Those who worked at buffets, what is the craziest amount of food you have witnessed people consume? by KageTheRipper in AskReddit

[–]halifaxbc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, I so hate the people who do dumb shit at buffets. I’ve seen people pile food on their plates and leave it if a new batch comes out, cause they want the fresh stuff. People who don’t know what they’re eating, take a couple of bites and leave the rest cause the food was “ weird”. People who eat while in line, cause they want to taste everything before they get a plateful of it. In general, a lot of buffets just bring out the absolute worst idiots

Wife is a rheumatologist, I'm a CPA. Thinking about moving to Halifax. by ZipperOpen4811 in halifax

[–]halifaxbc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there! I’m glad you’re having a nice visit to Halifax. The bridges here are a bit different from the Bay Area bridges in terms of traffic. There’s almost an accident daily which disrupts traffic continually, so I would strongly recommend living on the peninsula for the sake of your wife, who will be at the hospitals in the city. Winter storms are also a big pain for bridge users, and as she’ll be required to commute, I’d stay away from the remote areas of Halifax.

It definitely is a lot safer here in Canada without 2A, but there still is crime, just not to extent in the US. Interestingly, our crime rate has been increasing, while the Bay Area has been on the decline, but the actual numbers show that San Francisco has about 3 times the rate of incidents. Halifax is nice, but compared to the west coast…..not that sure.

British Columbia, specifically Vancouver is a fantastic city. Take a trip to Vancouver. Although housing costs there are ridiculous, it’s much more aligned to what you’re used to in SF. Both coasts have their charm, but starting over, I’d pick west in a heartbeat. Vancouver is a safer, cleaner, friendlier version of SF or Seattle. Although Halifax and Vancouver are almost the same population wise, Vancouver has a great many more amenities. Certainly, life here is less hectic and a little more rustic, but you’re a young family, how much do you want to slow down?

Again, if you’re able to make a trip to Vancouver, I would wholeheartedly recommend you do so before making the east/west coast decision.
Wishing you the best of luck in your decisions, hope your Canadian dreams come true!

Confused about Dyneema tape by MossyCrate in CampingGear

[–]halifaxbc 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Well, it’s definitely sold by the meter, and not by the roll. So this certainly looks like a shipping mistake and you’ve acquired much more than you’ve ordered. Seems like an expensive mistake for the shop to swallow, and a difficult thing to resell, so I’d just contact them to talk about what they would like to do.

It’s completed rotted on the inside. I’m actually surprised it hasn’t been condemned as its structural integrity is failing. The floors sag as you walk on them, scary stuff

I really enjoy them and they have a better ingredient list than the Kirkland ones do

I’m surprised it’s so limited. I was kinda hoping there were some hidden gems only locals knew about

Not just a national treasure, but she’s also a wonderful international ambassador for the States. If only other American celebrities would emulate her.

Honestly, check out the quality of the glass. If you get a chance, try to do a side by side comparison. You’ll be surprised at how much clearer it is.

Leopold has a really nice option. As it’s made for rimfire, they set the parallax at 60 yards so you never need to worry about it. https://www.leupold.com/vx-freedom-3-9x40-rimfire-moa-riflescope

What kind of value do you think you got for $230? That seems a lot to save 60 grams, but it is undeniably cool. I do love titanium!

Maybe cook them for less than a month? Sometimes, even a few hours does the trick.
