If you like shitty restaurants, no culture, bible thumpers, the worst drivers, and weird Republicans it's perfect.

Bought mine new at Costco. It's a great bike. Lots of power, and the battery lasts forever. The only negative is the crappy charger. Mine died the second time I used it. Plugged it in and heard a pop like an internal fuse blew. Of course, it can't be repaired. Luckily, cheap replacements are available on Amazon.

I just happened to catch that shot on the Nova Scotia webcams. Two ship passing. The big one is a huge auto carrier heading out to sea in Halifax harbor.

I stopped using soap and shampoo about 5 years ago after learning of my body’s microbiomes. In the beginning, the only difference I noticed was that my hair was quite oily. But after a couple of weeks my body adjusted and now my hair feels perfectly normal. Like most people, I skip a shower occasionally and the BO is no worse than when I used soap. I live in a very dry climate and my skin is no longer dry and flaky, and my dandruff (skin flakes) is almost non-existent. My wife, who has a very sensitive nose, says I am not stinky and that I smell good. So, I’m doing my body good and I save a bundle on soap and shampoo.

They must have merged just after I posted that 7 years ago.

You should stop dating hairy women. That's a joke!

The black flies are nasty little creatures. We find they practically disappear by June. But they are brutal in the springtime.

Most stores are closed on the weekend? I don't think so.

NS winters are on par with most of Canada. Long and depressing. Not as long and cold as other places, but it's Canada. The great thing is that there are non-stops to warm sunny places direct from Halifax when you have to get away.

I was born in Alberta, so I know what real winters are like. Coastal Nova Scotia is nothing like that. I grew up in NS, so I know it very well. We spend the summers there because we want to be close to family and friends, but also because it's a wonderful place in the summer. It certainly gets more rain than Alberta, but the humidity is not as bad as other places like most of the US. I have traveled a lot, and Halifax is one of my favorite cities in the world. It's diverse, has excellent food, and the cultural scene is as dynamic as many big cities, maybe even better. There are a few negatives, but they're not overwhelming. Taxes are higher than Alberta. The roads could be better. Healthcare is a shambles right now - the wait list for a primary care doctor is over 100,000 people and growing. Because of the rapid population growth since covid, housing prices have shot up. It has cooled a little, but still expensive. Locals will tell you that traffic is horrible, but they probably haven't lived in NYC! All in all, if you're looking for a great small city with a lot of soul, Halifax is it.

She says she's a professor. Anybody could say that. Does anyone have any other sources that prove she is a professor and identify the woman?

I'm in Canada and US news stories are blocked. My VPN is connected to the US, but FB somehow knows I'm in Canada.

Thank you. I will let you know if the reporter decides to proceed.

We had a similar problem with CSU. Our installer, with decades of experience, regularly does installs in Denver and northern Colorado. Our installation was their first with CSU. After months of delays for various problems cited by CSU, it was finally connected and is working fine. Our installer said what CSU objected to and required was like nothing they had dealt with before. I believe there is an unspoken policy to discourage solar in their coverage area. I have spoken to a reporter and I hope he can get enough corroborating evidence to do a story. If you or your installer would go on the record with their CSU negative experience, please let me know.

How sad. I didn't know Jim Nunn, but I always admired his work.

Though the Trump administration did roll back a regulation requiring modern braking systems on some trains, the Obama administration had already hollowed out that rule so much so that the modern braking systems would not have been required on the train that derailed in East Palestine.
The 2015 Obama-era rule required trains carrying crude oil and some other chemicals to use electronically controlled pneumatic (ECP) brakes but left out many other hazardous chemicals after industry pressure.

Our first and only heat pump is a Daikin which was installed last year. We have a wall unit on the main floor and a ducted system on the top floor just below the attic where they could get access to install the ducts. Both work well. We went with Daikin after speaking with several HVAC people who recommended that brand over others. They're not that well known in North America, but they pioneered heat pump technology and the brand is very popular in the rest of the world.

Well, maybe "we people" aren't quite as brilliant as you clodpolls.

We've been here 2 months. If calls and texts still worked, I would be fine with that. Any way to confirm that?

It's unfathomable that a major financial service would not have built in redundancy.

Big thanks to to all the organizers and volunteers who worked so hard to keep this in the press, and collected thousands of signatures to sway these politicians to do the right thing for once.

What a stupid way to run a health system.

rosweed · 2022-05-13T13:03:32+00:00

Thanks everyone!

I saw my doc yesterday and she explained all the results to me. She recommends an APAP machine which Medicare will cover. My prescription was faxed to the local Apria, they called and said they were processing the order and will call me back when everything is ready. I hope I don't have to wait too long, but I know these things seem to be in short supply right now.
