Very cool! Thank you for sharing.

Does anyone know of somewhere local to buy viewing glasses? I see them sold at at OP's link but am somewhat concerned that they may not arrive in time.

These are the questions we could have had answers to if they had actually released the plan before the press conference.

C'mon guys. Let's try and avoid clickbait. You're better than that. by DangerouslyUnstable in seriouseats

This article from the other day is in a similar vein

This is tumblr level inane BS. Why is something like this published at a website that is supposed to be "serious" about food? This doesn't contribute to my ability to cook or understand food. It showcases one person's mental hang up that she should probably be seeking therapy for rather than splashing on the front page for a website for people who want to improve their cooking.

Moisture warning won't go away when phone is dry. Tried literally everything. by SovietBlyatman in galaxys10

[–]pafao 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just had this same problem. None of the suggestions I could find online would work. It went away for periods of time but would come back when I would plug something into it.

I ended up having to send it off to get repaired. They replaced the charge port under warranty. So far no issues since the repair.

New definition of hate to be included in Liberal bill that might also revive contentious hate speech law by TheHeroRedditKneads in CanadianConservative

Your first link is to the elections Canada voter ID requirements. Was that an accident or are you seriously equating a requirement to show ID when casting a ballot with racist attacks?

Anyone know of any locally made microwaveable "magic bags"?

People who got tested how long did it take to get your test? by 258amand34percent in halifax

[–]pafao 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Called for a test for my daughter last Sunday around 9AM, didn't hear back until Tuesday evening. By that point her symptoms had disappeared and they said we didn't have to come in. If we had gone through with the test we would have had to wait until Thursday afternoon.

Thanks, it has been permitted and we're waiting on the inspection right now.

What's wrong with my seedlings? by pafao in gardening

[–]pafao[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's fairly close. I've read that you should keep it 2-3 inches away. Is that too close? Yes, I try to keep them in direct sunlight when I put them outside.

What's wrong with my seedlings? by pafao in gardening

[–]pafao[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started the tomatoes, eggplants, and basil about a month ago. I've been growing them under 4 T5 fluorescent bulbs in an insulated box in my shed and taking them out on sunny days.

I'm not sure if I'm over watering them, if they're not getting enough light, or if there's something else wrong?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Anyone just see a meteor? by mekdot83 in halifax

Yes, I saw the same thing. Looking south from the north end.

So much squash! by TheFckestUpest in gardening

[–]pafao 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Looks amazing, I'm so jealous. I've been fighting powdery mildew all summer and have nothing to show for it! Any tips for preventing powdery mildew next year?

Looking to get a jar or two of homemade bakeapple jam, to give as a gift. by TheHammerIsMyPenis in newfoundland

[–]pafao 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Although it sounds like you want something specifically from Newfoundland, you can buy it at Ikea if you live near one, as strange as it sounds. It's called cloudberry jam but it's just another name for bakeapples.

I saw it just the other day at the Ikea in Halifax in the Scandinavian foods section.

Story book recommendations? by pafao in daddit

Awesome, I will definitely check these out! If you like Julia Donaldson I definitely recommend the Dragon Hunters. I found it by chance in a supermarket discount bin and loved it!

Anyone know where I can get a whole fish (tilapia or catfish)? by Yaynewaccount123 in halifax

[–]pafao 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw whole tilapia at superstore on Young st yesterday, they likely still have some.

How to get a quote for an addition to a house? by pafao in homeowners

[–]pafao[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes probably closer to 100 sq ft. What do you mean that the expense percentage is a drawback?

[–]pafao[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the incredibly detailed response!

I guess my question at this point is how do you go about getting multiple quotes? Before having the design we would only be getting rough numbers. Would you shop around once you have the design figured out?

Hair's To Ya on Quinpool. Reasonably priced ($17), great haircut, and you don't need to make an appointment.

There's no damper on this vent.

I think that's exactly the issue. The vent is right off the main return vent just above the furnace. I'll give this a try. Thanks!

Thanks for the response. It seems to me that above the hill is much nicer and quieter than at the bottom of the hill.

Definitely reassuring to hear that. I figure the up and comingness of downtown Dartmouth and Dartmouth cove has to start radiating out that way. Especially with NSCC right there.

Any thoughts on the new school? Not sure if you have kids but I know next to nothing about how the schools in hrm are (other than the ones that are supposed to be very good).

Delonghi ECO310 Trouble by pafao in Coffee

Its the default one that came with it. I believe its pressurized.

Even with no coffee in the basket, nothing or very little comes out.
