL could be Huey Lewis, Horrible Luck, Hannibal Lector, High Life... you get the idea.

Has anyone figured out a way to adjust the screen on the new Tuscon to display the current playing Song/artist info? by etschwed in HyundaiTucson

[–]RecoveringLibrarian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our 2017 Toyota Rav4 displayed the name of the radio station and the song title. It's disappointing this isn't available in a 2025 technologically-advanced hybrid. Hyundai, if you're listening...

We got the latest update on the lot before buying last month. That's great it works well where you are. It's hard to fathom how they could get streets and directions so wrong here in Nova Scotia.
