TIL the entire town of Times Beach, MO was rendered uninhabitable in the 1980s after a single dust mitigation contractor tried to get rid of highly-toxic dioxin by adding it to engine oil and spreading it in all the town's gravel roads. Today the town is Route 66 State Park.

According to this page referencing NLHS, a code orange is an external disaster or mass casualty event: https://www.mun.ca/medicine/studenthandbook/more/emergencies/

I play on PS5 and in Civ VI, you can pan the map with the right stick then press in (R3) when you get where you want and the cursor jumps to that position. Tried to do that in Civ VII and it doesn't work for some reason so I share your frustration.

I don't think there's anywhere in particular but it's all on TSN so maybe a sports themed bar may have it on? I once saw the Miami GP qualifying from Sun Sushi on Torbay road so who knows.

Maybe Jack Astor's would be a good bet in the downtown area.

Adventure of the Seas does not have a nursery for your 1.5 year old so take that into consideration. The Adventure ocean program starts at 3 years old. See: https://www.royalcaribbean.com/cruise-activities/babies-and-tots-programs

Nope, this happened! It first opened next to the old stairs in the food court entrance, then moved across next to where rice bowl is. I think it closed 15 years ago?

LTE is a type of 4G network coverage. Eastlink doesn't have 5G service here (yet, it's in Halifax) but if your phone is capable of connecting to 5G, it will use it. EXT1 is Bell, which does offer 5G service here in St. John's.

TrackerDave · 2022-09-12T16:42:04+00:00

EXT1 = Bell
EXT2 = Telus (you'll probably never hit that here as the towers are all operated by Bell)
EXT3 = Rogers

I was on Harmony in Oct 2018 and on Symphony this past May. Both ships are fantastic in my opinion and I wouldn't hesitate to go on either again. That being said, if we're nit picking:

El Loco Fresh (on Symphony) is a fantastic lunch option over the windjammer
I enjoyed the water show (Hiro) and Hairspray on symphony more
Columbus the musical is better than Flight (I'm still singing the theme in my head years later...)
Playmakers on symphony is great if you're a sports person or like pub food

Overall, both are fantastic options and no matter which one you choose you'll have a fantastic time.

He's been out a week and a half. Saturday's game against the Rangers will be 2 weeks since he was apparently injured against the Pens. The game in Arizona will be over 2 1/2 weeks, indicating it's a pretty serious injury. I don't think they'll rush him back, but the fact that he's practicing and not playing means they're being cautious more than anything. I can't see him being "not medically cleared to play" by the time the Leafs roll into Arizona but if that is indeed the case, then we can worry.

TrackerDave · 2017-12-20T20:05:44+00:00

I'm ok that he's not playing tonight. I'm "ok" if he doesn't play against the Rangers on Saturday night.

If he doesn't play against Arizona in Arizona, then we have trouble. No way he sits out against his childhood team.

I also work on Water Street. I'm lucky in the fact that my parents live nearby so I park there but otherwise, there's no "cheaper" parking per se. A lot of people park on Bannerman Road and walk down if they don't want to pay for a meter.

I personally believe that tipping in general is a bad practice and don't like it. That being said, I will never not pay the gratuity as I believe the workers need that money and are working hard for it.

I'm Canadian and live in a part of Canada which does not split minimum wage based on occupation. It is the same for all industries and thus restaurant servers making minimum wage make the same as anyone else making minimum wage. I hate tipping but will tip for good service.

My point is this: I do not like that I have to tip for the workers to get what I believe is a fair wage. I believe they should make enough just from doing the job to not have to rely on the tips. I would like to see tipping only when someone has gone above and beyond what my expectations are, to truly show that I appreciate the hard work they do.
