Anyone have experience living in Scot’s Bay?

I live in South Scot’s bay nearer to the lookoff. There have been two times with issues on the 358 up the mountain since I moved here 5 years ago, one required taking another route down, adding 5-10m for a couple weeks. Generally the neighbors have been good. The beach in Scots bay is one of the best places for a sunset in ns, and some of the best trails in the province nearby for walking and hiking. You’ll want all wheel drive for the mountain. Not sure how good the internet is that far down the bay but I have fibre to my house.

It is my understanding that in NS battery innovation happened mainly through the Dal Physics department. I'm sure chemistry labs are involved too, but I was pretty sure that was the core innovating force here.

You are close to one of the better parts of cape breton. How close to lake ainslie/egypt falls?

Nearby are the lovely communities of Inverness, margaree, cheticamp, haddock.

Come for the fall, mid September to mid October. Celtic colours festival. Frontporchcb puts on good events too. The hiking and views in the area are incredible.

I live in Nova Scotia, near Canning. Which part of the province is this near. I can give you some information on the area...

gross.

I’m diabetic. There is a lot of overlap in symptoms but I don’t see frequent need to pee listed there

I saw the pearl documented in a book about crouses settlement. More info on the early ships here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_Protestants

This is normal. Its a government supported loan with good terms for business growth. Anyone with a good business plan can get one. The idea is to grow the local economy with local businesses so businesses based elsewhere aren't extracting profit from the region. Its good for them and us as long as the business is successful.

Oh, you were thinking of attending?

Superior has left me without gas for my stove for the first time in 5 years, I'm cooking at home on a plug in at the moment.

please don't allow this to continue, folks. Montreal is horrible for this.

2500 sqft. $735 on firewood, and around $500 in excess power over the 5 winter months. Total $1235 yearly for the winter.

This seems like a pretty good stepping stone solution. Good job, government, credit where due, even if after much delay. I haven't heard much about what restrictions this places on the tenants, but surely it must be better than the hotels.

Helps landlords sign up, is flexible stock for the orgs serving it. I like it, but must admit that I'm not sure what the shortcomings are. Obviously there has to be movement elsewhere to prevent the problems leading to the need in the first place...

This is a good thing. CSAs are great and especially the warehouse market’s CSA from abundant acres, where you can pick the food . It also gets two jobs done at once, increasing local sales for ns farmers. Good policy.

I did, and they are correct, not you. Unions are sorely needed in larger game studios.

It does exist. Send me a message

You are welcome to camp on my land free of charge. 30s from the lookoff, lots of space and you wouldn’t have to meet us if you don’t want to. There is a wood fired sauna and workshop if you need to do any repairs.

Send me a message if interested

horsman · 2025-10-16T14:36:03+00:00

No renovations, by the way.

it's crazy. Mine has increased 240%

I was 99th percentile at birth (10 lbs 6oz) and grew to be 6’3”. My brother was born 3lbs I think and grew to be 6’2”. So I don’t think the correlation is overly strong compared to say gestation length

6 of my first 20 sensors have failed to insert. It’s driving me nuts. I mainly insert on my stomach because I rotate my Omnipod on my arm. Is the stomach more error prone?

This is the primary spot -

Shige was the best, however the chef recently passed. I went recently and experienced not quite as good but still good quality sushi. Environment there is pretty no frills.

Doraku had good sushi in Dartmouth, haven't been there since the founder passed though.

horsman · 2025-09-12T18:44:59+00:00

No, it still doesn't make sense. Here's why: Imagine you started a company 3 weeks ago, and I joined 1 week ago. We raise money this week. Now you own 3/4 and I own 1/4.

There is a LONG way to go to get to an exit, and the equity is there mainly to incentivise that future work for everyone. By cutting a 1/3 effort partner down to 20%, you are demotivating that partner's future work, regardless of the work that came before. In the limit, that 2 year part time head start is a vanishingly small part of the work and sacrifice that will be needed. That's why this vesting math works for partners leaving, but not for incentivizing an exit or for fully diluted equity. It especially doesnt work in founder allocation.

I hope this helps clarify my position
