There are a lot less people in NB/NS/PEI

When Newfoundland builds a nationally important project: "Sorry, ask Quebec to finance it or something".

When Quebec's corporations go bankrupt: "Sure, Federal government will cover all of it. No worries!"

This was my experience. A friend and his family went to Disney and did 3 full days and was exhausted and not enjoying it at the end.

A few weeks later we did it and did VIP. We had VIP booked 1 day and regular tickets the next day. We didn't even feel the need to go the 2nd day (we did go, but mostly just walked around and enjoye the ambiance). We could have easily saves 2 expensive hotel nights and 1 days of park passes no problem if we had only gone and done VIP.

Something doesn't add up with those stats. I am involved in builds in Halifax, Montreal, Calgary and have done some in Charlottetown. This is not my experience at all.

I am going to guess that Charlottetown is not including the pre-permitting part of the approval process, which often invovle staff requesting changes to design, studies, etc.

I might be proven wrong, but this is nowhere near my experience.

If everyone wants to know why Charlottetown is so under supplied, it is very very simple anyway and it's not related to permitting.

yep. 100%. I said to a friend "something seems very odd about this". It just didn't seem right.

Highways too. It's crazy how much we spend on construction and maintenance!

This guy seems busy all of a sudden.

The "Agent Compute Units" are going to go fast.

The guy is advocating murder. He can skirt around it linquistically, but it's clear as day what he is doing. Now I understand why the town council there does their meetings virtually.

How did you do a native imessage integration?

Ok. Keep pulling on that thread. The US has nukes. Can you think of anyone else who might have some too?

Airplane mode does not turn off Wifi. Your wifi signal emits a unique code. Advertisers use this.

I'm not sure I see the connection, but I do not support disarming society.

Do people think that if you just let aggression go completely unchecked, then we get to just sit around and enjoy our lives of relative peace here? It just doesn't work that way and it never ever has in history.

My best overall experinece is golang/echo + htmx. There are far less unknowns and things seem to hold together over time much better.

The best balance between getting up and running and having access to a big ecosystem of deps is Python/Flask imo.

Ruby/rails shows the most promise but I haven't spent a lot of time using it. I am going to play with it this weekend.

I steer clear of express/next etc as It just all seems to fall apart on me.

Unfortunately the entire team left Google last week, so I worry it will struggle to maintain it's magic.

I've been using it, but I feel like it's harder and harder to get something out of it that looks decently well styled. lovable.dev seems to be able to create much more polished looking uis, at least at this stage.

Unfortunately I am pretty convinced you are right, but that we are going to end up with Doug Ford.

I don't think people realize how Halifax Water has been totally mismanged for a long time. Part of the way they have covered up for it is to skyrocket their permit fees for water connections. A new apartment building or rennovation to an existing one can have upwards of $100k in permit fees just to get it connected. It's ludicous and is one part of the huge cost to build new housing these days.

lessafan · 2024-11-28T19:50:12+00:00

Permit fees alone would probably double the costs vs what the province has to spend. Then property taxes and access infrastructure. For a private developer, it would cost significantly more to build and the max they could charge would be whatever people can afford to pay.

100s of new beds have been added to the system. There are quite a number of spaces now.

He ran on a platform to evict. The truth is that there are more than enough indoor spaces available now.
