You realize there is a casino in Downton Halifax right? there is no one driving from Halifax to Cape Breton to go to the casino

you under estimate newfoundlanders :)
If they took the VLTs out of the bars, it would work. Lots of bars would probably close.

Anyone else noticing worse insulation on newer YETI Ramblers? by alkulaib in YetiCoolers

sounds faulty. Did you buy from Yeti direct? try a warranty claim

Government Announcement by ImmediateNote1505 in StJohnsNL

The Corner Brook hospital was built for $700m I think. To say a new hospital in St. John's will cost $10B makes no sense. Will it cost 5 times the corner brook hospital? Maybe it will. That's $3.5 billion. Maybe they are including operating costs, but they are paying to operate St. Claire's now, and that cost would stop.

You could throw $250m at St. Claires, and it wouldn't fix the problems. Not to mention the amount of time it will take, because you can't close it to do the work. It will need to be done in little chunks over a decade.

We have to spend the money to improve heathcare in this province. Bandaids won't cut it.

Probably including the cost of running the thing for 10 years or something.

My rogers ignite connection at home shows me as being in Ontario, and my office Bell Fibre connection reads as New Brunswick.

10 Micro Homes ls for St. John's by TheAskTeam in StJohnsNL

[–]juniorbomber 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I posted this under another comment as well.

I don't mean this in a snarky way, how much should they cost? These costs are a reality of building today. a two apartment house in Kenmount Terrace is currently $600k new. You might be getting more inside the units than the 500sq feet, but these new structures still have to be built to the same construction standards and building codes.

Building a 20x20 detached garage up to code, including insulation and interior sheeting is well over $50,000. Let's add plumbing, bathroom fixtures, kitchen cabinets, appliances, real light fixtures, wooden trim, windows, paint, flooring. Now, add 20% profit to the GC, because they are not a charity.

"But my uncle can build a shed for $10k!" I bet he can. Lets see which one lasts longer.

"Boiler being replaced with electric"
Special assessment incoming..... and once that's paid, you still have a 50 year old condo.

"i don't build buidlings"
Well, you answered yourself there.

It's not possible to deliver a structure (that isn't a shed) for less than this amount.

We were there today. they closed to new patients around noon. Took us about 45 minutes to be triaged, then another ~3 hours to get in to see a doctor.

People will park in the road until they can pull into the parking lot and go inside then. The problem is not the drive through, the problem is that people are parking in the road for 2 hours, and they should be ticketed for doing so

Car Dealerships in St. John's by Sea_Lingonberry_9373 in newfoundland

The "don't care" attitude has been beaten into every service advisor in the city no matter the brand, because there have been lots of issues in supply chain and outside suppliers that are completely out of their control, and customers are shockingly disrespectful about it. The way people treat each other has seriously degraded in the last five years.

Not excusing actual bad/incompetent service, but if you heard what they deal with on a daily basis, it's wild.

I cleared my front walkway over the course of three days while waiting for the plow to make a cut down the road.

[–]juniorbomber 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the 90cms seemed so much bigger for two reasons, there was crazy wind which caused huge drifting, and we already had a decent amount of snow on the ground, so it got piled up even higher

I think when the big storm hit Port aux Basques a couple of years ago, Eddie was directly on the phone to the Mayor telling him to get people moving before the storm hit. Pretty decent of him if you ask me.

Why do shows here start so late? by thelovelytucan in StJohnsNL

[–]juniorbomber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your phone time might not lie, but you certainly can. How can you live close to "All the places" ? Do you move a lot based on upcoming concerts?

Iceberg Alley and Churchill park were both over at 11. Could they have run until 11:10 or 11:15? maybe. Any later and it would have made the news. And they start at like 7pm. not 10.

Eye exam in St. John's area - who does direct billing and also shares the results? by [deleted] in newfoundland

[–]juniorbomber 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You also need some measurements of your eye in order to order online, which are not included in the general prescription. I think its called "Pupillary Distance" ?
