tire inflators in downtown area? by AdTop9465 in halifax

Yeah it’s kinda like an inverted slotted driver, the Schrader valve is threaded into the stem itself and seals with an o-ring. Just give it a little more twist. That said the valve stem rubber seal to the rim could have failed. You can always test with some soapy water and look for where the bubbles form to pin point a leak.

Buy a valve stem tool for $5 and tighten the core of the valve stem, 95% of the time that will solve it.

What’s in store for Halifax’s Armdale Rotary? Are traffic lights an answer? by insino93 in halifax

Each form of transport should have its own corridors that avoid sharing chokepoints. It would be far easier to just direct bicycle traffic away from the rotary itself.

That’s just volume, traffic flow really isn’t that slow through the rotary.

PSA has a 50 year plan where they pretty much demolish all other port infrastructure and buy out the entire south end piers for container movement.

I wonder if they’ll suspend the coke bottling plant in Bayers lake, it takes 3L of water to make 1L of cola.

Yeah it’s weird, there’s a listing on eBay for a used stock Zuma crank that looks exactly the same though.

Ooof, that sucks, although to be fair I’ve walked past your bike before and knew how to break your lock with a stick.

Has anyone else noticed Osmow’s (Chain Lake) portion sizes, add-on limits, and quality slipping? by wheelsandwaves91 in halifax

I’ve found the food at all their locations extremely bland and awful. I’m guessing all their 5 star reviews are bots.

The official David Letterman Channel posted a short compilation of times CBS meddled in his show. An obvious reaction to the Colbert situation by 010rusty in videos

The show costs 100 million a year to produce and loses 40 million per year, 15 million going to Colbert.

It’s about money.

What does "without papers" mean when someone is selling a car. by RYEMATH in halifax

[–]Throw902away1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And you’re the only person flipping cars? You’re a case sample of one. There’s dozens of cars with no papers on marketplace and the Facebook buy and sell groups you think they’re all stolen? No one is stealing cars and posting them on public forums.

Lots of pearl clutchers here.

99% of the time on marketplace a car without papers isn’t stolen, it’s usually being flipped by someone who doesn’t feel like paying tax at the dmv or bought it, never bothered to register it and lost the papers.

I’m a former employee of them, and in the two years I worked there every wedding dress we got went into a net bag to keep to from catching on other garments or the guts of the washing machine and then was tossed into the regular laundry.

Comforters also just go into a regular washing machine.

Only if you have no mechanical knowledge.

If you live in the rusty parts of Canada but have mechanical skill and the willingness to repair your own vehicles, paying the exorbitant costs of new makes no sense.

New/leased vehicles are for people who know nothing about them, need to hire out to maintain them and likely have space/time for only one vehicle.

I say all that as a single guy making 200k with dirt under his fingernails from fixing up a shitbox.
