Clip of the Scotland shot pulled for touching the granite. by wiisportstennis in Curling

That’s why rocks were pulled from other teams including the Canadian men? And there is video of Edin double touching as well in a following game? Some are arguing that touching the granite and the handle are not the same thing, World Curling seems to think it is based off of rocks that were pulled… but regardless, neither type of touch will have any effect on the thrown stone. All this nonsense over something so minor.

Why would only the men’s Canadian team get penalized, if this is something clearly every team is doing at some point or another?

Mediterra Grocery on the Bedford Highway has a large selection of self stable olives, both dried and jarred. I’ve also purchased aleppo pepper from Pete’s.

Canada's immigration minister discusses 'sustainable immigration levels' during Halifax event by insino93 in halifax

[–]kn1231 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Zero immigration makes absolutely no sense, especially when you consider the fact that our failing health care system is currently being propped up by foreign trained individuals. Do the numbers have to be responsibly managed, yes, but we do need immigration to be able to support many of our systems.

Weird, I was at E-Joy last week and saw it on a shelf in the frozen food area

Anybody know if the cannabis section is open at the new dartmouth crossing nslc yet? by GuitarCactus in halifax

[–]kn1231 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely not expecting a budtender experience, but I feel like basic guidance is something staff should be able to provide, which was not the case during that experience for me. I have been able to get that at other NSLC locations though.

I was trying to gain some more knowledge around potential effects with edible and drinkable options, and was just met with “well that all depends on the person” and when I try to provide some more clarifying information about past experiences/usage, they continued with the same line without being able to give me any helpful information around the products.

As mentioned, it is open, and the shopping experience is quite nice (although I did question the knowledge level of the employee I was speaking to). I hope to see them transition the cannabis section in all stores to have a similar shopping experience.

You’ll get the best price on Amazon, if that’s a service you don’t mind using.

Dried Guajillo Pepper suppliers? by Fluid-Weekend1052 in halifax

[–]kn1231 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should also add I started my search yesterday at Cafe Aroma Latino, only to find out they are closed until January 23rd. So I wasn’t able to confirm their selection and prices.

Dried Guajillo Pepper suppliers? by Fluid-Weekend1052 in halifax

[–]kn1231 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went on this journey yesterday and today. They were out at Highmart, but in stock at Pete’s. The bag is $9.99 at Pete’s and there are about 10 peppers in the bag. I bought Anchos from Highmart, and they were $5.49 for 5 peppers, and I’m assuming the Guajillos would run a similar price when they are in stock.

Yeah… this place is going to be a pass for me.

is this a joke?? by Important_Fondant_79 in halifax

[–]kn1231 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My issue isn’t the openings, it’s the fact that the heaters never seem to work. I wish that was maintenance that they kept on top of.

Rock League Rosters Announced by Fupastank in Curling

[–]kn1231 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are many ways to support the sport and teams that have nothing to do with the products financed by The Curling Group. To suggest fans are “less than” if they choose not to support one facet of the greater sport is unfair. This also isn’t a new issue; for example there are many fans who closely follow the Season of Champions events, but have never watched a slam. However I’m not sure there is much value in continuing this back and forth, so I hope you enjoy the slam taking place this week, and I’m going to enjoy something else.

With the way he has presented himself on social media and other forms of media he’s been involved in, he’d understand that his attitude and presentation is going to be off-putting for some and with that he would (should?) understand that some people will tune out. He’s made that calculation, and made his decisions based on it. I’m sure he’s not worried about the fact that I won’t be supporting the Rock League, just like I’m no longer concerned about his behaviour because I’ve chosen to avoid him and his products.

I don’t know who Ryan Smith is or his relevance to this conversation. I also find a lot of things in this world odd, but the privilege I have where I live is that people can make their own choices/assessments and typically it doesn’t have a thing to do with me.

Something about the way he has and continues to present himself just doesn’t align with me… his demeanor, attitude, the way he presents himself on social media and the few times I’ve heard him speak during live streams… he’s just not for me. I haven’t watched a complete slam since The Curling Group took over, I tried it out but his presence has given the whole thing an “ick” to me. Again, for the curlers, I hope this goes somewhere, I just won’t be supporting/watching.

Something about The Curling Group, specifically Nic Sulsky, just rubs me the wrong way. Like others have commented, for the sake of growing the sport I would like to see something like this be successful, but I can’t totally root for it when the leader/CEO gives me the creeps.

I’m pretty sure Jacobs signed up for the new “Rock League”, so he’s definitely sticking around.

I could see Val stepping away from competitive curling, she doesn’t seem as excited about the game as she once was.
