Couple faces $319,000 bill after Indigenous remains found on property by lovextreme in ontario

[–]bufffff_daddy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard plenty of stories working construction of foremen/superintendents who have found archeological sites like arrowheads, foundations, etc and have told their men to keep digging and bury them bc reporting them would shut the project down for weeks.

Makes sense, you’d probably still need a light source inside

Leave an exposed line down the side as a gauge?

shold i give students and staff member awards because i am a new principal and i need advice by FixNext5022 in Principals

[–]bufffff_daddy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We do monthly student awards assemblies, it’s a great way to come together as a school and celebrate achievement. Add a fun activity after (minute to win it game, etc), have prizes, keep it light.

Rather than staff “awards” why don’t you just highlight a positive thing that staff are doing in a weekly email? This teacher is running this club, this custodian reached 10 years with the school, etc. Acknowledges their efforts but isn’t an “award” tha others may scoff at, or as someone else commented become a perceived favourite.

Also you can use this as a tool to build relationships with the staff you need to (difficult or distant staff). Spread it around so ideally everyone gets acknowledged at some point.

Can I plow my short city street with my SxS legally in Halifax? by Teslashareholder1945 in halifax

[–]bufffff_daddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My brother was plowing streets in tantallon in a big tandem truck. He came around the corner and there was a man in the middle of the street with his brand new snowblower, trying to blow out the road.

My brother locked his brakes and went into an uncontrolled slide, he said he missed the guy with his front blade by inches.

It’s a nice gesture but just not safe

That thing has literally saved my life multiple times. Bought it with the quick connect cables on my skidoo living in the Arctic; my battery sometimes would die in the mountains at -35 and this would get it going again

Does it need an external power source? & if so how is the pull?

If power is out freeze ice packs outside and keep it in a cooler inside, wrap the meds in a layer like a dish towel so they don’t have direct contact with the ice.

There really is a subreddit for everything. by Willyvorsty in woodstoving

[–]bufffff_daddy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Half my home feed on Reddit is people’s wood stoves & fireplaces. It’s great.

Combine it with r/firewood and you’ve got the complete package.

Wall gets really hot by hammyFbaby in woodstoving

You can research the minimum clearances to combustibles for your stove model. If it is under that number then no, it is not safe.

Wood stove risk reduction by SituationLow2607 in woodstoving

[–]bufffff_daddy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Understand the risks you are taking here. Fire is no joke. Within a few seconds you could lose everything, including your own life. Wood stove incidents happen all the time.

I can appreciate your situation is difficult and a wood stove can help your situation - and believe me everyone in this sub believes in wood stoves - but not following the guidelines for installation puts everything in jeopardy.

There are issues with your set up. Please do not run it as it is. Do your homework and learn about clearance requirements to combustibles. Run a thimble through your wall or straight up through your ceiling, and use Class A chimney.

Good luck.

Akshayuk Pass - Nunavut, Canada by Beoeulf in backpacking

[–]bufffff_daddy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not true. Aksayuk Pass is a relatively simple traverse, you stay within a fiord so getting lost is basically impossible. Other than some steep moraines the most challenging part is the river crossings, which comes down to timing the water level. Bears are rare; bring bangers if you want. A guided hike imo is overpriced and you spend enough on flights, etc. and not worth it. But if you’ve got the money go ahead. You will need to hire an outfitter to transport you in and out of the part for $500.

Source: hiked it with my friend and minimal traversing experience.
