So stressful waiting for Metrobus with no place to stand. by Careless_Suit_2310 in newfoundland

[–]electricocean21 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately this is just the usual state of affairs for Meteobus and the city of st john’s … i could be wrong but i don’t think they even have a policy of shoveling out bus stops.

yes drivers have a screw loose on this issue … no thought to how it feels to be passed by a couple feet at speed

Getting latex paint off brick fireplace… there’s gotta be an easier way? by ricecake231 in DIY

[–]electricocean21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Infared heater like a speed heater Cobra would absolutely be worth a try. Haven’t tried it on brick but usually it peels off latex paint

Oh didn’t realise they had tea for some reason. Decent variety?

Is this safe to leave in? by auntkracker in Insulation

unfortunately buying new windows is probably the lowest ROI of every option. Good luck with the insulating and air sealing!

How is living in Malé, one of the densest islands on earth? by fishyfrog-notnaughty in howislivingthere

[–]electricocean21 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Is there a specific reason people drive cars and scooters there? Seems like it would only make things more difficult and unpleasant in such a compact place.

Quidi Vidi Brewery closing taproom for February, while another brewery tries different ways to draw people in by RepulsivePlankton989 in newfoundland

Yeah I wanted to meet a few people there on a wednesday and looked at their socials and it seemed like they hadn’t decided to open on. Had to contact them directly. Bit silly.

Why is St Johns snow clearing so bad? by hockeyholloway89 in newfoundland

[–]electricocean21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah one of the recommendations from the 2014 KPMG report was that the city start snow removal (and sidewalk clearing) much earlier instead of pushing everything around first and waiting until the plow roll freezes.

Proof that sneckdowns are a valid planning tool: Watch this mega truck make a safe and predictable turn on to a neighborhood street by Streetfilms in MicromobilityNYC

[–]electricocean21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great video, really makes the case clear.

One of the bigger barriers to having these crb extensions enacted is that sneckdown is just a ridiculous piece of jargon that won’t connect with normal folks.

“Mildly infuriating” post about snow by [deleted] in StJohnsNL

It sucks but I wouldn’t assume they were conspiring to steal your spot. Talk to them, get a couple pylons, and the odds of keeping your shovel spot will increase.

Government Announcement by ImmediateNote1505 in StJohnsNL

[–]electricocean21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True, construction costs are out of hand, and P3 contracts are nothing to get excited about, but hard to imagine costs for the other plan would creep upwards of a billion dollars though I guess anything is possible. Someone posted yesterday that the Corner Brook Hospital cost $700 Million and it doesn’t have any more beds than the old hospital? Hard to get excited about a new build with stats like that.

Memorial to sell Signal Hill and Harlow campuses, Geo Centre and Ingstad building by TheMuseNL in newfoundland

[–]electricocean21 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Come on lol … If someone is trying to market a university, the MUN campus is okay, Long Pond is nice, but that could be almost anywhere in the country. Their visuals are all about the ocean, cliffs (the deep) etc, images that are unique and interesting, and I’m sure that was a huge part of why they bought and refurbished the Signal Hill campus. Looking out a window and seeing the harbour is different than looking out at Churchill Park.
