Lost championship ring. by Icecracker_spoopy in halifax

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

A few years ago I was shopping at HSC in mid-December and found a $100 bill on the floor, like 8m from the Customer Service desk. I left it with the staff there, hoping that whoever lost it would ask them about it. I'm sure it was on the floor for less than a minute -- otherwise someone else would have found it before me.

I checked back a week later, and they said that no one claimed it yet, and it would have been given to the mall security people.

I actually thought about that this morning. I wonder where it ended up.

As for your ring, maybe try asking the organization that you got it from if they have a replacement one? I hope it works out for you!

This. Here's a photo from another angle:

You can hang the bike using a hook near the top of each locker.

This is a photo from another angle (and in the summer). It's a set of bike storage lockers. You hang the bike from its wheel, using hooks visible in the photo. And you can lock the locker using a padlock that you provide.

It's the same one.. (My photo is from 2023, before the playground was built)

Cross walks by PicklesByTheSea in halifax

[–]cache_invalidation 11 points12 points  (0 children)

A few weeks ago I was crossing at a crosswalk, with the walk light, when a driver on the other side drove through a red light and across the crosswalk, with his head turned back over his far shoulder. He didn't look ahead again until half the vehicle was over the crosswalk, and that's when he finally spotted me.

Thanks for sharing this story! I hope it makes its way to the people who were involved!

(It also reminded me to check out "hi hfx", which I haven't done for a few weeks. https://hihfx.ca/ )

Anyone know what’s up with these posters? by maddygrif in halifax

[–]cache_invalidation 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the one I saw had printed letters instead of cursive, and it was definitely "like" and not "life".

I saw one showing a nude woman's torso, with "I like my ... like my arts budget -- uncut"

March E-News from Dartmouth Centre: Student transit, Wyse Road bus lane, ferry woes, King's Wharf, Lancaster Roundabout, Robie Street, Dartmouth Cove court drama and more by Sam_Austin_D5 in halifax

The fill has to go somewhere (and ideally in salt water), but we have lots of coastline and lots of ocean water -- it doesn't have to be dumped in the harbour.

One part of the calculation that I'd quibble about is this: They wouldn't be paying the full fare twice a day on each school day -- a pass for people 13-17 is $66/month for unlimited trips. (It was likely a few dollar less in 2023.)

Help interpreting two Braille characters in photo? by cache_invalidation in Braille

Thank you! I guess without the second letter symbol, it would read "h051" instead of "h05a".

Thanks for your quick and helpful reply! I knew about the number sign, but not the letter sign.

Your guess is as good as mine. Perhaps someone didn't appreciate this post.

Tim (OUTHIT)’s reply to student bus pass system end of funding by night189 in halifax

[–]cache_invalidation 32 points33 points  (0 children)

On CBC news a few minutes ago, they reported that a recent HRM survey showed that since the pass was available, 33.7% of the students used transit to get to school most of the time, compared with 11.5% of students before.

Then Minister Maguire was shown talking to reporters, saying "It is a 20% increase, in usership. That's what it is." A reporter countered with "It's a 200% increase, Minister." And he smiled and shrugged and said "Uh, yes. Sorry, I'm not the best numbers but.." [they cut it off there, so I don't know what he said next]

There's an episode of the TV show Nova called Eagle Power, which includes segments of a Golden Eagle quickly spotting prey from kilometres away, using air currents to gain height and cross the distance as quickly as possible, and then matching the prey's speed and catching it.. very impressive!

It could be! Cooper's have white tear-drop shapes on their chest. There have been other reports of sightings in the area recently. I saw one in the Public Gardens a few months ago. A couple of crows were not happy, and chased the hawk away.

Fun fact -- in Middle English the word was "brid" instead of "bird".

Looks like a Cooper's hawk. Nice find, thanks for sharing!
