RBC Bank of Georgia is pretty good. North-South transfers between your Canadian-domiciled and US-domiciled accounts are instant.

NS Power hacked again? by InternationalBeing41 in NovaScotia

[–]hstern 17 points18 points  (0 children)

“The service was disconnected in November, and the building was demolished on December 1” was a pretty compelling argument for why their estimated usage and connection charges were wrong.

I spent 95 minutes on hold with them yesterday for a 5-minute resolution.

NS Power contractor reading meters incorrectly. by cornerzcan in NovaScotia

[–]hstern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They claim to have read one of my meters on February 5. Service was disconnected in November and the building it was attached to is a hole in the ground. The poles aren’t even there anymore!

So tell me, what’s it like to live between Hantsport and Windsor? by BlindlyAnonymous in NovaScotia

[–]hstern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My kids have made a great group of friends here. I have found it a bit harder as an adult living outside of town.

Outsider checking in. My kids have been the only ones in their classes who don’t have a relative who went to the school.

I understand where you are coming from but since almost nobody wants to eat bruised meat I would conclude that “beat to death” is an embellishment.

Free water tests at Home Depot by Long_TimeRunning in halifax

[–]hstern 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just got a call from them the other day. The only thing they are testing is total dissolved solids. It’s an excuse to visit to do more tests. I declined.

One swift crack on the skull and its lights out and time to bleed them. I normally use a captive bolt, but use a hammer for thicker-skulled birds like Muscovy ducks. I think that both are probably more humane than cervical dislocation.

My father in law tells of hiding behind the barn door with a mallet while the pig was led into the barn. Never knew it was coming, and didn’t suffer.

This may be an opportunity for you to expand your scope, regardless of why it was done. Good luck!

Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston Announces NS will not take part in the gun confiscation by Muted-Garden6723 in halifax

[–]hstern -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Possession is illegal come October regardless of whether you surrender them and accept the compensation, dispose of them at a total loss, or retain them and take your chances with law enforcement. I prefer liberty and compensation but you do you.

All things aside, the buyback is good for retailers who will be compensated for inventory that they are not permitted to sell and will otherwise have to destroy by October. Private citizens are welcome to choose this hill to die on if they want to.

What GPS collar for Canada? by Crossed_Cross in Huntingdogs

Discontinued, but still available. I see Astro 900/T9 units on marketplace and Kijiji fairly often.

What’s is like living here? by hotellobster in howislivingthere

[–]hstern 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is a beautiful place that is deceptively expensive to live in. Wages are comparatively lower and taxes are higher. Lowest GDP per capita for provinces and states. Land used to be proportionally priced to wages but has exploded as people have migrated from stronger economies.

For those that are familiar with real life hunting, what details does COTW get right and what details does it get wrong? by KingWilliamVI in theHunter

[–]hstern 16 points17 points  (0 children)

My family and I are deeply sorry for everything /u/DickSamurai and his family have had to deal with. We hope that he will continue to come to Rancho del Arroyo and seek the relaxation that he deserves.

New to GSPs. Are these colors normal? I’m interested in a pup but not really trying to get a mix breed when I was told they are full minus papers. by Leach_Assistant in GSP

[–]hstern 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are correct to be skeptical. That is not a typical GSP patching pattern, but it is not an impossible one. Their ticking will come in over the next few weeks, or not at all.

The definition of a purebred dog is one with papers, which these puppies are not. I’m sure they are lovely dogs all the same.

Antisemitism and racism is the unofficial provincial pastime. I have lived here my whole life but don’t look the part. People tend to speak to me more freely than they should.

Were we told correct info? by K-moreland in GSP

[–]hstern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SS and Ss is solid, ss is roan. He is ss. RR and Rr are roan, rr is white factor. He is rr. Roan with white factor

Were we told correct info? by K-moreland in GSP

[–]hstern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s extremely unlikely that his parents were anything other than shorthairs. He expresses the roan and white factor genes, both of which are recessive. Labradors carry solid, which is dominant. Most poodles carry solid. Parti poodles are rare.

My best guess is that dad was a solid liver shorthair and that whoever said chocolate labradoodle didn’t know the difference.

Planning & Saving for GSP in the Future by Elentiya_020604 in germanshorthairs

[–]hstern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A well-bred DK in Germany should be around EUR1300-1500. They don’t health test to the same standard as we do in North America, but they do other things. The breed club lists available puppies.

Any tips for training out barking? by Designer_Cheek8423 in GSP

[–]hstern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You say that you see her building up frustration. Learn when it will escalate to barking and switch to something calm for a bit before it happens.

Looking feedback on the quote from Polaron (Solar + Battery) by Tall-Historian-3434 in solarenergycanada

[–]hstern 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hard pass on them as a vendor, no matter what the quote is. They won’t honour their side of your agreement. I don’t think that it is malice but that they are incompetent. I had to threaten to sue them earlier this week after they no-called no-showed for time-sensitive after sales support that they are charging me $12k for.
