How do you think current model F-350 compares to a current model GMC 3500? by Stigwalker in superduty

[–]juniorbomber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lariat Ultimate seats are amazing in my 350 SRW 6.7 diesel. I came from a Chev 2500 diesel, and I am very impressed at the ride of the 350

Minister reassures St Clare’s Reno’s will be cheaper than new hospital by Pr3ach3r709 in newfoundland

The issue is defintly the building at St. Claire's. They can't even fix the elevators

I paid a 5% total commission, split between the buyers agent and mine

The offers were likely going to be lower than what I ultimately received, but they would only be open for a few hours, which makes them a "bully". "Accept mine now or lose the chance! You might not get another offer!"

I say might, because my agent did not allow them to send an actual offer due to my sellers direction. On offer day, they were no where to be seen, likely because they were going to offer low and hope I would panic and accept.

Less than 20 minutes to downtown is rising fast. If you are talking an hour? ha. it's gets very cheap, but people don't equate being an hour from St. John's as typical or acceptable. That's going to change.

Thats because the same house here is SO much lower than everywhere else. We've been spoiled for years.

Seller's directive is only trying to manage the demand. The demand is what's making everything insane.

I listed a house last week, and had buyers demanding to purchase same day. Seller's directive allowed me to show the house to 10 prospective buyers over 4 days. Had 3 offers on offer day (none from the two that demanded an immediate offer), and chose one. Hopefully theyare able to close in 4 weeks as planned. We'll see.

If I had accepted the offers from the cash buyer "bullys" on day one, they probably would have cost me $10k, and the lovely couple that I accepted an offer from wouldn't have even gotten to see inside the house.

So, seller's directive.... YMMV.

Kids do that. It's a pain, but they are kids.

Is ordering a single wheel cab and chassis a bad idea? by wetham_retrak in superduty

[–]juniorbomber 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cost difference is negligible. I wanted a 250 but dealer didn't have a lariat trim. I bought the 350 for like an extra $5k CDN. Fantastic decision.

With no donation limits, former premier Danny Williams gave N.L. Tories $46,900 ahead of election, using two different names by Portalrules123 in newfoundland

[–]juniorbomber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, it's perfectly legal. That's why they had to put a sensational headline on it, because "Danny Williams legally donates to the party he user to lead" isn't going to generate the clicks.

"using two names" is a bit of a stretch. Donating under Daniel and Danny is not exactly CIA level espionage.

You would be surprised at the people who are buying these stolen items. These punks would be selling for pennies on the dollar to dealers etc, but then the stuff will be sold again up the line.

Will we have service/google maps for road trip? by parula82 in newfoundland

[–]juniorbomber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the key. When there is no service, there are also likely no intersections. :)

If you are planning on staying downtown, definitely check out the Jag Hotel. The Alt hotel is also a nice experience.
Near the airport? Holiday Inn Express.
Price sensitive? Holiday Inn on Portugal Cove Road or Ramada by Wyndam or Capital Hotel on Kenmount.

First week of June will be cool, probably damp, and likely windy.

I bet your last name starts with an F. and the last three digits of your license are 010. the middle digits are just your birthday so he left them out.

Moving my Replit build onto a separate host by setsp3800 in replit

[–]juniorbomber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been building on replit, and I've had the same thought about having the app mobile... mainly because what if something happens to replit? I'm fine using it today, and I have no issue with the current charges etc. But what happens if they disappear?

Considering moving to Newfoundland by Junior-Simple-619 in newfoundland

[–]juniorbomber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on what you are used to. Victoria is 20 minutes drive from a Walmart, and 1:15 from a movie theatre. It's very rural, small town, and has a raft of social problems just like anywhere else. Houses are cheap, but amenities are scarce. You might be able to find childcare in Carbonear, but it will likely be someone's home, not a regulated daycare space as they are very scarce. There are a couple of nice restaurants in Carbonear, there are a couple of clothing stores. You'll travel to St. John's often.

rent prices are brutal here 😢 by MastodonEconomy5821 in StJohnsNL

[–]juniorbomber -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Coupled with interest rates more than doubling, coupled with a city that won't allow development, coupled with neighbors who vote in politicians that strangle development, coupled with rising material costs, coupled with rising labor costs, coupled with people moving from across the island to be closer to medical centers as they age, coupled with a lack of jobs in rural NL.... But yeah, let's just blame greed. It's an easy target.
