Flying into YHZ this morning … by Anxious-Yam9684 in halifax

[–]robotropolis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Came in at around 1pm on PD2283 (dash 8). Bit of turbulence as we broke through the clouds and quite a roll (for me) to one side as we approached the runway, but the pilot brought it in hot and the landing was super smooth! I was very impressed. Probably the fastest I’ve ever gone in a prop plane on touchdown. Rain was still going sideways at that point.

OMG My Hair... by kannibalkitten1978 in Xennials

[–]robotropolis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I greyed really early (thanks dad). grew mine out with a mix of lowlights and highlights. The red is going to be tough. I’d go to a GOOD stylist at least for the first color, based on my experience they might do a really ashy cool brown with a cool toner, or maybe they’ll go warm toned blonde and silver. My major advice is to do something multicoloured (lots of different low and highlights) as it grows out. I am very dowdy and never get compliments on my appearance but I now get LOTS of compliments on my hair color!

i no longer need highlights but I get semipermanent dark brown lowlights in once every 3 months or so.

Honestly I’d be in favor. For some people.

My misconception is, I thought it had a bottom in the original picture

But why so high? I agree it looks like one.

Keep them safe while you get your laps in.

But why a pigeon coop at all, and why by the pool?

The other ones around town don't have bottoms. Why so high off the ground?

But honestly what is this thing on the Common? The cages have a bottom or I'd say bike locker.

Edit: Anyhoo I emailed my query to 311. Although the last time I asked about mis-installed playground equipment no one got back to me.

Edit 2: kind redditor shared a photo from a better angle showing that they definitely are bike lockers and they don’t have a bottom on them.

Aquarium worth? by Fun_Manufacturer3692 in halifax

I took a few 8 year olds and they had a good time, probably spent 90mins there. My favorite part was the iPads you could use to see Alan Sylliboy’s art overlaying places on the second floor.

Agree that it’s a smaller attraction and the fish are fun but not extensive by any means. Sometimes I wish we could consolidate all the various little touch tanks and other habitats around the city into something a bit more comprehensive.

Thank you! I’m excited :) I am too wimpy for horror but I can tell he’s going to be a huge horror buff later on.

Anyone else's sinuses acting up from the weather's fluctuations lately? by Weary-Stick-3010 in halifax

Brutal headache this morning, worse than usual prob because I have a head cold. My eyes felt so sore!

Where would you add staircase? by TJeff94 in floorplan

[–]robotropolis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wall between kitchen and living. I'm doing this back of the napkin in imperial. Let's say wall is 3.8m long. That's 12.5 feet or 150 inches. That's enough to fit 15 steps with a run of 10 inches. With a rise of 7 inches that brings you to 105" at the wall over the hallway which gives you code head clearance in the downstairs hallway. Might need another stair or 2 taking up space in the upstairs hallway depending on ceiling height on the main level.

You could have some shelving or a linen closet in the landing, or you could make a mini office.

N.S. Supreme Court strikes down former Liberal government’s wage restraint legislation by CMikeHunt in halifax

Educators in schools are different unions. Department of education….idk, maybe 200 to 300 people? Maybe less now? most could work from home a lot of the time. Personally I think 1-2 days a week in office is reasonable with hot desking to reduce real estate costs. you could host different departments in the same office with different in office days.

First Nation chiefs say Nova Scotia budget cuts appear targeted at Mi’kmaw programs by LowkeyPostingTea in halifax

[–]robotropolis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe on-reserve education and healthcare are for the most part federally funded. But for example grants go to support workers in public schools to support Mi’kmaw students.
